Big update deploying today
From Software is rolling out an update forDark Souls IIItoday across all platforms and it’s one I’ve been desperately awaiting. I couldn’t scan the bullet points fast enough! It’s here!
Many of us have struggled to get the Blue Sentinels and the Blades of the Darkmoon covenants to work properly. In theory, they’re both supposed to automatically summon players into other worlds to help protect them against invading forces. Sure, cool. Except some of us have had that happenvery few times, if at all. Out of options, we’ve resorted to a dreadfully long grind against three pain-in-the-ass knights for a chance at a rare item drop that can be exchanged for covenant-exclusive rewards. I’m about halfway through the 30-item grind after many hours, and I sure wouldn’t recommend it.
Today’s update should, in theory, help with this to some extent. From Software is altering the “range of the matching level” for these two covenants, which is vague as ever, but sounds like a start (although I’m not entirely convinced it will solve all of our problems). The studio is also loosening conditions for “optional events,” fixing bugs, and doing more balancing work.
Here are the full patch notes:
There will be server downtime tonight forDark Souls IIIfrom 4:00pm to 6:00pm Pacific on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and from 11:00pm to 1:00am Pacific on PC, so plan accordingly.
