MMOEXP: Elden Ring subreddit who tested the patch estimated
The patch was able to, thankfully solve a specific flaw players had been playing to destroy PvP. The Deathblight patch combines with the Eclipse Shotel weapon with the Fire's Deadly Sin incantation to build up the death curse quickly on opposing players and sometimes cause them to repeat backstab animations. In the past, the Elden Ring Runes community was split on whether it was a bug or a legitimate part of the game, but it's gone. There are some PvP players who weren't aware of the exploit was patched have still been trying to exploit it, only to be promptly cut off when it fails.
Sword of Night and Flame was a build that was thought to be damaged. In the Caria Manor, the weapon's Night-and Flame Stance skill enabled players to follow up an attack with the Comet Azur sorcery to cause many fire-related damage at a distance. It could cause massive destruction to unsuspecting PvP participants, yet it was also easily countered by those who were aware of what they were doing. In PvE in contrast it was another OP capability that players were enjoying. Even the latest patch made it more nerfy, however. The Moonveil Katana wasn't mentioned in the patch notes at all however it was apparently stealth-patched to lengthen the animation of combat.
This is where things get tricky with making sweeping changes to a game that some players view as an offline experience for single players. "Literally just got the Sword of Night and Flame last evening in Elden Ring, since I could not find a sword I like," a player on Twitter wrote. "Poured *every resource I had into it* after I was told it was good, but then I was instructed to update my game. This update, it turns out, has nerfed the game to death."
While some of patch 1.03 brought new content to the game or fixed existing broken quests The majority of the patch altered the way you would expect someone to take a live service title. It doesn't matter if the tweaks themselves are beneficial or not, this is something Elden Ring Items for sale players will need to fight, assuming FromSoftware makes more changes in its mind in the future. As of now, some players are dealing with the only way they know how: desperately searching to find the latest OP designs to take advantage of.
