The main purpose of the online feature is so that other people can invade your games to gank you. For me that's the epitome of games to avoid.

I think people straight up can't invade you in ER if you aren't either doing multiplayer or used the "I want invaders" item.

Yeah, no. The main point of the multi-player is to get help from allies. It's only if you get that help that anyone can invade your game in Elden Ring

Literally not, how Elden Ring multiplayer works.

  1. You can't invade solo host unless they specifically use an item for it

  2. If you are coop you open yourself up for invasions and since a session has a 4 player limit you're always either in the majority (aka ganking) or on even grounds if you decide to only summon 1 friend and let the invader live long enough for another to show up. If you invade you are pretty much always going to be in a 1v3 situation.
