Okay, so here’s the deal. I woke up today, grabbed my coffee—still half asleep, mind you—and found out Elden Ring Nightreign servers just…poof…went offline. Just like that. Apparently, it was for maintenance because a new patch was coming out. It’s not a big one though, just 1.01.2. Kind of feels like a drizzle when you’re expecting a storm, you know?
So, these patch things—they’re mostly bug fixes. But this one did some sneaky stuff too. Like nerfs. Yeah, they snuck in and zapped some power out of bows. I didn’t even realize bows were beefed up because of a bug. Ever had that happen? You think you’re doing amazing, then bam! Turns out it wasn’t you, just a glitch.
Right, and then there’s this thing where some weapon skills—non-direct attacks or whatever—were acting like they had extra spice. Like they packed more punch than a cold brew on a Monday morning. They fixed that too. Supposedly, those weapons are normal now. Whatever “normal” means in this game.
Ah, the visuals—there’s this dude, or maybe it’s a lady—I’m not great at spotting these things—standing around in Limgrave with the sky all purple. Kinda eerie, kinda cool. Like a scene you’d remember and wonder about later when you’re brushing your teeth.
Oh, and about the chests—those with the Projectile Damage Drop-Off thingy? They’ve finally found their way back into the game. Cheers to that, I guess. People on that mission to find some Demon Merchant in Limveld? They’ve got reasons to smile now. The merchant wasn’t showing up before, like ever. But now? You’re good to go.
Anyway—wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah, the patch notes. They laid them out. A list of tiny tweaks and nudges. No big game changers except for those bugs. And yeah, sometimes the devs fix bugs but then warn us, “Hey, there might be new ones lurking.” Like a never-ending whack-a-mole.
But don’t let this downtime crush your gaming spirit. There’s some rare item in Nightreign everyone’s buzzing about. Questlines, mysteries—all the fun stuff. If you’re stuck, there’s a guide out there that’s like your nerdy best friend who knows too much about Elden Ring. So, no worries, just dive back in.
