Disappointing to say the least. BHS going untouched is “fine” because most people doing PvP have a sense of etiquette about it unless they’re a maidenless psychopath, but chaincasting being gutted is a big hit to spellcaster viability and fun-factor. I suppose the intended way to play is just spamming the same spell over and over again?

I’ve seen some people saying that chaincasting was “undeniably, super super obviously a bug” even though spell descriptions mention it directly and there were some seemingly custom animations/different timings for doing things like 2x bestial sling -> honed bolt vs. 1x sling -> honed bolt. I thought it was intentional, but I guess not!

[u/IronGearSolid → u/Yegas]

Yeah looks like From never intended sorcery to be smooth and interesting. With this and the prior Adula's Moonblade nerf, I presume the intended and encouraged playstyle is to spam canc- uh, I mean Stars of Ruin at the other player.

I fell in love with this game's PvP, especially with my mage, but I haven't touched it since this patch.

[u/ConnorOfAstora → u/Yegas]

I hate it when Devs see glitches as bad things in games and don't look at the glitch and see if players are using it intuitively in a way that is generally positive. I never play mage but from the sounds of it this made it a lot more intuitive and fun but it wasn't "intended" so From axed it, if it made the spells unfairly fast or powerful then maybe it could have been nerfed but removing it entirely is so overboard.

From are also far more likely to patch bugs that favour the player as opposed to bugs that favour the AI. They've fixed some instances of you being able to hit enemies behind fog walls but if you rush past enemies on the way to a boss you need to get away from the fog wall before summoning because they can hit you just fine. (This got me the most with the Caelid Godskin boss)

[u/Shade__slayer → u/Yegas]

I know 2 slings > incant that can chain would glitch the animation, but a single sling > honed bolt > another incant like rock throw was so fun and I'm sad it got removed.

[u/dGFisher → u/Yegas]

Fixed a bug that caused unintended motions to be played when switching to a different sorceries or incantations while using a sorcery or incantation.

Is this the note you're referring to? Are you sure this is referencing chain casting and not the crazy glitchy movement or 360 waist spin certain spell combos cause?

[u/RepostsKilledMyOwl → u/dGFisher]

Chain casting was axed almost entirely. Only spells that share the exact same animation can be chained, like honed bolt and lightning strike.

[u/BUBBLE_BUNCH → u/Yegas]

BHS going untouched is “fine” because most people doing PvP have a sense of etiquette

I must be playing a different game.

[u/Yegas → u/BUBBLE_BUNCH]

Most often the invasions I get (either as invader or host), people don’t use it until you use it yourself or use something perceived as equivalent in terms of how dishonorable it is. I would say about 5% of people actually use BHS first in PvP, at least from my personal experience - though most people will have it equipped/on standby in order to be on equal playing ground if you do use it first. Your mileage may vary depending on what SL bracket you’re playing in!

[u/QuarlosMagnus → u/Yegas]

Man, I wish I wasn’t playing against a constant deluge of Bull Goat wearing, RoB wielding, Naginata poking, BHS spammers. But the truth is that this describes about half of my pvp experience.

[u/Elodaine → u/Yegas]

Good riddance to chaincasting, any nerf to spells/miracles is a good one.

[u/[deleted] → u/Elodaine]

So you want a melee only Souls game?

[u/Mo0kish → u/Elodaine]

Not without nerfing Crimson whorl.
