Miyazaki bent the knee to the filthy casuals who willingly chose to NOT play the game as intended but instead abide by some BS community ELITISTS standards. Elden Ring is the easiest of the souls' games, hands down! The ONLY people who have complained about how " hard " and " difficult " the game is are those elitists who willingly and willfully chose to go at it " solo " Those people are the ones who are NOT playing the game AS INTENDED! Hence, ALL the Ashen Summons are being buffed. The Ashen Summons are there to mitigate the challenges of the game, and for those who willingly and willfully chose to NOT use them, they have created their own self-induced friction in game. Guess what? THAT'S THEIR FAULT AND THEIR PROBLEM! 99% of these buffs weren't needed and weren't warranted. It's absolutely disheartening that game developers have comprise the development intent to appease whiny people who aren't even good at the game to begin with.
I think you make a good point. I choose not to use summons usually during my first playthrough of a souls game KNOWING that it will make the game much much harder. I mean some of the fights are straight up balanced around having summons. I have always loved that souls games don't have a traditional difficulty setting but instead give you tools and resources to change the difficulty on your own. It's a little more obtuse of a system but one that I think truly makes these games special. I do get upset with how toxic this community has become around the "right" way to play the game. It's a video game. Let people play how they want.
@BonfireBasics Exactly! I've played every Souls game, and like I said, Elden Ring is the easiest. Those who willingly choose to NOT play the game as intended well that's on them. The fact that you have people to include content creators and streamers demonizing others for using certain builds and Ashen Summons is just absolutely heinous. Another thing that makes me sick is those content creators and whiny people in the community who have created this mindset that you can only be level 150-200 for PvP purposes. Seriously what a way to literally put your own hands around your throat and choke your potential and progress in game. That's why " metas " are absolutely garbage.
The Torrent update should have had an additional setting in the menu that you can toggle between "prompt to confirm" or "always use".
Even though I like the changes I totally agree with you. Having more options is always good just in case you want to keep some of the things the same.
