Also, the matchmaking in this game is just straight up broken.
I have never been able to summon a stranger. Not a single time. I have given up on doing it.
I did a chalice dungeon with my brother today. Or I should say, I did the first floor of one with him. It took five minutes from ringing the beckoning/resonant bells to him actually being summoned into my game. We shared the same code, there's no possible reason it should have taken that long.
When we got to the second floor and tried to summon each other again, it just plain didn't work. Neither of us could figure out why. We gave up and stopped.
Online stuff has always been kind of janky in these games, but they took it to a whole nother level of broken here.
Apparently they will have online maintenance times every Wed. for the next few weeks. I hope they address some of these problems cause wasting insight and not being able to co-op is extremely annoying. Hopefully they aren't unaware of these issues.
