It sounds like the patch makes humanity a bit easier to come by and I think that may help people phantoming as much as the matchmaking changes. Getting summoned for iron golem is a pain and I think it's at least partly because few people make it to the end of that area alive.

Oh yeah also the patch appears to make drops much more common. While I was testing with no drop ring, something dropped from a burg soldier almost every time I killed 3, which seems like more than before. No crazy humanity either.

Republicans posted:Wasn't pyromancy already weaker than soul magic in 1.03? Yes and no. The maximum damage output of magic is higher, but you don't have to invest any stats to be a good pyromancer.

Getting summoned for iron golem is a pain and I think it's at least partly because few people make it to the end of that area alive. Thank god for the people who do this, though. My DEX build was having lots of trouble with it (iron golem & bosses in general that is). Damage output is becoming more and more of a problem now that I've finished Andor Londo. I like how the tough bosses encourage online play more than DeS, possibly. It does make my fast build difficult against them. I can get through the areas easy enough, it's just the bosses that destroy me. My backstabs and parries!

Ugh, I need to turn in my Dark Souls card. Yesterday I lost about 150,000 souls and 10 humanity. I made about 15 Blue stone invasions and got killed in all of them. Today I managed to gently caress up the Snuggly glitch after only getting about 9 Dragon Scales. All I want is to check the covenant goodies off my list, but I can't seem to get any more Souvenirs of Reprisal or Dragon Scales!

Lotish posted:Also, how do you safely get down to the titanite demons in Sen's? Do you know the tunnel that has the giant boulder that rolls down multiple flights of stairs and has a wooden catwalk suspended above them with a lightning-throwing cobra-man wizard? Jump off the upper stairs onto the catwalk. One one end of the catwalk is a broken wall you can jump down. This leads to the Slumbering Dragon Ring. From there, you can make a number of tiny jumps to directly above one of the Titanite Demons. Have some sort of ranged weapon to kill before you get down. Once it's dead there are a couple of Soul items lying around, and you can walk out into the larger parts of the tar pit with the other demons.

Are the two versions able to play multiplayer with each other right now, even though so much about the game is different now for the Japanese version? The mind boggles. My Hong Kong version isn't updated. Waiting with bated breath.

It's just a loving joke when you get to the part when they all gang up on you. I remember being able to lure them out last time but its not working at all. Gah this is frustrating. To top ot all off you need a loving item to fight them. So annoying. I am mostly dying to bad camera angles+lock on=falling.

I think armor damage resistance has been changed in some cases too. Hopefully we'll get some kind of comprehensive list of updates so I can update my book or at least print it out. It's nice having the hard copy available when playing because I don't have a computer in my living room.

I'm interested to see if my Black Knight Sword +5 will get much more out of my 50 strength once the patch hits. If not I can at least buy a bunch of Twinkling Titanite to upgrade the BK Greataxe which has better strength scaling.

Brett on his stream just invaded with the fog ring on and the other guy was definitely targeting him. People are saying they made it half the normal lock on range or something, but I don't know if that specifically has been confirmed.

It would make sense to have a shorter lock-on range, like with nighttime Anor Londo (or is that just me? It seems like the lock-on range was really short when I was dueling people there. Dueling them poorly and dying. Since they're usually around level 100 and I'm level 38.)

I know what to do it's just such a stupid part especially on NG+ (only because you will likely be really over leveled the first time). It's by far my new least favorite part in the game beating out the lava dinosaur lake. Must have tried 10 times now. No bonfire, enemies that go through walls and floors, ledges, transient curse doesn't stack so it can just run out mid battle and gently caress you over. Bullshit.

Just buy a shitload of Homeward Bones from the sewer vendor lady, warp to Chamber of the Princess from Firelink Shrine, activate Twilight Anor Londo by attacking Gwynevre if you haven't yet, and farm those two humanoid dudes for 10k souls a pop. The Twinkling Titanite vendor is right next door!

More patch stuff: Our WikiDot friends have been keeping track of some of the data mined patch changes. So far we have this: Dark Souls WikiDot posted:Ongoing Datamines. More to come, but so far it's looking pretty good. The changes to the Hollow Shield, Iron Flesh and the rest are a bit of a bummer, but higher scaling for weapons (ESPECIALLY uniques) and more are very welcome.
