Eldne Ring

[@fatherWolt]

Elden Ring would be a perfect game if they reworked the co-op system. The co-op system makes sense for Dark Souls, but not for an open world souls game. There's mods that have already made multiplayer entirely seamless (respawn's allies and removes co-op barriers). I hope it gets a rework in the future if possible.

[@reno2934]

They make these games as single player experiences first and for most, the coop has always only ever been for fighting some bosses with friends. You want them to add something they just don't want in their games clearly.

[@rhinestonepeter]

​@@reno2934 Having 2 min disconnects is not something intentional by the developers, it is just incompetence. If they didnt want co-op then they would remove it

[@rhinestonepeter]

There is a mod for Elden Ring that makes the multiplayer experience seamless and pretty fun. It completely reworks a ton of stuff, but most importantly it doesn't host you on Elden Ring servers so you won't get the disconnect bug. Its called Seamless Co-op on Nexus mods

[@runningbeaner1]

@@rhinestonepeter just because people resummon their friends or random people when they disconnect doesn’t mean it’s the intended idea. You can’t use your horse for a reason when having summons, they have specific parts where you summon people, the summons have less flasks, it goes on. The purpose is not to have summons 100% of the time, they have laxed multiplayer because they know fans want to play with friends, but bosses, mobs, moving, and everything else in the game is clearly aimed to have single player first, with occasional help. People can mod stuff all they want, but FS has made it pretty apparent in how they develop the games that multiplayer in all aspects(with the exception of DS2 PvP) comes second to single player experience.

[@sams7068]

It would be cool to see new innovative multiplayer ideas from future From games (new ones! Not the same asynchronous package from demons souls). However it is a tightrope bc a significant portion of the FS audience is all about single player, and now a new contingent wants just the standard co-op package without frills or things like invasions (which I get-not every FS action rpg needs invasions, I just wish they would experiment again like they did with invasions tbh).
