Wonder if it fixes that weird sound bug in Old Yarnham. Also that bug I kept experiencing in the Chalice Dungeons where my character would become immobilised. Still persists in NG+.

 

[OmegaTreeFish]

How is it useless now? if you want to be able to have two shots available you can either make some blood bullets or equip a rune that increases the QS bullets that you can carry.

It's 33% worse as you can now only fire it twice Max. Before you could get three.

However I wouldn't say its useless. Specced right,2 shots can make it a good boss finisher still.

Well you could get 4 shots without runes before and now it's only 2. That's a heavy nerf.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

Some balance changes

Cannon: consumes 12 QS instead of 10

Old Hunter Bone: consumes 5 QS instead of 6

Choir Bell: requires 15 arcane instead of 20, 8 QS instead of 10.

Hell no to the first two. No opinion about third one.

When I thought I had seen everything, I see spoiler tagged load times.

I think the intent was to not spoil every location in the game lol

 

[Lemondish]

Ugh, I wish they were able to fix the rest mode issue in a way that didn't essentially turn off suspend/resume. That's actually really disappointing.

It's the patch that fixes load times, but also adds load times lol

They're spoiler tagged not to spoil area names in the game

Only thing they could have done is to make a "true" supsend/resume for offline play and keep the "jump to main menue" for online.

If you're referring to my post, i wrote in my post that i did it to not spoil later in-game locations:

I put spoilers since it mention many location later in the game.

The loading times arent a secret of course hehe It was much easier to just use two spoiler tags on everything instead of using like 34 spoiler tags to just hide the locations.

Indeed =)

server maintanance should be over.. so who will test if they made the summon another player thing better?

I just tried using the cannon for the first time now and had to check if it always used 12 bullets. Bugger.

 

[OSHAN]

Fuuuck my cannon. Blargh.

It takes me less than 9 seconds to load Hunter's Dream, I'm very impressed.

Coming back from Dark Souls II on PS4, wow Bloodborne looks just gorgeous.

 

[test_account]

You have to be joking. That canon change made the gun completely useless now.

You can always use the

rune that gives you 4 extra bullets to carry.

Then theres also the emergency bullet mechanic as well.

Wow , time to continue my NG+ . Props From , this is quick .

So when speedrunners go out of bounds and come in on an immobilized shadows of yarnham, is that now fixed?

 

[Audioboxer]

To be fair everyone should be happy the damage of the canon wasn't nerfed!

The maintenance interrupted my second to last boss and I beat it minutes before the update

And I don't want to play it again

Shit. I don't feel so about missing in my first run now. I rely too heavily on parry/riposte to waste resources like that.

According to Reddit that's fixed as well, just like the Father Gascoigne visceral attack glitch.

 

[bombshell]

quick test:

Cathedral Ward -> Hunters Dream: ~10 seconds
Hunters Dream -> Cathedral Ward: ~30 seconds
Dying at Cathedral Ward: ~15 seconds

Yay, this is a good improvement

 

[nib95]

The Canon change is absolute bullshit. Now it's basically a useless 1 shot weapon where you're forced to use blood bullets, which isn't exactly always ideal. It now has the handicap of wasted time in using blood bullets, followed by having to waste and use a blood vial (taking up even more time), to only then firing the damn thing for a second time. What utter stupidity. For a weapon that doesn't even do much more damage than a maxed out gem'd up Ludwig. It's not as if there's a guarantee your shot will even land. Not to mention without a Rune, it now fires only two shots instead of 4. It's essentially half as effective.

Whoever green lit this change is an idiot.

Looks like it. I've made a bunch of new characters to jump the fence and open the gate before the patch, now I can't even make the jump on to the fence.

 

[Soriku]

Anyone test Chalice Dungeons? In 1.02, warping to a CD took a long time, but respawning after death was really fast.

 

[bombshell]

Not really. You have to load the game up again. It's the same as just quitting a game and closing the application in terms of time.

Not quite. You'll be skipping the splash screens because you'll already be at the game main menu, saving ~30 seconds.

 

[cslesce]

bravo

That sucks. That sequence break was one of the few things breaking up the game's linear progression.

 

[Captcha]

I think they nerfed the shit out of the Choir Bell heal . Heals for less than a vial now.

 

[GoonerTRON]

Thank god for the loading screens, I was starting to see some screen borne. (I die alot...)

What is "framepacing" and how is it a problem that needs to be fixed ?

I was planning in making an alt do it for fun, but oh well.

Disagree. The only difference now is you have to beat Father G and Vicar Amelia before you can get to the Shaded Woods.

 

[Servbot24]

I have no idea. Only thing I can think of is that there's sometimes a hiccup when you cross over into a new area. But for the main parts of the game it has a very steady frame rate.

Did a quick test of SSD load times...

Hunter's Dream loading stayed roughly the same @ ~9s.

Central Yharnam loading went from 29 to 25s.

Death @ Central Yharnam loading went from 32s to 14s.

Cathedral Ward loading went from 32s to 28s.

Great Bridge loading went from 26s to 23s.

Death @ Great Bridge went from 29s to 14s.

Seems like they drastically improved death loading times and shaved a few seconds off loading times when you first load into an area.

Good. Death loading times were the worst... considering you can die a lot.

There was a note up on the wall, so either that note was there pre-patch or they made it more difficult to make the jump. I only tested it for 10 minutes and couldn't get up there.

I never had any problems.

I was expecting to see notes regarding the framerate issues. Ah well, a patch is a patch. A shame it took so long as I'm done with it.

Even in a dream.

after using the glitch, and i think he said that he couldnt continue after that. Although i never followed up on that conversation though, so maybe he found a way to progress regardless.

Nice, haven't had time yet to dive in.

 

[Cleve]

The load times are massively improved.

I hope with the success of BB sony will be providing some technical support for From games in the future. I love From's design choices, but from a technical standpoint they are really could use the help.

and haven't noticed any problems at all. This was post-patch, but on a character that did the skip and echo glitch pre-patch.

Thank the maker, thank the blood Goddess too.
