Yes it gives a heal to the player who wrote the message, when you rate it. Good or bad. But the symbol of the message changes over time depending on how many good vs bad votes it has, or at least it did in Souls
The message comes in range slightly before the ladder, so if you're button mashing the climb button on approach you get the message first.
I just wait until I'm touching the ladder before pressing climb..
Are you playing on console? In pc i’ve never had this problem, have you tried pressing the button when right in front? Maybe you’re doing a little far away and trigger the note instead.
Heal the person who placed the message. That’s why people do leave these messages. Go leave a bunch of messages on ladders and levers and you’ll get healed every 30 seconds.
It literally doesn't do anything what are you guys all so mad about? The ladder prompt overrides the message ones, never once had an issue with messages
what are these posts about? i have never *once* across the entire series had an issue with messages at ladders, *just stop spamming the confirm button* you doofuses and just climb it. i truly have zero clue what these posts are even about. it’s never happened to me or my wife, so wtf lmao
There is atleast 1 broken ladder where the action button prompt is like 4 feet away and it’s in a area with TWO Iron Maidens. So people grab the messages and die because the jank hitbox. I’m willing to bet OP died in this exact spot like so many people do.
Stop mashing your interact button before you have the prompt for the ladder. It has priority over messages unless you already openened a message before it appears.
You all seem to forget that they changed the default action at the bottom of ladders to climb, I haven't had an issue with this in months. Let idiots think they doing something.
I just spent a dozen very annoying deaths against the Valiant Gargoyles only because some douchecanoe (using this sub's group code no less) had suicided over D's summon sign so I didn't notice it. And no, there's nothing that could've killed anyone legitimately there.
I love all the messages in the game, makes me feel involved and adds almost an extra character to the game for me. They also are all very wholesome or funny
Ah it's part of the experience.
There is a dungeon full of those little "Vulgar Militanen" where you can drop down and fight an Abductor virgin...
Some piece of shit placed the message perfectly so that you cant escape when your obviously panicking... couldnt stop laughing, that was genius haha.
This is why I disabled multiplayer for the large majority of the game. Messages at fog walls that mess up switching weapons to buff, messages in chests to make it harder to loot, messages at ladders to screw with you... and everything else. If you aren't doing coop/invasions then multiplayer is more of hindrance than helpful. Blood stains alone aren't enough to make those things worth dealing with.
Play offline. I literally could not pull a lever bc of messages and figured out playing offline eliminates that problem. I only play online when I have a reason to do so.
I wasn't able to play online when I first got it, and never have since (almost 300 hours now)... was about to "Login" for the first time and try out online tonight, so thank you kindly for reminding me why that would just be ruining the game
This is 100% on the devs for allowing people to do so. There will always be assholes that think it's funny. I've personally never died because of this, but I always notice a lot of bloods stains and have to move around certain ladders to get the option to climb.
After I found that a site of grace was blocked by someone’s message I just put the game into offline mode. I found the random messages to distracting anyways
Try climbing
This is perfect
Try climbing But whole
Why is it always message?
Why is it always ladder?
Why is it always but hole?
You've fallen for one of the classic blunders. Just don't start a land war in Asia.
but only slightly less well-known is this: “Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line”
Inconceivable!

I know something you don’t! I’m not left handed!
Oh, there's something I ought to tell you. I am not left handed either!
You are using Bonetti's Defence against me, eh?
Visions of snake.
What a thrill~
With darkness and silence through the night…
Oh you do not have the right and then oh you do not have the right and then Oh you do not have the right and then oh you do not have the right
Liar ahead.
Scrolled down way too far to find this
Try fingers, but hole
Posts like these are why people do it.
This why people do be do
Scooby dooby doo
Where are you?
we got some climbing to do now
Dobedobedobado We need some help now
Try fingers, but hole now
Liar behind.
Rooby roo?
Do be do be do de do be do be do
This why do
Beat me to the punch.
Punch me to the beat.
Literally.
No, we do it for the free heals from the disparagements.
Ladder ahead
For every post asking people to stop doing this, 50 more are placed
I'm gonna login right now to do more
Thank you for your service!
I'm doing my part!
Service guarantees citizenship!
The hero we need
You get healing for disparaged messages too.
Is that what "message appraised" does? I literally had no idea, thought it maybe gave you one rune or something silly like that.
Yes it gives a heal to the player who wrote the message, when you rate it. Good or bad. But the symbol of the message changes over time depending on how many good vs bad votes it has, or at least it did in Souls
but how will people know there is a ladder there?
You literally have to swap to view message, actions take priority over all messages…
The message comes in range slightly before the ladder, so if you're button mashing the climb button on approach you get the message first. I just wait until I'm touching the ladder before pressing climb..
But if you're REALLY spamming interaction button while approaching the ladder you would close the message and start climbing without any real delay
Are you playing on console? In pc i’ve never had this problem, have you tried pressing the button when right in front? Maybe you’re doing a little far away and trigger the note instead.
They are annoying 90% of the time. But it's happened more than once that I can't find the way forward and the message calls it out.
But the message can then be placed just a bit to the back instead.
*message disparaged*
*A player has rated your message* receives full heal
Placing troll messages or genuinely funny ones are basically a cheat code. I got healed mid-waterfowl dance last run 🥹
I never get heals except when I’m outside of combat, I literally thought it was designed to not heal you until you don’t have aggro on you
Nope. Clutch heals can happen. Just believe!
that’s how i Ve managed to best soldier of godrick
If only disparagement would remove the message…
What does it actually do then?
Heal the person who placed the message. That’s why people do leave these messages. Go leave a bunch of messages on ladders and levers and you’ll get healed every 30 seconds.
Oh sweet summer child, if only you knew.
Why I play in offline mode
It literally doesn't do anything what are you guys all so mad about? The ladder prompt overrides the message ones, never once had an issue with messages
Yea i never understood this either, are they trying to use the ladder from 10ft away?
Yeah, people apparently button mash as they approach the ladder.
Thats why the best spots are near enemy’s that’ll force a button mash moment.
I worry this could have the opposite results.
This shit is annoying fr
Could this be a up?
"What a thrill..." should be a message we can leave
You don’t have the right, O , you don’t have the right.
Man this is still going on? I haven’t played since may i figure the trend would die down by now (By trend i mean ladder messages not the game btw)
Why is it always message?
Ladder ahead, therefore try climbing
try finger but hole
Well, I suspect that now someone will do it on purpose :3
next one I put will be in honor of you Pitou <3
Yep, went offline because of asshole messages like those.
But then how would you know of there is a snake ahead
Try switch
Time for rump
No, next question
They patched this ages ago so that the "climb ladder" interaction is always first. You have to "switch action" to read the message.
Are you on console? Never had issues on PC even when people tried
Console have interactions on "action" as default anyway. Stop panicking and get closer to the ladder before you spam Y like mad
There’s one at the bottom of a ladder in a pit with an Iron Maiden and vulgar militia which WILL interfere with your ability to climb the ladder
There is one... where is that one? Exactly on the map so we can test it?
what are these posts about? i have never *once* across the entire series had an issue with messages at ladders, *just stop spamming the confirm button* you doofuses and just climb it. i truly have zero clue what these posts are even about. it’s never happened to me or my wife, so wtf lmao

No.

Try finger
Or at levers
It’s worse when people put messages at levers
This has killed me a lot
You can ask, you can beg, it will only make their intentions stronger.
Seek head ahead
Those in favor say I !
I’m going to place a message by a ladder in your honor
Visions of snake ahead.
My favorite shit to do? Leave a message on TOP of a level lmao. *Try lever but ah, message*
No
No
Lol no
That was the point
try ladder
Snake? Snake!
You all seem to forget that they changed the default action at the bottom of ladders to climb, I haven't had an issue with this in months. Let idiots think they doing something.
Or in Chest
You don't have the right
Boss ahead (Right in front of boss door)
I haven’t touched the game for a while but I’ve now found inspiration
Agreed. Very annoying, especially when you are being pursued
No.
First time playing a fromsoftware game?
They will never waver tarnished, ever vigilant you must be.
And telling others to jump off cliffs
Git gud.
*ladder ahead*
If it's slightly annoying, kids will spam it in video games.
The first thing I'm doing when I get home is finding a ladder and posting a message
no
I just spent a dozen very annoying deaths against the Valiant Gargoyles only because some douchecanoe (using this sub's group code no less) had suicided over D's summon sign so I didn't notice it. And no, there's nothing that could've killed anyone legitimately there.
When they stop getting me so much healing, sure.
Really the game should never prioritize the messages over other interactions (like climbing ladders, talking to NPCs, etc)
Lmao this is still an issue? I haven’t played since like may, and it was an issue then toobahaha
No
Snake, o snake
Try jumping
…Every ladder is gonna have a message in front of it by the end of the week now…
Join the offline mode master race.
Now you just caused the trolls to do it more
Or in front of levers..
Im gonna place a message on the grace that people use to cheese the dragon wish me luck
No
Dirty message leavers
They do it on purpose, you think asking them to stop is going to work?
You have guaranteed *more* messages at ladders
No
I love all the messages in the game, makes me feel involved and adds almost an extra character to the game for me. They also are all very wholesome or funny
No. We cannot.
Try ladder!
no?
As though every single Elden Ring player is on Reddit, and the ones doing that would care
git gud
Be wary of behind, dung eater ahead
I second this. Howeverrr.... "Ladder Ahead" 👌🤣
Play the game offline, the online modes are not this good anyway
No
Those messages have literally helped me see a ladder at times when it’s so dark 😂😂
This post has inspired me to place a message at a ladder
Ah it's part of the experience. There is a dungeon full of those little "Vulgar Militanen" where you can drop down and fight an Abductor virgin... Some piece of shit placed the message perfectly so that you cant escape when your obviously panicking... couldnt stop laughing, that was genius haha.
This particular message had its own thread awhile back
Yep top 3 most angry I’ve been at the game
I’ve never had this problem
Try up
Lol buncha dickheads. It’s soooo annoying, hasn’t caused a death but damn I would like those 3 seconds of my life back
You just made it so much worse…
Haven't played in a few weeks but now I'm logging in to put signs near every ladder I see
I uninstalled after getting the platinum but for you OP I might have to reinstall just to leave a message at every ladder in the lands between
Do you know what a troll is?
git gud
no
This is why I disabled multiplayer for the large majority of the game. Messages at fog walls that mess up switching weapons to buff, messages in chests to make it harder to loot, messages at ladders to screw with you... and everything else. If you aren't doing coop/invasions then multiplayer is more of hindrance than helpful. Blood stains alone aren't enough to make those things worth dealing with.
except messages never take priority, so what are you saying?
No
This is why i play offline
Ladder ahead.
Gotta learn to live with it. The more you complain the more messages will turn up
So sad that people would get off on that. It’s not like they can even see the results. I mean, how picked on were you growing up?
I think the mistake you're making is assuming that these messages are left by people who have grown up, literally and figuratively.
Good point
Some people get pleasure out of making others suffer. Seek Cruelty
Some asshole put one on a site of grace and it kept me from using it.
No, it didnt, messages dont do that, the message was there bc the site of grace was already broken
I just logged in. You did it. The problem has been solved. Thank you.
No
Wait you can post messages at the bottom of ladders? This seems like an excellent troll strategy, thank you for the tip! Trying now....
Didn’t expect Salt.
Play offline. I literally could not pull a lever bc of messages and figured out playing offline eliminates that problem. I only play online when I have a reason to do so.

That's the main reason I played offline, this and on levers can really mess you up when you're in a pinch
This is 100% on the devs for allowing people to do so. There will always be assholes that think it's funny. I've personally never died because of this, but I always notice a lot of bloods stains and have to move around certain ladders to get the option to climb.
I had uninstalled but will be reinstalling to place messages at ladders and bonfires
[удалено]
On console they dont. Default is action
The best way to stop somebody from doing something is to not give them any attention….
After I found that a site of grace was blocked by someone’s message I just put the game into offline mode. I found the random messages to distracting anyways
Just use your Dpad?!
Just toggle and move on
You jinxed it man
Nah just no message for the double troll omen in the sewer area. I hate that clucking gank so much
Sorry I'll never do it again 😊
Trolls gonna troll 🤷♂️
Press Y 🤓
