I tried invasions on a lark today and there was a wild amount of people online today. Just endless invasion matches with little-to-no pause between. Is there a community event going on today? I’ve never seen a non-standard server more active than From’s official, I tried both.
If anyone would be interested, I’m considering doing a “census” of the types of multiplayer experiences you can have at peak network activity on Seamless. I would record things like:
- Time spent waiting for connection
- Amount of players who are playing for the first time
- Amount of players who are using dropped gear (possibly, this might not be relevant to anything)
- Amount of players who are conducting duels or “fight clubs”
- Amount of players willing to exploit Seamless’ lack of anti cheat
- Amount of players who would deeply prefer not to get invaded (instant-suicide, dc, or immediately go afk. On Seamless this would indicate people unfamiliar with the settings)
The reason I am thinking about doing this is because in addition to high player counts, Seamless has unexpected quantities of these compared to regular From Soft severs. I thought the details might prompt more people to try Seamless Co-op or invasions. Let me know if you think any of this would be interesting to record or if you have another statistic you’d be interested in seeing


I’m decent with numbers generally and have an education in mechanical engineering, but I’ve not studied statistics outside of rudimentary stuff in service of that engineering. I can indeed do a proof-read if I’m the best option available, though!
hell yeah. I’ll send a rough draft when I’ve got it written up.
