There still is some stuff missing. Plus I feel like this is already on the wiki. But here is some more info, Crystal Golems crystal aoe slam now causes curse and all types of rolls have received a slightly faster use and recovery time. Those are just two that came to mind.

There's a list for when the PC came out, as well. You should give that a look-see to see if there's anything there, as the difference between Dark Souls pre-DLC and the PC version is the DLC and Patch.

I added this to the list when the PC version was released, but I double-checked and it was the same for the unpatched console version. The curse effect was so weak and short that you were unable to actually get cursed from it, you'll also easily miss the curse buildup-bar popping up on screen before it disappears again, which is probably why I have never noticed it.

The points above is the 'official' patch changelog I guess. I'll have a look at the other changes and add them under 'Other changes' later.

Please add more confirmed changes and I'll try to add them to the list as well.

yes!! my devine shields now scale with faith!! this had been pissing me off for a while.

Just wondered... why would you want a divine shield? All it does it cause it to do a bit of magic damage when you use it in the right hand (not something there's any reason to do), while at the same time giving it no increase in stability.

Resonance rings actually exist on ps3 now

Ahh I see.

But yeah, there is resonance rings on PS3 now, haha.

divine shields are inportant for things like the spiked shield and pierce shield as they are used as weapons more than as shields.

what sparkly said, theyre also perfect for roleplaying. like my paladin only has devine weapons and shields.

They also patched out the the BB item duplication glitch, I think that's what's referred to as the prism dupe glitch on the wiki.

Does anyone know if the Darkmoon Cov ring was fixed to improve invasion rate? Also is there any proof that Gravelords receive humanity from BPs defeating players now?

By resonance rings are you referring to the white miracle rings that show up from time to time? Because those definitely existed on PS3 well before the patch.

Not to me, they didn't. They NEVER showed up, other than the one that's always there.

I've definitely seen them before, all over the place. Made use of them with my miracle build in fact. Who I haven't touched since months before the patch.

You sure you're not on xbox? Cause I remember a thread talking about how those rings NEVER showed up on ps3, and everyone was like "yeah, now that you mention it, I never see them." Other than xbox players.

Yeah I'm pretty sure. Wait a sec and I'll check. Yup. Definitely don't own an Xbox.
Maybe it has something to do with Way of the Whiting? My only miracle users are both Way of the Whiter's and I used to use them pretty frequently in common pvp areas, like the AL bridge, and the first couple areas in the painted world, to blast people with extra powerful WoG's.

Perhaps, but I've been in WoW, and I didn't see any. *shrug* I also have a moderate NAT type and a 1.5mb download speed and a .7 upload speed.

Bleh.

Maybe it was just glitched or something and didn't show up as much as it should have? Who knows. I was never even aware of there being a problem with them though. I know of at least a few of them that I think are the one's you mean that are always there, like the one's in the room adjacent to the canyon in the catacombs, there's another too but I can't recall where exactly, and I've definitely encountered them in other places plenty of times.

I don't doubt that there was a problem with them, but they definitely existed. I'm positive

So do DLC items appear with Online players even if I don't own the DLC on console?

Yes.

I never saw Resonance Rings outside of the Catacombs, but those were always there pre-1.06-patch.

And is it possible to obtain said items if I do not own the DLC?

.. Maybe..

Lol that's the only question I've been wanting an answer for since I heard it was coming to console.

I haven't done it, but it's theoretically possible.
