" -If a player uses the Beckoning Bell or Small Resonant Bell while using a password, it will be clearly indicated that a password is in use.
-If the level difference between the host and the guest when matched using a password is large, the guest's stats will be adjusted to match the host's.
-Other bug fixes and matching improvements.
We will continue to make improvements to better the play experience."
On a related note, Sony confirmed earlier this year that Bloodborne will be getting an expansion. Sony has not gone into details just quite yet, but expect to see some more brutal and harsh levels in the months to come — perhaps at Gamescom in August.
