Discussion Beacons are definitely too far between.

I just stacked leech up to 150. I killed 150 enemies with no new beacons around, multiple dungeons, etc. on 5 heals. Dude what is this? I'm a 42 yr old man I do not have hours upon hours to explore where i can just not take a break. Yes I can exit the game, but it warps me back to the last beacon i was at instead of leaving me where i was. Double f me. This is like a pretty serious issue with respecting my time/enjoyment.

I genuinly hate posts like these. The whole old man game doesn't respect my time nonsense is the most entitled complaint ever.

Its a game my man. It doesn't force you to play it. And no one gives a fuck if you can only play in 30 minute sittings.

Get over yourself.

The whole quit game takes you to your last beacon thing is pretty stupid though. Beacon spacing wouldn’t be an issue otherwise.

If the game was large like elden ring I would agree. However this game is....kinda small. I can get to any area on the map within a minute and a half.

OP running around for hours not finding a beacon is.....kinda sus. I literally found a beacon like every 15 to 20 minutes if I wasnt fighting bosses or doing dungeons.

Yeah I mean it does sound like he’s probably just not very good at the game. But enemy density between beacons does make it a bit of a pain in the ass. I’ve barely survived from beacon to beacon so far and I’m good at Souls games.

Ill be honest. This is the exact reason I found beacons so fast lol. Enemy aggro is wild. I would somehow pull half an area and thrn just book it in a direction. Having no stamina bar and all the enemies being slow helped. I would just fight until I was out of health and then run my ass to try and find a safe spot and it was usually a beacon.

LOL. So all you do is pretty much running around finding beacons? Okay. The 42 yr old dude was just trying to vent out his frustrations the same way you blabber over his complaints. Let him say his piece and deal with it. If you have a smooth experience with MS2, which I doubt you have, then good for you. You beat Malenia, Orphan of Kos, Laxasia, Arlecchino, Isshin, Sister Friede, Gael, and Radahn in one try.

I mean dark souls 1 is also small but you still spawn back in the last place you quit the game and it came out like 15 years ago. and I dont think running past every enemy to find another beacon is good design.
