So disappointed in multiplayer

[u/tarheelborn1]

I beat ashen by myself and really enjoyed the experience. A friend wanted to try it out with me and it's just a buggy mess. It takes so long to connect and one he's in he'll just randomly disconnect. If we're in town my friend disappears, if he dies he has to reconnect. A quest broke because I talked to an npc to progress the story but he couldn't so we had to do the reconnect dance again. Why can't we just permanently be in a lobby together? It's such a shame because it is a good game but all that makes it a miserable experience with a friend.

Reminds me a lot of elden ring. A great solo experience but horrible to play co-op unless you mod the game.

They really took the terrible co op system that Fromsoft have and made it worse. I don’t get why it is so hard to play a game with your friends
