[Announcement] Dark Souls 2: Seamless Co-op - Time frames

Hi Yui, It is a pleasure to talk to you. My name is Diego, I'm from Brazil, and I'm a huge Dark Souls fan. I've been looking forward to this project for a long time, so first of all, thank you for all the work you've put into it. Since you asked the community to report any issues we encounter, I decided to start documenting the bugs that my friend and I find during our playthrough. Our goal is basically to complete/100% Dark Souls II again while playing through Seamless Co-op. This should also make our playthrough useful for testing, since we intend to explore every area, fight every boss, and encounter practically every enemy type during the run. During approximately our first three hours of gameplay, we encountered the following issues: 1. Player getting stuck when opening doors On a few occasions, when I opened a door while my friend was standing very close to the wall that the door would move toward, his character was pushed by the door and became stuck between the door and the wall. Some collision in this situation would be understandable, but his character remained completely pinned against the wall and was unable to move out normally. To free him, I had to interact with the door again. We encountered this at least twice: - In the initial area of the game where the characters are created. - In Majula. 2. Temporary input delay for the host after using a bonfire We also noticed an issue related to bonfires. My friend is the host of the session. When he uses a bonfire and I use it shortly afterward, once the new area finishes loading for him, the host's controls will sometimes develop a very noticeable input delay. He can press a button and the corresponding action will happen noticeably later. The issue appears to be temporary and usually lasts around 2 to 4 minutes before the controls return to normal. After that period, everything starts responding normally again without us having to restart the session. 3. Emerald Herald duplication in Majula I have to admit, this has probably been the funniest bug we've encountered so far. As we progressed through the game and returned to Majula several times, we noticed that the Emerald Herald started duplicating. At first there was only one additional copy, but it continued happening until we eventually had four Emerald Heralds visible in Majula at the same time. They were standing in different positions around the area simultaneously. We haven't noticed any serious gameplay problems caused by this so far besides the NPC duplication itself, but the duplicates continued appearing as we returned to Majula. These are the issues we've identified during approximately our first three hours of gameplay. At the moment, we are still around the Ruin Sentinels section of the game. If this kind of report is useful to you, I'd be happy to continue documenting our playthrough and send additional reports as we progress through the game. Since we are planning a fairly complete run, we should have the opportunity to test a large portion of the game's areas, enemies, bosses, and interactions. Once again, thank you for your work on Seamless Co-op. We were genuinely excited to finally experience Dark Souls II this way. Greetings from Brazil, Diego

I never thought I'd see the day that Seamless was made for DS2! It's my favourite subjectively, and am so pleasantly surprised that you decided to show it the love it deserves!

Tão perto, tão aguardado, deppois de tanta espera finalmente teremos todos os 3 jogos com co-op. E quando finalmente chega a hora, eu descansarei finalmente, com um universo agradecido com seu enorme favor pra comunidade. ~(￣▽￣)~

I can't wait, thank you so much for this insane work. Asolute GOAT !

No better way to wait than to play some of the Japan-exclusive Yakuza games, wish ya luck on the progress

how do we get this man a ac

I live for ds2

I live in hot and humid SC and bought a Midea U Shaped Window Air Conditioner off Amazon for the heat. Been running constantly for over a month with no issues and my room stays a cool crisp 68 Fahrenheit. I’d recommend it for your hot weather area!

thank youuuu

You're an angel, thank you

good luck in the heat! excited to see more updates!

Don't worry about it, it's ready when it's ready, also, I can relate to heat issue, hope the summer is over soon

Im so excited, even though i dont have anyone to play this with :-(

Hey Yui, amazing work as always! Question: given that we're changing SM to SL, how it'll work in terms of PvP, ranges, balancing etc? I'm concerned that because we're so used to SM, players will not know what SL to be in order to invade or be invaded and enjoy jolly backstabbing :) If ranges are too narrow, it'll be harder to find someone; if it's too wide, it runs the risk of being unbalanced

I'm so excited, I can't wait, Yui 😭

i feel that with the heat and no ac. take your time and dont force yourself too much on this. im excited for the mod but i also wouldnt mind wait till 2027 to play it if that means you can take care of yourself to make this mod awesome^^

GOAT

Today we are one day closer to DS2 seamless co-op being released 🙏🙏🙏

Just one Q will the mod support the sotfs version?

Dumb questions but will the dlcs be included and should we be prepared for bugs that Delete save files or are the bugs more visually or smth?

Yui Eu te amo ♥

ive played all the other seamless coop mods, however never knew ,much about the production. my question is do u have like a discord server or something or basically like a community? how do u take feedback and bug reports and such?

yayyyyyyy

We all wait patiently and eagerly for this, so please do whatever you feel is necessary to have it up to your own standards. The dark souls community loves, cherishes, and supports your efforts whole-heartedly. Seamless has been an amazing way for me to show the series to friends that never enjoyed the invasion and summon systems as much, so thank you again for all that you do. You have become a pillar of this community 💙

Boss

The wait will be worth it, keep up the good work!

Woo-hooo! At least now we have a month established. Hopefully there are no delays!
