Giant Blacksmith now sells Twinkling Titanite? Sold.

There was a signature here. It's gone now.
Your face is bees.

hey Ayuyu if possible can you not do >this in normal actual posts

I have a filter set to remove all instances of people doing it so I don't have to waste my time on posts that aren't worthwhile but it defeats the purpose if people start doing it in normal, informative, relevant posts

--
no misuzu you are the princess

Sounds like a bloody awesome patch!
UC3 should be coming today, so I doubt I'll start NG++ right away, but now I'm definitely going to do it. (I'm so close to 100% anyway, might as well wrap it up.)

Twinkling Titanite being sold is great.

also adding the master key as an obtainable item sounds like something they should have done right away, assuming you don't lose it in new game+. that way you could have played through the game the normal way the first time and be able to skip stuff in new game+

I actually bumped my Winged Spear up to a Lightning +5. So worth it.

I'm planning on turning my Winged Spear into the Butterfly Spear thingy. Just cause I want it.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

I don't understand why they would nerf the fog ring. Why was it even created if not to piss people off? I can't imagine a dev team sitting around and saying "so this ring that makes you largely invisible and prevents other players from locking on to you, that should be fine."

Is scalling still **** can't play much today.

so finally listening to this soundtrack. I don't really know which one I like better between this and demon's souls' actually. just listening to it dark souls has a lot more going on, but I kind of like the kind of sparse atmosphere most of the demon's souls song had considering the kind of game it was.

also I see they continue the tradition of giving some songs the wrong name like they did for the demon's souls soundtrack!

DON~!

So is the patch out or not? I'm not able to download it if it is.

--
Ayuyu

I think only in japan, no clue how they are handling the online now.

--

Haven't been able to download the soundtrack, the files are really large and my uni's internet limits the download of large files, so I can't get the entire thing until I'm home or something.

oh no apparently they completely nerfed the antiquated skirt and I put all my remaining twinkling titanite in that yesterday, good thing I can buy those now.

and the gold hemmed equipment apparently got nerfed as well. pretty badly too, the crimson equipment now has better stats even without upgrading it.
