Elden Ring Nightreign Players Think Its Penalty For Abandoning Matches Is Mostly Fake

I leave Elden Ring Nightreign matches all the time. Sometimes I’m playing with friends and we botch the first Evergaol mini-boss at level 2. Sometimes I’m playing with internet randos and the Recluse runs off to farm crystals without telling anyone and we get wiped multiple times by the Perfumer’s crossbow-wielding glass cannon henchmen. Every time I leave, the game warns me not to. “Don’t do it, don’t you dare do it!” it chides me. These are empty threats. I know because I lob them at my kids all the time. I have yet to see any evidence that I’ve actually been penalized for leaving matches, something I’ve occasionally done multiple times in a row. – Ethan Gach Read More
