next game bring back old invasion system

[MrDerpHerpin]

please, dealing with gank squads has its funny moments but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ it gets old after awhile. if folks don't wanna deal with PvP in a game like Elden Ring, then they shouldn't be playing FromSoft games in general. this has always been my only problem with an otherwise amazing game. can't wait for shadow of the erdtree to come out, looking forward to it!

The fact that I don't have to deal with invasions is the only reason I bought the game. I guess, FS would love to lose millions of sales.

Hmm, i did not like being invaded when i was just bumbling around or when i go afk.

You are very short-sighted my friend. Forced pvp should have never been a thing in the first place, especially in an open world rpg like Elden Ring. Forcing pvp on those who want nothing to do with it but otherwise enjoy the game is a terrible system and only increases the likelihood people quit, which is the exact opposite thing you want as a developer who cares about money.

It's FromSoftware that made the decision, so if anything it's the opposite.

If invaders don't want to deal with phantoms, they shouldn't play FromSoftware games.

Also, I like fighting phantoms in invasion, there's duels if you don't wanna fight squads.

short sighted, or just someone that has a different opinion from yours?

Nah, picking on solo hosts is played out. I say this as a devout invader. Even though I did have some great battles on the old system especially in Demon's Souls.

But, fighting 2 or 3v1 is just so much more fun, and satisfying when you win. But yea sometimes you just get ganked but you can just block them if it's really bothering you

i just prefer the old system tbh, i still have fun with this games invasion mechanics.

The invader hate going strong as usual cause people want the cake and eat it too.

How that worked out for the longevity of the PvP? ah yeah, it died faster than DS3.

Its boring as hell due to the poor balance.

Fight clubs straight up died.

No covenants for more fun varied online interactions.

Solo Invasions dont exist.

Co-Op players are stuck with all the invaders cause of it.

Invading requires to tryhard as hell to even stand a chance.

Blues are essentially useless.

Etc.


The only people that benefited from these changes are those that cry every time they got invaded despite buying the games anyway, while the already long existing community surrounding these games for years got screwed over.

They have to restore the invading system to its former glory and polish it to be even better, not downgrade it for tourists.

pretty sure elden ring is one of the only games they've made aside from bloodborne that has more of a cooperative focus. i have nothing against those that prefer coop, i was just simply saying that i prefer the previous games invasion mechanics, has literally nothing to do with wehter i wanna deal with phantoms or not.

Maybe you shouldn't play this game. It seems it is not type of game you would enjoy.
There are many other games which allow invasions of solo hosts.

Developers decide on game design. Your personal wish list is irrelevant.
Every one of us could ask things to change more to their preference.

sir, ever heard of what an opinion is? can you read, is that even physically possible?
i don't mind going against a gank squad, i simply said it just gets stale after awhile. if all it takes to trigger a response like this is just one simple statement from an opinion, then you've got some serious issues to deal with good sir.

Increase the player count!

The old invasion system was ♥♥♥♥ too.

They don't need to bring it back, they need to redo invasion design philosophy and weapon balance at a fundamental level.

Idk about that, while flawed, DS3 did it pretty well.

Just had to polish that design.
