Oh boy, so today, guess what happened? Elden Ring’s servers kinda took a nap for about an hour. Why, you ask? Well, they were getting ready for this new patch thing. It’s got the fancy number 1.01.2, but don’t get too hyped — it’s not one of those monster updates.
Alright, so what’s the deal with this patch? Mostly fixing bugs, right? But the big thing is nerfs. Yes, you heard me, nerfs! One thing got nerfed so quietly you might’ve missed it.
Wait, was that important? Oh well, moving on — last week had a patch too. That one was 1.01.1, dropped on June 2 (by the way, did you take out the trash on June 2? I totally forgot). This new patch doesn’t have any mind-blowing features or anything, just two balance fixes that caught my eye.
Here’s the kicker: bows had this weird thing where if you added magic or something, they got stupid strong. I mean, people were rushing to use them — makes sense, right? But turns out it was just a bug. Whoops. Now it’s fixed, and some folks might cry a little.
Then there’s this sneaky thing with certain weapon skills. They weren’t supposed to be all powerful, but they were — so yeah, that got patched too.
Oh, and by the way, there’s a funky little bug fix that lets weapons with a special effect show up in chests and stuff. You’re welcome if you’re on the hunt for the elusive Demon Merchant in Limveld. Yup, now the merchant will actually show up when they’re supposed to. Go figure.
Anyway, here’s kinda what’s in the update:
– That whole magic-bow-power thing? Gone. Poof.
– Non-direct attacks behaving like little overpowered minions? Also fixed.
– Can’t find certain weapons in chests? Fixed that too.
– Demon Merchant says hi — finally.
– Crazy creature Libra doing its thing too often? Not anymore.
– Adel, some Baron dude, causing game crashes? Sorted.
– Okay, this is wild: grabbed by Wormface, couldn’t be rescued? That bug, too, is history.
The devs mentioned bugs might be like, “Hey, I’m still here!” But they’re tackling that. Does it mean we’ll see the same bugs again or totally new ones? Who knows.
Anyway — wait, what was I talking about… Oh, right. Hopefully, all this server downtime didn’t interrupt whatever mystery you’re chasing with Nightreign’s rare item. But fret not, our trusty guide is never down. Seriously, go hit it up if you’ve got any questions.
Phew, that was a trip. Alright, till next time, friends!
