Switch to the first new weapon you pick up. Problem solved!

Oh this isnt a bad idea

 

[the black pearl]

People are saying how tough the dlc is at extremely high levels so I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Okay but what about NG, though? I lvl 80, NG.

 

[JudgmentJay]

Wouldn't the badges for it be available in the DLC areas? Then becoming available for purchase from the messengers.

Yeah that's what I'm assuming. It would be cool if they sprinkled a few items here and there in the main game though, especially early on. Wishful thinking.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Okay but what about NG, though? I lvl 80, NG.

Yeah, you're not overleveled.

 

[Dawg]

Beat all bosses now, including optional. That's it for me.

 

[ScribbleD]

So 75-80 is a pretty solid place to start the DLC on NG, or do you over-level and overpower everything if you're at that range?

Edit: See my question was answered a bit earlier.

 

[mickcenary]

You can always make a new character. Took me under two hours to get from the start of the game to slightly past the DLC point.

Yep. I've done the same thing.

I have a blossoming STR build currently sitting at Level 32 and ready for the DLC, but I'm now thinking that my character at Level 110 in NG+ will more comfortably hit that crucial sweet spot of challenging vs. manageable. I want the DLC to kick my ass, but I don't want it to be soured by an insane difficulty level. A level 32 character may just be a recipe for heartache first time through.

I mean, most accounts we've heard make it seem like something you probably don't want to tackle as soon as you can.

As an aside, my preorder confirmation email says it's to unlock at 9:00pm today in Australia, which is just over 7 hours from now. Does that check out?

 

[TitusTroy]

I don't understand the new League covenant...so all it does is replace the ringing of the small resonant bell?...so now if you want to assist someone it automatically searches for a host (if you're a member of the League)?

Can you say whether you liked it or not?

 

[Dawg]

Can you say whether you liked it or not?

I loved Bloodborne (it's still my favourite PS4 game as of now) so it's probably no surprise that I like this expansion. Can't say how muuuuuuch I like it tho. Soon.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

If I enter the DLC in NG+ will the new content be leveled like NG+? I only have one character who is a pretty high level, I'm not very interested in making a new one.

He said he likes that "muuuuuuch".

10/10 confirmed

 

[wiibomb]

question, how much content was added with this DLC compared to the main game? I still have a feel it won't be much

 

[Hypron]

Did they increase how many bullets and vials you can have in store?

I don't remember being able to hoard 600 of each but it's been a while.

Dawg posting cat pictures

Must be the sign of the end times

edit - welp that's what I get for disabling avatars on mobile :l

 

[Persona7]

I don't remember being able to hoard 600 of each but it's been a while.

Yes, they increased it from 99 to 600 each in patch 1.04.

 

[Hypron]

Yes, they increased it from 99 to 600 each in patch 1.04.

That's pretty handy. The vial system is one of my few issues with the game and that improvement makes it a bit less annoying.

 

[fastmower]

It was increased to 600 a couple patches ago.

 

[Orochinagis]

I wonder if there will be more material for upgrades, I am already out for +6-+9

Oh wow, so that's the end of that bridge? The open world level design is better than Dark Souls in a lot of ways.

No.

We know where that door ends. it ends up at the bridge where u fight

Spoiler

Cleric Beast

. Somewhere during development they changed access to cathedral ward from that door to

Spoiler

gascoigne

. TLDR: u can stand on both sides of that door; just not pass through

You actually had to backtrack from Cathedral Ward to unlock that shortcut maybe the Devs figured out it was kinda pointless and sealed it

 

[Melchiah]

So, I take it you can summon the NPCs when you play offline?

 

[Mendrox]

question, how much content was added with this DLC compared to the main game? I still have a feel it won't be much

Without naming these things:

Spoiler

5 Bosses
10 new weapons
New "spells"
New areas
Cutscenes
and more

It has more content than Dark Souls:AotA

 

[silva1991]

Dark Souls:AotA

That's all I needed to know

You can.

 

[Melchiah]

You can.

Good to hear, as I'll be playing the DLC offline as usual.

 

[Molemitts]

Probably a dumb question but if I start a new game now and don't have the DLC till tomorrow I should still have no problem accessing it, right?

God damn I will be in a middle of teaching a lesson... Hmm I guess I can teach the kids about Cthulhu...

 

[Mendrox]

Correct. You could have a character from version 1.0, patch everything, download the DLC unlocker and get straight to the DLC.

 

[cheesekao]

It wont be a problem. You can access the DLC at any time if you meet the requirements.

I thought vanilla saves are incompatible with later versions due to the dupe glitch.

Edit: It looks like it only affects those who used the dupe glitch.

And how the sky and cosmos are one ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

And just in time for the holidays too! A family that slays together stays together!

Eh? That would be something new for me. I mean I play all my characters with the current patch..if they lock you out of it now, then how are people using their characters? I think that is bullshit.

 

[Fhtagn]

Perhaps if the character was made after a certain date it's locked out? Because my first character made at launch still works for sure.

 

[Auctopus]

EU/UK have to buy this on release right? I couldn't find a pre-order on the store.

Thanks! I've been wanting to play Bloodborne again since I first finished it, but have been putting it off until the DLC comes out. Now I get to experience the DLC and my second playthrough!

There's a preorder! You get a nifty dynamic theme too.

It's available for preorder on the web store. I couldn't find it on the store on PS4 either which is weird.

 

[Newtype-001]

It's there,go:
PS Store > Games > Coming Soon

Ittl be the first one there. I pre ordered yesterday, UK BTW.

Pretty sure he's mistaken. I still have my first character from 1.0 and he isn't locked out of anything.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Pretty sure he's mistaken. I still have my first character from 1.0 and he isn't locked out of anything.

Characters that used the dupe glitch were locked out of subsequent versions of the game - happened to one of my friends. But 1.0 characters that didn't dupe are fine.

But I duped in every patch that allowed it and everything works fine for me. o_io

I got an email from sony two days ago with "welcome back to Yharnam" and a link to the webstore, where i could preorder it (germany).

How soon?

40 minutes.

 

[TP-DK]

Where is the new covenant located (The league I think it's called?), and what are the benefits for joining it?

From what I gathered it would be easier to coop while in that covenant, but that seems a bit weird to.
