He’s still tanky AF, but the damage output ain’t what it used to be.

Added NPCs and quests and music?
Yeah, I'm holding off playing any more until the game is full of patches/extra content! I WANT THE FULL, PERFECT EXPERIENCE! (because this game is worth nothing less)

It kinda needed it to be fair. When you can stand back and watch the summon take care of later stage bosses without having to lift a finger, it's a bit ridiculous.

They decreased the damage output for Hoarfrost Stomp. We all saw that coming.

Some things I didn't expect to get a nerf still got caught by a stray nerf bullet. I guess I'll have to tell my friend about Bloody Slash. It's a shame because it was technically a good non-mage newbie-helper skill for something that could be found so early game, but now the cost of using it seems too risky.
Also instead of dumbing down mimic tear, they should just find a way for the A.I. to learn and study your behaviour to perfectly match it. Like if you roll a lot preemptively, it should too.
I'm really curious to hear this new night time music and I'm hoping the tone is vastly different considering what you can encounter during the night.

I took down Maliketh before the batch, I was really having hard time with this guy but after beating Malenia, he wasn't that hard by comparison
Honestly the batch it doesn't mean much to me, I beat most of the bosses without using any of that stuff, my build is pure melee with no magic whatsoever.

The stomp was doing more damage than my comet with 60 int, and cost virtually no fp.

I resisted all the OP stuff besides bloody slash so I'm not affected much. I hope they don't nerf bow jump attacks. So good for me. I never struggle with multiple bats anymore plus jumping has a high chance of giving you head shots on enemies.
I just applied the patch and already notice a big jump in the amount of rune drops from these bats in the Ruin-Strewn Precipice and more smithing stones on random spots on the walls since the last time I was here.

I can joke about it but this is nice addition:
Added a function to record an icon and the name of an NPC on the map when you encounter that NPC.
I used bloody Slash a few times, but went with Sepukku instead with blood talisman. Then switched again for Malenia fight then switched completely to her weapon and moonveil.

lol, I tried the Mimic Tear when I first got it, found it boring, never used it again. The game has so many cool summons and I've used a bunch of them, latest favourite is Black Knife Tiche, super agile and hits enemy with scarlet rot. Never used hoarfrost stomp, no need, guess peeps lost their easy mode. 
All jokes aside it's cool to see just how many changes/improvements are in this first big patch, FROM is going to be improving what is already one of the all-time greats and make it even better, Praise the Erdtree.

Haha, I never even had a chance to use Mimic Tear because I only bought the game last week. I see how it is.

wants to fuck an Asian grill.
Bloody Slash was a cool & strong ability I randomly came across and now it gets nerfed just cuz some online people abuse it? Patches have been common for a long time now but I gotta say this is the first time my singleplayer experience has been tampered with mid-playthrough lol

When I played MMO's a lot I used to hate that. Perfectly fine skill gets nerfed because fools online exploit it / spam it in PvP.

I just want a patch that gives the option to remove all beacons, having to hunt them down is a pain.

This is why I don’t care about PVP in Souls games, for me the fun of these games comes from fighting interesting creatures and bosses not fighting other players who can suck all the fun out of the game over what’s “meta”.

i only used a frost buildup infuse on my weapon for a bit of extra dmg but i dont know if you would consider that cheese or not
overall fight is not pleasant to look at but i was clutch towards the end with no flasks remained and my survival instincts were pumped to the max lmao
i will return to this fight once again. i want to study him and become better at him. i only beat him bcoz i was really tanky for him and that helped me take some quite a bit of punishment

No finger used, it was an npc invasion and it happened on its own when I reached the place, it even made me dismount from my horse.
Yeh. the first dragon heart I got was from one and I was wondering why I just got a dragon heart.
edit: only ones that don't respawn, like the rot one under the starter place drops one but the 3 that respawn in the palace near endgame don't.

It's still really good. It's just not stupid overpowered, fight the boss solo for you good. Even post nerf it can do that on everything but the end game, though.

I'm not seeing a fix regarding seemingly broken Mausoleums or enemy AI crashing in reaction to some attacks, maybe those are still coming?
Overall amazing update, fixing some of the game's biggest issues, especially:
That's two worst, disgusting exploits literally ruining PvP since release - GONE. Fucking perfect. Looks like I'm invading again today!
mwahahahahaha
GIT GUD. Seriously now, I think they should rather triple the FP consumption on Hoarfrost it making it less spamable but this also sounds more reasonable.Balance changes all look good, finally should make cracked pots and perfumes more useful. Looks like OP magic just became even more OP, that glintstone comet range increase seems a bit much but I'm about to respec to max INT again so this should be interesting.
Also:
Wow. Too bad I killed both Gostoc and Diallos for his helmet on my NG+. Kenneth Haight's questline felt broken and unfinished, curious how this plays out.

Nothing but endless whinging from you.
I didn't need cheese to beat Maliketh as a melee character. Only took a couple of tries too.
Probably time to accept that you just aren't as good as you think you are.

Not updating my game till moonveil gets nerfed too, no way am I sacrificing my beloved SONAF if those fuckers can still milk that OP shite too
Once moonveil is nerfed I'll happily accept my slap on the wrist by Miyazaki.

whats up with moonveil, is that the Katana? I just switched to that on my own free will after 80 hours of Uchi. I leveled it as high as I can and Im finally loving a different weapon as I am Dex/Int build. Please don't say the sword is going to get nerfed.Not updating my game till moonveil gets nerfed too, no way am I sacrificing my beloved SONAF if those fuckers can still milk that OP shite too

It'll probably be next seeing as it does way more damage than SONAF does on PvP and that's just been nerfed to shit.
People expected moonveil to be nerfed this patch and it miraculously survived so it's a dead cert for next patch.

Mimic tear still seems good, just beat the Duo with it very easily. While they were distracted I just spammed rotten breath
Also would have been nice if Incantations/faith got some love.

I don't think it was nerfed because of pvp, it's easy to avoid both attacks from that sword the charge up time is long. However in pve that sword was a better azur comet (damage and fp efficiency) than actual azur comet unless you had the unlimited fp charge for the flask and you could only use that once a fight.

Meh... They buffed shitty spells that were useless before. Who would use cometshard/night comet when comet cost was only slightly more and did considerably more damage?
My face when they mega-buffed sorcerers.
And crystal barrage was absolutely pointless, costed a ton and did practically no damage.
I'm surprised they haven't nerfed the cheap pvp weapons like Vyke's Spear that inflicts madness in 1-2 hits.
