nanoUFOFromSoftware says Elden Ring's popular Seamless Co-op mod is 'definitely not something we actively oppose,' and may even 'consider ideas like that with our future games'
ampersandrewGlad to hear they’re doing the smart thing and listening to what people want. Invasions sound cool on paper, but they end up just being annoying, and you design how you play around avoiding imagine. It’s cool to summon people from their summon signs, but it would just inherently work better if you could choose people from a damn menu, including your friends.
RightHandOfIkarosInvasions work well for a game like Dark Souls. Especially when it creates unique 1v1 scenarios. Dark Souls is open world to a point, and in a larger sense is linear in its progression, while allowing the player to choose the order of some of the steps.
For a game like Elden Ring, it doesn’t work out so well.
