No balance changes for this update is insane
I never make reddit posts. But I guess I am the first to make a post specifically about it, so hey. I am literally so puzzled with what the hell is Embark thinking.
We can argue about changes. I personally think the blueprint rate being even lower without offering an option to exchange blueprints in game is insane, as it is kinda boring to play the lottery until you get what you want when you have more than half of the blue prints.
But the fact that they did not at all try to balance change makes me think I will drop this game.
I hope I eat my words. But it was really puzzling to not see them even attempt anything.
Come on. The last balance change was the Venator nerf. The tick grenade and the kettle was not thoughtful balancing, it was fixing the clear and obvious exploit with the clear and obvious fix, not balancing.
We can argue what they should do, and that is hard. Should they nerf the stitcher DPS, or nerf stun time instead? Cone? Or is the problem that the other grey weapons suck. Il Toro buff? Making green and blue guns cheaper to repair?
But the fact that they did not fail, but instead, didn't even try, to me, is quite concerning for the game's future.
Wanted to know what everyone else thought.
