We'll have 911 on speed dial. I've heard that Chimera is a nightmare.
I so wish I had my 360 to purchase and play the DLC on. Makes me quite sad really.
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
The 1.06 update is online, but I haven't seen the DLC in the PSN store. Darkwood Grain Ring nerf is reality! STOKED.
How exactly did it get nerfed? I'm curious.
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy

You need to be under 25% equip burden to make it work instead of <50%. I'm not sure whether they have changed any animation speeds.
I like that they changed the item descriptions. :aimsmile:

also, THAT IS BEAUTIFUL! 25% weight isn't overkill, but it also gets rid of the havel whores. Oh that's amazing.
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
They've also adjusted the Eagle Shield to only block 95% of physical damage.
Yet another welcome change. That shield was so broken ._.
It's still pretty good though, just can't turtle behind it anymore.
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Just when you thought this game could not be any more awesome, it turns out to be nothing but glorious. Holy tit, those new bosses.
More good news; the hornet ring got nerfed too! It now boosts critical hit damage by 30% instead of 50.
Also, good luck Flying Arrow. For as far as I've played I don't like your odds.

So I've heard...
But what a way to go!
Okay, so let me get this straight.
Eagle shield nerfed
DWGR nerfed
Hornets ring nerfed
EVERYTHING I EVER COMPLAINED ABOUT HAS BEEN FIXED
OH MY GOD I WANT THIS UPDATE
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
So I got to Oolacile township apperently. I beat Artorias++ after like 15 tries to much acclaim. Probably time for me to hit the sack.
Some of my thoughts about the new PvP arena:
Free For All is a ton of fun, but matchmaking can take forever. There's a bigger chance of getting a FFA in the forest as a Darkwraith rather than in the arena I think. When it succeeds though, it's a blast. This is where you can get some really fun chaotic fights and AoE spells like Fire Tempest and Gravelord Greatsword Dance can be hilarious. Bows and Crossbows can come in real handy too.
Team Duels aren't that much fun, as the team who loses a member first is in serious trouble the entire time, as you'll probably be fighting 1 vs 2 and get killed before your teammate respawns. As he drops back into the arena, you're likely to have died already, and the 2 enemies can pick your teammate off easily. Then you drop and get ganked and such. It's unbalanced. I'd rather see a simultaneous team-respawn.
The 1 vs. 1 mode is alright and I mainly think of it as good practice rounds, as you'll do a lot more fighting and less waiting compared to dueling in the Kiln or Burg. Plus you get multiple respawns so you can adapt strategy and fighting styles. The bad thing is, because spells get recharged on every spawn there are some tits around using seemingly infinite TWoP, WoG and other lame spells. Players with healing miracles attuned can heal themselves after getting a kill, nullifying any damage taken in the prior round and thus taking away any advantage you might have had otherwise. Sorcerers can be overpowered too, since the drawback of the Tin Crystallization Catalyst (amount of spellcharges cut in half) is pretty much nullified by the spell recharge. And then there are the overly competitive players who go turtle-mode as soon they get a 1-0 lead, and basically try to waste as much of your time as possible to sit the fight out.
So overall not really impressed by the arena, but I've had some good duels and I hope the FFA matchmaking improves eventually for more chaotic fun.
