PvP Feedback Balance Mod

A PvP overhaul mod designed to showcase balancing suggestions. After all, the best way to convince people is to try it for themselves.

PvP feedback balance module

🎮 **A comprehensive PvP reform module that allows players to experience balancing suggestions for themselves**

---

✨Mod background

Following Patch 1.10 for Elden's Circle, it's clearer than ever that FromSoftware is listening to player feedback.

A group of PvP enthusiasts have come together to create two YouTube videos full of feedback, offering advice on long-standing issues:

**Part One** Focuses on system issues: Artificial barriers to multiplayer, 4-player limit, missing oaths, no single-player host invasion, lack of PvP incentives, disappointing arenas, lack of quality of life features

**Part 2** focuses on the battle itself: hegemony and toughness damage, dual-wielding weapon damage, automatic attack tracking, attack recovery, crouching attack, hit priority, etc.

This mod comes with part two, giving everyone the chance to try it out for themselves instead of just taking someone else's word for it.
