From the Bloodborne wiki:
Patch Notes
New Covenant : The League
This is the confederate covenant of hunters associated with The League. You may meet Vartor (ヴァルトール - Official English naming pending) and join The League at the Forbidden Forest, in the hut that must be unlocked as a shortcut next to the first lamp. If you co-op while using the covenant rune (Stagnation - official translation pending) and succeed in your task you will receive an insect item that will be allow you to participate in the ranking system.
New NPC Co-op Partners
Hunters of The League faction will be able to summon new Old Hunters into their game in several areas, including Chalice Dungeons. You must purchase the Elder Summoning Bell at the Hunter's Dream and ring it to summon the Old Hunters at their specific markers. The Elder Summoning Bell consumes insight on use, and you can only have a maximum of two NPC phantoms with you at a time. If you have another co-op player in your world, you can only summon one NPC helper.
Chalice Dungeon Changes
Non-root Chalice Dungeons will now have have a default glyph in order to allow easier co-op and pvp: This means you now can find other players in the default dungeons, but if you would like to opt out you may create a unique glyph.

Am I just bad at using the PSN store or is this DLC not available to buy here in Australia?
PSN Blog said that it would be balanced more for end game builds even though you can access to it in the first half of the game. So it ranges from 50-90. Demo builds were lvl75.

Thanks!
I'm on ailing Loran layer 3 now. Definitely not overwhelming, but from the first chalice to now, shit got hard. My goal is to platinum without coop entirely.

Better have some poison knives if that's the boss I think it is.

Yeah, when I went for the platinum I went at them like I was getting paid to do them. It really ups your ability in my opinion.
here's how to access the DLC:

Oh I actually guessed it right how we access it? Cool.
They have said it would be balanced more around late game builds. That said game isn't that hard with level 50-60 character as long as you have weapon upgraded properly and high enough Vit and damage stat. You can easily get to lvl40-50 at the access point.

What if I've already beaten Rom?
the item will be already within the hunter's dream, so it is just a matter of going to the hunter's dream, retrieve that item and go to Oedon's Tomb

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
The placing of the DLC is perfect for me, I left off in the forbidden woods last time I played and was getting mad at how bad I am for not being able to get through it, so having a new area I can explore sounds good.

After Amelia is pretty early, interesting. I guess it ties in lore-wise with the altar and skull of Lawrence or whatever his name was(? - I really love the story/lore of BB, but I'm terrible at remembering names of things in BB vs Souls for some reason)

Same, he murdered me on NG+. I've never figured him out.
So uuuh about Valtr, the League NPC, something happened, I guess...
So uh... now what? That's all...?
First, I joined the League and smashed some vermins, then I got the new emote and stuff, and when I came back, a hostile NPC was there, next to the lantern. I killed him and I got a new item, Madaras' Whistle or something (I dunno the name in English).
So after that, I wanted to talk to Valtr, but he wasn't here anymore. Just his bucket helmet. So I suppose he's dead.
Wanted to see if I could bring him back like Annalise at the Altar of Despair, but it didn't work.

It was. Stealth price increase that nobody seems to bothered by
The first announced price was more likely a mistake that they corrected later. I though it was weird that DLC was $20 and 15 as it usually is same amount.

I think my main is screwed to rank up in coop, way overlevel to help people in coop
Yup. RIP in piece make contact, it was nice knowing you!

I love it. The soundtrack makes it feel like a murder chase scene, which is fitting since many players feel that way lol.

How bad? I have a 177 character so we can hopefully coop if you want.

I usually try to parry, keep my distance and circle around to the left with him.
When it comes to camera Paarl is the worst for sure. One Reborn is still the worst boss though.

Paarl is like playing inside a Blender , punching like crazy except the point you marked, thank god the one reborn you can move the focus point to its stomach for less paintful experience
JadedWriter

I don't even lock onto Paarl most of the time. I do my best to keep it unlocked, roll underneath him and just flail around aiming for his legs. Thing that sucks is that you can't even fucking see through him as you're underneath him flailing around madly hoping to hit something that will deplete his life bar.
He needs to take off Havels armor.A friend of mine just posted this to me on FB, after I posted about the BB patch and DLC:

Paarl's camera sucks but I've never died to him.

Bloodletting beast is dope. Paarl is annoying because when I first come across him as I'm kidnapped I'm too low level to beat him, but then when I came back later I just demolished him.
Paarl, the Witches, One Reborn, Micolash, and Cleric Beast round out my bottom 5 bosses, but I don't think any of them are really bad.
Well, Bloodletting Beast is okay when you fight him in a normal Chalice Dungeon. But when the dungeon is Pthumeru Ihyll in cursed, rotted and fetid mode, and there is poison everywhere in the arena that slows you down during the fight... it's not funny. Not funny at all.
I couldn't beat him, it was fucking impossible for me.
