Demon's Souls Celebrates Xmas With Easier Difficulty
Written Sunday, December 18, 2011 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

From this Friday just gone (16th December), Atlus has been celebrating the impending holiday season with the global Pure White World Tendency event on Demon's Souls, shifting the game's world of Boletaria into a temporarily easier state, making life a little less tough for players while the servers are still active.

Demon's Souls' Pure White World Tendency will last until January 2nd, 2012 making it far simpler to progress, while unlocking previously inaccessible areas and items. With Atlus extending the lifespan of the Demon's Souls online multiplayer servers, there's never been a better time to delve into the dungeons and tackle the challenges that Boletaria presents.

Demon's Souls is still currently available for the bargainous MSRP of $19.99, so perhaps some Christmas time dungeon crawling is the way to go. For more info, visit the official Demon's Souls website.

Have this game but haven't played it yet. Obviously is a good time to start, but does anybody know if it will make a huge difference?

I'm surprised that Demon's Souls still has a large following, especially with the release of Dark Souls not too long ago.

@2 big difference mate, especially for the first playthrough, on later playthroughs it wont matter so much as you alrdy know where everything is and the easiest way to kill things, but doesnt this indirectly screw anyone from the plat in that time? when I got the plat the getting white tendancy was very simple just kill a few bosses and always die in the nexus, but getting black was a pain in the ass, 7 deaths as a human in 5 different worlds all for a few items each, and black tendancy is required for the plat as you need to collect all items, also blacker tendancy gives better drop rates, I had to do an extra playthrough as far as 4-3 to get those stupid lizards to drop the item I needed to make last item for plat and that was with the sword of searching and black tendancy, seems to me that this isnt that great a thing lol

thats true but thats just turning off the easy option, it just seems theres not really a huge bonus to using this >.< lol although when i think of it its a double edged sword, if anyone done the PBWT events already and need the PWWT tendancies then this is a major bonus, typical demons souls, gotta think long and hard before ya do anything haha

@2 To answer your question:
The effects of PWWT:
Decreases enemy HP, attack and defence power
Enemies drop fewer upgrade stones
Enemies drop more healing items.
Attack power is increased in Soul Form. Increases 10% at White, and 20% at Pure White. Stacks with Character Tendency
Events of PWWT:

@5 Yes you have to be online in order for PWWT to have any effect on your gameplay.

PWWT stands for "Pure White World Tendency" just in case anyone doesn't know. I hope that helps.

Pure White World Tendency. Great news for people that need trophies for this game because you need PWWT to collect several weapons needed for the "collected all weapons" trophy. Lucky for you guys.

Do all these people know anything about demons souls? Look at your trophy list does it say anywhere that trophies are required to be online ? No! And that is because online is NOT needed to platinum this game. The only difference is without online, shifting WT can be a bitch because you pretty much talking about a new game before you can get back to any given tendancy.

So stop crying about not getting your plats because the only thing stopping you getting them is the game not the servers

@8 lol Why would changing YOUR PS3's internal clock have anything to do the information the server sends your game?

This is cool as when I was playing it I knew that they occasionally did world tendancy changes for halloween and valentines etc, but it never happened when I was playing it. But yeah, as already mentioned you need to get both Pure White AND Pure Black world tendancy during a playthrough for platinum as both have different areas, items, characters etc that only appear in a specific tendancy. So this will maybe help you progress further if it's your first playthrough as enemies are a bit easier, but overall it doesn't help you for the platinum much. In fact it'd we wise to play offline to make sure your world tendancies don't get affected by the server when doing all the stuff that needs to be done.

But I'm very pleased to hear the servers are continuing for a while longer as I thought they shut down ages ago. I love this game and Dark Souls just as much as each other, I must try create a new character sometime for Demon's before the servers are really shut down.

This is nice of them but, it's not really needed. Once you get used to the combat this is not a hard game at all. There are a few challenging bits but nothing so bad that you need them to make the game easier.

Awesome game, but they should change the platinum name to something like "Nerfed for noobs" (if someone gets the platinum for this reason) hehehehe. I doubt it makes alot of difference anyways as it seems it only in boletaria it's being nerfed in. Wait and see.

@21: Says the one who doesn't capitalize letters and leaves out proper interpunctuation. No problem, but then don't complain about other people being lazy.

WWT ... not much of a difference as far as gettign the Platinum is concerned. Platinuming this game is far beyond simply playing through it or "beating" it. Easier enemies won't help you much towards Platinum and WWT actually gives you worse drop rates.

That's why 19's suggestion doesn't make much sense, though it seems to have been a joke anyways. You will have to get the game to WWT at some point in order to get everything. (Maybe it's possible to skip it by having another player give you items?)

Its a shame Sony dont buy up the game server of this and keep it running its been such a sleeper hit that the sequel has even sold well heck sony should invest in this game period. I mean I have never played it but I love when it when 3rd party games manage to do well but because this is such a good seller Sony should at least invest in the dev team a little.

Not buy it out I am all for more dev studios and I hate corp take overs since the 90's theres hardly no one left, but 3rd party investment is what I would like to see more.

Easily one of the best games, if not the best game I've played in recent years! Glad to hear the online is still going strong. Dark Souls was awesome too. Can't go wrong!

Atlus does this every year on holidays. Pure White has horrid drop rates though, so if you are farming items you should just go offline and turn your world Pure Black for that.
