I really hope that "Other performance improvement."

Isn't like the most minor of things.

Finale Fireworker has saved Elden Ring

Doth verily, thou is Elden Lord

If only Jawmuncher loved Dino Crisis enough to save it

I couldn't use it with my build but Hoarfrost Stomp seemed super broken so it doesn't surprise me to see that getting a nerf.

Some of the magic adjustments are interesting. I didn't think magic needed to have any of its FP use reduced but here we are.

Wonder if there's any change to performance on consoles

A naive thought, I'm sure

Lol I just turned on the game and saw these weird icons on the map like wtf are these

Oh no they have an NPC tracker. Game ruined due to "handholding"

They nerfed Bloody Slash before I beat Malenia or Radagon

Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
i run a pure magic build and a few of those seemed a bit high compared to the damage output

honestly for a long time the best FP to damage ratio was using a shitton of the swift gemshard spells (until you get to some later magic)

Smithing stone update was much needed, never realized how stingy the game is with those until I wanted to dabble in other weapons.

Funny, patch arrived directly after i uninstalled the game due to needing to cool off after a death at the end of a crucible knight try due to stuttering.
Will be interesting to try it when i come bacl to it after cooling off.

Ooh, Bloody Slash was my go to Ash of War. To be honest it took me over 40 hours to notice it actually drains a bit of health because the cost was so negligible, so that change makes perfect sense. Curious about the increased casting time though.

Hmm I wonder if performance on Series X has been improved. It's nice to see a patch so soon. Guess I'll hump in tonight and see if it's running any more smoothly on XSX Performance mode.

They made the mimic weaker *and* more stupid. Lol I guess with how many people were beating the game with it, it was the obvious thing for them to do.😅
