What is up with this gatekeeping community?

[AlanAlanAlan]

Yo, was just wondering. I've read a lot of stuff recently ike:

"If you play with magic you're a noob"
"If you use summons you're a noob"
"If you level above 150 your playthrough is invalid"
"If you play coop with a friend your playthrough is invalid... and you're a noob"
"If you don't play they way I play please uninstall the game"

Like, what is wrong with those clowns? They're are storming the internet insulting people who prefer playing like mentioned above. Just play the game the way you like lol.

But seriously I am curious: what is it with the "level 150 cap"?

See you in the Shadowlands o/

Did you just arrive on the Internet yesterday? It's called trolls, they're the reason the "block" button exists. Presumably they're here because the freaks they hang out with on Twitter weren't giving them the attention they crave in their pathetic, meaningless existences.

The level-150 is a simple arbitrary number,
that the community has unofficially agreed to promote as the 'stopping-point' of rune-levels.

It's completely meaningless, but the intended purpose is to create a general level-range where multiplayer aspects will produce shorter queue-times.



... All of that other stuff, is because some bonglord has beaten everything in the game with a starting equipment wretch and no additional upgrades.

So now if you play anything other than a sl-1 run, it's considered nooby.

A lot of people are joking, trolling, or confused that the rest are joking/trolling and actually taking it a step beyond.

This applies if you're interested in multiplayer since most active
player pool is around levels 120, 150 with max weapons.

If you don't care about multiplayer be whatever level
and any weapon upgrade level you want.

Lvl 150 are one the two meta level for duels. Anyway, in the context of PvE, it's crap...

If you do not play in the exact way that i, a complete stranger approves of, you are a noob.

This is inherent to souls games. Elden Ring attracts a particular spicy subclass of trolls because of changes to the invasion system.

No those are just idiots and cancers. They never played king's field or other's FS games like i did so.... put them on a real hard game and they will cry and crawl x)

Farming souls and using summons does make you a noob. Sorry to break it to you.

Hey, we've met, Fallout 76.

Butting heads with bigot morons and unfunny LGBTQ bait trolls?

Well buckle in, we have those here too.

Some very sad cases for human beings are so unimportant and have so little impact on the world that they feel like being 'good' at a video game matters. That's all.

I seriously wish FromSoft would remaster all the King's Field and Shadow Tower games and give us the real KF1 and Shadow Tower 2 for the first time.

I guess there's lot more people who disagree with that unofficial number than not, because I find invasions and co-op to be way more active at 200 than 150. That's just me though.

They're farming for awards points or enjoy crawling under your skin.

People insisting there's only one "right" way to beat a game is nothing new. Just ignore them.

As long as you're not using exploits or 3rd party tools to cheat then whatever you do to beat the boss is legit. There's absolutely nothing wrong with using the tools the game gives you. That's why they exist in game, to be used.

It's a personal choice to use them or not. It's your playthrough, play the way you want. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
