After Elden Ring's patch 1.10, it has become more clear than ever that FromSoftware is listening to player feedback.
Several pvp enthusiasts came together to make 2 YouTube videos packed full of feedback on longstanding issues.

Part 1 focuses on system issues: Artificial barriers to multiplayer, 4 player limit, missing covenants, no solo-host invasions, no incentives to pvp, disappointing arena, lack of quality-of-life features
Part 2 focuses on the combat itself: hyper armor and poise damage, power stance damage, auto-tracking of attacks, attack recovery, crouch attacks, hit priority, etc.

This mod accompanies the second part, giving everyone a chance to just try it themselves instead of having to take someone's word for it.
Additionally, the mod offers 5 new maps from DEN MAPS as well as several quality-of-life features so players can get their pvp characters ready in mere minutes and have a nice spot to try out the gameplay changes.
