PTD Fixes/Nerfs/Etc... [NO LORE SPOILERS]

OH MY GOSH! SO MANY THINGS CHANGED! GAH! I can't wait to see how this all works, balancing wise. I bet FROM is testing to see how this works and then will balance again when the DLC comes out.

But I bet the glitch fixes and all this balancing is what they were REALLY working on, not a PC port. Super excited.

NOW I JUST NEED TO GET MY DARNED COMPUTER FIXED! :x

Also I thought I might mention that backstabs have had a damage decrease. A 50 INT build using an enchanted Richard's Rapier +5 only did around 650 BS damage on a hollow.

Does anyone know anything about the ring you receive from the 3rd boss? The one that flies?

Spoiler:

I'll add it to the list.

I wonder if it does anything else, as another spell related ring does something similar overall. I'll try it out and let you know if I see anything.

What the eff they nerfed Quelaags?

Yeah, apparently they did. I'm not clear about how much exactly. I have no idea why they decided to nerf it though. I'm starting to think everything was nerfed lol.

From has disappointed me. A badass weapon like that should not have been nerfed.

I'm pretty sure everything has been nerfed (other than pyromancy) to make the game harder.

Prepare to die, yo.

What about chain bs, roll bs? Nothing changed?

Roll BS would pretty much have to redo the whole mechanic, and I'd be sad to see that change since it would be harder to punish certain weapon types, like rolling clubs, and Scythe users.

I just want to play this! I'm fixing my computer tomorrow.

Any changes on poise breakpoints?

^THIS! Test this!

anyone know of any changes to existing movesets on weapons? (i.e. black knight sword/greatsword R2 or axe/mace stagger animations)

Any info is greatly appreciated =]

I'm wondering if resistance-stat has been fixed?

Hope so. It's the most useless thing in the game, except for the tiny beings ring.

So since I started on NG+, I'd like to add to this that a couple(very few so far) items have changed. As far as I can tell it's just Humanity(some corpses with a Humanity item have 3 on them instead of 1). Also I don't know if this was happening before, but I'm fairly sure as a Gravelord Servant you get a Humanity when someone dies to a black phantom. I gravelorded on NG+ in the burg and got 4 Humanity just chilling outside the bonfire before Taurus(always after fog gates cam up then went back down shortly after). Also same disclaimer as I never gravelorded on PS3 any, but one of the players who I assume was being cursed was a lowby while I was 85+. On that note I assumed it was someone closer to my level and pounded their head in with a single swing of my greatsword....sorry whoever you were Also it feels like certain mobs on the PC NG+ do WAY more damage than they did on consoles, and some have significantly more HP(forest keepers?). The Bandit forest keeper has roughly 1700 HP on NG+. As far as that damage goes though, at 20vit(yeah I'm retarded I know) with full +5 xanth a spear knight in parish done a triple thrust atk on me at the same time I so conveniently missed a parry.....the 3rd thrust hit air because I was already dead

- Lizardmen has new attack where they burst green **** (venom)
- Medium roll is buffed
- STR weapons got some hyper armor
- Bowbacktab removed

The lizardmens attack is old. It's just really rare.

How is the medium roll buffed?

It is faster, I'm gonna dig up some new info on it.

Both of these things I need lots of details about.

Are any of the other rolls changed?

I'm curious as well about whether backstabs have changed any but i don't think they have. I know that bs damage bonus is less now.

I dont know of any changes to poise breakpoints so I will have to look into that.

As for the resistance stat, I'm pretty sure it's just as useless as before but I'll have to double-check.

For rolls, I'm not clear on how much has been changed. I'll have to ask someone to check all these things out for me

I appreciate all the work you put into this Zigg
