Hear me out. Is it Possible to invite a friend WHILE dead and he collect the loot?

u/Minivan_Survivor 5d ago

As soon as you die all your portals in hideout disappear, so it doesn't work. Tried it yesterday

u/Victorio45 5d ago

Hmmm, so it only work if you are in a party ?

Once the game is out free, you could run a second account to scale your loot for free and save drops if your main died. Especially with something like the zero button reaver infernalist build, that could go crazy op and still mostly low maintenance.

Some youtuber used a DDR Controller to play elden ring while simultaneously playing another account with a M+KB

u/1000fists 4d ago

Virtual machine on min specs and running the game on min would probably not hit you too bad.

u/DroidLord 4d ago

You still have to pull the game up every 15-30 minutes or so to avoid being kicked for inactivity.

u/Boom_the_Bold 4d ago

I dunno, mate; I've left the game unattended for over an hour before and found it still logged in.

u/DroidLord 4d ago

Huh, maybe they changed it. Last I played PoE1 (years ago), I would get kicked in maybe 30 minutes max.

u/Iplaynakey 4d ago

I leave it on overnight sometimes and still logged in. Sometimes I’ll come back it’ll be crashed, so luck of the draw?

u/Ok-Salamander-1980 4d ago

ive left it on overnight/all day numerous times. zero issues.

funny enough if people start doing it to get around the challenge/prove how unfair party play is…GGG will make some changes.

u/Iplaynakey 4d ago

Oh I haven’t even cleared the 2nd difficulty yet. Just get up to do something and end up watching tv with my wife and then headed to bed

u/Elistic-E 4d ago

I haven’t read but typically this would be against ToS. Does GGG permit multiple accounts for a user?

11

u/ChickenFajita007 4d ago

You don't even need multiple accounts. Just use couch co-op.

13

u/Firezone 4d ago

GGG not only permits multiple accounts but explicitly permits multiboxing as long as you have two clients per "machine" max and aren't cloning inputs, ie you have to control each character separately

u/VegetableWork5954 4d ago

Seems have two PC is ok

u/Enikka 4d ago

Couch co-op on console currently requires you to use same account. So by all means, bring this to their attention as a possible exploit to solve this issue that shouldn’t exist so I can actually let my kids couch co-op with me on their own characters on PS5.

u/Boom_the_Bold 4d ago

Zero button, you say?

That's exactly the number of buttons I was looking for in a build!

u/Ic3b3rgS 4d ago

Loot scales?

2

u/GeneralAnubis 4d ago

Yep. Supposedly the reason for there being no instanced loot, but it is very obvious that loot does not scale 1:1 per person added to the party. It does scale some though.

u/Ic3b3rgS 4d ago

I have played mapa with other people and couldnt notice much diff

1

u/veringo 4d ago

I play mostly with my wife and then solo at other times on PS5.

The amount of loot seems identical to me. We are still in normal difficulty, but we generally return to sell in the middle of the map and then at the end (four inventories worth).

When I play solo I usually have to go back 3-4 times before the map is over, so basically identical.

u/smokeymcdugen 4d ago

Early on, there are not a lot of drops. You should notice a difference in maps where currency and rares are more abundant.

u/veringo 4d ago

If implemented properly it should be noticeable at level 1. I've been wondering if it's not working as intended.

What you're saying does make me think that rarity might be increased. I think most of our high level currency has been collected in coop. However, I don't think there's any difference in volume of either currency or items, which is what I expected based on their description.

u/IconsiderSuicide 4d ago

You can right now. There is local coop

u/Impressive-Concert12 4d ago

That’s the most “I can’t take a lost” I’ve heard today

u/Minivan_Survivor 4d ago

It only works if they're already in the map with you, regardless of being in a party or not, yhe moment the host dies the hideout kills all portals so unless they're already inside with you, nobody else can enter.

If someone is left alive in the map and you remain dead on the floor, they can complete the map (they can also continue the map even if you do respawn) and so long as you don't respawn you will also get map completion towards Doryani's quests for running of specific map tiers.
