I got Night Reign along with the wife to play together, as we did a co-op play of ER together (the base game anyhow) thinking this was going to be casual friendly and more like the Dragon Age MP. Combat is not an issue, but the frantic run around and ignore most of the content is completely opposite of the ER experience we liked. And PUGs are all fucking cancer. "Oh I am level 2 lets go to the castle immediately" or dropping out after their fucking story mission. Had one guy drop at the fucking start of a day two boss and so many fucked runs because someone wanders off and dies to the fire getting stuck in a random tunnel.

They need a casual mode with relaxed timers but vastly thinned rewards. ER got the numbers it did through wide appeal. This is just MMO appeal to the top players shit going on right now and a lot of people who came from ER are going to be really disappointed in this.

Yea try the MP mod for ER. NR is definitely a certain type of game that will not appeal to most people looking for the typical fromsoft experience.

You really have to learn the meta and learn how to zoom.

Or be a God gamer and solo every boss with 3x HP and a white weapon like Ambiturner Ambiturner
