‘Elden Ring Nightreign' Is Already Being Patched To Be Easier
The launch of Elden Ring Nightreign has resulted in all manner of takes about FromSoftware's adventure into a multiplayer-only co-op game. In many ways, it's a lot more punishing than the original Elden Ring and its Souls games, given mechanics like losing levels and tanking entire, lengthy runs on death.
Many may say that's part of the fun, and while that may be true, even FromSoft thinks Nightreign may be pushing the limit a little too much. The developer has announced Patch 1.02, set to be released next week, which will make two changes to make things a little easier, especially for solo players.
The runes thing is self-explanatory, as runs will now be more rewarding. The auto-revive for solo players on Night Lords is to combat the intense difficulties of those fights where a single wrong move can be death. So now it's…two wrong moves. Though Night Lords are hardly the only bosses that pose an extreme challenge for solo players.
Elden Ring Nightreign
It's not a blanket difficulty nerf, which I think most players of the game probably would not want. There are certainly mainly complaints about how hard the game is, but even if it's tougher than other FromSoft titles, I think there's a crowd that wants that.

However, there are other significant additions players are hoping to see other than what's being offered here. FromSoft has actually apologized for the lack of duos in the game, meaning it's impossible to play with just one other friend, and that should be in development for a later update.
The other issues, a lack of in-game comms past pinging and the inability to crossplay with friends, seem harder to overcome and if they were addressed, would take a long time to implement. The lack of comms especially, text or voice, seems bizarre in a wholly co-op game, and results in silent runs with random teammates you have no way to coherently strategize with, and you just have to hope everyone is on the same page.
Despite being multiplayer, Elden Ring Nightreign is not a live game. It will not be pumping out content or seasons or things like that. But it will release fixes, updates and features over time. It's good they're starting off quickly here in just week one.

Greg Gutfeld Says ‘It Took Guts' for Jimmy Fallon to Host Him, Mocks Stephen Colbert – ‘My Uber Driver'
"I went on the show for the same reason I started this show," the "Gutfeld!" host says – "late-night needs more fun" Greg Gutfeld and Co. took a victory lap for the Fox News host's appearance last week on 'The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon,' with the consensus being that not only was it a fun moment – but something late-night culture needs more of. 'I brought fun by the gallon to our pal Jimmy Fallon,' the 'Gutfeld!' [and self-proclaimed king of late night] said on Friday night's monologue. 'It went so well all the way home I could not stop talking about it with my Uber driver [displaying a picture of 'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert.] More from TheWrap Greg Gutfeld Says 'It Took Guts' for Jimmy Fallon to Host Him, Mocks Stephen Colbert – 'My Uber Driver' | Video Bernie Sanders Says Influence of 'Very Wealthy People' Caused Kamala Harris' Defeat in 2024: 'Broken and Corrupt' | Video 'One Piece' Scores Early Season 3 Renewal at Netflix, Ian Stokes Joins Joe Tracz as Co-Showrunner Diddy Lawyer Thinks Rapper Could Align With Trump If Pardoned: 'It Would Not Surprise Me' | Video The canceled-by-May CBS host, criticized after his exit was announced for never having conservative guests, continued to get roasted as Gutfeld boasted. 'But it was nothing like the critics predicted,' Gutfeld said. 'They expected me and Mr. Evil Fox News to attack Jimmy Fallon and they were mad when I did not. But I went on the show for the same reason I started the show. Late-night needs more fun. I was a gracious guest to a nice guy and he expected me to tear into Jimmy? You were as clueless and boring as the Stephen Colbert interviewing Kamala Harris.' Gutfeld applauded Fallon for the invite – and suggested that had Colbert done the same, he, too, might be enjoying a contract extension instead of a pink slip. 'It took guts for Jimmy Fallon to have me on the show, not only because he risked criticism from the left,' Gutfeld said. 'I'm talking about this coincidence. His contract's just been renewed by NBC through 2028. You see that, Colbert? You should have had me on! And there is still time … I will even bring the tissues.' 'Gutfeld!' panelist Tom Shillue gushed about the appearance for being about anything but politics. 'To me, this was great to see and it reminded me that I think you and Fallon have a similar energy and that the model for the late-night host was always kind of detached and, you know, kind of sarcastic and above it all,' Shillue said. 'But both you and Jimmy enjoy yourselves when you're doing the show. Like you have a good time, you were always laughing at your guests, he is always enjoying his guests, so I thought it went great and I was just overjoyed to see it.' Panelist C.J. Pearson noted that it seems like conservatives are 'winning the battle': 'You going on Tonight Show, Sydney Sweeney being on the face of major fashion campaigns and not standing away from it but doubling down. … The more we do that, young people will come to our side and we will keep on winning.'

Mark Zuckerberg expands his $300M Hawaii compound by 1K acres, reports say — why it's triggering frustration with locals
Mark Zuckerberg is doubling down on his massive piece of paradise. The Meta CEO is reportedly expanding his sprawling $300 million compound in Hawaii by an additional 1,000 acres, according to *Wired.* The tech billionaire's aggressive dealmaking spree on the tiny island of Kauai has drawn both support and backlash from the local community. Here's why the moves are so controversial and the lessons it offers for real estate investors. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Robert Kiyosaki warns of a 'Greater Depression' coming to the US — with millions of Americans going poor. But he says these 2 'easy-money' assets will bring in 'great wealth'. How to get in now Reshaping Hawaii Since their arrival in 2014, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan have invested a total of $311 million on the island estate. Some of that money has gone to farming and environmental conservation efforts, spokesperson Brandi Hoffine Barr told Wired, while some has gone to local non-profits and charter schools. Construction on the property has also created many new jobs for locals, according to the New York Post. However, some locals and government officials have also confirmed the presence of multiple burial sites on the estate, as per Wired. Hawaiian regulations require the reporting of such burial sites, but some worry that the nondisclosure agreements signed by workers could complicate that process. For others, this is an early indication of how the presence of one of the world's richest families is influencing the local culture and heritage of a relatively small community. 'If our island has any hope of remaining Hawaii, this kind of activity has got to stop,' Puali'i Rossi, a professor of Native Hawaiian studies at Kauai Community College, told Wired. 'Eventually Hawaii isn't going to look like Hawaii anymore — it's going to be a resort community. Are we really thinking about 100 years from now, what this island is going to look like?' The ongoing saga offers some key lessons for ordinary real estate investors. Stay in the know. Join 200,000+ readers and get the best of Moneywise sent straight to your inbox every week for free. Lessons for investors The backlash to Zuckerberg's aggressive landbanking should raise red flags for regular investors. Whether you're buying thousands of acres of beachfront property or a small farm in Nebraska, the future of the community matters just as much as the value of the land. Before buying property or investing in a real estate investment trust, consider not just the current economic dynamics but also the long-term outlook for the location you're targeting. If the local community is unhappy about the rise of short-term rentals, growing influence of billionaire neighbors, or noise from data centers, for example, these frustrations could turn into new zoning rules or regulations that impact your investment. For instance, Hawaii State Senator Brenton Awa has already responded to public backlash on rising home prices by proposing a potential ban on foreign buyers and corporations, according to ABC News. Meanwhile, the Maui City Council is moving forward with plans to phase out nearly half of the island's short term rentals, according to KITV. This is why gauging local sentiment, understanding culture and heritage and anticipating regulation shifts is an important part of the real estate investment process. You could attend local council meetings, public hearings or talk to local neighborhood association representatives to get early indications of these risks.

Night one of the Bananas in Denver: Fans go wild for the "world's most entertaining baseball game"
The Savannah Bananas brought their trademark, banana-fueled energy to the Mile High City for an unforgettable night of baseball, stunts, and high-flying fun. From fans dressed head to toe in yellow to the infectious sounds of music and cheers, the atmosphere was electric at the sold-out event. "We're here to see the Savannah Bananas, so we are dressed up as bananas," one fan said, as the crowd waved and danced in excitement. The fans weren't the only ones celebrating. For some, Saturday night was a dream come true. "I was like, if it's meant to be, we will be here in our banana costumes. And it was," said Morgan Hill, a longtime fan. Mike Mata, who signed up for the ticket lottery two years ago, was thrilled when he got the call. "We've been wanting to see them for a while," he said. And in true Colorado fashion, even Rockies stars Vinny Castilla and Ubaldo Jimenez joined in on the fun, suiting up for the night. The Bananas delivered as promised, blending baseball with circus stunts, choreographed dances, and comedy. It's a spectacle where the tallest pitcher in the world -- on stilts -- shares the spotlight with players flipping through the air and executing daring moves. "I've seen it on TikTok, and now we get to experience it live," said one fan. The Bananas don't just play baseball; they create an all-out entertainment experience, aiming to leave fans with nothing but smiles. On the field, the motto is clear: If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong. Fans can expect another sold-out crowd Sunday, as the Bananas return for round two in Denver.
