Glad to see Madness weapons getting a drop rate boost—my inventory was looking a little too sane before this patch. Now if only they’d tweak Libra’s aggression so I don’t have to panic-roll through the entire fight.

Nice to see Madness weapons getting some love—maybe now I won’t have to farm for hours just to stand a chance against Libra. Though knowing FromSoft, they probably snuck in a stealth nerf somewhere to keep us on our toes Bug fixes are always welcome, but I’m low-key hoping the next patch adds a ‘hug’ emote for when the Nightreign DLC inevitably breaks my spirit again.
