Hey everyone! Once the network test is complete i plan to answer any questions you guys have regarding elden ring. I was debating doing a video or a live stream just for that reason alone, so id love if you leave any questions you have below!

I'm glad Chase is practicing this game right now. It wouldn't be a souls-like if I weren't ground stomped on day 1 by someone more experienced than me in PvP. At this rate I should be able to get the authentic experience on the release day.

"Yooo what's up guys? ChaseTheBro here and welcome back to another Elden Ring video..." It feels surreal to realise that we are going to hear this phrase regularly very soon... Only 3 months left bois

Dude the dragon landing in and attacking during the invasion was so sick. I looooove this so much the fact that there’s open world boss encounters that can happen during invasions. That’s just so hectic and epic.

"Next invasion I'm gonna go in with the parry mindset" Finally.

This is soooo sick! I can’t wait to play this game. Looking forward to some or your new build vids and of course the crazy invasions hahaha.

The miracle not working in water is perfect, i hope there's more environmental interactions with spells etc and it really doesn't need to be "fixed" imo Like imagine you're being destroyed by fire spells so you retreat to a water-logged area, that's awesome

That last fight was like the metaphorical dreg heap, the universe was imploding as you dueled

Man, that dragon breath attack is gonna be soooooo good for crowd control when you have multiple invaders after you. I can just tell that Fromsoft wants this to be a pvp playground for 10 year plus.

Is it just me or does it seem invaders are at a huge disadvantage in this game?

Elden Ring Play test: "Invasions are going to be so long" Elden Ring Release: "Everything is op and broken"

Fighting as an invader seems to discourage direct engagement, it could be more stalking or ambushing oriented since you have the option of just peacing out and coming back later. That could be super obnoxious though, imagine the invader just stalks you as you progress through an area, waiting to hit you with lightning or a bow whenever you start fight enemies. Also 3v1 seems to be somewhat the standard - imagine 3 people just spamming thunderbolt at you. Ain't no way you are surviving that. Just two and you are screwed.

"blues, blues never change...."

It looks so hard for the invader, 90% of the time its 1vs2 or even 3, and now also mobs can kill you

I can't wait for the videos where invaders hide in the environment with their great bows. Really excited to see how the pvp for this game evolves over time.

I definitely hope they make it 1-5 or even 1-6 players instead for multilayer, and have at least two slots allocated for invaders. More so just because coop invasions are just so fun, and I don't want the game to suffer from it not being a thing.

I really like that they changed the overall damage output of weapons in pvp making it last longer.

I think its interesting how the weapon meta changes over time, usually people are using the same ashes of war or shields but little did they know there were more effective weapons in game

Can't wait to see some real heavy strength pvp. I hope that having poise back with strength effecting equip load will beak up the Dex meta.

The game looks amazing but pvp has me worried. Minimal backstabs/guard breaks means reduced crit potential which are valuable in gank spanks. The less overall damage I see people taking is great for duels but invasions were 3v1 exists? It’s easier to just isolate the host and melt him vs ticking him until his friends arrive to stop you. And we don’t know how easy it is for a host to summon again. You could spend 20 minutes to finally get a kill with these low damage numbers just to start all over again because the host can press A to summon once. Oh, and will regen builds be a thing? Healing miracles etc? That’ll prolong fights further

If you invade someone in Fringefolk Hero's Grave, you can go out of bounds and guess what I found, good old mate poison swamp.

Chase already bringing despair to curious adventurers lol

DS3 PvP is back, you just keep running away from opponents, then turn around and hit them a couple of time. Amazing

14:18 Chase singing "Secret Tunnel" made my day!

The Madara Uchiha of ds3 has entered elden ring

The invasions appear to heavily favor the ganks from what I've seen so far. I wonder if this is just because there are relatively few weapons in this early game area? Also, a gank with 3 people casting spells could demolish an invader.

Man, this guy seriously feels like a secret field boss that From put in to troll us

Seeing chase now intemplating jump attacks/weapon arts and Elden Rings Guard breaks is like watching a shonen character gaining a new move. Exciting.

It's been clear to me playing the Network Test, that Str and Int/Faith build will be very strong in Elden Ring. I'm super excited for this game!

You’ve been grinding dark souls for so long my friend, Elden Ring will be your rise to 1m+ subscribers and plenty of souls. 😁 much love

The jumping really add to PvP to make it stand out compared to dark souls among other additions

5:16 “yes cook the blue! cook the blue!” 🤣 blue was very well done

Holy shit! Invading looks so hard in ER. If Chase gets spanked so much, casuls like me dosen't stand a chance.

14:09 That whole elevator moment was so fun, secret tunnel song and parkour is back!

To be fair, all of yur weapons here aren't fully upgraded and they're not scaling as well as they could. Damage-dealing will likely rise a bit faster as you progress in comparison to raw HP.

I think it's a pretty cool dynamic it not working in water.. especially if lore based, the spells affinity repels water or something along those lines so you're always forced to draw the enemy out of water

Hi, Chase! You probably already know that most (if not all of) ds3 glitches made it into elden ring. The people who rediscovered them are reporting this information to Froms. I think fixing of the glitches will be more guaranteed if as big channel as you also tests and reports them.

Something I've noticed is with these new magics and WAs kinda built into everyones playstyle, the average pvp "range" went from meleeing distance to like, homing soulmass distances. The added scale of fights is kind of a neat change. I just hope like others say they make 1v1 situations opt out rather than opt in; I like the risk of a low chance of invasion when out alone rather than nothing

That last guy was trying to use a Dark Souls 3 backstab script and failed so hard XD. This brings me joy.

My boi is formidable. Very funny battles, the elevator one lmao... The last one had some serious dodging skills !

It won't be such a war when everybody is at plus 10 with best rings and spells you will still get melted.. I can't wait i need it bad

I think invasions are going to be better in the main game considering there's very limited resources in this beta. Very limited healing, and you can only upgrade to +3

10:38 OMG! So getting hit after guard broken wont cancel the guard break animation! I love this

Chase the new guard break options are jumping lights, jumping heavies, and standard heavy attacks. They do massive posture damage.

A throwback to the old chase intro, how nice

invaders really need to have all of their flasks. i'm all for invaders being at a disadvantage, but it's just ridiculous in elden ring.

I have a theory: The removed efficacy of reliance on backstabs and guard breaks combined with the inability to invade solo players is the devs' way of encouraging group fights. In other words, they made 1v1s impossible, and they made 1v2s and 1v3s much more difficult all in order to encourage invaders to invade alongside friends, resulting in team fights and hopefully building a larger and more cohesive PvP community. I can see it now: Elden Ring 3v3 tournaments and money matches, clan-seeking sections on forums, discord servers dedicated to team battles. I'm excited.

Can I just point out that we appreciate your channel and what you do a lot? Sick stuff, bruh!

4:10 Reminds me of Red-iron Twinblade, from DS2. Should be fun using this weapon. ...won't be as much fun getting parried when using it tho.

Hey Chase, from I've seen of JeeNiNe's stream, the Determination weapon art deals a lot of stamina damage even compared to the sword uppercuts. A heavier weapon like Lance with this weapon art can instabreak most shields.

Man, looking back on the playtest is wild seeing all these late game items casually in use at Limgrave

the weapons menu is now a popup window 🤩 so you can choose the best weapon for every situation without stress and still dodge in combat

I love most of what I've seen from ER's pvp, 1v1's especially look fucking fantastic. But I can definitely see issues arising, and I hope they change the opt-in invasion system to an opt-out one, to make 1 on 1 fights more common and keep that feeling of surprise for new players. The finger teleport looks super dope, though I'm not sure how to feel about enemies being able to hit you. It makes running through a crowd of them look less dumb, but invaders probably have enough on their hands as is. We'll have to see in the full game though. The damage in the test is probably just a result of Vigor being by far the most worthwhile trait to upgrade, I'm sure with +10 weapons and optimized builds we'll be able to blend just as effectively as in DS3, minus true combos.

It's finally here, Elden Ring PVP!

I can't believe the day has come when I get to see Chasethebro do some Elden Ring invasions. I remember tuning into the game awards (or something) last winter, being disappointed that there was no ER trailer. Now, boys... here we are.

Separation is the best tactic in every souls like game with pvp it’s was really funny to watch you go back and forth with the elevator

The lack of a 2 hit mechanic is definitely exciting to me, feels like fast weapons wont quite break the back of the game like they do in DS3.

I was really looking forward to your thoughts on the PvP system. At first I was really happy about the lack of true combos because I was dreading the return of something like Splitleaf but at least to me it really feels terrible without them after seeing a ton of PvP videos. I'm really not sure how a non-professional invader has any chance against groups unless there is a roaming boss or a group of non-trash mobs nearby. Will you be doing a video discussing your thoughts on the changes they've done to PvP?

Wow so this was bros first Elden ring invasions And it’s so nice seeing how much the game changed

Twinblade is my favorite weapon as an Enchanted Knight! Loved to experiment with different ashes on it. I'm now even more excited after the network test!

Gotta say the no combo part about the PvP is kinda weird for me. I think thats something that made ds3 more grounded, it made it more fair for the invaders, as having a guaranteed 2nd hit really makes a difference. This new PvP style seems more chaotic yet more calculated at the same time.......i dont know what to think of it xD. Also i really do hope they fix the backstabs, ive watched a bunch of PvP vids, and the move is basically nonexistent lol

That armor set looks absolutely stunning! Now I'm hyped to get a PS5 and Elden Ring! Cheers Chase!

U had my laughing when the dragon scared u XD keep up the good work chase!

i didnt think id see elden ring vids for another year or two, this is a nice suprise

Yeah if every invasion is gonna end up being an unbalanced gank fest then I am definitely staying away from the multiplayer in this game.

If I saw chases character invade my world I would just task manager quit the game. Im not dealing with a rolly polly and chasing someone for 10 mins

Chase makes pvp look so easy and effortless. Whenever I get summoned into a pvp duel I’m down in two seconds lol.

I am hype for all of the new viewers you are going to get as well with this release, on top of seeing you clap these kids lol. Much love chase

can't waiiiit to jump into this and lose my life as i always do when a new souls game comes out. all the theory crafting, trying out new things, gettin rekt and awed by current meta's, trying to keep up with everyone and everything is going to be so much fun

So, from what we've seen so far... -No more guaranteed 2-hits. Once you score one hit, your enemy can raise their shield before the second hit. -Blocking is more relevant; blocking even without a shield mitigates much more damage, but you still get guard broken within 2-3 hits. -Running attacks have a longer warm up time, and backstabs are difficult. -Some passive poise exists, including while drinking an 'Estus' -Rolling is still a catch-all against some spells, but certain ones like the Dragon's Breath have to be avoided through other methods.

Johny, Johny, Yes papa? Eating sugar? No papa. Telling lies? No papa. Open your mouth 9:48

Have a feeling magic is gonna be crazy once all spells are out, especially after seeing that boss like dragon attack.

This game looks amazing, but the invasions seem a bit grindey right now.

Finally, no free backstabs. Maybe crits / parries are the new thing now.

I have been waiting a long time to for this Finally get to watch chase PvP in Elden Ring

Seeing shields finally working somewhat properly, and magic seeming more viable, the pvp in this game already looks much better than in all the other from games

“That’s mega annoying with the shield” Spends upwards of 6 minutes back-pedalling in an open world invasion.

After dumping the last few hours into nothing but PvP I’ve come to a few ideas to make invasions more balanced. As a whole there needs to be a 3v2 or a 3v3 allowed in the open world. I’ll lean towards the 3v2 since it looks like a lot of people cry about invasions being a thing still, so this is a fair balance though 3v3 would be absolutely amazing and would make for great fight clubs. And to be honest, it’s a missed opportunity in an open world game. But if they keep it to favor the host then invaders flasks should not be halved when entering the world. And to those that will say “uSe YoUr EnViRoNmEnT” I can counter that smart people won’t follow invaders so this is easily thrown out the window. And yeah we can try and hunt you down while fighting a mini boss but even then, we as invaders can still take the same amount of damage as a host does when encountering one so it’s a true 50/50 of it being worth it. True invaders should be normal color and should not be allowed to harm another true invader. That being said, red summons should be red when summoned and should be summoned where their sign was. True combos need to come back. The game is still very poke and run no matter what weapons you use and when going against 3 people, 2 of which spamming magic while the other bum rushes is overly annoying for any invader to try and get through and having something in our pocket to stagger and hyper armor through some of the stuff being thrown at you is fair for both sides. I think that once you use the finger that allows you to see summon signs should open you up for invasions. You’re already looking for the help, then we should already be looking for the fight. That being said, the tongue should be incentivized to use for invasions and should have an element that resembles the silver serpent ring in DS3, so that means, after killing an invader, you as a host that has cracked the tongue will now be rewarded with a hefty amount of runes. Last but not least I’d like to say one last thing that’s going to be overly controversial but to make things fair for everyone in the game, hosts, summons and invaders, a summoned person should not be more than 20 levels higher than the host with a weapon that goes no higher than +2 of what the host is using, even with passwords. It’s fairly easy to level up in this game and having high leveled summons going unchecked in areas of the game will absolutely destroy the longevity of pvp in this game. Again, invaders are already at a huge disadvantage in this game, more so than any others in the franchise and won’t this to flourish for years to come just like DS3. I know some squishies out there hate pvp but it is an aspect of the game that many people enjoy and it shouldn’t be swept under the rug just to make casuals more comfortable in their play time. I feel like everything I’ve listed is a fair request and could balance multiplayer as a whole.

"oh my god parkour!" that was really fun.

you're gonna get to a million subs once the game fully releases

3 on 1 situations seem to be very common, which is a shame because they are the least interesting fights. Too easy for hosts and phantoms, too frustrating for invaders

What class is this bro sorry if it stupid question keep up the grate content!

Backstabs don't work on alerted enemies anymore. You have to break through their posture first before riposting.

The pvp in this one actually looks sick super fluid and way cooler moves

Need more of this, spending your gank bonk legend chasd!!! also the damage really small....I guess we can upgrade it on next build.

Bro I can’t wait for your channel to start growing again it’s been an honour

I love that you can switch between different weapon abilities like you don't even need any spells to have a ton of flexibility in a fight

Just came to like the video, I'm not watching it as I wanna go through completely blind.. but that armor and sword looks BADASS. I can't wait man.

Really hoping we get some dark souls armor down the line, or at least close references.

Unless there comes a lot of rebalancing I feel like Chase is gonna spend a month or so on Elden Ring PvP, get bored, and just go back to Dark Souls 3 full time.

This is so tense! I'm like clenching my ass so hard it hurts. Awesome!

It is very cool that you can play the Elder ring beta, you are my reference when it comes to playing Dark Souls, I congratulate you for what you have achieved, greetings from Argentina :)

There are definitely some disappointments im seeing in the pvp, that may make DS3 reign supreme in the PVP area. Either or, we’ll be playing this, but clearly no stuns or true combos, little ways to punish, maybe a guard counter? But that seems too simple and boring for me. I did see u found the guard break punish is using that jumping attack. Anyways GG’s and looking forward to new strategies moving forward. But still really disappointed to what happened with fishing tactics. Time to explore the game more.

Well, fromsoft said that PVP would be 'fundamentally different', and its definitely different. Seems a little slower too as far as swinging weapons like greatswords. I have a feeling people arent going to be leaving DS3 pvp as soon as they though either. Crits are a big thing in that game, and elden ring is, from a pvp point of view, more or less wars of attrition. This will take some getting used to.

Chase, this is really valuable footage. I gotta say, this looks INFURIATING. I would have been losing my shit during these invasions if I were you, way to stay strong! The things I notice are that since it's extremely open world setting, it looks really hard to play off the environment which is HUGE for invasions. I'm also worried about people just running for massive distances. Another thing is that the damage seems low and quite forgiving (except when at a numbers odd like you were saying). Only someone at your skill level could have survived that long in that cave invasion. That shit would have tilted me so hard. The game still looks great, but it looked like a complete struggle to pull these invasions off. The last fight was pretty epic, really wanted to see how it was going to end. I have a feeling there's going to be some jumping attack abuse too... But in the end, King Weeb always prevails.

This game looks phenomenal this is the first I’m seeing of it and would love to get some nice jolly cooperation and fight clubs when the game drops

I've noticed 3 changes compared to ds3: too much stamina, poor melee damage and slower combat. But it's not true it has ds1 poise. Poise is the same lie 😂

6:00 no more Bum? that's sad

This game is hyping me up so much, such a beautiful looking game and concept!!!!!! Can't come quicker ☺️

i love that scare bro at 5:05
