Is the bleed build + Carthus Rouge still broken?

Wow, could armor be worth a shit now?
I seriously have my doubts.
Carthus Rouge will be nerfed while bleed infusions buffed.

Bloodborne patch incoming...
Great news for Dark Souls 3. I am not a fan of heavier armor weighing more though. It's already hard to wear medium sized armor with a few choice weapons (none that are heavy) and fast rolling. You need a ton of points into Endurance. Also, I love the idea of the increased frame rate...
...but Bloodborne needs a Pro patch, as well.

I don't expect 60fps -- I just expect another noticeable improvement.
Boost Mode already helps to some extent.

Has a GOTY version been announced yet?
I just gave you "insider" info.
Dang. 45FPS. Interesting.
Will Bloodborne receive a FPS patch as well?
Why would you expect that?

Man, I wish. All I really want is an arena mode like DS3 has for Bloodborne. Can you imagine? I would straight up buy the game again for that.

Almost give up platinum DS 3 due to the frame rate.. Now maybe I could jump back..
Supersampling? Or better AA?
Though, I get it. From aren't exactly technical wizards, never have been. I wouldn't call them lazy, but given that they had support from Japan Studio they could have taken better advantage of that in the past.
They are definitely one of my top 3 devs out there, but I'm not expecting much from them on that regard. A locked 30 with the frame pacing ironed out, add in some Supersampling and it would be amazing.
Variable framerates with no option to cap them can lead to another FF xv scenario (a game I love to bits and want to play cause of the extra hunts, content, level cap, and still haven't updated the game cause I can't stand variable fps). Let's see if they give us the option. I'm leaning towards no.
And another thing. Didn't Sony mandate that no MP oriented games could ever have fps bumps, exceeding the base target for the og version? You know, so that pro players couldn't have an unfair advantage? If the game is indeed getting bumped to 45fps+/- that could lead to that scenario. How will they handle that?

I haven't purchased the game yet (I have Bloodborne to play first) but this patch will definitely influence my platform of choice.
Beast mode only gives the game access to higher gpu a cpu clocks. A Pro patch gives the game access to TWO slightly higher clocked gpus and the higher cpu clock.
Performance/quality improvements comes down to how From spends those extra resources.
60 fps should be a walk in the park for the Pro, it is From Software we're talking about...

Bolded is a guess on your part, that's all I'm saying. The CPU has proven the limit for many would-be 60fps upgrades and you and I aren't familiar with what Froms profiling looks like. And yeah I'd expect it to have more going on than a remastered last gen title built for the limits of last gen CPUs, even if the remaster adds some more extras.
I'd just say people shouldn't set themselves up to be let down if it's an uncapped increased framerate that's not a locked 60, for the modest CPU boost.

I hate to be negative, but this is what I think will happen.
Fingers crossed it doesn't.
Edit: for clarification I'm expecting a variable 45-55 ish framerate, wouldn't be surprised if it was lower.

Yes. See you on Friday.

Good question. I am also wondering whether the "Fire Fades" edition will be compatible with my vanilla save.

The balance changes are giving me life. Nerfed bleed build and curved swords, katana running stab got nerfed and all of its other attacks got speed buffs? I can dust off my ol' Uchi again.

Expect it to be bad, you wont be far wrong. These guys are massively talented in all areas bar performance.

Cue the massive shitstorm on here when the frame rate for pro is unlocked and is all over the place between 30 and 60 like final fantasy 15 is. With no option to keep it locked at the original 30.....
pretty done

This game being patched instead of Bloodborne is going to be the biggest crime of the gen. SIGH come on From

Maybe it's because I've not long woken up, but some of the notes even a little unclear. An example being "Along with the above, adjusted hollow". Buffed? Nerfed? Improved animation patches too - improved in what way? I'm looking forward to seeing the weapon changes most, I'm not too fussed about the rest. Daggers are currently woeful, something I was reminded of in a new game recently.
Doubtful
Almost certainly yes. These complete editions are often just game+DLC. Which is why the above answer is almost certainly no. It's not a SOTFS release.

I hope you like your frames paced.

Why would they patch an ancient game that hasn't been touched in years instead of the latest release with upcoming new content and even further patches?
