Dark Souls - Patch 1.04/1.05 Info (Offscreen)

EDIT: Congrats to the regions that have finally gotten the patch! I think things will be pretty much the same, but if any info here is inaccurate or different, please give a shout!

Low quality, my old enemy, we meet again. Yeah, the text is hard to read. If you can suggest something free better than that PoS moviemaker please do.

These are NOT ALL the changes. Only the ones noted by the community. See the wiki at http://darksoulswiki.wikispaces.com/Patches for the official transcript. There have been some changes to all the vendors and blacksmiths, and lots of other little things that have changed as well. This info is collected from the community and my own observations so some things might not be 100% correct, though some of this info is confirmed in the official patch notes.

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?

[Re664]

So... with this upgrade no more dragon head glitch to get us souls?

[BadCynic]

Damn it, I didn't think we would ever get it so I sold the game. Now I have to go buy it again.

[Bobselete]

With every patch, to every game, there will always be QQ.

@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.

The elite knight armour poise decrease sucks...now I'm getting knocked around by every attack.

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
