The Game Got Easier

What had once followed a more linear structure had become an Open World, and its content could be called the richest in Soulslike games to date.

While Elden Ring mercilessly crushed countless players, more and more players gradually uncovered even more of the game's content.

Thanks to its Open World elements, some clever players quickly figured out what they needed to do in the game to make things easier for themselves.

On Shark TV, A Shu was among the first streamers to broadcast Elden Ring.

But unlike the technical masters who had already slaughtered their way through the game and reached places like Sky City and the snowfields—

As someone with terrible hands, he had only just reached the Volcano Manor area.

Just like a line from Windranger, one of his favorite DOTA heroes: "I am the bane of players with terrible hands."

Soulslike games were the bane of noobs like him.

Although he had followed online guides to obtain the early game mage artifacts—the Meteor Staff with S-Tier Intelligence scaling, along with its dedicated spell, Rock Sling—

Compared to his previous life, Chen Xu had still made some numerical balance adjustments in Elden Ring.

The bug that let Rock Sling cheese through Fog Gates had vanished, and the aggro and AI mechanics for summoned Ashes had also been balanced. Mages were indeed much easier to play, but players still needed at least a little skill.

So naturally, as someone born unsuited for Soulslike games, A Shu had once considered giving them up.

But today was completely different.

The moment his stream began, viewers who had caught wind of it flooded the chat with comments.

'Brother Shu is here! Brother Shu is here! Everyone, start ordering takeout!'

'Brother Shu is here! Brother Shu is dead!'

'Can't wait. The Full Moon
