This video goes over Fromsoftware's custom network stack and all the issues associated with it that contribute to the general player having a poor experience when engaging in the game's pvp. It then goes into detail on ways that this system could be improved, and how you as a player can adapt to it.

Alot of work went into this video, and i couldn't have done it with the massive amount of support from everyone in the community, most notably Axi, Tremwil, and Amirah.
Thank you for all the time and effort that you put into helping make this video a reality.
