if you want to unistall the patch you can, but you won't beable to play you would have to delete all your characters and start over if you want tot glitch
@humanpopsicle you save your character on a flash drive then copy on computer, reminder you need 2 ppl to do this, you give that person all hour item then come back with your backup save, then the person you gave your items too gives them back which now you have double your items :) keep repeating process till heart content.
Meh. I know it's hard to defend what's honestly cheating, but the infinite item glitch had its uses. I don't even PvP, the only "harm" that others were complaining about, so I've done nothing wrong to any of you. But for MYSELF, not having to grind the souls was a god sent. Grinding takes no skill, just time. I don't know about the rest of you, but the duping saves me the tedium of going thru the same grind on every new character. From 0-60 in 10 minutes, so to speak. Not updating.
@JapanForSale sure grindind takes little skill, but it also nets very few souls. What takes skill is playing through those areas without a glitch. The biggest problem is that things like the glitch and Ring of Fog gave some players an "extreme" advantage, and that maters for an online game. The problem isn't from a guy like you who doesn't PvP. it's from all the guys who do. I don't PvP much but when I do I don't want to have to battle against guys who have bugged characters.
@koromaseraph Yer ofc ! it's not like there is a speed-run on youtube beating Dark souls on a hour by ONLY putting souls in Pyromancy and HP.... nerf was needed.
I will probably stop playing because of A) due to whiners, baddies and complainers i now have virtually no multi-player content as a 439 char, thanks guys!
B) duped chars, i spent 10 days, literally 240+ hours, getting my char where he is, then i find out you can do that.
C) Twaps range decrease, its duration at 45s was to long, 10s would be fine, but is much to short for the 75% less aoe size. Now all the pvp i do get is people running and hiding in npcs for hours once they are losing....
@wrexayl To the rest of you players. , lvl 20s with 6 casts of wrath of the gods, with + 10 lightning weapons to boot, not to mention being on NG+/NG++ all because of duping, ( you can spend souls on a lot more than levels)
i have been indicted 9 times, but have killed 439 levels worth of invading phantoms, book of the guilty is not a viable pvp highscores, sometimes you kill them and they don't indict you, and currently no record of phantoms killed, LAME STUFF
@wrexayl i agree with a lot of what you said; this patch ruined this game for me.
However, TWoP was complete bs, it needed to be nerfed hard. I was so sick of people using that wheel skeleton shield with TWoP. That being said, i think that you right about the range, giving victims the ability to roll and move slightly faster was enough, it's a pretty useless spell now.
@Larry198s So because you can't exploit a glitch to make an intentionally unforgiving game easy, you will just stop playing entirely? I'm happy to see exploiters like yourself leave the game for good.
I wish the glitch that would work for reloading save be at that point you die at, I lost 22000 souls and lost it because I couldnt reload at that point I died at, I was all the way too crystal cave and try too beat the boss died and went back too danm bomfire I had too give up and mybe goto xbox version and now I finally going too quite the game for good, dont like this game anymore,
Another change I've found is various messages left by the game showing which way to go on the invisible bridge in Crystal Cave and I see another one in The Catacombs. Or maybe they were there before.
@MaliceBloodlus - they did not balance PVP, they just got rid of things that people who were bad complained about too much, some nerfs are good, most are bad.
twap- i was an avid user of this, its duration needed to be nerfed, but not the range.
now this spell is useless unless you are standing on the guy invading you , its cast time is too long and its range/ duration to short for it to be used at a distance, either it will run out before you get there, or get stabbed in the back
@wrexayl RoF - I use sunlight spear for pvp, if i can hit a guy who has RoF on and i don't get a lock then you shut up and stop whining.
Greater magic shield - THANK GOD, this spell was so overpowered. It reduced every fight into, wait 60 seconds, then try and hit him before you cant for another 60 seconds. I will say, to anyone who ever used this spell for pvp, if you ever lost a fight with this spell, stop pvping right now...
And finally, as someone who actually poured massive amounts of time into the game for an amazing char, rather than just use that stupid exploit, ( if your not going to apply skill to something, or put your all into it, why ever do it at all? ) as a player who doesn't suck, killing dupers is a matter of skill, they have none.
Cat and darkmoon blade covenant level scaling?
Vengeance and bandits don't give a shit about that, when have they ever? Should have just made more invade..
@wrexayl IMO, the games ruined for pve, i bet i could do it in 10 hours rather than 20 this time, btw, CRS/IRON SKIN combo for bosses was also for people who lacked a certian skill.
The times i do get a fight, because of the twap nerf, they just run away and hide when i hit them instead of when i cast my spell, the twap range decrease means more people can run like little girls..
Now due to duped pure pvp chars at lvl 15-50 and them not having to fight higher levels, low level pvp is broken...
@gMemo92 the one glitch I liked was when you die you can quit the game right way and reloading it and be at that same point because I was in crystal cave trying beat the boss and I died and went back too danm bomfire, plus I had 22000 souls,
Only thing i was unhappy about was iron flesh nerf... it's gotta be practically useless now. I mean it's not that great a skill to begin with but it got you through some tight situations, no?
Really pisses me off what they did to the crystal ring shield, it was a big part of my build and now it's worthless, pretty much the only good thing about this patch is being able to buy twinkling titanite, still doesn't make up for it though
Congratulations to EU/US for finally getting the patch. It will be great to hear what changes I might have overlooked! Is this version also called 1.05?
i was fine before my game was patched now im pissed, for one i dont glitch to build insanely unbeatable pvp character. i have a great dragon sword at 520 something attk power and im still having a hard time with the three kings. So a big F-U to all the people who complained about the glitching.
Patch was just released in the west about an hour ago! I've noticed it also fixed some of the engrish too, such as "you recovered" being replaced with "retrieval" after recovering lost souls and humanity.
ooh how I hope they buff the chaos blade wow that shit is terrible, takes away health with every swing you land and does shit damage barely stacks with humanity. and b scales with agility.
Anyway, I hope they do something about faith builds. With 50 faith +firstborn ring my great lightning bolt takes forever to throw and it only does 390 damage?!!?
Lord.....take that patch and shove it up your asses if it doesn't change THAT bullshit.
When will this patch be out in the US. Really Namco. You should have made sure the game was fixed before you released it in the US. So much soul glitching , ring of fog pvp. Its horrible . Why do i have to invade a level 500 with ring of fog ? Man that shit is broken. Can't wait for the patch release (hope they delete the soul glitched characters)
Meh, the RoF garbage wasn't really too big an issue for me as a melee character. However, that Greater Magic Shield fix is the one I'm looking forward to most... I mean, god damn. You hit the person AS THEIR IN THE CASTING ANIMATION to interrupt it, and it still goes off since it's activated as soon as they hit the button. Total shit. Also TWoP + Lightning damage scaling is due for a fix, so I'm glad they fixed that. COME OUT IN THE WEST ALREADY PLZ
I knew I shouldn't have upgraded my antiquated skirt, and yet I did it anyway. The defense to weight ratio was too good to ignore (obviously, since they are patching it).
Does the increased drop rate of certain items address any issues with the Channeler's Trident or Titanite Demon Catch Pole? I haven't heard that it does but I hope so. There's only 5(?) Channelers in the game and only 3 of them respawn. And only 1 Demon respawns. I've been farming countless hours for these...
It looks to me that with Gold Hemmed downgraded, Lord Gwyn's armor MIGHT have some use now as the definitive light armor. but I'm not 100% on that yet.
Thinking of farming blue slabs, will crystal cave butterflies drop their loot automatically like lizards? and apart from TWoP´s duration, will patch allow rolling (equipped with ring) inside the gravity area?
@arrowmanmike its not just that tho. the gameplay mechanics are set up entirely around the ability to lock-on. u cant back up/ side-step without it. regardless of how good you are the fog ring is a huge advantage. ppl should get good and not have to rely on that advantage.
@arrowmanmike tuff guy... i dont care how good u are . if u use an estoc and sumone has fog ring it makes a diiference. not sayin i havent killed ppl with fog rings before, but it does make it pretty frustrating.
Hehe, I have to agree it is very discriminative against certain builds. Not just estoc, but basically any spear, as well as most sorceries are screwed over by the fog ring so I am glad they fixed it.
@idrinkalotmorethanu so? the level of your frustration does not reflect on the overpoweredness/cheapness of an item. you are the one who chose a thrusting weapon for pvp, and you should be prepared to deal with its strengths and weaknesses.
@idrinkalotmorethanu i do use it. thats because its a good item and i prefer skilled gameplay of herpaderp lockon press r1 fests. let me guess, you sit in havel with a greatsword and treat r1 as your second son? yeah
@arrowmanmike first of all havels armor is ugly and i would never wear it. second of all i use a katana dex build. and lol, how is it skilled gameplay when ur opponent cant lock-on to u and your barley visible?.
@idrinkalotmorethanu and the only "solution" is to equip the ring yourself. I think that's the biggest reason for the change. It requires everyone to use it or you're at a large disadvantage.
they should change the summoning/invasion lvl difference to 4 categorys in which ppl can play together . lvls 0- 50 , 51-100, 100-200, and 200+, it would make invading and summoning easier.
That's far too big a gap. People who have started new characters could be invaded by people who have got tons of good equipment from Anor Londo etc. and the invader will actually be able to use most of the equipment unlike people who complete the game at SL1.
When someone uses a miracle, it creates small white rings in the games of other players(similar in appearance to the yellow ring that appears in Sen's Castle after you beat the boss). Anyone who uses a miracle near that ring gets a boost in potency.
Oh, so does TWoP still force >100% Equip Burden? I seem to have been under the mistaken impression that it was changed to being >50% Equip Burden. If it keeps the old effect, 15 seconds can still ruin your day. I'd rather see 30 seconds with >50% Equip Burden, as that would shut down Dark Grain users but prevent spawn camp abuse.
I am not sure. It still felt pretty slow in the video, closer to the 100% penalty than 50%, since I could hardly walk. i might take another look at it.
What I've seen elsewhere is that the new TWoP effect allows you to do >50% Equip Burden rolls. The walking effect might still be >100% Equip Burden. If so, it is an interesting balance, and probably quite workable. 3v1 jumping might still be a problem though.
It's a covenant item, and FROM specifically said "covenant item drop frequency increased," so I would assume increased drops for Eye of Death, Souvenir of Reprisal, and maybe even Dragon Scales.
They need to release this patch(es) to the rest of the world a.s.a.p. Its bad enough that its taken over a month already. I dont blame FROM, I blame namco. This "release now,patch later" trend is becoming more and more popular with publishers, and its getting ridiculous. This is a great game, dont get me wrong, but it shouldnt have been released with all the bugs/glitches/exploits/framerate in single digits(blighttown). TL,DR; publishers are greedy and push releases too early
A large factor in the delay is indeed that Fromsoft has no control over the localization, so they can release a patch locally but can't really do anything for us overseas. I do however dislike being the trail run, since often they screwed up things even more with patches, such as 1.02.
@salamagogo Heh I actually think the worst thing about Namco Bandai is that they don't even release any information to us. We had to have players from Japan tell us the news in depth or translators take stuff from the patch notes. Honestly though, you would think there would be more communication with us from Bandai :/ What's going to delay shit more is Microsoft, because they take ages to approve patches :/ (should have bought a PS3).
@salamagogo Sorry, Bandai Namco* (or whatever). BTW! Did you notice how this publisher in particular likes to take credits for From's successes in the West? Assholes, From's game sold itself, all Namco did was localise.
@wgeorgiou yea, publishers seem to do that alot...I wish more developers could afford to publish themselves. Then they could release the game without being rushed and on thier terms. These greedy publishers(not all of them) are making things in our beloved video game industry worse. Namco should have been working along side FROM so the patch could have been released everywhere at once. But no, we are at thier mercy once again.
thanks for this helpfull video, but can you post the exact changes to the elite set? i used 5 Slabs on it, and i see no reason at all to nerf it, can you please tell me if they nerfed more or just set the poise back to 46?
I am uncertain about the specific changes to the stats, but I doubt it has changed much. The main changes were to the poise, so it should still be as effective as ever.
Yeah I'm on xbox 360, dude just didn't want to die, but I made him bleed his life away, lighting uchigatana +5 30% bleed over 250 attack and lightening.
Hey I play darksouls for xbox and I had a question, I so far encountered 2 people with outrageous health, I could be one but the other guy just wouldnt die, the one guy I killed his health showed when he died from bleed was over 65,000 HP! WTF?! When I delivered the last blow his HP popped up and showed his health, which leads me to ask is it possible to hack this game? I asked the guy how is health was so high and he said stat buffs and such, I think its bs so if you guys have maybe an idea?
This sounds more like a lag kill. Sometimes you will attack a guy and nothing happens, then suddenly he dies to a massive hit as all the piled on damage registers. If however it seems that there is no lag and you can't hit them they are probably using magic shield bug.
@skinreaperx If that number was at or below 65535. he edited his character manually. I'm going to go ahead and assume you're playing on the X360 version, since that's the only version in which it's possible.
Thanks for the info. I am on the PS3 and have not seen anything like this. Sounds like 360 users will have it even tougher if cheats like this are hanging around.
XBox360 is a Windows-based machine, so therefore anyone with a Windows-based PC and a little PC knowledge is able to alter their game file. I'm glad I don't play on XBox; more players on the PS3 (from Asian territories) and less ways to exploit while on-line.
You should be happy that you killed an artificially-buffed character with your "normal" character. You basically made a mockery out of that guy, & it shows that (exploits/cheats or not) if you suck at Dark Souls you'll die.
At the time it was still pretty vague. For the most part everyone is in the same place for me. The main change seems to be in the location of the undead dragon torsos in Izalith.
That may be true but as far as I know the only issues are with co-op signs not appearing properly. There are unlikely to be major changes to the patched content, though this is part of what is causing the delay in the US release since they will be skipping directly to 1.05.
Cool to see some of the updates. I'm a little bummed since I'm one of the few that actually prefer farming my mats than glitching the game for souls and buying them. Wish I would've know sooner....I'd like all those hours back. Ha!
Well, this also removes the soul glitch, but yeah, people will probably glitch and then update, carrying over the souls. It sucks trust me I have also spent a huge amount of time farming some stones.
Honestly I have only noticed a difference in New Londo. Blight town still has some issues for me so I don't know. Maybe minute improvements but I am still getting slowdown, so it's definitely not 100% fixed.
I am SOOOOO glad to hear that the Ring of Fog no longer makes it so you can't lock on to people using it. That fucking ring has made me rage quit just now.
Well that depends. I never really knew it was broken. I did not actually use it much. As far as I know all that changed was the way in which it is obtained. The effect still stays the same.
Well for the NA pre 1.04 Leo ring does not boost dmg for countering with piercing/thrust attacks
I've tried everything
riposte, backstab, attacking enemy after they were staggered from attacking my shield, attacking enemy during their attack animation, attacking enemy after their stamina has been drained from blocking
If you could test the dmg and upload a video or just reply wif yr results I would apperciate it
Counter attacks ONLY count for when you attack while the enemy is attacking. For the ring that affects backstabs/ripostes use the wasp ring. You already do extra damage normally when using counter attacks, about 1.2x. With the ring you do 1.2 x 1.4 = 1.68 times normal damage. Of course this is basically designed for spears, since you can keep your shield up and just stab each time they start a swing. I tried this pre-1.04 so maybe just recheck.
Well, I checked but I have no idea how that will help you I am afraid. I am already on the patch so I can not really compare it with how it was before, if it has changed at all. It does work though.
can you confirm some dex base weapon scaling changes please? i'm eager to figure out what is best dex build weapon now... i think the most basic improvement must be the chaos blade made with quelaag's soul... i have like 47 dex, and i do 480 damage with it with 10 humanity, this is frigging ridiculous for a weapon that costs health per hit..
Pretty much all I have confirmed is the A scaling of +13 and above Uchigatana and Iaito. All weapons have had some small changes but there are too many and I don't have upgraded versions of each weapon obviously.
Hmm, well unless you are talking about some bug I don't know about when enchanting the weapon I assume you mean the Tranquil walk of peace effect? The effect now lasts for a much shorter time as you can see in the video. It's about 10 seconds.
@Judicator11 it would be interesting to see if they have sorted it, it is similar to dragon head glitch but gives damage to the TWoP AoE!!! Meaning even when blocking your be dead in 3-5 seconds no time to do anything it's the worst thing in PVP but not widely used yet. yesterday someone uploaded the video of how to do it check it out
If it works on the same mechanics as dragon head then it might have been fixed, but there is no clear information on this yet. It's not a well documented bug so far, but I will provide more info when I have checked if it is still possible.
No. This has thankfully been repaired in the patch, as well as improper matchups so you don't have to run into people +100 levels higher than yourself.
The official word is "whenever". Really if someone knows specifically please give a shout, but as far as I can tell there is no set release. Because of localization, it will probably be in a week or something.
I'mma just take that as some epic sarcasm, hehe ;) I was so pissed off that they left these stupidly obvious glitches in the game. This is supposed to be DkS so on the whole I am happy about the nerfs. But now they went and made everything easier, which sucks too.
Nice informative video, I farmed clams for many hours hours to be able to upgrade my black iron armour set to +5, i dont like that the giant just sells twinkling titanite now everybody can easily get the best upgraded armour.
@CraigEmpson - No, actually. Everybody can't just up and get a ton of Twinkling Titanite to upgrade stuff; remember. You need souls to do it, and I'm assuming Twinkling Titanite is going to cost quite a bit.
it shows in the video, it only cost 8k.... if you are in ng+ you can farm the 4 forest defenders, each run 25k souls with the silver serpant ring... which will give you 3 stones right there.... i'm lvl 141 so killing them is a breeze for me... btw I never did the soul glitch...
@whatever7659 - Wasn't watching the video so whatever. I just read the description, and one thing you have to take into consideration is that not all people use that farming method. And good for you? I never assumed you did so.... Yeah, I didn't either and I'm at a pretty high level. Farming since release when not busy for the win...? Haha.

Really pisses me off what they did to the crystal ring shield, it was a big part of my build and now it's worthless, pretty much the only good thing about this patch is being able to buy twinkling titanite, still doesn't make up for it though

Referring to someone as a fag and in that persons case using it as an insult would indicate that persons homophobia.
He believes calling someone a fag is an insult which means he is homophobe.

Meh, the RoF garbage wasn't really too big an issue for me as a melee character. However, that Greater Magic Shield fix is the one I'm looking forward to most... I mean, god damn. You hit the person AS THEIR IN THE CASTING ANIMATION to interrupt it, and it still goes off since it's activated as soon as they hit the button. Total shit. Also TWoP + Lightning damage scaling is due for a fix, so I'm glad they fixed that. COME OUT IN THE WEST ALREADY PLZ

I knew I shouldn't have upgraded my antiquated skirt, and yet I did it anyway. The defense to weight ratio was too good to ignore (obviously, since they are patching it).
Does the increased drop rate of certain items address any issues with the Channeler's Trident or Titanite Demon Catch Pole? I haven't heard that it does but I hope so. There's only 5(?) Channelers in the game and only 3 of them respawn. And only 1 Demon respawns. I've been farming countless hours for these...

Oh, so does TWoP still force >100% Equip Burden? I seem to have been under the mistaken impression that it was changed to being >50% Equip Burden. If it keeps the old effect, 15 seconds can still ruin your day. I'd rather see 30 seconds with >50% Equip Burden, as that would shut down Dark Grain users but prevent spawn camp abuse.
XoRandomGuyoX 4 months ago
@XoRandomGuyoX
I am not sure. It still felt pretty slow in the video, closer to the 100% penalty than 50%, since I could hardly walk. i might take another look at it.
Judicator11 3 months ago
@Judicator11
What I've seen elsewhere is that the new TWoP effect allows you to do >50% Equip Burden rolls. The walking effect might still be >100% Equip Burden. If so, it is an interesting balance, and probably quite workable. 3v1 jumping might still be a problem though.

They need to release this patch(es) to the rest of the world a.s.a.p. Its bad enough that its taken over a month already. I dont blame FROM, I blame namco. This "release now,patch later" trend is becoming more and more popular with publishers, and its getting ridiculous. This is a great game, dont get me wrong, but it shouldnt have been released with all the bugs/glitches/exploits/framerate in single digits(blighttown). TL,DR; publishers are greedy and push releases too early
salamagogo 4 months ago
@salamagogo
A large factor in the delay is indeed that Fromsoft has no control over the localization, so they can release a patch locally but can't really do anything for us overseas. I do however dislike being the trail run, since often they screwed up things even more with patches, such as 1.02.
Judicator11 3 months ago
@salamagogo Heh I actually think the worst thing about Namco Bandai is that they don't even release any information to us. We had to have players from Japan tell us the news in depth or translators take stuff from the patch notes. Honestly though, you would think there would be more communication with us from Bandai :/ What's going to delay shit more is Microsoft, because they take ages to approve patches :/ (should have bought a PS3).
wgeorgiou 3 months ago
@salamagogo Sorry, Bandai Namco* (or whatever). BTW! Did you notice how this publisher in particular likes to take credits for From's successes in the West? Assholes, From's game sold itself, all Namco did was localise.
wgeorgiou 3 months ago
@wgeorgiou yea, publishers seem to do that alot...I wish more developers could afford to publish themselves. Then they could release the game without being rushed and on thier terms. These greedy publishers(not all of them) are making things in our beloved video game industry worse. Namco should have been working along side FROM so the patch could have been released everywhere at once. But no, we are at thier mercy once again.

WTF?! When I delivered the last blow his HP popped up and showed his health, which leads me to ask is it possible to hack this game? I asked the guy how is health was so high and he said stat buffs and such, I think its bs so if you guys have maybe an idea?
skinreaperx 4 months ago
@skinreaperx
This sounds more like a lag kill. Sometimes you will attack a guy and nothing happens, then suddenly he dies to a massive hit as all the piled on damage registers. If however it seems that there is no lag and you can't hit them they are probably using magic shield bug.
Judicator11 4 months ago

XBox360 is a Windows-based machine, so therefore anyone with a Windows-based PC and a little PC knowledge is able to alter their game file. I'm glad I don't play on XBox; more players on the PS3 (from Asian territories) and less ways to exploit while on-line.
You should be happy that you killed an artificially-buffed character with your "normal" character. You basically made a mockery out of that guy, & it shows that (exploits/cheats or not) if you suck at Dark Souls you'll die.

Judicator11 4 months ago
@Judicator11
Well for the NA pre 1.04 Leo ring does not boost dmg for countering with piercing/thrust attacks
I've tried everything
riposte, backstab, attacking enemy after they were staggered from attacking my shield, attacking enemy during their attack animation, attacking enemy after their stamina has been drained from blocking
If you could test the dmg and upload a video or just reply wif yr results I would apperciate it
RakeBone 4 months ago
@RakeBone
Counter attacks ONLY count for when you attack while the enemy is attacking. For the ring that affects backstabs/ripostes use the wasp ring. You already do extra damage normally when using counter attacks, about 1.2x. With the ring you do 1.2 x 1.4 = 1.68 times normal damage. Of course this is basically designed for spears, since you can keep your shield up and just stab each time they start a swing. I tried this pre-1.04 so maybe just recheck.
Judicator11 4 months ago

@Judicator11 it would be interesting to see if they have sorted it, it is similar to dragon head glitch but gives damage to the TWoP AoE!!!
