From Software has not yet announced a potential release date for the 1.03 title update for the PS3 and Xbox 360. “Dark Souls 2” came out for both consoles on March 11 and should be launching for the PC on April 25. The new changes should be applied to the computer version of the open-world action role-playing game when it is made available.

 

So anyone who thought these bugs, like the door glitch were just bad players, well the makers of the game just proved you were wrong, it was a bug that has stopped my progress for about 2 weeks now, and there was no real way around it. These bugs have been effecting more and more people every single day, so to all the fan boys saying this game has no flaws or bugs, and its perfect need to realize this game is even more buggy than Dark Souls 1, and it will take time for them to fix all the major bugs.

Sweet, I really hope that they release this patch soon.

I'm still wondering if the unintentional changing of items/shields/weapons/spells and accidental parrying will be changed too, especially when pressing down on L3 while running or guarding.

 

Other than that, this seems legit.

I got the patch already since I'm in asia! Glad they increased Benhart and Luca's defense!

Very interesting. Guess I actually will wait for the patch to finish my NG+ and partial NG++ run. And my new character to get those two Luca and Benhart stuff.

I'm trying to do Lica and Benhart on NG+ if it all fallls through I'll push on to NG++ for the spells and start a new run for those 2 trophies

Patch coming in next few days!

Got it already and also got all requirements for Benhart and Luca's trophies. Luca is tough, she was taking all the attacks from Smelter and had 3/4 health at the end.
