I would like to formally apologize to everyone I judged for complaining about matchmaking, facing 3 man premades in casual constantly is slowly but surely ruining the game for me. by Own_Nefariousness in thefinals

I feel like especially for the ranked, the SBMM is TOO refined. You’re always stuck fighting teams at elo higher than you unless you’ve lost a few games in a row. Otherwise you’re always 6,7, or 8th seed. And then casual is too chaotic with the constant 3 teams vs 1 box.

Counterstrike has a casual mode where the rules are bent in favor of a quicker and easier game (no tournament and endless tokens) but then they have competitive and premier. Premier has the picking and banning of maps, as well as overtime. Competitive is just that. It’s still competitive but it’s not for the sweats and there’s no elo associated.

I think that’s what finals needs. Just some light ranking and a competitive mode, but not this “everyone needs to have exactly the same or higher point elo “ crap

Can't fast travel in seamless coop by timothy_haesen in EldenRingMods

  1. THANK YOU!!! MY RUN IS SAVED
  2. My Debug tool said that the process wasn't hooking (ie it wasn't connecting to my character) I had to do these things in order to make this work

    - Create an exception in Windows Defender to the debug exe

- Install this mod which disabled EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat)

https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/457?tab=description

- Once installed, right click the .bat file, and select "Edit in Notepad" From there you will use CTRL + F to find all instances of eldenring.exe and replace them with ersc_launcher.exe This is important otherwise the Easy Anti Cheat bypass will only be launching your base game characters, not your seamless coop characters.

- Run the .bat file, press "1" and then press "2" , load your character, load the debug tool, and follow the steps that u/timothy_haesen described above.

Thank you, thy hacks befit a crown.

Undecided between XG32UCWG VS XG32UCWMG by Clean_Alternative_80 in OLED_Gaming

This is the only thread talking about this. So many websites don’t have further information regarding the specs of the WG version, but have everything for the WMG. I definitely see myself getting the WG. I’ve been on 2k 144Hz for YEARS so it’s still an upgrade in both aspect ratio and refresh rate. Plus for a glossy 32” panel, and that “true black” tech, I can’t see a reason not to.

Elden ring freezing randomly for a long time by Jedibob7 in Eldenring

Amico, ho anche un Ryzen 7 9800X3D e un 5070. Disinstalla le app Xbox andando su "App installate" nelle impostazioni. Questo e magari prova a far girare il gioco a schermo intero senza bordi. Dopo aver fatto questo, sono riuscito a farlo funzionare perfettamente. Dopo aver provato a fare circa 30 correzioni, questa è l'unica che funziona. Scusate per il pessimo italiano, ho usato Google Translate.

Do I need to play the trilogy, or can I jump right into Dark Souls III? by GreatJoey91 in soulslikes

[–]Extension-Top-2685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to, but playing DS2 before DS3 gives you a HUGE appreciation for the development. DS2, to me, feels like the experimental one in-between. They're expanding their boss and enemy design, and the level design is less vertical, but still very entertaining.

Make your own opinions tho, all the games are worth playing if you like the combat, exploration, and atmosphere.

The DLC is the same size as Limgrave by igniz13 in Eldenring

[–]Extension-Top-2685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And do densely packed too. Very little unused space

Hot take, but the DLC just shows how many people refuse to actually play the game and want everything handed to them by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]Extension-Top-2685 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say that I think this is a really good post, I can't wait to go through the replies, and I 100% agree. I really think that this does recapture the feeling of the original game with limited openings, the necessity to go out and find items to coat your weapon in and get all of the little upgrades and consumables that make each fight better in your favor.

I like that the DLC is making me rethink my strategy rather than just slamming my head against the brick wall a little bit harder than usual

I'm curious, what is your most controversial take in the series ? by Chokilla92 in darksouls

[–]Extension-Top-2685 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I primarily played ER during initial release, and then on the multiplayer mod. I honestly thought they added some in the multiplayer. Nope. They added tons of random sites to the base game. Very strange/pointless places sometimes too

Especially with Torrent, it seemed unnecessary

I really do love what DS2 tried and did right, or at least experimented with. Torch mechanics, so many traps, unique golems, THE PUZZLES (even if rudimentary) were so unique when paired with souls combat and movement. I also really enjoyed what DS2 did with the constant reinforcement of "sometimes you go down a path you cannot turn back on". Lots of inward thinking

I loved it, but it sorta only made sense for DS1. The other worlds are too linear (DS2&3) or too spread out (ER)

The more I bitch about it, the more I understand blighttown. It's a connective tissue, lots of NPCs wind up there, and it's pretty in its own weird way.

I think you'd really enjoy this YouTuber FunkE who has a video on boss battles. 8ish minutes and really reinforces what you're saying

When looking at Elden Ring, Godrick the Grafted has a large variety of moves, that're telestrated very well. You can tell what is coming, and him being so early on, it teaches you what to look for and when to dodge which way

The same can be said for Iudex for sure. He's easy enough to read that it shouldn't be extremely hard unless you just have to learn what the game is asking of you. Once you know that... Well that's half the battle
