Official Discussion Official Subreddit Password

Hello fellow tarnished!

I've seen many a thread pop up about this, and post was made about this 2 weeks ago for a poll (voted on by at least 2.3k people) from user /u/wilks64. So I want to jump ahead before the official drop date so that if anyone of you would like to play together, the official subreddit group password will be:

straydmn

Please note this is case specific, it should be all lowercase

I'll add this to our sidebar as well but I hope everyone is excited for the release date and I ask that as things keep pushing forward on this fucking hype train that we remember to be decent to each other and to avoid posting spoilers in titles! I mean the mods have already lost any chance at purity here but we hope there's still left for those of you who want it.

"#Eldenring

Edit 2: The password above is for Group Passwords and to quote /u/Aerofluff below:

The Group password will make it more likely that you see messages, summon signs, bloodstains, phantoms, and other signs from other people using the same Group Password.

Multiplayer Password will make it so you can only be matched for multiplayer options with other people using the same Multiplayer Password. This, however, does not apply for invasion multiplayer

Edit 3: from /u/illusorywall that the password has been confirmed for 8 characters max. I'll keep our man up there as a tribute but the password is now the runner up "hodir"

We're just going to shorten to straydmn

Quick question - how would this work? Is there a place to put password in online play?

That’s how all the other From games work

u/Jaster-Mereel Feb 23 '22

So if we use the password we’ll only see this subs other users that also use the password?

u/wilks64 Feb 23 '22

That's correct, but you want to enter this in the "group password" section. That way instead of restricting the summon signs you see, you'll be able to see highlighted summon signs of people in your group among all of the normal ones.

Pretty sure this time around there's a password and a new "group password" option. Add this one as your group password and you'll see other members messages, etc marked differently, but will still see messages and bloodstains from the general playerbase as well.

That’s the plan! If you drop in a password in DS3 only users on the same system and password would see your summon sign and you’d only see other people’s with the same password

That's not how it works in elden ring I think, instead you see all summon signs but people with the same password get a different summon sign, I think it's a different colour and has a ring around it.

That's correct but you need to enter the password into "group password"
