Elden Ring Patch 1.03 Out Now, Get All the Patch Notes Here

There goes my best farming method and easy mode 😟 I suppose I'll have to play the game properly now. I know I'm not hardcore but absolutely love the game and will take every bit of cheese I can!

R.I.P Mimic Tear Ashes.

You mean to say they haven't added an easy mode it yet?
Naturally im joking.

@LN78 they need free play testers. It’s the new norm and totally obnoxious. They’re lucky the game is great.

@LN78 Yeah but a little bit of the magic is lost. I rarely play AAA day one, but when I do I really feel excited to just explore knowing that everyone else is doing the same. Until the game crashes of course.

I'm still halfway from finishing the game. Have 70 hours in. I take it slow. I'm a mage, so this patch is a blessing . Not so much on the moonveil sword though but I understand ahahaha OP weapon.

@LiamCroft GT7 just had an update aswell.

How severe is the mimic tear nerf? I have one at plus 10 currently

@bimboliquido sometimes you get lucky shrug

@AndyKazama think something like 20% damage reduction and now they don’t spam the ashes of war infinitely.

The NPC update is a godsend for me, I have been forgetting who was where or if anyone was there to begin with, so this is a very helpful update!

Also, does anyone know if this will also help with following quest lines like alex? Because i'm not sure if it shows NPC sotryline quest that move from place to place.

Mimic Tear and Hoarfrost stomp were my go to's!!

@Tecton217 Correct me if i'm wrong but, didn't they have a network test before the game came out?

Edit: wow I must be that early in the game, or just haven't found it yet because I have no idea what a mimic tear is LOL.

@Gooseman42 Which farming method is that?

Looks like I'm playing this offline until I beat Melania with my op SONAF 😂

That boss is one of the biggest bull**it moments of any FS game I've ever played.

@ZeroOverOne that's not too bad. As long as they still inflict bleed at the same rate.

@DonJorginho As long as they didn't nerf this. Weapons - Prioritizes use of right-hand weapon wielded when summoned
Armor
Talismans
Spells/Incantations
Arrows/Bolts - Unlimited supply of those equipped when summoned

E.g. if you got bleed bonus talismans you should be okay. Since for me, the mimic was only stun locking her and I was doing the real damage.

Magic buffs! Haha. The traditional Souls game’s hidden easy mode gets even easier.

@LN78 at least you don't buy them day one and then don't even get round to playing them until months later because you're already in the middle of a game. I bought this and Horizon day one and by the time I actually get round to them I'm sure they'll both be £10-£20 cheaper. But I'll never learn 😕

I cant belive they are buffing magic, cause its not riduculas already, god damb Ion cannons and meteors bosses falling over before they even realise your there, here I am str build 2h most of last few bosses look at me and I die.
Any1 know the extent of the mimic tear Ash? Like just stands there now attack occasionally or?

Not played the game yet, but a little disappointed that the notes appear to be primarily about making sure to weaken some of the more powerful attacks (ie make the game harder?) and not mentioning any fixing of crashes, frame rate, and performance. (Although there is the vague “other performance improvement and bug fixes” which I doubt amounts to these bigger issues since they certainly would have highlighted fixing the most complained about problems).
I think I’ll wait a little longer.

@LN78 Yup, cheaper price I understand, but adding good gameplay element after launch just make me want to wait so when I play it, I get the best experience.

It's cool FromSoftware add more things to the game though.

@PapaGlitch How about buying them day one and postponing playing the game (distracted by other games), until the game already on psplus. The story of me and detroid become human lol 😂

Now I already stop buying game day one until I'm 100% sure I'll be playing it right away.

@Super_Pine_89 the moonveil sword wasn’t nerfed. It was the sword of night and flame.

2nd post launch update..there was a little one last week..

Too bad, I had just leveled up my Mimic Tear to max level. The AFK spot seems to have slowed down too.

With the nerf of Mimic tear, is time to give it a try to Black Knife Tiche spirit

Nooooooo, not the mimic tear ash! 😩😩

Damn, bloody slash has been nerfed. There goes my get out of jail card.

Damn, those are a lot of bug fixes for a game that was already lauded as the best of all times in most sites. Crazy, huh?

@Tolive89
Using the Hoarfrost Stomp's damage Ash of War to wipe out all the ET enemies in the same place as the making the big bird fall off the ledge farm at the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of Grace. Using Golden Scarab & Golden Pickled Fowl Foot.

The game is just amazing and I'm only 6 hours in but I'm holding off for a framerate patch!

Wait new NPC quest additions!? New NPCs!? Seriously From the game is already huge as it is! I'm never going to finish this game. 😂

@JohnnyShoulder I know right?! I've been using Bloody Slash literally for the entire game

No performance improvement I see.

Gotdammit. I literally spent my night last night getting and upgrading the Sword of Night and Flame. Amazing timing. Lol

At least I still have Moonveil.

@LN78 I could answer your question, but it'd likely cause offense!

@lolwhatno

Who's angry? All games should be improved. We are long past the time when a game needed no patchs or updates. I was just saying that for a game that most people seem to think it's the second coming of Christ, it had a lot of bugs that they are fixing.

@AgentGuapo ahh whew, thanks for the clarification. I just got the moonviel and respec. To use it.

@Gooseman42 So big bird does not fall off now? Haven't had a chance to fire it up yet but that was where I easily farmed 40 levels in a half hour.

@Lup Yeah it's almost like a game can be great and still have some bugs who would have thought?

Wow! Some fairly significant additions here actually.

I'm about 32 hours in and level 32 and most of this is going over my head but the NPC stuff could be useful. I have about 60 sites of grace so I can just bop around looking for NPCs a bit. So far I think I've spoken to 3 or 4 but the only "quest" I've done is freed some nobles fort and he gave me a dagger. I got jellyfish girl set up in Roundtable Hall but I don't recall doing anything for her, just talking to her. Still have no idea what she meant about grating to a spider, thankfully haven't met that yet. Oh and I saw Lanya but not sure where that guy went after that. If the game wants to tell me where he went to best the rapscallions I'd follow.

Better than $20 for a green line. 🤑

@weR1youR2Podcast
Not sure yet, I was referring to the nerf on the Ash of War

@lolwhatno

No problem, it's the internet. It's kinda like the norm for people to be angry about something lol
And yeah, that's a good way of looking at it. There will probably never be a "perfect" game. And it is all a matter of preference at the end of the day. There's a lot of 10 out of 10 I didn't even like, and a few 6 or 7 that I loved.

@Logonogo

Not saying it can't be. Just that depending on the company that makes the game, a lot of bugs and glitches always mean a lower score. Not if it's FromSoftware, it seems.
I'm sure there are more objective reviews, of course, haven't read them all.

I’m not a big fan of “balancing” weapons especially in single player games. Often because as an average player I won’t know it’s happened, I might put a lot of time and effort into levelling and learning a weapon only for the next time I play it to be junk.

So, FromSoftware caved & added a " Casual Mode"? Pathetic..

@Robinsad
this is not a single player game

@Uromastryx
read what magic spells are being buffed. none of those spells you complain about are being buffed, all the spells that are being buffed were garbage

@Lup there's a bunch of other games that are revered as classics that launched with plenty of bugs and still have them to this day--Witcher 3 being an example. I am not trying to engage in a long debate with you but I think your focus is just on the positive response to a game you don't care for. Also if your rating metric does not factor in enjoyment and is strictly based on technical competency I would say you are in the minority there

@nts haha geez, who pissed in your Cheerios? I'm clearly just having a bit of a laugh. Also, the headline mentions nothing about magic. You would have to read right to the very bottom for that. Hope lunch goes better than breakfast for you.

@nts I'm aware so now garbage spells get buffed with the ones that are already good..so either way casters get more ridiculas

Most of these changes involve items and skills which were generally OP broken. Other neglected items and abilities are getting buffed. Seems like the focus is mostly on magic and caster items. I'd like to eventually see a shared tab on the chest that lets you pass down items to a new character. I kinda hate the idea of having to re-farm certain items that took forever to drop (brass shield).

Its not a game, it’s an adventure. Even the updates are an adventure.
👍🏻

Remember how old video games just shipped broken and never got fixed and we all just rolled with it? Now games ship broken and get fixed and we complain about the necessary fixes?

Mimic tear was my go to. Good thing i platinum this already. Next play through might be pure faith

@PSXDave You're not very bright huh?

No update on RT support, huh? The game’s lighting is already gorgeous but I wanna see what that adds to the table.

"Increased the number of patterns of objects player can imitate when using Mimic’s Veil."

Yes! No more wandering about as a crate.

@Robinsad You know the game has a big PvP element right? Plus the stuff nerfed was just insanely broken and needed balancing, the stuff nerfed is still very viable its just no longer insanely very easy mode.

@TBubs311 it adds a 30FPS cap haha

Use two fingers…. but hole
