no one in that post is actually mad about elden ring, it's just people posting really obvious bait on discord and v because lying on the internet is fun and you get to pretend to be an evil little genius when people spread your poo poo around. it's not any deeper than that.

Does anyone who played the network test know anything about the cracked pots? In theory I kind of like the idea of being a mad alchemist bomber but have no idea if that’s what they enable.

apparently they're "infinite" kind of like an estus, so you'd presumably get them back when you rested at a bonfire and can put other stuff in them. I assume you'd build your supply of them slowly enough to where you couldn't use them super often early on, though.

I hope there's a lot of weird stuff you can put in them and it's not just poo poo like "blows up like a grenade" or "poison gas"

e: spiderwebs to pin players down in pvp. homing soul arrows on command. let me throw one and teleport like an ender eye

The cracked pots are a renewable resource that you use to make firebombs or sleep bombs etc. So if you have 3 cracked pots you mix them with herbs to make 3 sleep bombs. After you throw the 3 sleep bombs you get the cracked pots back in your inventory and can make more bombs. Someone compared them to Bottles in Zelda games which sounds right to me.

What is Arcane? Not like what it does as a stat but what is it supposed to represent? Mainly asking because the bandit starts with 14 and for some reason I expected that to fall more in the domain of caster territory. Is it like pyromancies?

Pyromancies are incantations(miracles) in this game btw

My interpretation is a sort of mystical luck. Based around it being for item find.

Apparently fromsoft "hates PC" because they're not willing to put the effort in to cater to people who want to play at 600fps on a monitor wider than they are tall. Hardcore magic box buyers are wild.

Speaking of warrior mage dreams. Do you think the magic sword slash spells can still be parried like in DS3? Because I'm just imagining some bottom of the barrel shield and spear enemy guard countering your fancy spell now.

Considering DS Remastered had ultrawide support and it's the year 2022, Fromsoft is just plain incompetent on the tech end.

"Minimum" are the lowest specs they've tested the game with. Not the lowest specs the game can actually run on.

It is still a PS4/Xbox One game. So unless they really hosed up with optimization on the PC version, the game can probably run okay on hardware that could run DS3/Sekiro.

after my caestus run I'm really looking forward to doing a Holy/Blessings + Flail + The Tallest Dumbest Hat I Can Find run. I hope there's a big, stupid flail, like a chunk of castle wall attached to a rope, or a giant bell or something.

and then I might make a pvp knife dude

I want a giant bell that rings when it hits. I'm currently replaying DS2 while waiting for Elden Ring, and I'm very disappointed Velstadt's Sacred Chime Hammer doesn't make bong noises, even though it does in the boss fight. From, make a bell weapon that actually makes a bong sound you cowards.

Also, gonna pick prisoner as my starting class cause it has the best hat. Maybe it rings like a bell when hit.

dldsr is fun since it applies some hyper sharpening bullshit that makes nearly every grain of texture pop like crazy. I'm pretty sure Yennefer in Witcher 3 ages like 20 years just from having her face textures go ultra instinct. In this picture you can see the effect on the firekeeper's necklace

That write up made me choose Vagabond since it has the lowest Arcane and you don’t need that many level ups to make a magic fighter hybrid with it like the article said
