No. :Edit: pic related; from my NG playthrough, and the only canon ending of the game for me.

The new patch pvpwise is pretty legit.
My thoughts.
Pvp damage has been nerfed across the board. Sure while invading you can't turn everything into a one shot build but in the upside those max level summons don't generally wreck you in one hit.
Yes THEY are a bit harder to kill but just treat them like DS3.
Play passive, annoy and eventually they do something stupid.
Also with the recent buff to Endure......casting rejection (force for us DS people) is also back in the tableware it comes to separating host from his phantoms.
 
I hope that the effective timing of the DLC is right after Leyndell in terms of when you go to it. I started up a second playthrough after finally finishing up the souls games a ways back, and Elden Ring's early content remains pretty enjoyable - but the moment I beat Morgott, I lost all interest from knowing what's left to come.
 
Going to be starting a new run after beating the game a week and a half after release & dropping it then because playing for 8-10 hours a day is a quick way to burn yourself out.

Any build suggestions?

My original build was a dex-faith build which I later shifted to arcane-faith(Yes, I used rivers of blood, in fairness I got it before it was decreed as meta & I don't do PVP).
I love arcane but hate that you have to rely pretty much solely on bleed as it's the only status that's got any sort of serious support with weaponry and such.
 
You really can't go wrong with anything at fextralife (and bonus you don't have to watch a youtube to get what the build is going for).

I did a Block Counter build that was pretty fun (Templar) along with the Dex/Magic ones like the Frost Knight and Moonviel Samurai since Unsheathe is pretty fun to use.
 
Has there been any news about future DLC or still nothing?
 
I played this game more than a dozen times and my favorite chars were:

- Pure sorcery build.
- Faith build but focusing in melee. I only used incantations for buffs. But the start of the game is pretty bad for that, I recommend to respec your character midway through in the game.

On the last update dataminers found a lot of new hairs that some speculate is going to be used for the new NPCs, That's literally it.

I always thought it was weird that you get a better "Spellblade" type character by doing Str/Faith or Dex/Faith. Doing the Faith route gets you Bloodflame Blade, Blackflame Blade, Electrify Armament, and Poision Armament. Going Magic/Dex just gets Scholar and Cold Armaments but I guess that is offset with the Slicer type spells.

Don't forget Golden Vow and Flame Grant Me Strength.

There was also a bunch of flags for NPC's and bosses added, which isn't much, but it's something.

Went through with a parry build most recently. Buckler and Misericorde, if it could be parried you'd get the parry off or die. Carian Knight is also a fun one. Glintblade stuff with a sword and shield, use all the sword sorceries. Fun stuff, especially once you get Lorettas Bow. Ended up taking that build to 70 int for the full moons. Can get away with some stupid shit. Fullmoon, Free FP/Sorc Up flask, Azurs Comet. Thing's melt.

I respecced at one point to dex/int with carian grandeur as my main spell. I was expecting to melt everything but it didn't really play out that way. Faith still seems stronger to me.
 
Idk where to go anymore in Elden Ring. I beat Rykard, went to that tower by accident and powered up his Great Rune. Then realized I hadn't powered up Radahn's rune either, so I climbed that tower in Caelid and did so, even though I'm still using Godrick's rune and have been since I got it. It's too good not to use. I think I'm supposed to go to Leyndell now, which I have explored a little bit already, but I have no idea where exactly I should go. I feel like I'm stuck, which I've felt for most of the game but kind of managed to stumble my way through it.
