At last, patch 1.05 is out. Finally nonelemental weapons will have decent scaling for people outside of Japan.
So far, the main thing I've noticed is, Gwyn is now EXCESSIVELY stronger than he was before. On my NG+ character I've now died 37 times straight on him, half of which I did not even get a hit in on him before dying. I'm about 30 levels over average NG+ level, too. Even abusing parry doesn't do crap; with my hardest hitting weapon and Hornet Ring on I do 1500 damage, and that's not even 1/7th of his total...it seems like all of his combos have gone up in damage tremendously, and even in number of attacks. It can break Havel's Shield guard in under a full combo.
