Patch notes are a joke

"Mission

Improved an issue where certain level ranges (excluding boss battles) may cause frustrating and overly exhausting experience rather than [being] challenging."

Buddy, if you're feeling frustrated at a game cause you can't learn to adapt, that's not the game having a 'challenge' issue that's YOU getting your ego checked & having your iq pressed.

Can we NOT dumb the game down to appeal to a lower common denominator of player? F.F.S.

EDIT: "My point is really simple, in this genre of game- if you want a good product it's going to naturally filter out the people that are not willing to learn how to play the game better. Making changes that capitulate to people who are unwilling to try makes the product worse. I don't want a worse product, that is why I am ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about the changes. It's ego vs humility, & people that want the game to be easier don't like feeling humbled."

Hope that clears things up for people that don't understand what this genre of game is. I.e. souls tourists that want the game to be something it's not.

Good news. There's a difference between challenging and just f-ing annoying.

This one striked me as odd too... just progressing through the game was always the easiest part and even in this very complainer heavy forum i have never seen a thread about the levels being too hard.

There is, it's about 40 iq points.

Pls for the love of God if you are going to complain about the difficulty and bosses etc.. can you say first something like "this is my subjective opinion", pls do not say it as if it was true and objective. Because it really isn't and we can easily prove it with videos of people killing the same boss you complain about faster and easier. In fact i would say this game is too easy and makes the player too strong, they should remove some OP features that you can use. but instead they just keep nerfing every patch thanks to these people. It's kind of weird isn't it, the fact that you get into a game that you know it's supposed to be "hard" based on the genre and still complain about it's difficulty, it's like if i go to play a cozy game and complain about how easy everything easy it's contradictory, but i understand that they need these nerfs because they need people to keep playing the game and don't quit.

Your last sentence is basically why they nerf it.
You don't just want like 5-10% of players to actually beat the game.
My main complaint is how much HP the bosses have, very spongy half of the time.

I generally agree but they already went out of their way to implement an "easy" mode for the game that can easily have all these nerfs for people that are not as good at action games. Normal Mode felt fine from the very start of early access and was a nice challenge for a change in this sea of easy games so i don't understand why these nerfs can not be only applied to that mode.

You had a point after the redundant nonsense then you went back on it in the end. I can't imagine contradicting myself like that in the same paragraph. Insane.

This. There's literally already an easy mode.

I perfectly dodge and parry the boss's attack for a minute straight, land a million hits and combos only to look at the health bar and be like.. wtf? All that for 5% of its health?

neople has access to more data and feedback than the mentally disabled soulsdrones who cry over every minor adjustment to the game, if they feel that the game's difficulty curve could be smoothed out a little then i have no problem with that as someone who has completed the game https://i.imgur.com/U2FyATi.png

Notice the subversive language: "drones", "minor adjustment", "smoothed". No point is being made, if anything, you can read this as "I got my bag, ♥♥♥♥ 'em". Disingenuous comment detected.

you're one of the millions of bandwagoning redditors who ruined the souls community, your opinions are invalid.

this means ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, i got all achievements but one after my first playthrough and got the last one in NG+. If you want to brag try something that is not as quick to do. I just got done with NG++ and i'm mad you can't just restart and go NG+3
