How much did they nerf Pyro?
tokkun said:
Agree, I mostly used pyro the first time through - fully upgraded with high Intelligence (about 45-50 when I beat it). In NG+ I'm using almost all sorcery with Intellegence at 56, Dragoncrest ring, and Logan's or Crystal catalyst. Bosses are a breeze now even with the higher difficulty, especially with the crystal spells (1000-1500+ damage).
Dresden said:
Yeah, if you think that Pyromancy is a real rival for Sorcery at high levels then you've probably never seen a dedicated Sorcery build in action.
At the high end Sorcery is bananas.
tokkun said:
True. Ideally the scaling adjustments will make stat-boosted weaponry PvP-viable, with Pyromancy serving as a back-up that can be utilized for any build. Pyromancy is way more important to any non-sorcerer in PvP than I think it was ever intended to be at the moment.
And hopefully the lack of the infinite soul glitch will make Pyro-griefing inaccessible to all but the most dedicated when a 15-minute run with the Master Key can't net you infinity souls right out of the starting gate.

Wait, no word on how the game is addressing save editors?
So people can still walk around with level 1 but 99 all stats and ruin PvP?
not cool.

The investment between getting the most out of sorcery and ascending a pyro flame to max aren't that huge. It takes ~300K to ascend a pyro flame to its max level. I'm not sure how much it takes to get your int to 50 but it's a significant investment and those souls could have easily been used to level up.
It's no different from leveling strength or faith up to 50, which more people should start doing with the new patch. Enchanted weapons are great so sorcs aren't missing out on melee. Vit and End don't scale well past 40. So at level 100 or so they're pretty much fully kitted out.toasty_T said:

Aren't the save editors limited to the 360 version? I think these patch notes are PS3-centric since they're in Japanese and only the PS3 version came out in Japan. It's not impossible they're doing something to address it.

You haven't encountered the save editors? It only applies for the 360 version of the game but people literally put their dark souls save on a flash drive, bring it to their computer, and just edit themselves 3 million souls, 99 humanity, level 1, 99 all stats, then bring it back to the xbox, go online and beat the crap out of everyone.
There's no avoiding it. You can be level 1 and someone invading you might be level 1 with 99 all stats, it has ruined the online portion of this game completely.
Plus the editor is in the public domain so practically anyone who wants to cheat can easily do so in about ten minutes; it's seriously making me consider just re-purchasing this game on the ps3 or quit the game altogether.

Ah. I play Dark Souls on PS3. The thing is, Bandai Namco's support of the game in terms of online updates and English communication is basically zero, so no one knows what's usually going on behind the scenes aside from what From Software officially posts on their Japanese site. In Japan the game is only released on the PS3, so From Software does not provide any updates or support on the 360 version on their site.
The situation is pretty annoying.

Giolon said:Damn, I'm really starting to regret purchasing this for Xbox 360. I didn't know the deal with From & Namco's involvement. Fortunately, it's otherwise an extremely competent port (apparent save game hacking non-withstanding).
I want this patch.
What I suggest you can do (and all other 360 players, honestly) is to email Namco, or post on their Facebook/Twitter, etc, and make it known that there are Dark Souls fans on 360, and you don't appreciate being left in the dark like this. Not that I think they will listen, but since you paid for a game, you should stand up and demand to be taken seriously by the publisher. It's worth giving it a shot.

The patch note page listed previously in this topic is down. I'm reading off of GFaqs right now. But so far, the Elite Armor got some nerfs, while the Silver Knight Armor got buffed. A lot of shields got nerfed (Hollow Soldier Shield now has lower stability at max). Antiquated Dress got nerfed into the ground, but that got covered here already. Pyromancy got a nerf (I think at max it's now 230 instead of 280 or something in its attack rating), and Quelaag's Fury Sword got a nerf in fire damage for some reason.
Edit: Reports are saying that the stat scaling has been "fixed" in the sense that Str or Dex goes up to A after upgrading a weapon to a certain point. Don't know if they've fixed things deeper than that.
Kyoufu said:FROM Software only mention SCE's approval of the update for tomorrow.
Doesn't look good for 360 owners.
There is no 360 version in Japan. This is normal. It doesn't mean nothing is being done, it just means Namco Bandai's PR sucks and isn't up to From's high standard in Japan.
