I was never a big fan of DS3s moundmakers with how it worked out mechanically. But MMMM. Thats some tasty art! Great Work!

They should obviously increase the playerlimit to 6 first and then add covenants cus as it stands covenants cant really br as chaotic as it was in ds2 or 3 cus how limited the slots are and most of the time its just pvers holding the slots leaving one red, letting us have options to interect with multiplayer in different ways would definitely make sense plus lore wise theres already a fingerprint invader, they should make it available to the player and give it a different color

My theory is that the player cap got neutered due to perf issues with last gen hardware. I suspect that is what then killed covenants. Or maybe the game simply never had them, though I doubt it.

Heya fellas, the other day I was reminiscing about Dark Souls 3 and Dried Finger Runs. One Key aspect to DF runs working among friends, was the Moundmaker Covenant. In DS3, it worked rather well due to the increase in player count during multiplayer (6-players) and provided a wild card in the typical host/phantom(s) v.s. Invaders since they could attack/be attacked by everyone for their separate covenant agenda.
In Elden Ring, we have no such thing let alone covenants. When the DLC arrives, I hope they revisit this idea as it could certainly add some more spice to multiplayer interactions. Maybe their objective's could be randomized as a summon, and as an invader they could have an incentive to target an invader/cooperater over the host. For an incentive to summon a Frenzied Finger, maybe the host could earn more runes, get more item discovery, or get a special item. Just spitballing. I do hope somehow they increase the player count, and if they implemented wex dust of all things, then maybe it's not such a wild thing to ask for.
Also, this was made in Photoshop by myself in some spare time in between work to represent how it could possibly look like and included some lore. Hope you like it. Any chance you miss Moundmakers or the idea it represented? Would you like to see it return in a possible patch/DLC?
