yo the bro chase guys here

I am so glad that "Inappropriate Activity Detected" thing was an actual bug, because I was losing my mind thinking I was gonna get banned for doing nothing wrong. It would just randomly appear, whether I was actually playing online or not.

"i dont have experience with NPC's glitching out" -Chase *Igon dragonclawing his way across the ocean by now* u wot mate?

Finally someone who reviews the patch and tests it out at the same! Much love for you chase! Keep it up! 💯

Nanaya's torch is still crazy strong.

I like how they didn't actually improve PC performance, they're just like, "turn off ray tracing."

Nobody was using those two throwing weapons because the range was exceptionally awful. I’m pretty sure there were a few longer colossal weapons that hit further. They were basically just bad melee weapons.

SWIFT SLASH IS PATCHED MIYAZAKI MY LIFE IS YOURS

The backhand blade fix is referring to its uncharged heavy attack. Previously this has a massive delay before you’d be able to roll out of it for some reason.

Hey, I just wanted to take some time to say thank you for including video reference where you could to go along with the patch notes. Anyone can sit in front of a webpage and read it out, so I appreciate you taking the extra time to actually demonstrate some of the changes.

Lightning perfume really got nerfed into the ground lol

for those wondering i've been consistently using both the smithscript daggers and circus throughout my playthrough, and the range seems to be about 50% longer. (obviously take this info for what it is: just mere perception and no data to support it)

Every new game or big patch in the soulslike series has at least one case where buffs or status build-up from one weapon is applied to the weapon held in the other hand. You'd think they'd be checking on that by now. I also wish they wouldn't overnerf so much. There's a middleground between too strong and unnecessarily weak and it sure looks like Rolling Sparks and perfume weapons in general blew right past it.

that spirit summon patch is a GODSEND. i'd summon my mimic tear and he'd genuinely do nothing but stand there and walk around for like 5 minutes before finding the boss

Everyone asks who is the bro he is chasing. But never WHY he is chasing the bro. Bobobobo

smithscript daggers were okay b4 this patch but now they feel awful to use, so little dmg.

Thanks for making this update vid Chase. Like how you have lost as the test subject for the changes

Unfortunately... -*Light of Miquella* STILL can't be buffed by the *Dryleaf Seal* or the *Circlet of Light* -*Furious Blade of Ansbach* STILL does not apply Bleed -*Bayle's Tyranny* STILL can't be boosted by the *Roar Medallion* (Although, the hitboxes seem to have been fixed; unlisted) -*Impenetrable Thorns* is STILL stupid -*Blind Spot* is STILL stupid (Mainly in PvP) -*Carian Sovereignty* is STILL stupid (Mainly in PvE)

I believe the gazing finger change is a buff, I deal more damage post patch with the same str faith build!

When I watched Lost’s video, I knew that was your character 😂

I'm a bit sad at the perfume nerfs. They nerfed it to the ground. What they should have done was just reduce the damage it by around 50-60%. The nerfed damage sucks and made it not really worth using anymore compared to most of the other new weapons.

2:40 for me i noticed that on golden vow. If i used golden vow and then went to use rolling sparks it dealt no damage.

“i don’t have a lot of spirit summon experience” nice flex

Rolling sparks was fun while it lasted lmao

6:24 i'm guessing this just means Thiollier isn't afraid to join the battle anymore

Yo bro thanks for your consistency you have been uploading souls invasion forever. I really appreciate it bro 💪🏾

i can finally use the fire knights greatsword honestly, thank you miyazaki

I see the greatsword of damnation is working as intended 😊

We asked for a Nerf, not an extinction 😂 Although, yes, some of these really did need a nerf but it was not as much as the weapon itself, but the things that can go with it

I was trying out the smithscript cirques this morning. Range was good as long as the opponent was on the same plain....It did not connect at all if there was any kind of up or down level change.

Watching this at work 😅 love the videos chase .

The key with the golden hippo that I found to avoid his grab attack was to aim the dodge for either corner of his mouth. Glad that they changed that though it was bs

The perfume bottle build was scary

the carian sword imo is performing best at 50 int and some dex. At 50 int, its sorcery scaling is the highest available, lets you do a staff of loss x carian sword setup that's just as good as double staff, but with an r1 and impaling thrust After 50 int, you only gain 1 point of AR per int point, despite its S scaling. Seems like it was made to be THE casting option for 50 int aow builds

6:23 I actually noticed that bug when I was fightng Rellana. This wasn't just limited to Tiche, though. It was a thing with all of the destined death stuff in my experience.

Love the vids :) always glad to see a Chase upload

Carian sword is now one of the best catalysts, still not as good as an actual high tier staff (which is good) but it's now a very good spell blade choice.

Very good patch note summary, appreciate the testing! I don’t really pvp much, but I ran into like 8 people with that swift slash build and it definitely needed a nerf lol

This video helps alot chase, thanks a million 🙏🏽

And thank God for it. I still have hope the next updates will really improve the pvp, so heres to hoping! On that note TY for keeping up with the series over the years and for the extremely consistent daily uploads youre awesome man, i greatly appreciate you and your content!

Chase!!! I've been watching for a long time, I love your videos. I would love to see more of the losses during invasions, however! And hopefully some dryleaf arts invasions :D

At 40 lvls of int the carian sword is actually the best cast tool for magic, so for lvl 90 invasions seems like a good option for dex/int builds.

I'm really really glad to see Chase and Lost doing more vids together and helping each other out. It makes me happy seeing my two favorite ER content creators working together

I was using the Smithscript Cirque on my main runthrough just because I loved the vibe, and they had to have at least doubled the range. It seriously used to stop five feet from your face, this is massive

I really enjoy the Black Knife Tiche personally, so I saw this bug a lot. When fighting a boss especially, I'd see when the max health cut off that's always applied with the Blade of Death skill, the health would go back up some too when the effect stopped. I initially thought it was a visual thing cuz it's reducing max health, but I was right in my gut all along, it seems. I think this was an issue for a very long time, as I would see this pre-DLC too.

Carian Sorcery Sword is actually fun now with the S scaling in int. Comparable to carian regal scepter at 40 int or lower, and only slightly worse at 80 A neat quirk I noticed, if you dual wield it in your offhand with another rapier, your L2 gets overridden, it’ll no longer be your ash of war button, but become your spell casting button

The R2 with the backhand blade used to lock you there for almost 2 second after attacking

2:41 I encountered that issue a few times. It happened when I would go through an extremely overkill buffing routine to try to one shot the bosses lol

Hmm. Let’s see how this plays out going forward. I was enjoying having an offhand perfume bottle with my martial arts. Might be time to try out the smithscripts. Shame I won’t get the bonkers AR from a cold build anymore.

I felt that the smithscript cirque on invasions were strong when using flame art infusion. Usually with endure I could out trade hosts/ sun bros. I actually really liked the throw attacks. Good for poking from a distance and keeping pressure on when they’re running away. Throwing them while jumping away is also nice. The throw range buff is definitely welcome.

The backhand heavy recovery cancel was only for the cirques in pretty sure. You could roll out of the attack before the second projectile was thrown

You're the goat of this community bro. Thank you for the patch notes and for the real time test

Tears in the shape of rolling sparks lmao

Carian Sorcery Sword will be a pretty fun invasion/dueling tool after the buffs.

The summon NPC bug is most likely refering to sir Thiollier's summon at the final boss fight. He would just stand still without entering the boss arena after being summoned even if you start the boss fight.

Love the coop with Lost. 2 of my fav Invasion streamers working together ❤️

I heard the patch made nanaya’s torch even more OP, you should check it out

Really disappointed that the Smithscript weapon scaling got pretty gutted, especially since the Erdsteel Dagger has the same effect and that was okay. At least Claws of Night remains untouched (for now).

That black knife tiche glitch makes so much sense 😭 I wondered why it looked like their health came back drastically

The Perfume Bottles they fixed the one shot by removing all but 1 explosion if you aimed it straight down, and that was the change to rolling sparks itself. OnlyWaifu's video reviewing the patch shows the collision boxes of the attack with before and after to show it getting modified. Wouldn't surprise me if they also changed it to be like Radagon's Rings of Light, where if you got hit with any of the 16 collision boxes you'd take the damage you'd only take 1 instance of damage.

The smithscript cirques buff is HUGE, it looks like they doubled the range on them (i used them a lot), have to play around with it myself for sure.

Nanaya's torch for it is unchanged

Due to the recent perfume nerfs, I think only the deadly poison one is viable now since it can be used to activate poison buffs(shroom helm, rot talisman and poison glove) for a huge damage boost to your other weapons

Iron jar aromatic face trade strat worked disgustingly well against Rellana and Messmer

Hoping we get to see a Smithscript showcase soon. Feel like these weapons are much stronger then they're getting credit for. Especially the shield. Having it in your left hand and uses the ash sets and up a delayed attack. It opens up tons of roll catch and mix up opportunities. The hammer is hoot to yeet at things as well.

The offhand affinity glitch with the madness torch is still working

The bug with the black knight dagger or the summon, I notice with radanh, when he change to second phase and cleanse all effects he appears with more health that the one he have in first phase

heres hoping this one was getting all the urgent wacky stuff patched in prep for a patch dedicated to bringing all the just generally underpowered stuff up to par

that tiche bug has been in the game since day 1 of elden ring release too. crazy that they just got around to fixing it 2 years later but still a good fix nonetheless

they haven't found Anbach's Bow >:)

6:24 I experienced this whenever i tried to summoned thiollier at consort radahn he'd stand still for a minute or 2 before entering the fog gate

Honestly the hard nerf wave was needed for some things. But the smith script and other already bad weapons mixed with all of the general nerfs that made things totally useless is rough.

As far as I could tell the bug with "Inappropriate Activity Detected" was an issue with EAC. It HEAVILY effected linux and the steamdeck a lot. Once the DLC came out I had done so many different things to try and fix it on my end that I ended up reinstalling the game and then deleting the EAC folder entire then verified my files and that ended up fixing it for me on my Linux PC but not for my steamdeck. Glad to hear that they finally fixed it completely.

I was hoping to do more on my Arcane build with the Chicken Leg, but alas it's been nerfed... Maybe keep using Elenora's Pole Blade with Rotten Wing, Alexanders shard, and the Lord of Bleed thingy...

I understand this is an emergency patch they made super fast but goddamn I hope they buff perfumes cause it could be so good if the damage wasn't so lackluster for it's moveset

Excellent update as always. Glad to see your channel continuing to grow bro. \[T]/🌞

MIYAZAKI! ADD MORE THROWING DAGGERS AND BACKHAND BLADES IN AN UPDATE AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!

Im just happy I got a few invasion in with the fire knights greatsword before it got nerfed. I started NG+6 and wanted to get to the dlc as fast a possible and used the sword for Varre's quest. I dont pvp but that thing was easy mode

The rolling sparks nerf definitely was needed but it was over done imo. I haven't tested anything out personally just yet but from what I saw it's unusable now. I'm assuming it's worse in pve by a longshot as well

i like how u show us what change tnx

Yeah about the gazing finger when I leveled faith it wouldn't increase the damage at all.

thank you goats for the testing

We getting a fun and fair pvp experience with this one 💯

Smithscript hammer went from 970 AR (which was honestly a lot for 2-type) to 807 AR on holy infusion with 42 str/72 faith, that hurt a lot It still serves its purpose by being an actual taunt button on heavy attack at least, and prayerful strike is bonkers but i feel like i would be more useful by using any other greathammer, might not be right though

now they just need to fix the sleep machine gun!

The back hand blade dodge delay was crazy. When two handing if you did an uncharged r2 you'd be stuck in tecover for probably 1.5 seconds or so. So its a welcome change.

Chase there is a funny build now of dream that is with the crossbow and the needle that gives thioler in the dlc.

My brother might get disappointed that the hippo spike throwing beyblade attack wasn't buffed...

A lot of incantations needs a buff: Bloom, divine butterflies, divine beast tornado, divine bird feathers, rain of fire, watchful spirit. All of them do practically no damage and it's sad. Also furious blade of ansbach doesn't proc bleed.

for the backhand blades "fixed a bug that prevented players from cancelling the attack recovery of two-handed strong attacks by rolling for certain weapons of the backhand blades weapon type" patch note, uncharged dual-wield heavy attacks on the scimitar-looking backhand blades had a weird bug where you wouldn't be able to roll for a solid second after the attack came out. you could keep attacking basically right after, but the roll delay was unreasonably long. glad they patched that, they feel a lot better now

I’m glad they increased the smithscript dagger range. They seemed so cool but felt almost worthless in my experience. I’ll have to try them out again now

Swift slash with bleed infusion was absolutely ridiculous. I was invaded by a lightning infused one and almost died, after that i went straight to the place to get the ash of ear. Bleed infused the swords with it ans was invaded 4 times and ibwas able to take them out with 2 uses

Now, it'll be hard to run my l'Or d' j'Adore by Christian Dior build.

Time to use swift slash now that it's reasonable!

Nooo i loved that fire knight greatsword R1 true combo

No one shot op anymore 😂

Chase my man, Ansbach’s longbow right now is the best bow. It’s ash of war allows you to deal a 1500 damage with a single arrow due to good ol fromsoft spaghetti code and instant status effect.

The recovery frames for the backhand strong attack were extremely long. You could only cancel it by doing blind spot or another attack

i used the black knife on my build i can say 100% that PVE still regan health after the affect wears off, I've seen it multiple times after the patch but doesn't happen everytime.

Im surprised there werent any spell/incant changes, in particular the thorn spell being able to bleed up to 6 times in a single cast at point blank. Agreed that perfumes were over-nerfed, but it seems like a fair patch overall.
