Elden Ring

Not really sure what the fuck to do at this point. I'm not having any fun at all with this expansion. I just dont see whats "fun" here. I've beaten the base game many, many times. Ive beaten every souls game many, many times, but this shit? Its bad. If this entire expansion is like this, I think im done and i wasted my money. Im incredibly angry right now, and my mind may change, but this is some straight up bullshit.

I got summoned by some person, they drop 99x Marika runes (80K each), then a bunch of starlight. Then the person eats poison and dies and I return to my world. WTF?

I didn't even know there were 99x of these runes, unless this person beat the game repeatedly, got board, and was doing a giveaway. Or hax. lol.

After what feels like 100 tries Rellana is down. With 1hp to spare 😳

I have been playing the Souls games since Dark Souls, back in the day on the XBox 360. The Invader mechanic was always a nice touch to the game, most of the people tried to have a fair fight or at least they tried to fight you.

But now, since the DLC, all invaders we get are people trying to lure you to dragons or in a boss room or into another group of enemies because they only understand their L2 button smashing build and can't figure out how to fight properly without abusing some mechanic. Yesterday three people tried to one-shot me with the (thankfully now fixed) Perfumer Bottle Ash of war. Today someone started to shoot at me from afar with a canon and just ran away until he had enough help to finally kill me and my friend. It is just so damn boring going against one trick ponys... Where are the fair fights? Where are the manners? Where are the skillfull invaders that show me how a weapon is used beyond its ash of war?

It is so frustrating, i loved getting invaded in base Elden Ring, always tried to have 1:1 fights with fairness for both sides. But this now is just dumb.

Thank you for reading my rant.

I somehow,barely managed to get to here, i probably lost to that stupid >!hippo!< like 30 times, if it was not for summons, i would have gave up.

I get wrecked by those black knights. Either with colossal mace or twinblade, and twinblade is worse. By the time i rolled out of his 10 attack combo, im out of stamina for carian slicer ( which does meager dmg at scadutree 10 ) and he starts again. WTF

I have like 45 vit 70 int, and im doing less dmg so that its really a chore to even try to break through shadow keep.

Is it a lore reference to a toilet? Hinting at some of the late game of elden ring being shit?

I'm not the best in soulslikes, and I'm wondering if I'm fubar because NG makes stuff harder. Should I just do a replay of the main game on a fresh character?

I literally hadn't even started the NG+ playthrough, I'm at the first Grace 😅

The website went down as I'm posting this. Sounds like a fun idea, I wanted to flex my lore knowledge.

I decided to finish main story today, and not wishing to spend weeks getting so much better, i decided to summon people at each summoning thingy every time, all the time.

player killing Hoarah Loux with serpent killer spear - i have no idea what happened there or which stats did he have, he obliterated the boss in less than 10 seconds, left me speechless

Malenia was most fun, keeping her attention just enough to let the other get a few hits from behind, then rinse and repeat at least untill second phase.

Albinauric mask, powerstancing fist weapons with ironcrag aow or using rapier and shield - absolute goat, had their help with like 5 or 6 bosses. Stay golden <3

I expected way more from Gideon :(

Now that the game is done, im returning the favor next weekend when i have the time to play.

Basically the title, im overhelmed by reading the wiki, i want to do rogier and sellen quests before i visit ranni but they both take me way after i should visit ranni ?

What are some steps i should be looking for till i reach lvl 50, 100? I have general idea which sets and weapons i should be using then, im more for along the way tips.

I finished my pure str ( plus vit / end ) Ugg!Smash! build, want to try something more for a change :)

I hadn't played a Souls/like/borne game before Elden Ring, but the moment I did I fell in love with the sub-genre.

That said, I've never played any of the DLC before, so I'm wondering how I need to approach it. For context: I finished Elden Ring but never started a NG+ run.

Can I jump back in with my guy, or am I going to have to work my way up to the part of the game that unlocks the DLC?

Thanks.

Well not first, but third i guess, tho i did not finish the game.

First build was faith based, and i easily got untill Raya Lucaria, got bored, and saw that i sold or removed a bunch of incantations and ashes i could have used.

Now im restsrting as a more str than faith pve build, looking fot advice - what are some cool weapons to use? I like the morningstar for soem reason. I plan to either buff with fats and incantations and use some minor flames for giggles.

How would i level up? I plan to run to weeping peninsula and grab what i can there before i head off to Stormveil, making a detour around rotten lands too.

First time souls-borne player here. I started the game out with the warrior class because I figured it would be the most well rounded, however, I did a little reading and found that the samurai and vagabond were supposedly good classes for people just starting out. Is it worth it to reset the little progress I have to start out with a different class that might be better?

Hello,

i am trying out the Ash of War Flaming Strike and want to understand if the damage buff scales with faith or not? Its a little confusing.
