They're nerfing a lot of the magic/pyro and beefing up weapons that scale with stats.

They're also making the game easier since you'll be able to buy a Master Key, buy Twinkling Chunks, and all rare drops will become more common.

I had to farm 20 Souls of Reprisal and 20 Eyes of Death. That wasn't fun.

I dunno, some of those equipment and weapon changes seem completely unnecessary. I welcome the online improvements, but wtf with the others.

Japanese videogame developer cluelessness?

Yup, several points that make no sense and make the game drastically easier. It's already pretty easy.

I think almost all of them were necessary. Especially increasing the stat bonuses to be more in line with the elemental bonuses weapons' received.

The only thing I read that I didn't like is nerfing the gold hemmed robes. Love 'em.

I think all the nerfing was probably necessary, but increasing the drop rate of certain items just makes the game...not easier...but less of a grind. Meh, I guess I'm not bothered by that either.

What is it specifically that you guys think are unnecessary? Besides increasing the drop rate for certain items?

Looks like it, but it might not be much different with the US infrastructure. Japans a much smaller network thats much better. Looking at PvP of Japanese players makes me want to cry, there's little to no lag.

Sad

As for balancing, it should help out high level PVP, but lower level invasions are still going to be borked with people who glitched to grief.

My Hellboy character is SL7 and I've beat the gargoyles, queelag, sif, and moonlight and rung both bells. I can kill Capra and the gargoyles in one piro shot! Working on a plan to kill the kings < SL 20...
