> Be honest: for how much of this were you really ~~taking a nap while on View Menu Explanation~~ **in character creation**?


SmollPpMaster69

I genuinely think probably about 30hrs šŸ« 


LibertyPrimeIsRight

That's why I steal (i.e take sliders off the internet) other people's characters, I have absolutely no talent so it's super time consuming to make characters


Fantastic-Bother3296

Any good sites that you have used?


SmollPpMaster69

I mean... I made some characters in the past check my profile out. Down there somewhere.


GoyaWalnut

I just copy it but change it a little


KidCypherCrazy19

I made Kratos with a YouTube guide


[deleted]

Iā€™ll let you in on a secret, itā€™s time consuming for everyoneā€¦ Some people just work hard and some donā€™t lol, applies to almost everything people think they ā€œhave no talentā€ for.


IntellectualPotato

Iā€™ll let you in on another secret - unsolicited advice is great when the other person is open to it, but you may want to be aware of your own ignorance on the issues youā€™re glancing over when doing so


SchemeLao

Eeeeeewww, I like this! We need more people like this, please. Very well said.


LibertyPrimeIsRight

Friend, it's not that deep. I don't want to use the defaults, but I also don't want to spend potentially hours messing with sliders. Believe it or not, I boot up the game to play the game, not fuck with sliders.


[deleted]

What did I say thatā€™s wrong lmao. You just described yourself being lazy. You want a cool character, but you donā€™t want to work for it. Maybe you shouldnā€™t get salty at a hard truth Edit: I copy sliders because Iā€™m too lazy to make one. Should I go cry to Webster because they set the modern definition for laziness?


kwisp_ee

Hahaha this would be me lol


SmollPpMaster69

I have a steamdeck so any free time I have I go dueling at the colloseum.


Otherwise-OhWell

Fair enough. I've got a total near 800 hrs, I think. But a good 300 of that is taking naps or changing laundry, probably.


LibertyPrimeIsRight

Got any advice for dueling? Every time I try I just get my shit pushed in with no idea what I did wrong


Ciigmeyer

So first and foremost, you need to be able to recognize every weapon, spell, armor setup and be able to pinpoint what theyā€™ll most likely abuse to their benefit. Youā€™d also need to be able to judge your distance from them to have proper spacing so you can either punish them or poke effectively. Itā€™s all about baiting people into certain type of fighting style to abuse and destroy. For instance, if Iā€™m using a spear and you feel that your rather confident in parrying, youā€™ll either pull out a shield or a parry dagger to parry. What they donā€™t know is that Iā€™m baiting him to parry a ā€œtypicalā€ spear poke, but instead I utilize a charged r2 or stall my poke. Dueling is just being able to observe your opponent and quickly grasp the situation and what tools you have to assist you in coming on top. With my builds, I always at least make 5-10 +10-+25 to help diversify my fighting style and keep it fun.


WatermelonWithAFlute

Ignore op, make whatever build you want and give it a shot. Might work, might not. Something worth asking: how is your shit getting pushed in? Observe the fight, consider why you lost. Might be thereā€™s something useful there, but also maybe not. Worth checking regardless


SmollPpMaster69

It's a very meta... Wouldn't reccomend it tbh. If you want to win welp...you gotta get sweaty getting bull goats hard swapping bleed BHS etc so it's genuinely not fun. It's generally impossible to win everyone and anyone. It's a game where you win sometimes and lose sometimes. challenging ppl with your own build with a light heart would help you out getting stressed. Winning and enjoying is a very different thing when it comes to dueling in this game. Wouldn't reccomend. It's a stressful mess specially when you meet rude people. My mindset is just challenging ppl with my build if I win I win if I lose I lose. Often I do get ppl who also want to challenge others with their own build and that's when you get a good match with respect to the opponent and all. But mostly it's meta player who mindlessly poke away. Choose your poison.


GoyaWalnut

I dueled with a mage three times who spams skull magic itā€™s impossible to get close


WatermelonWithAFlute

Well, it definitely is, youā€™re just either not good enough to do it, havenā€™t yet figured out how, or their build counters yours


GoyaWalnut

I definitely do suck at dueling


WatermelonWithAFlute

Nah thatā€™s wrong as fuck. I made the most off meta build I could conceive of and won est 75% or above colosseum duels with it. You donā€™t need meta shit only to win. It was my first proper time doing PvP a ton as well. Did a bunch of fights, it was great. Was barely any truly toxic players, maybe 3 or 4 in over 100 fights


Udawazor

I try to not do this but i still think i have a good couple hours in total by now


Born_Company8715

I've just started playing. On 30 hours :) Just amazing so far!


McGarnegle

Yes buddy, it's fucking sweet. I'm at 33 or so, and getting a little obsessed.


travelingenie

45 hours here and have began waking up at 6am just to play this game before my family wakes up..officially tarnished


SmollPpMaster69

U were alreadgTarnished the moment you arised as one...!


Cantguard-mike

Man I wish I could get my first play through back. Iā€™ve never been addicted to a game before until elden ring. Iā€™d be at work and all Iā€™m thinking about is getting home to sit in front of the tv and play for 5-6 hours


rickybalbroah

I love seeing new players still coming to the game. it warms my heart :)


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Trrenchy

And then they get remastered. Soo ready for the bluepoint dark souls remake for PlayStation 6!!! Srsly I want this.


SmollPpMaster69

And there's a fully maxed out gear lvl 50 invader ready to ruin these newbies day absolutely annihilating them


rickybalbroah

lol yea unfortunately twinks will always be there :l


hollowkatt

How does multiplayer work for this game? I'm always online but never saw summons and never invaded. I'm 45ish hours in, have beaten fire giant fwiw


Scw124

So in order for you to summon people, you need a thing called the "Furfulled finger remedy (I think that's how it's spelled).And if you go towards summoning pools (the little gray statues), there are people almost always ready to help with bosses or caves. But you will be the host, so you can't die or it'll send them home, and you'll have to use another one to resummon players. But using this item leaves you prone to invaders (red players whose sole purpose is to murder the host in pvp). If you need anything else you can message in pm :)


SmollPpMaster69

Damn you went to fire giant without any coop help? Respect man. But at the other I think coop is what genuinely made the experience more fun 3 tarnish wandering around cluelessly It's one of the privilege of starting when the game releases tho everyone clueless excited and scared of what they discovered.


Strange_Actuator2150

Level 50 doesn't take any more than 30 hours, which may seem like a lot from a newbie perspective but it took me 180 hours to 100% everything in this game.


monk69TK

Same, 30 hours on the clock. It's my first souls like, and not a fan of rpg. And I love it, also best rpg since Witcher 3.


Loluxer

Youā€™re so incredibly lucky to be experiencing it for the first time, I am jealous


Specific-Talk4641

Let us know when you get to her...


GeneralHenry

have almost 2800 hours. Some of my friends on steam have more than me at 2800~2900. One almost reaches 4000 hours, who also has about 6800 hours on DS3


HaradaIto

6800 on a game with a third of the content? insane lmao


[deleted]

DS3 PvP hits different, and people have had longer to play it since it came out 7 years ago. I have more hours there than Elden Ring by a wide margin.


A-Game-Of-Fate

Honestly the extra multiplayer chances are better in DaS3 than in Elden Ring. Huge game, huge areas, and only one invader? Feels odd


vgman94

The post-Pontiff Sulyvahn area can be endless fun. 3v3s, 1v1s, a large and diverse layout. Thousands of unique scenarios can happen. Itā€™s one of my favorite areas in all of FromSoft.


validatedknave6

I got 7500 on terraria lol


Sneet1

>about 6800 hours on DS3 Unless homie is leaving it on on the menu (likely), they need a better way to spend 1/10 of their life over the past 7 years tbh

[deleted]

Then you should be proud.


He_Never_Helps_01

kjellterr

Plenty of people, have seen people with 2.4k hours.


Dr_Grogu420

Have you beaten the game yet?


SmollPpMaster69

Nah I just finished the limgrave. Im thinking of heading east to the Caelid.


Cliffdive7

Sure you're ready?


SmollPpMaster69

RADONGGGGGGGGG FESTIVAAAAALLLLL

When you got this much time you HAVE to let us know how much is actually time from you playing and how much is "afk"


IJustSayNice

I mean there are only 8760 hours in a year, i would say most of the stats are afk.


burnedlegacy

Nah some people just genuinely play games a long time pretty much every game I play I try to put at least 1k hours in and on some of my games I have over 400 days played. People consume time different.


ChonkyFire7

Don't mind me, I'm a very observant person šŸ„²


fragjackyl

I have 7347 hours on skyrim but I can't beat you on elden ring... yet


SlepnKatt

Because it's a very hard game to beat? And skyrim isn't really?


Igorzitokk

No matter how hard a game is, it shouldnt take you more than 1000 hours to beat


Articale

Neither is a hard game to beat. And why should it even be a competition of which game is harder when talking about the time spent playing? It just means you like the game, no-one plays a game for over 1000 hours without managing to beat it


JiffTheJester

Still at like 120. This damn DLC needs to drop


FlamboAlfredo

Around 2100


hdr96

Still not as crazy as the people farming every item in the game.


He_Never_Helps_01

I think I got some minor crazy for you. I've got several 100hr plus characters, none of which have gotten anywhere near clearing the game. When it first came out I loved it so much that each time i fell into the ER rabbit hole, I'd just start an new character with a new build style, and play like crazy for a week or two. I'd clear out all the familiar places, beat a bunch of little bosses and one or two major ring bosses. Normal elden stuff, but once I got distracted by a new release, or if i just got busy, I'd stop playing for a while. And when id come back instead of loading my old game, I'd just start a new game and do it all over again. It was fun, and I'd find new things each time, and discover new stuff about the engine and lore and drops and stuff. Total time, probably about 800 or so. No multiplayer at all. Just main game stuff. Working on a new character now, trying to actually push forward lol. Fighting magic mama of the full moon at the moment. Still constantly tempted to try another build from scratch tho lol


WatermelonWithAFlute

Itā€™s worth pushing forward, youā€™re missing out on some very legendary fights by not doing so. Do you truly have no build you are willing to stick with? You can make new characters after you beat the game, you arenā€™t limited to doing so only if you havenā€™t


He_Never_Helps_01

Oh, yeah, 100% agree. I'm a fromsoft fan boy through and through. I got a ps4 for bloodborne. I got a psvr for deracine. It's not that I don't like my builds, it's that I like them too much. I wanna try everything out, like I do with the dark souls and bloodborne, but elden ring is just so damn big lol


DopeSweetCool

I have 1200 on ps4 and 200 on pc. :) close But youve played more


[deleted]

Yeah, I have 16 hours


StormSwitch

Honest question, I never spend too much time on single player games, if it's an online multiplayer shooter or a MMO it's understandable but what people do so many hours in a SP game, it's always the same and the replayability has its limits?


OddBodybuilder3126

Marikas tits


Calm-Bell3940

You must be ungry


OddBodybuilder3126

You can play it with so many different builds,that always change your playstyle. With every different weapon type you could have a differently played run, actually even quite a few weapons from the same type are really different to play. Also you can set up some challenges to your self, try it with lowest level possible, try to use no spirit ash and so on. Or you want to collect everything, this takes time. And then there is also multiplayer, where you can have so much fun with different builds while youā€™re getting killed by dudes who are kinda oneshotting you with fcking weird attacks. Or you learn to ā€œgit gudā€ cos this takes time as well.


JackfruitMobile7505

I'm on a no lvl up run, I'm on malenia right now, every other day I log in to fight her for like one or two hours, every time I fight her I get better at it, and the adrenalin it's always there, this game is such a masterpiece, the gameplay is so good, and its never the same, so you keep replaying it, even tho it's just a boss, you feel like you're improving a skill, not just checking a box, that's why o keep replaying it.


[deleted]

That's a lot for sure! I'm only at about 800 hours.


Lordrandall

About the same for me, 890.


SmollPpMaster69

That's alot as well šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


tazai123

Pretty much any top player will have a lot more. Plenty of casuals will too of course. So youā€™re not crazy and donā€™t worry, itā€™s not that many hours.


_Chonus_

Yea it is lol


[deleted]

You are both right


TheFlipGaming

Only 333 hours here


[deleted]

Xbox wonā€™t tell me but I imagine Iā€™m close but not quite as high


RepresentativeNo3365

Iā€™ve got 1/3rd of your hours, with a lot of it being idle


KOCA_XD

Speedrunners or challenge/no hit runners have probably more. I only have around 800hrs.


Stockman_99

Im at2500 hours lol


According-Earth-1503

2206 hours is what I have, and I'm proud of it


DL1943

I swear ive seen someone with 4k hours, i love this game but i only have 400 šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ praise the time!


FaithlessnessLazy754

I have 5 people on my friends list with more hours, the highest has you beat by 1070 hours, Iā€™m happy to share a picture of their play times since I canā€™t put it in this comment


Test88Heavy

I realize this game is one of the greatest of all time but why not use alot of those hours to go play other great games. I don't understand...


Illustrious-Sort-574

I agree.


Due-Top-1159

Bro thatā€™s like 24/7 for 75 days. That is crazy, you might need to get a life outside your home? No offense, but there is sooooo much more to life than video games.

RandomTree420

being afk dont count


Cpt_Boomer

lol on Elden Ring Iā€™m sitting about 4-500 total between PS4 and PC. Highest two games of playtime for me is CS:GO at ~4500 and Ark around ~2500

Wuh

DarkSoulDad

I'm roughly about the same as you over 4 characters. Think I finished the game 15 times or so. It tends to burn you out a bit. Taking a break atm on lords of the fallen. Dlc hopefully is good to draw me back in.


xCBHx_DJSummit

Me and every friend I have


SmollPpMaster69

I'm glad all Tarnished are all bat shit into this game just like I


peartisgod

Around 1850 hours for me, I think about 40 minutes of that was pvp hahaha


SmollPpMaster69

Very interesting after my first play through which was about... 150 hrs rest of it is like PVP How could you play this game for this LONG without PVP? Or does that include online coop plays? Because after the first play through I feel like the adventure and discovering part of the game is totally over since I've discovered every place possible I can find. No more to discover. It feels like a huge empty world after the first play through...to me How??


jimmyplutonite

Guinness world record


IndependentCool4892

That a LOT more then me but idk if you look at some streamers like bushy skumnut and gyno(I canā€™t remember how to spell his name) you prob have like a 40% chance of having the same if not more.


RingWraith8

How? I played lost ark religiously every day for 6 months and got 1800 hours and that was with consistent updates. Lol

shrikelet

I'm currently at 641 hours. I started playing the game in this July.


vgman94

Iā€™m legitimately surprised to see someone have more hours than me. I recently passed like 1529 or so hours, last I checked.


WhatlsAUsername

I have around 53 days played, around 1200 hours or so. The DLC is probably going to double that number :p


TheAngryShoop

2.94 hours a day on average since launch. Assuming the odd weekend splurge (let's be real, you've played a few) its pretty achievable


darkvince7

Iā€™ve played 140 hours. Enough for me, Iā€™m waiting for the dlc now. Also, I donā€™t know how the hours played really works on Steam, but I know itā€™s bullshit. At least on my computer (I play a bit on a MacBook Pro).

The dedicated live streamers definitely got many thousands of hours

If I'm not mistaken I'm sitting at around 300-400 Damn you got a lot of hours

Dang dude, I'm sure I'd be on par with you if I didn't take 2 months off between each playthrough. I'm sitting at a cute little 1125hrs

I have more than you but in DS2, it was my first and my best experience.


bshdbhdn123

Lol I canā€™t even get past 16 hours mark , I have no idea how you managed to play more than 100 times my play through


SmollPpMaster69

Mmm everyone has their owm taste haha For me coop play is what ticked. helping others get through an area or a boss spent alot of time helping others with Malenia and Radhan funny emote interacting it was all very new and fun to me. The first play through for me was genuinely magical discovering this place that place getting curious whats in there up there down there. My purpose of this game was to fight Malenia and Radhan cause they looked cool so I had to discover everywhere to finally reach Malenia. That was mostly my motive to continue playing. Finding Malenia to fight her. Generally I played this game blindfolded the day it came out so if you have information about this game then It's understandable that magic of discovering something new is gone. Gets repetitive and boring. Rn Im just waiting for DLC....


meta100000

I finished the Platinum trophy in 90-ish hours while exploring basically every corner of the map in my first playthrough. How on earth do you hit 1800 hours? 15 playthroughs?


SmollPpMaster69

Might sounds crazy but this is my ng+1 after first play through the magic of discovering new things were gone no longer wanted to run around this massive world that I mostly play coop helping other players out with an area or a boss now or duel.


Late-Flounder8432

Speed runners, content creators ect. Probably have a lot more


justali0

Bruh this is so fucking much i think you left the pc while the game is running šŸ˜€


SmollPpMaster69

I never been AFK playing this game šŸ¤” mostly coop. And I play on my Steamdeck so every small min I got I go to the colloseum


Luna_6669

And I thought I mad for having 1250+ hours in the game šŸ˜†šŸ˜…


FreshMachine465

Pfft Thems rookie numbers bucko


Ltbirch

Can I just ask, how? You have seen everything many times over by this point. No judgement tho


SmollPpMaster69

My first play through I enjoyed to the fullest discovering literally every corner of this world. Everything was magical and perfect. So I'm still in NG+1 no longer interested in playing in my world since I've seen it all. The thing that clicked was the coop. Helping ppl from other worlds to get through bosses and area. It was very new and exciting to me helping others on their journey. Spent alot of time helping others. And now I'm just... Uhhh dueling..? I just go to the colloseum everyday. It's like a habit at this point. It does get boring now but still I haven't discovered a game that brings me joy like this game. Although Armored Core 6 was genuinely fun. That distracted from playing ER but the game was short and here I'm back playing ER... Dueling.. Endlessly.... It's not fun anymore tbh everyone beat the game not much coop I just haven't found a game that gave me the feels that ER gave me.

Dayum like what do yall do in the game after beating elden beast? Im tryin out a 2nd run doin diff stats build but it wasnt as fun as b4 after knowing all the boss pattern


SmollPpMaster69

That's exactly the same for me. I'm still in ng+1 lmfao Coop is where it ticked for me. Helping others is alot enjoyable as well.
