Elden Ring Nightreign servers shut down this morning 'to improve expedition matchmaking' but it's royally screwed some unprepared players

It's been a rough week for Elden Ring Nightreign. Not from a player count perspective: it's absolutely flying off the shelves with over 3.5 million copies sold in just five days. But when it comes to performance, Nightreign has not held up to expectations.

Aside from solo runs being nightmarish, one of the most frustrating parts of Nightreign has been its matchmaking. Solo queuing isn't too bad, especially if you just select all the bosses and go from there, but queuing in a duo makes it almost impossible to find a player.
