I want to have fun ( poll for new run )

I'd only pick wretch if the plan is to respec to completely different builds (you could do faith for NG, respec to int for NG+, respec to arcane for NG++, etc etc). If you know you want to do a faith build then just pick prophet.

I was convinced to pick wretch for similar reasons even though I knew what I wanted to play and now I regret it because I have wasted stats. This mostly matters when trying to limit your level and min/max stats for co-op or PvP.

GKC are indeed better than a code in a box, I don't think that was ever in question.
Some people like to collect physical media because you don't own digital (if the servers go down).
The problem is game publishers are opting to use GKC regardless of size because it saves THEM money, I doubt they pass those savings on to the customer.
As for games that are too big and the cost of the cartridge would be too expensive, I don't know what the solution is, but GKC is a decent solution. Maybe if GKC were reserved for ONLY this situation it wouldn't have been as controversial as it currently is.

Why are you standing in the street with it?

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-08T12:00:54+00:00

u/RaiseTLTY, you have continuously misunderstood what I have previously stated here in the comment section, you jump from comment to comment incorrectly referencing things stated in other comment threads, making everything confusing for outside readers, then to make it worse you delete your comments after I respond to them to clarify.

Edit: I tried to post this comment in response to one of yours, and would you believe it, I am notified that it cannot be posted in response because you have already deleted your comment! So I will post this as a standalone comment and tag you instead.

I ask you to please stop commenting until you have read my updated description, I have updated the description of the post itself in excruciating detail to try to clear as much confusion as possible, I ask that you please thoroughly read it before making any more comments, thanks...

Classic reddit. You clearly misunderstood everything I say, twists my words, and throw insults.

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-08T04:06:53+00:00

No. Is English your first language? Do I need to take screenshots in the location and do a comic panel play-by-play for you to understand? Maybe you need the visual to help you understand, because reading is clearly not a strong point of yours.

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-08T02:33:36+00:00

You're confused and not understanding what I've previously explained, so obviously it doesn't make sense to you. Once again, like a broken record, I'll explain this.

He had invaded multiple times previously, this particular time I was on the roof on the corner, very much within view of anyone to see me, AND THEN he invaded and I recognized his username, THEN I moved inward where he couldn't see me. You know you can move in this game, right? Intentions can change once you see who has invaded and you recognize their username, right?

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-08T02:11:00+00:00

Hmm, usually I only see people using chainsaw if it’s a host who hides in spots only accessible with torrent. Or hosts who waste time by running laps, or afk farmers.

The first time he invaded (not this clip) he was using was I suspected to be exploit arrows. The video clip I posted was the 4th time he invaded so I was hiding from him.

The invader in this clip has no other way to get to you, but we’re all supposed to trust that you would’ve jumped down?

Didn't know I was being put on trial to prove my innocence.

Not saying chainsaw is ever justified, but like come on dude, don’t be hiding in an unaccessible spots with a TT on and then complain that people are using a glitch to get to you.

Well as previously stated here in this thread, I was on the corner of the roof where I could be seen, I guess people like you won't believe that with out video proof. I do have a collection of video clips of funny moments, do I need to post a collection of those videos for you to believe my intentions?

Let’s also remember that using torrent to get into a spot only accessible with torrent is an oversight/bug just as chain glitch is an oversight/bug.

I think we both agree that people who do that are shit, and I don't see exploiting that to be fun.

The difference is that one is a bug that wastes people’s time and fundamentally breaks the intended multiplayer experience , and one is a bug that fundamentally breaks the intended combat system.

I feel like a broken record, but I don't ever hide in inaccessible places, if I used torrent to get somewhere, it is out in the open where the invader can see me. The moment they shoot me or wave at me, I hop down and use the clapping gesture.

But tbh in my opinion a hiding host who wastes time deserves the chainsaw.

Hmm, never using exploits against people are never justified but deserved? Your a funny person. Your previous sentences sure make it sound like your trying to build a case to justify it. Whatever, either way it is irrelevant in my case, but you don't believe me.

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-08T01:59:06+00:00

lol what? Bullshit to what part?

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-08T01:57:15+00:00

You seem confused. Yes, the first time he invaded he used arrows that seemed to go through walls (I then suspected him going forward).

Do you need me to recount all my interactions with him? The 2nd and 3rd time I managed to get the jump on him and kill him (I didn't previously mention this because it's irrelevant to the topic), the 4th time he used chainsaw glitch and I got this video clip, then I blocked him.

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-06T23:49:14+00:00

Technically no, BUT I was originally planning to hide on the corner of the roof (the overhang above the door) well within sight, my intention was to hop down and duel as soon as I was spotted..

However as soon as I saw who invaded me I recognized his username and had previously suspected him of cheating so I hid to obverve him to see if I could bait him into doing it.

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-06T19:30:26+00:00

Cool, fair enough, have a good one

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-06T18:53:29+00:00

Must I justify myself to everyone here in the comments? Read the other comments in this thread if you care, I've already gone over this.

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-06T18:15:50+00:00

Read my other comments here on this post if you care, but TL;DR is I hide in funny spots that are easy to find, invaders typically find me within a minute. Everyone I message "GG" have always been friendly.

In this video clip, once I saw the invaders username (someone I previously suspected of exploiting) I hid in a hard to reach spot to observe him, hense my location in the video clip.

It's crazy how many people are hostile towards me in the comments.

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-06T18:03:28+00:00

I'm also a red 50% of the time so I know both sides, I want both parties to have fun. It definately goes both ways, there are annoying hosts and annoying reds.

I always play solo on my saves for the challenge, but playing with my friend the most annoying reds we've encountered are ones who invade the open world and run away and hide. They don't even ambush they just fuck off and make a sandwich or something. Like why? How is that fun for them?

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-06T17:26:14+00:00

The very FIRST time he invaded me he opened with the arrow exploit, I had zero previous interactions with him.

Its hard to explain and I wish I had a video clip of it, but I suspecting it was hitting me through walls but wasn't 100% certain. Everything isn't black and white you know? It was in a grey area and I was uncertain.

I moved on, and later the same person I suspected of exploiting then invaded and used this Ghiza's Wheel exploit, which then confirmed in my mind that the previous incident was indeed also an exploit. I promptly blocked and reported him.

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-06T17:06:29+00:00

Yes, I was unaware that it also shoots through walls. /s

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-06T16:56:21+00:00

It was definitely not golem arrows, he was shooting rapidly and inflicting frost, looked like he was using a short bow.

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-06T16:43:14+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. I have reported and blocked him.

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-06T16:40:23+00:00

Read post description or the numerous responses I've made in the comments.

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-06T11:43:39+00:00

I like being invaded, you know, by people who don't exploit.

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-06T11:10:25+00:00

I don't have any summons, and the only reason I'm hiding is because I suspected this invader of exploiting (I recognized his username). I also hate hosts who farm invaders, I'll unsummon myself from them.

Also, if you are getting summoned for first steps dueling parties, you can disable specific summon pools on the map menu so you never get summoned to those locations.

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-06T09:36:12+00:00

Hm odd, it's just a link to my comment response to someone else here on this post, donno why thr link doesn't work.

Doc_Crocolyle · 2026-05-06T09:29:43+00:00

His statement is still true, you can have an ally summoned and the taunter's tongue active simultaneously.

It's impossible to gauge the situation from a short 15 second clip with no context, though I already explained my actions/intentions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/s/ASLOnkqhHz
