There's some easy leveling routes. This takes about 2-4 hours: 1) Do the boulder farm for the initial 30-40 levels. Requires no killing or gear. 2) Go kill the first two bosses in the first zone (use coop summoning) 3) Do a quest to ge

The games are terrible at difficulty curves. They could make a difficulty ramp with more simple bosses that teach one specific core mechanic at a time, but they don't want to do that. Elden Ring is no different in this regard. The earl

I don't doubt that estimations are useful, but you don't necessarily need to provide an estimation. Why not just say, "I'll need to look into the impact of that change and I can get back to you". What are you gaini

Hopefully lots of folks swing by to say that if they didn't have backups, they should have seen it coming. It's a great example of how you can be made to look bad because of other peoples' decisions.
