Mysterious ones. XD This is FromSoft... they don't say anything. even after the patch.
Heres a quote:
"The efficiency of the following categories has been adjusted: Short Sword, Twinsword and Magic."
So buff of some sort it seems.

hope to god the spell changes aren't inline with what they did in DS2. They destroyed spells with some of those patches.

Regulation 1.06 is live. Any Straight Sword or Twin Sword user might want to give their weapons a look. Stamina consumption, swing speed and base AR values.
Prooobably just damage as far as spells are concerned.

Seems that Straight Sword R1 attack now based on weapon weight. It also seems to consume a tiny bit more stamina than before. R2 attacks, I can't tell, but they seem to be about the same as before.
I mean, it could have been this way before. I wasn't really paying attention, but I'm fairly certain it's a new change. It's mildly sad though, because it costs the same amount of stamina to swing the Dark Sword and Irithyll Straight sword as it does to swing a Claymore.

To be honest, the Dark Sword was (and still is) extremely powerful. It's damage, range and low stamina consumption is kinda obscene.

Yeah, that's why I was going on and on about Great Magic Shield the other week. Get the same result with a mid shield at 18 STR/18 INT, albeit you don't block while attacking.

Farron Greatsword shits on that build. L1 combo swings you behind and you're basically guaranteed 600-700 damage.

Just like at the end. Blind Spot, Shield Splitter, and Darkdrift skills will penetrate it as well.
In case you didn't watch the end: A silver knight with spear joined in and destroyed him with the spear's shield splitter skill.

It's still hilariously effective against many builds. You need stuff that bypasses the shield, else you're in trouble.

So I kinda wasn't fussed about spoilers because Souls are very lore based but I don't want to spoil this one with regards to the area I hit yesterday. The return of Anor Londo and it's been snowing o_O, it seems like the area got scaled down a bit, maybe not massively but the boss freaking ate Gwyndolin, OK you don't see it but it happened.
Was worried when they had brought back the rooftop death gauntlet of DS1 but glad they toned it down a bit.

Iron Keep is just... rage inducing. The enemies aren't hard but they are clumped together like roaches. soon as you enter an entire army will aggro you. I might just skip smelter demon and move the *** on.

Short sword is apparently just a wonky translation for Dagger.
I'm hearing spells are stronger now, but no substantial testing has been done to the best of my knowledge.

Hmm. Wonder if Darkmoon Blade/Lightning Blade got changed. Before the only difference was their element.
