So I have a couple of big concerns with the things I'm seeing.

1. Fromsoft's network connectivity sucks, it's always sucked and they've done nothing to improve it. What happens when people DC? Does it find you another player or is your run fucked?

2. Fromsoft's AI also mostly sucks, esspecially with multiplayer which is why co-op makes Souls games so much easier to get through. So how will that work here? Will they just overwhelm groups with enemies to try and compensate for the stupid AI?

3. Is the map going to be different every run? Or will it be a static map that people will figure out in three days and the game with be repetitive and boring very quickly?

Network test will probably shed some light in a couple days. They also should hopefully allow any combo of human/AI for three player co-op, and not just being limited to an added random if it's only two humans.

This is mainly a chance for someone new at FROM to direct a game on a smaller budget, so it's imperative to have some reservations going in.
