Dark Souls 3 krijgt morgen een nieuwe balansupdate

Met The Ringed City komt het verhaal van Dark Souls 3 ten einde, en daarmee ook van de serie als geheel. Niet alle vijanden in de laatste uitbreiding voelden echter even eerlijk aan, dus verschijnt er morgen een patch die zulke klachten moeten verhelpen. Dit zijn de patch notes die Bandai Namco heeft gepubliceerd:

Reduced damage of the light arrows fired by “Angels”

The sorcery “Hidden Body” is now effective against “Angels”

Reduced the damage of homing spears released from “Spear of the Church”

Reduced the amount of bonus absorption the “Spear of the Church” receives during 1vs2, 1vs3 and 1vs4 games (1vs1 is unaffected)

Reduced the amount of HP “Church Guardian” has during a 1vs1 match (1vs2, 1vs3 and 1vs4 are unaffected)

Increased damage and scaling of simple, crystal, fire, chaos, lightning, dark, deep and blessed infusions

Increased damage of raw infusions

Reduced damage and scaling of heavy infusions at lower weapon levels

Increased scaling of sharp infusions, and increased damage gain at high levels of dexterity

Reduced scaling of heavy infusions on lighter weapons

Reduced damage of “Exile Greatsword”

Reduced damage for L1(LB) attacks, and increased stamina consumption for L1(LB) attacks and weapon art “Ember” of “Ringed Knight Paired Greatswords”

Fixed a bug where the weapon art “Wind Wheel” of “Splitleaf Greatsword” was applying more status effects than intended

Fixed a bug where fully charged R2(RT) attacks of “Profaned Greatsword” and “Black Knight Greatsword” were not consuming additional stamina

Fixed a bug where the weapon art of “Preacher’s Right Arm” would combo for more hits than intended

Fixed a bug where the weapon art of “Painting Guardian’s Curved Sword” would combo for more hits than intended

Increased damage of Toxic dealt by players, but reduced the penalty to stamina regeneration

De update verschijnt morgenochtend, Nederlandse tijd. Op de consoles is de patch vanaf 04:00 uur beschikbaar, en de Steam-versie wordt om 11:00 uur bijgewerkt. Het gaat om een zogenaamde regulation update, dus hoef je (als het goed is) niets te downloaden en gaan ook de servers niet offline.
