Unless you've been living under a rock you've probably heard of the masterwork that is Elden Ring. Released on February 25, 2022 by Armored Core creator FromSoftware, Elden Ring is a sekiro-like action game where your character has arisen from a sleep to fight dragons, demigods, and other big monsters with broken hitboxes and overpowered attacks. Defeating enemies allows you to customize your characters vocation by leveling up different stats, acquiring new skills, and upgrading weapons and armor. Fighting enemies alone can be pretty tricky, so you have the ability to summon both NPCs as well as other human players to assist you cooperatively, using them as pawns in your battles.

Summoning human players to help you is purposely restricted in several ways in the vanilla version of the game to give a sense of isolation, ephemeralness, and frustration. While I understand (and approve) of this design choice, it certainly cuts down on the "shenanigan factor", a key benchmark in multiplayer games. To rectify this, my colleagues and I will be using the seamless co-op mod for this LP. Please be aware this mod is an in-progress fanwork, so there might will be hiccups. I pray I can edit around these.



Is this real?
Only if you believe~

Who are you?
I am Kuvo and I am still somehow convincing Geop and Vicas to make LPs with me. We have a bit of a history with this series.

What is this mod you speak of?
The Seamless co-op mod can be found here. Here are some of the important changes

quote:

- If a player dies, they will respawn in the same world at the last bonfire they rested at.
- Defeating enemy bosses and clearing areas no longer sends co-operators home.
- All fog walls/barriers that usually restrict the multiplayer zone (along with their respective teleports) are gone.
- All players can use torrent (assuming they have the whistle) in a session together.
- All map waypoints will synchroniz
- When one player rests at a Site of Grace, the world state will reset for all players.
- Game progression events completed in online play will also progress the game in your own world.
- If one player sits at a bonfire while others are in boss rooms, those players will be removed from the boss rooms.
- Dying during a boss battle will put your character into limbo, spectating other players until either everyone in the party has been defeated, or a player rests at a site of grace.
- Dying in a cooperative session will afflict your player with rot. Rot is a stackable debuff which will increase with subsequent deaths. You can only remove rot by sitting at a Site of Grace. There are 5 different types of rot, which will be picked at random when a player dies.

What's the spoiler pollicy?
Vicas and I have played though this game several times. Geop has not. Do not ruin it for him.

Why are you editing everything?
Elden Ring is a huge game. There's going to be quite a bit of downtime during travel, leveling up, death runs, etc. We're also certainly going to have issues with the mod. I value your time (but not mine?) so I'll be cutting out the fat.

How often are you going to release video?
I have no clue. We are all 30 or 40 years old and have lives outside the internet so this might go on 8+ years or something.

Who is Rumsfeld?
A reprehensible tarnished who has been isekaing around for a bit (tl note: isekai means quantum leap)

Who is Hilde?
A tarnished who cast aside their namesake, ashamed of it's words and deeds.

Who is Big Titty Borzoi?
A tarnished of much renown, and a bangin set of honkers.

Um actually you mispoke when you stated Mohg didn't aquire all of his high school physical fitness credit hours. If you had read the lore you would know he had a waver and...
While Vicas and I are knowlegable about the game, you must remember one of us sometimes forgets things, and the other sometimes makes things up.

Is this going to be like your other LPs where you sucked at every fight, paid no attention to the game, got drunk and yelled and even passed out in a few episodes?
I can't recall the events you're talking about.

I want to co-op with you!
Please submit your resume and CV to our HR department and we will get back to you in 2-4 business years.

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?

Normally I don't make aesthetic criticisms in other peoples' homes, but that rug looks like a beaver exploded. If meat is murder, then that rug is at least a severe beating.

Looks like you lot are having real fun! I feel like Geop was getting real tired of DS2's poo poo by the end of that LP so here's hoping the co-op experience can pull you all through this monstrosity of a game.

Is the game not giving you ally NPCs because you've already got two co-players in with you?

Y'know? I think this may actually be the perfect way to LP this game. Just having a good time with your bros.
I'll be drat impressed if you can make it all the way, but this is fun. Cheers, guys.

I think I must have. It was honestly getting to be a chore through the DLC areas, don't think I finished the LP. Something to add to my list I guess.
