Have you ever been so infuriated with a game that you just got rid of it?
People have voiced their pity for xQc, after he abruptly left a Twitch tournament for Elden Ring and spoke ill of its PvP mode.
It is well-known that Elden Ring is not a simple game; it is in fact extremely challenging, which is a signature trait of FromSoftware's works and one of the numerous reasons why it is so sought-after.
Everyone has their limits, though, and some players can end up quitting instantly if they get too frustrated. Just like what Twitch streamer Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel did recently.
Yet, this was due to Elden Ring’s competitive multiplayer, instead of the main game, and happened during a Twitch tournament for Elden Ring.
Though Elden Ring did have an invasion feature at launch, FromSoftware launched more traditional PvP modes through a free update last December.
(Image Source: https://metro.co.uk) As part of the game’s first anniversary, Twitch hosted one of its Twitch Rivals tournaments, which saw a selection of its most renowned streamers, including xQc, form teams and take part in both the PvE and PvP modes.
What was expected to be a fun time seemed to take a negative turn for xQc since, during the concluding day of the event, he suddenly quit the game after passing away during a multiplayer match and then uninstalled the game.
xQc has not provided any comments on what exactly caused his decision, or if he intends to stream Elden Ring again.
Surprisingly, notwithstanding his rage quit moment being featured on the LivestreamFail subreddit, almost all the comments were very understanding and claimed that Elden Ring’s PvP mode was to blame, pointing out how xQc had to endure terrible lag.
‘I can't hold it against him,’ says RE4PER. ‘Elden Ring PvP is actually just broken. I just stick to PvE now, honestly.’
Some think FromSoftware has never made a good competitive mode for its games, with Kr4k4J4Ck stating, ‘The thing that people enjoy is invasions which are very unique and haven’t really been replicated elsewhere. Duelling PvP has always been terrible.’
Have you ever gotten so angry at a game that you just deleted it?
Compassion for xQc has been expressed after he vented his frustration in a Twitch tournament for Elden Ring and denounced its PvP mode.
It's no secret that Elden Ring is a challenging game, which is the reason why it's so popular and is a feature of FromSoftware's work.
At some point, though, people can reach a point where they become so exasperated that they just quit. This is what happened to Twitch streamer, Félix 'xQc' Lengyel, while playing in an Elden Ring tournament hosted by Twitch.
When Elden Ring was first released, it had an invasion feature, but FromSoftware provided a free update in December that included conventional PvP modes.
To commemorate the game's first anniversary, Twitch held a Twitch Rivals tournament with its biggest streamers, including xQc, who were split into teams to compete in the PvE and PvP modes.
Unfortunately, xQc's experience didn't turn out well and he ended up exiting the game after dying during a multiplayer match, then proceeded to uninstall it.
xQc hasn't commented on what exactly caused him to quit in such a way, or whether he will stream Elden Ring again.
Amazingly, despite his outburst being highlighted on the LivestreamFail subreddit, most of the comments showed understanding, mentioning the lag xQc had to endure.
One user, RE4PER, said, "Can't say I blame him. Elden Ring PvP is actually just broken. I just stick to PvE now, honestly."
Kr4k4J4CK also shared that they think FromSoftware has never made a great competitive mode for its games, saying, "The thing that people enjoy is invasions which are very unique and haven't really been replicated elsewhere. Duelling PvP has always been garbage."
