Yeah there's definitely an improvement here in raw performance. Still a decent amount of stuttering when traversing into new areas initially though (entering and leaving Sacrament especially) and the start of the zones but I'd say the improvement in this patch specifically is noticable.

Keep working your way through the big maze-like area to the left of the main chamber, and you'll find more of the handles to pull that raise the water. When I was working through it, I was completely skipping over a section with those sharks with legs or whatever they are, because I thought it was a dead end but there's actually a way up.
Yeah I have 2 agility rings on and attack speed definitely doesn't work.We have been deceived all this time. The vast majority of rings do not work.
Rings Are LITERALLY Broken | No Rest for the Wicked
I go about testing rings in No Rest for the Wicked to see if they actually work... Turns out, they don't.
I just dumped on echo night with these daggers I just made.
I think it's spot performance improvements rather than a complete one. For instance I think in most areas they lowered the GPU usage decently so I was able to boost up the render scale resolution after these last two patches 20% and maintain the same GPU usage as before.
The game will eventually need to be optimized for consoles and their Zen2 CPUs.
I have a Laptop RTX 4080, which I think is somewhat comparable to the desktop 3070ti (looking at benchmarks for a few games). Our CPUs are also comparable.
Yeah this plus some healing armor and one rune skill fills my health and focus bar completely and being frost i stun a lot of enemies too. Def needs to get nerfed lol.Am I the only one noticing some blueish around my character and some enemies? It must be related to the changes applied to the lightning system but I'm not fond of it, tbh.
And, unrelated to that, they must lower the crafting costs or buff the loot drops: almost any simple piece demands 2-5 animal loot that are soooo scarce. I only have 2-3 of many of them after almost 40h.
Wow, pretty good affixes. I bought and enchanted almost 50 daggers and I had zero focus on damage or stamina on damage, only 2% health on damage. I'm pretty sure that this daggers or some of the affixes gonna be nerfed.
Yep, that all makes sense! I typically don't play games for long periods of time anyway and tend to be the type who plays mostly at the beginning, but then will dip in every year or so to see what's new, but rarely do I hang around for long since I've moved on or (more likely) forgotten how to play and lost all semblance of skill. 😅 I'm excited to play it when it hits 1.0 though, that's for sure!
Souls is definitely an ARPG. People forget that genres like ARPG are quite vague and all encompassing - there are sub genres within that to add more nuance.
It's meant to be tackled around lvl21. So you need to grind the earlier areas and upgrade your town and equipment plus develop a solid build.
Ok that's what I figured. Didn't seem like you were immediately supposed to go straight there but because its end game they wanted to give everyone a taste of what it's going to be. I think I remember someone saying the devs had an idea of turning it into a rougelike esque system, which I find quite interesting.
