Unofficial Dark Souls 3 Balanced Patch Notes:

[Black Rabbit]

Armor/Weight/Weapon/Poise Adjustments

Poise
Poise now reduces stamina lost from blocking attacks with a shield by 1 for 1 up to 50, then 2 for 1 to 75, then 3 for 1 to 76-90 which is cap. The value of poise has been increased and now will prevent being interrupted from attacks. Poise is now based on overall weight of your character, the more weight you have, the more poise you have and has been removed from all armor.

1.0 weight=1 poise

Poise is reduced each time your hit, all weapons deal "Poise" damage based on their weight. So if you have 100 weight (100 poise) and are hit with a 28 weight weapon, it will deal 56 poise damage, so 2 attacks from that weapon will break your poise. However, if you are being attacked by say a Longsword, which is 3 weight, you will only take 6 poise damage, which means you would need to be hit 16 times to break your poise, which regenerates over time like stamina. Of course almost nobody will have 100 weight however it makes heavier armor more viable in the game and adds another playstyle to it.

[P.S. This is a joke post, but the game is completely unbalanced in favor of some weapons, and i'm tired of seeing everyone using the same weapons.]

I yearn for my dual-dagger builds in DS2.
I hope people are still playing...

The worst part about 3 is that, even if it were balanced, the only way to get a decent fight is in fight clubs... and I can't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stand fight clubs. :/

Hands off the Washing Pole bub.

Dual Daggers feels kinda useless..

In 3 or 2?

In 3, they're alright if you make them Lacerating. Most straight sword/rapier users forget that there are faster things than them, and will just eat blood loss after blood loss trying to R1 through you.

But no, they're not good if they're not stupid.

In 2, they're amazing, if you're using the correct combination of daggers.

Someone is very salty.

They've already released the game, why would they waste their time for patches, if the game is already bought lol?

[garjian]

Because developers, including From, have been patching games since ninet-teen-ninet-ty-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥-nine.

Im glad someone has finally come out and said DS 2 pvp needs to be fixed and has mapped out a pathway for solving the problems.

We can all sleep soundly finally.

I can hardly wait, only another 3 years, for the dark souls 3 fix thread from OP.

DLC. If the game is broken it turns users away from reinvesting into new dlc for the game. Thus there are financial incentives for publishers to pay money to have developers fix games and balance games via patches. While dlc piece sales games to us over time, it has (underratedly) increased the likelyness of balance and bug fixes past a weeks of release for most games.

I used Dagger / Rapier in 2, but refuse to use it in 3 due to being.. well too overpowered.
