Losing so many pvp fights to lag

[SeeDee]

It seems every pvp fight I get into, I will die to a phantom hit or someone hitting me from 5m away. I have decent spacing, I know some pvp tech, I use choke points and the map to my advantage, but its so disheartening when every fight results in death because I choose not to roll through someones swing which is light years away from me. During the fights I can trade well in 1v2 situations but I ♥♥♥♥ you not I always end up dying to some spell or running attack that has no business hitting me.

I am yet to have a death where I think "damn, that's my fault for not rolling through that" and not "damn, I should have predicted that swing would have hit me when I am 3 bus lengths away from them"

At the end of the day you really can't take Elden Ring pvp too seriously. Go in there, have a laugh, try to have fun, and when you aren't having fun anymore, move on. Getting worked up over lag or meta weapons or dying in Elden Ring pvp is just a sign you should take a break. It's not that serious.

Maybe you're the laggard? checked profile and australia kinda checks all box

That's my favorite excuse too!

tantas entregas de la saga souls y nunca solucionaron el lag.

lo peor es que agregan armas enfocadas totalmente en pvp que no sirven para nada por el lag

Lags are very rare in pvp. I have been playing with players ranging from East Asia, NA to EU. I myself is living in SEA. So, I don't think this is a game issue.

Try disabling cross region matchmaking. Maybe it works.

If I remember correctly, checking off cross region only excludes the rest of the world from japan and vice versa. So, doesn't really help too much.

No way really??? What a useless feature if true

You can test the ping with a fan dagger

Fromsoft's souls are not designated PvP games. The current PvP is a small, relatively poorly made addition due to years of requests from a certain player faction. If you want to play a kind of medieval/fantasy PvP, you're better off with stuff like Chivalry 2 or Mordhau.

Of course, there are the same cheats and lag wizards as everywhere else in the MMO world, but at least these are games that were designed from the very beginning solely for PvP.

That's unfortunate I actually found arena connections to be a smidge better after the patch.

Actually had a few fights that felt like playing a normal game online.

Even backstepped punished that light greatswords diving sword thrust Ash

Which isn't really something that felt viable since DKS 2.

I think ER PVP is on the right path with the most recent patch.

Still room for improvement, I think L2 warriors are still a thing.

But I will take L2 warriors over Instant status any day of the week.
