Elden Ring players are in search of a new home for PvP

pcgamesn.com:

Elden Ring PvP players are seeking out a possible new location for their duels after growing tired of the RPG game’s most popular hotspot. Player vs player battles have long been a cornerstone of FromSoftware games, and Elden Ring is no exception. With an almost endless array of possible Elden Ring builds to experiment with, there’s no shortage of variety to be found.

While players can engage in PvP just about anywhere across the Lands Between, the community has settled on one particular location as its central hub for their competitions. The main Academy gate at Raya Lucaria is where you will see most player vs player showdowns taking place, and it’s by far the easiest spot to find some action quickly without having to organise a meetup with your potential opponents.

The Raya Lucaria gate is popular for several reasons: it’s relatively easy to reach even on a new character, it has a nice open space that’s mostly flat, and there aren’t any enemies nearby who might be accidentally pulled into the fight and disrupt the fairness of your competition.

However, while it is pretty, it isn’t the most striking location visually by the stunning standards of some of Elden Ring’s other locales. It also has a tendency to rain there, which some players have noted can cause an imbalance because rain will buff the damage of any lightning attacks while nerfing the potency of fire skills.

Aside from those issues, some players are just a little over hanging out in one place the whole time, especially if PvP is their main interest. In a thread on the Elden Ring subreddit, some Elden Ring PvP enthusiasts are contemplating what other locations might make a good secondary spot to take their fight clubs to.
