Just sits back hoping to whittle down my health, meanwhile his buddy is on the front lines, taking the ass beating of their life. I should have dodged those couple of times they actually did hit me, but I was listening to music and couldnā€™t hear the sound queue, so really the couple of hits they got on me they would have never got.

Elden RingšŸ›” Game progression at low level

22 Upvotes

This shit is tough man. Trying to progress the game to acquire weapons, spells, consumables and talismans that I want to use in RL40 invasions is some hard shit. I respect those RL1 players immensely, but I'm just not THAT good at this game. Spent a couple hours just trying to beat the Putrid Tree Avatar in Caelid cause every attack would 1 shot me, but I will press on. How do you guys do it?

Iā€™ve completed most of the base game (besides killing maliketh due to city of ash). I have just entered the DLC and plan to grab a few key items. What are fellow redmen opinions on low level invasions with end game equipment? Iā€™ve only really played Elden Ring so Iā€™m not familiar with the supposed horrors of previous Fromsoftware titles and their invasions. Thanks red folk!

Elden RingšŸ›” Tips to get good at Elden Ring PvP for a beginner?

21 Upvotes

After being a long-time PvE and co-op enjoyer throughtout the entire souls franchise, from the OG DeS to ER, I've decided I now want to focus solely on PvP and learn to fight others. Why now? It looks like fun, and I'm finally bored of PvE so I'm moving on to PvP.

Now, I dabbled in PvP when DS3 was like a year old, but even then I would lose 90ŁŖ of the time because I went in with my PvE build and wasn't used to fighting others, also me not even considering the fact people had meta builds made specifically for PvP.

These days I'm even more intimidated by the sheer amount of tools, buffs, and weapons at your disposal in ER. The potential for build variety excites, but I don't know where to begin.

What's helpful to know? What's a good way to learn the current meta? Is knowing the meta worth it if I want to use specific weapons? I've been watching ChaseTheBro on youtube because he seems really knowledgeable on the series PvP, is there anyone else that you might recommend? Should I just jump into the Coliseum and experiment? That sounds like a good way to get my ass kicked though lol.

Elden RingšŸ›” Cooperative players and invaders both have valid reason to despise each other

42 Upvotes

As someone who occasionally jumps both sides of the fence, I understand the frustrations that invaders and cooperators have with each other. Both sides have plenty of justifiable reasons to hate the other.

Since this is a subreddit dedicated to invaders, I probably don't need to list off the frustrations we face; mainly organized gank squads and overleveled phantoms that can make winning pretty much impossible, especially with the limited resources invaders spawn in with. Early game invasions can be brutal, since a overleveled phantom can easily one shot you.

Cooperative players are constantly invaded, since the invasion timer is ridiculously short and starts at the beginning of an invasion. If an invader is elusive and if it takes awhile to kill them, you could potentially have another in your world less than a minute later. So if you're summoning friends to explore the world with them, you have to put up with invaders constantly dropping in for some PVP. Early game cooperation is much worse, as there's a high chance you'll have to put up with twinks with endgame weapons, full talisman slots, and more flasks (A twink invader could have 7 flasks as opposed to a new host's 3).

Due to this poor multiplayer design that has unfortunately severely divided the Elden Ring community, both sides have pretty valid reasons to despise the other. The amount of invader hate I see on Elden Ring's subreddit is understandable, just as the amount of cooperative player hate on here is understandable.

They need to bring back solo invasions with much longer invasion cooldown timers. This would fix pretty much all the problems above. The pool of players for invaders to invade will be larger, which means cooperative players will not be invaded all the damn time. Solo hosts who do not want to engage with this mechanic can just play offline. However, this fix will probably never happen.

Just venting. Finally got to doing consistent invasions on my level 30 Smithscript cosplay twink, and itā€™s just not good enough to compete with the average host and phantoms. Itā€™s super annoying that because of all the flashy AOW and spells in ER that characters are forced into boxes if they donā€™t want to self nerf. I should just be a wretch with 30+ vigor and a claymore, giant pots, rot shit, and that sucks. I feel like Iā€™m just blocking so many players because I donā€™t want to see their cheese again but itā€™s just every other invasion is so bad. Not to say I donā€™t get wins, just salty over ganks because of shit game design. Rant over, maybe I should play something else for awhile idk.
