Bloodborne patch will tweak co-op leveling



From Software is planning to release a new patch for PlayStation 4's Bloodborne next week, which tinkers with cooperative play.
The plan is to make sure that all players who are summoned by friends into passworded co-op games are playing at the same level. Currently, only players on a similar level can play together. A blog post on the PlayStation's Japanese website states that Update 1.05 will ensure that all guests will have their level modified to match that of the host's.

I know I'm LTTP. But since i was never a fan of the souls series I never really gave this game a try until recently.

The first half 3 hours of the game were horrendous. I died alot and was extremely frustrated. Thought this would be another DS1 type of experience where i am going to quit after a couple of hours of dying. but i didnt and kept on playing it and after a a good 3 - 4 hours of grinding i finally nailed the cleric beast.. BLOODY hell what an experience it was... have spent a good 20 - 25 hours and loving it.

Just curious, how close is DARK SOULS 2 to Bloodborne ? I will definitely give it a try on the PS4 once BB is done with.

About as close as Earth is to Mars. Seriously, stay away from that game.

Glad you're having fun with BB.
I know from the previous discussions that you despise DS2. But it did get quite impressive scores and that is the reason coupled with BB that i am looking forward to DS2. After finishing off BB i need something of similar sort to keep me interested. Care explaining whats wrong with DS2 ?

Well, scores mean jack to Souls games. I've said from the beginning that most of the current video game reviewers are incapable of reviewing Souls games properly. It takes time to cover the depth of the games and to understand the intertwining story threads. They just churn out a review in less than a week. So, never make a decision based off reviews.

The actual things wrong with the game are easy to notice. The combat's clunky, i-frames depend on a stat, level design is more linear and makes no sense, story is all over the place, difficulty is artificially inflated, bosses are lackluster, carbon copy weapons mean that there are more weapons but less weapon variety, magic is completely broken, healing is broken, PvP is broken, exploration isn't encouraged. Just everything is a clear downgrade from what Dark Souls was.

There's good reason for the stigma around this game. It's just not a worthy Souls game. It was made with bad intentions and made with worse design choices. I can elaborate more on why the game is so bad but I don't have the time to do it.

SKL is your character's Skill attribute. STR is your character's Strength attribute. The higher these stats are the more they scale the damage of your weapon, if that weapon does scale with that stat.

Weapons can scale with 4 different stats: Strength, Skill, Bloodtinge, and Arcane. Different weapons have different scaling grades, which range from "Dash" (-), meaning it does not scale at all, to S which is the highest grade meaning it scales the highest.

So for example, if a weapon has S scaling with STR and D scaling with ARC, then that weapon gets the biggest damage boost from your character's Strength attribute and the lowest damage boost from your Arcane attribute. So, the most beneficial build for that weapon would be a High STR build.

Good job. How's your Insight looking? How much Madman's Knowledge you packing? Speak to me of these things.

Think I have around 10 insight for now.. Spent some on the Gascoigne set... And packing around 10 madman's knowledge I think... Not entirely sure how insight works though... I know enemies get stronger if you have more but that's about it. Should I be holding more?

Moreover, I'm using the threaded cane and have upgraded it to +5. Skillpoints are going into skill vit and endurance. About to reach 20 on vit and end and around 25 on skill. Any reason to pump points into anything else? Bloodtinge and arcane are at 8

Insight works the same way like how Humanity does except you never lose it unless you use it to purchase something or if you get hit by a certain attack. Insight also makes you more prone to Frenzy which'll cut off 80% of your health of you let the meter build up.

There really is no need to horde Madman's Knowledge in your inventory. Pop all of them and collect as much as you can. You'll be treated to weirder and weirder shit the more Insight you have. 40 Insight especially has a cool side effect. More insight also unlocks knew moves for enemies. Not particularly any harder. Just more moves to look out for. And, more insight also unlocks a specific area earlier than usual.

[h=2]Bloodborne's new patch makes it easier than ever to max out your weapons[/h][h=3]Get Blood Rocks for the holidays[/h]







A new patch for Bloodborne, version 1.09 of the PlayStation 4 action RPG, adds a new way to secure one of the game's rarest materials, Blood Rocks. Those precious stones, which are required to max out weapons to +10 strength, are now available to purchase from the game's Insight Shop, as of today's update.
Buying Blood Rocks isn't cheap; they cost a hefty 60 insight and are only available in the shop after players have reached a certain point in the game. But the option to purchase the stones are a welcome addition, as players can only collect one Blood Rock per playthrough of the game — two if they own Bloodborne's expansion, The Old Hunters. The option to purchase Blood Rocks with insight also gives players additional motivation to help out other players in co-op.


Today's patch also reduces the cost of purchasing Blood Chunks from the Insight Shop. Those chunks cost just 20 insight, down from 30.
According to From Software's patch notes, the strength and stamina cost for several unspecified weapons has also been adjusted.
