I heard the game runs at negative fps. It's like when you look at a tire on the highway and it appears to be going backwards.

48 hours before your given launch time according to the release timeszones map they provided, but if you're an elden ring NFT holder you get priority in the queue

Is that the gold or silver tier? I knew I should have splashed out but I bought the edition with the horse skins instead

I was thinking to start with Vagabond for a battlemage build but after watching a bunch of gameplay it's going to be hard to say no to the samurai with that longbow right off the bat.

Anyone know, without spoilers, how long into the game before other classes will find or can buy a bow?

There's a shop very early on, but I don't remember if they sell a bow. I'll go check and edit this post with the answer.

Edit: They do.

I always liked sorcery more than pyromancy, so pyromancy ending up in faith makes me wonder if I'll want to branch out my normal faith caster into a theurge. Magic missile from horseback is always powerful.

I'm really excited for the one that turns Torrent into a raptor.

It seems that two-legged skins are going to be pretty rare - the only two I'm aware of are Raptor and Ostrich.

I assume they put the Ostrich in there to placate the Final Fanboys, but I just can't get into the look of it.

The only thing more valuable than my privacy and safety is playing elden ring.

Edit: I watched the sabaku stream a bit more and he addresses the stuttering. He says pretty plainly that it wasn't happening on his end but stream viewers were noticing it. He says clearly that the game was not stuttering for him but viewers noticed it.

Basically just popped an ember and became enkindled hearing that.

the reasons are just "patching other games requires work to get things set up and all our focus is on the elden ring launch right now so patching other games has to wait" which is very reasonable

It has always been my policy that upon defeat in pvp I make available to the victor my 500 gigs of dick pics that I've taken of myself. If they were honorable in their conduct they receive them in the png format.

Yup they probably thought they were done patching those games years ago and need time to get things in place to deliver a new patch. That Bamco turned off servers and promised a fix tells you how serious an RCE vulnerability is. Not overblown at all, it's worth being concerned about. But prioritizing fixing Elden Ring gives me some reason to trust them when they say it'll be fixed at launch. I don't plan on doing much co-op anyway, so I probably won't see many invasions.

my ps5 controller came in, it feels really nice. Basically just like the ps4 controller but a bit bigger and heavier. I plugged it in and my PC and steam recognizes it, so I think I'm good to go.

Also I'm leaning back toward Str/Faith again. The idea of flinging a fireball into the loathsome dung eater's face and then following it up with a big rear end loving sword up his rear end, for stealing my thunder, is too cool to pass up.

I'm going to play it a few days offline for smarter people to give it a looking over. A known RCE in the wild on a major release is pretty bad if it isn't fixed, but at least it looks like they're taking it seriously.
