I think you actually summarized the reason I got into souls really well. I never thought about the fact that a lack of another Skyrim or Elder Scrolls could have driven me to these games, but it makes total sense. You also touched on the difference in viewpoint really well, it’s not that playing a certain way is bad, but that people are encouraging others to miss out on a huge section of the fun in this game. Watching the comment sections of those people vs more fun streamers like Robb576 and Makuta is just reading the same salt and “do chainsaw” over and over again. It’s upsetting because it’s making the player base view the game more negatively than they need to and thus spreading that mindset around. That’s why channels like yours are awesome Rofo.

I make much more simple builds in these games. Got my faith build, intelligence build, faith int build, quality, ect ect. Just the basic stuff so I can use every weapon in the game and just have a good time in duels and helping people against bosses. But what I really love to do, is make characters. Like full on back stories and all for my characters. I got like 10 characters who are all connected to each other in some way. Evelyn The Loyal is a loyal servant to Lord Iyofair Rugo. IronWill Ishlava was a loyal companion to Ulsof One-Eye until they both parted ways, Ishlava going to join the Redmane knights and Ulsof the Gelmir knights. I have so much lore and back story around these characters, to the point I could make an entire story around them if I wanted. That's how I enjoy these games. Making builds to give me more access to weapons, then making a theme and giving this character all this lore that no one is gonna know about but I don't care its fun.

I fully agree with you on the G9 clones, any brainlet can just grab dual lances or swords or bandits/scavengers and win 9/10 invasions with ease but that's not what these games are about. It was always about silly hijinks and the social aspect, often I just gift the host and return when they have a unique build or cosplay. I've made a RL138 Quality build for the first time and I'll be invading the DLC with it, has a bunch of my favorite weapons that don't often get used despite being fun and it's also versatile so that it easily adapts to most new weapons to be found.

I don't have particular builds and I mess things up easily. However, I am a decent coworker and enjoy this role in PvE and PvP. In the whole time, I maybe was 5 times host. For the DLC however, I will be host more frequently, because I have a lot of items to get rid of, and I like to make giveaways once in a while.

I don’t have a clone of a youtoop build. I have a select variety of weapons that I like to use, and then I’ll add build-specific gear. Examples being shunter on a strength build or Godrick’s Axe on a quality build. So really I just copy paste my builds and adjust them based off of my dmg stats 💀

Totally agree with overly competitive people missing the point and design of these games but I believe they're some sort of necessary evils for the community. Asymmetrical and chaotic nature of invasions is where the fun's at but at the same time, balance does not necessarily mean symmetrical pvp. It's always nice to try out fun weapons without the sole purpose of novelty. A single weapon outclassing all the others will never not be a bad look imo, so all the 'whining' (for lack of a better term) from the tryhard community is sometimes worth it when FROM rarely lends an ear and actually does something. Not to mention some people just cannot help it at all, they just have to win and every game is a fighting game. So I feel sorry for the clones tbh. Love the dlc optimism btw. We all know it'll be filled with OP, frustratingly annoying ashes of war, spells, etc but pve will be fascinating and will take some time to sink in. We've waited this long and hopefully couple of months will do the trick for balancing.

I feel you bro. I have engaged very little with PvP in Elden Ring because it doesn't interest me at all, I just play the PvE, but we have this same problem in the Path of Exile community. I made a video recently discussing the idea of toxic optimality. There is a relatively small but very vocal segment of the community that measures everything in currency per hour and pure power, and copying the latest broken meta build from a popular streamer, and shames anyone who plays/makes off meta builds or just farms the content they think is fun instead of trying to maximize profit like POE is a second job. Your statement of feeling like it is such a waste to just clone a build in a game with so much room for self expression really resonated with me because that's exactly how I feel about POE. I have no problem with people who play that way, other than the fact that they seem to have a problem with everyone who doesn't think like them, and I feel like it is particularly detrimental to newer players who go visit the reddit and are told "You MUST do X, Y, and Z" to play the game.

In fact I'm fairly confident that the new stuff will inject life into ER with the variety alone. Now you can recontextualize your old builds with new options that may better convey your themes. Or come up with completely new builds from new DLC weapons and lore. Also keen Guardian Swordspear, definitely too much for a halberd running poke for sure.

Hey dude, nice video. I agree with you Elden Ring has many cool options to do a build, so its always a great idea to be open to experiment, instead of trying to stick to the meta builds. I mean whether its invasions or arena, these things exist for fun right? Well as for another topic: Yeah running a dual wield build combining a polearm type of weapon with a quicker weapon like a sword is a lot of fun. Did it a lot in Dark Douls 3, for example I used the Aquamarine Dagger in the main hand and then put Friedes Scythe in the off hand. People often get caught off guard when you mix in the slower high range attack from the polearm.

Offhand Friede's Scythe has a surprising amount going for it, one of my favorite builds from DS3 did the same thing but with a couple of different mainhand weapons depending on the situation.

Elden Ring's PvP is a great scene to be a Timmy or a Johnny, and a terrible scene to be a Spike.

I think it is because in every souls-game's life cycle comes a point when the meta becomes codified. Thus, there'll be those who will misunderstand the concept of balance in an RPG game and will perceive weapons and spells in extremes. There's Meta and there's Trash. No in-between So, even though the majority of weapons are simply average, or Mid, as the young kids say, they just don't perceive it that way.

What initally pulled me towards PvP and what yoinks me back in again and again is getting to be part of someone's world as an interesting encounter. One of my favorite things is the surprise social aspects where people communicate via emotes and have fun just acting out a scene. However I have found this inital sentiment has a way of slowly being corroupted by a kind of pride or need for control. Maybe a good fight and a close victory was lost to a betrayal of precieved honor? Maybe you felt that you lost to something annoying or 'low skill' and if you had just a litttttle bit more of an edge you KNOW you could have beaten those guys. Plus like, it can just feel awful to spend how many hours putting together a cool and then getting beaten to a pulp by the host and his squad.

Is it not fair to expect slightly more awareness and creativity from PvPers with thousands of hours under their belt? I can’t imagine not getting bored with stuff when you’re the one invading and seeing dozens of different players a day in-game and online who are using the same exact things.

But not once he says "use this, do that", so the first point is why you assumed thats the case? it just come across as if you have a personal problem with Jeenine or his kind of content or people that watch him or just want to play his builds, which is weird and brings us to my second point that is, people should play how they want and with their own idea of fun.

That's not to say you can't use busted gear here and there, some busted gear is indeed very fun, but I think a playstyle that involves swapping between new weapons and gear every 5 seconds makes for incredibly boring gameplay to watch, and isn't something I'm interested in replicating myself or fighting against for that matter. You can disagree with me on that, I'm not dictating etiquette and this is solely my opinion. I wouldn't call myself "bitter" about this attitude, as none of these youtubers have done anything to me personally and I have almost zero interaction with them which I'm perfectly happy with.

Been doing "uninvasions" the past couple days, a lot of the time they will just kill me but half the time at least they will respond positively, had some great interactions and gave some consumables or weapons away. Im not very good at pvp but i find this a lot more fulfilling. To be honest i really dislike invaders, a lot of them ive witnessed use npc's as shields, try and kill the cooperators even after the host has gone to the boss room and runaway to try and aggro every enemy on the map (not saying you do those things). Did like the tone of the video and i find pvp in Elden Ring interesting to hear about.

Hahaha I'd say ER PVP can be a lot more fun to hear about than do oneself sometimes, that's for sure. But PVP's highs can be pretty dang high I'd say

so much dishonesty I find in this vid offhand great spear is broken because of its hyperarmor which should not have, and you call that trying different set ups try whip with flail and we will how it goes

I have tried whips and they are pretty fun, have YOU tried them? Clearly not since you seem adverse to anything that a youtuber would put below C tier on a weapon tier list. Whips are actually pretty fun with the offhand Great Spear too, which other talented people have highlighted before. But again, wouldn't recommend you trying that because that might be too much fun for you

how many times you mentioned g9 this is almost obsessional

You've left 3 comments on my video in the last 5 minutes and you want to talk about obsessional?
