I think the item descriptions tell plenty story as it is. Should be crazy if they add even MORE, but I doubt it.

Lots of good changes there.
It should have probably been this way from the beginning. The Sunlight covenant should be an easy covenant to enter considering you get the white soapstone and join it in Undead burg/parish in the early areas of the game.
I was excited about the master key being purchasable until I read about Domhnall selling it after he goes to Firelink shrine. The wiki says he goes either when you enter Blighttown or after you beat the Blighttown boss. If it's the latter then that doesn't really help me since the main reason why I wanted it was to take the shortcut into Blighttown in the first place. :|d0c_zaius said:

I don't think the Sunlight reqs were that bad at all. Even if you don't do much multi, you should be there in no time.
And I did lots. Make them earn that shine!

Cool. Good to see that they are listening to some complaints and addressing them.
I noticed that there's nothing in there about game performance/framerate, which everyone knows is piss-poor in some areas of the game (ahem Blight Town). One thing at a time, I suppose (or should I just deal with it and expect that there NEVER will be a patch that addresses this?)

Wow. A lot of these could be game changers all on their own. Pretty exciting.
I'm out of town right now with only access to a 360 so I haven't played my copy in weeks. Not only will I get to come back to a lot of improvements but by that point I'm sure a lot of the math will have been completely worked out for all changes.

Awesome!
GOing to boot it up later to see if my +15 Iaito is any better.

Man, I don't have an issue with this patch... if only this was on day one. But this whole thing pisses me off, first my Future Press guide is now worthless, second is the shit ton of time I invested into my character, he is now useless, all the farming to upgrade gear that is now crap, and stat builds which now needs a total do-over.
Hey From Software how about you patch in a respec option now.

I wish more games would do this.
Pumpkins said:
Possibly. There's inconsistency in terms of what the name of the group of knights Hawkeye Gough led, for one thing, and there's some inconsistency in their verbiage in a few things in reference to
the Dark Soul and the Dark in general
Don't know if they'll be altered or if they're just fixing obvious stuff like the Tiny Being's Ring. Not sure if I'd be happy or sad if they changed them.
cj_iwakura said:
I doubt they will too, but my pride demands I check.
duckroll said:
Yeah, there's fundamentally an animation-cancelling glitch at the heart of the item duplication/infinite spellcasting glitch. If they just fix that then vast swathes of exploits cease to exist in one fell swoop. The Stone Greatsword Aura of Instant Death is just a permutation of the infinite spell glitch.

Dark Souls is a somewhat special case, since the game was released in English(voiceover, anyway). I think From do translations in-house.

Don't think I'll be patching until I hear how bad they nerfed pyro and how much they increased the drops (titanite slab where are you!) Having the master key so late is a pretty useless change as far as I can tell...maybe I'm missing something there? Having every vendor carry arrows makes archers actually somewhat viable now.
Everything else sounds okay, but I'm like, adjusted now ya know?

Pyro is crazy broken. Does way more damage with less cost, and less charge. The only advance to sorcery is safer distance.
If this patch really fixed dex/str scaling then I'll be making a new character in celebration. Also glad they went back to fix translation errors, I hope the fix the loading screen ones too. As cool as it would be, the Homeward miracle is not an offensive spell used by clerics when they're in a pinch

Got done looking through the list...DAMN
FROM are the best developers!

The master key change is for people getting ready to take on ng+ and beyond, I think.WanderingWind said:
And people bitching about pyros have never seen a 50int sorceror smashing everything into the ground in ng+++ with crystals and enchanted weapons flying everywhere. Pyro don't scale.
tokkun said:
I think Pyromancy would be fine if it wasn't boosted by the Sorcery-boosting stuff like Dusk Crown and Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring.
Maxed-out Pyromancy Flame and one or both of those are at the heart of a lot of low-level griefing.

Hey, I'm a Servant of Chaos. I know all about that.

I have a +12 that does more damage with Chaos Fireball than Soul Spear with Izalith Catalyst.

I hope the patch doesn't randomly erase my game because it doesn't like me

I'm still annoyed I picked up the stupid ring that doesn't work as described. And no new pick on NG+.
ixix said:
Yeah I think people don't realize that the difference between a Pyro and a Sorc is that a Sorc MUST level up to do more damage with spells, while a Pyro does not. This means that given a certain amount of grinding, a Pyro can remain at lvl10 or so but end up dealing damage which totally out-classes characters in that level range.

Not more than crystal soulmass, or crystal spear and both of those can be used from a much farther distance.
