Recently my Dark Souls 2 on 360 was updated. I'm not sure if there is any documentation or patch notes, but it feels like a couple of things have been tweaked. Mind you I could be imagining all of this...

-More forgiving weapon durability

-More invincibility frames during rolls

-Invincibility frames during back stab animation

Again, I could be completely off base here. Has anyone else noticed this?

Edit: Demoskinos beat me to it. Oh well!

I'm glad they made the successful summon = humanity restored bug into a permanent feature.

I wonder what the sex change coffin dialog box says.

"-Successful Online coop with white / small sigh stone will now revive you back to human"

Didn't it already do this?

"-bug which caused souls to be lost while equipping life protection ring has been fixed"

Holy shit that's horrible!

Occasionally. They stated it was a bug.

Thank God because I thought they just made it extremely convoluted on purpose. I think I got revived back to human more often when I failed during co-op than if we succeeded. In fact out of the dozens of times I helped people in boss fights I don't think I EVER revived to human. It always somehow happened when I died or if the host backed out or something.

Also now that they mention it - did the control vibrate when guarding? I can't remember..

For some reason the patch appears to have not gone up on the PS3 yet.

@yummylee: I'm pretty sure this is the patch that the PS3 got last week. The Xbox still didn't have it.

Well if that's the case it doesn't work, because I've definitely cooped bosses since then as a summon and not get revived.

Yeah, I was getting the disabled soapstone bug the other day too, so I hope that wasn't the patch.

These patch notes were just announced a few days ago, I don't think they've said a release date yet.

Uh also I have been able to backstab without being "hit out of it" for some time now, like since launch day... Are we sure PS3 got this patch and this stuff wasn't just left out of 360 for some reason?

@karkarov: Yep backstabs have very heavy damage reduction frames for much of the animation, the difference is that they become vulnerable before and after the animation; this has likely been part of the game for at least several months.
