Yeah, the durability nerf is just the most retarded decision I've seen on top of making less weapons spawn outside of the hot area's. Embark is really terrible at balancing.

Was going to check out the new map and such and then they upped durability to suck? Seriously why are they fucking up their game like this?

Read the notes. This is literally how they are making epic weapons better by decreasing their durability hits and making blue rare guns less durable.

it’s fucking laughable.

Increase the fire power and differentiation of the guns for Christ sake. It isn’t hard. Then this creates (gasp) actual risk to losing one rather than have most all the guns the same outside of a couple milliseconds. This isn’t hard.

Still on hiatus unless Sludig Sludig wants to check out the new map. Windrose is out and plenty of other games to play until they pull their head out of their ass.

Can’t complain too much but just pissed at the wasted potential. Got 300 hours out of it for 40 bucks.

I’m confused too. They want the purple and yellow weapons to be better so they marginally increased the durability (10%) but also decided to destroy lower tiers with a 75% durability nerf. It’s insane they went to this as the answer. Why not just buff the rarer weapon durability 50% or whatever and call it good? Balancing by nerfing everything else to make the underperforming weapons look better is baffling. I can’t imagine this won’t be reverted or heavily adjusted shortly.

There seems to be a large brewing discontent with this patch. Everything on the Reddit is negative.

This patch bothered me so much I left an neg steam review, to hopefully get it throught their thick skulls that nerfs are gay and lazy.

I would give anything to talk to one of these dev's for about 15 minutes to ask what the hell they are thinking.

Every time I launch the new map my guy can’t move and opening the menu is some weird overlay with no background. If I force close the game and relaunch (and reconnect to my current raid) it then works fine until the next raid. Anyone else seeing this? I’ve only ever had it happen once before this patch and it was my first time launching the game when I got dropped into the tutorial and thought the controls were horrific not realizing it was bugged. On PS5 Pro

Me too - they are getting pummeled and rightfully so.

Here is mine:

I used to love this game. I got my $39.99 out of it and had fun. Up until I realized that Embark cannot create any new worthwhile content that is engaging. The latest patch doesn't help. They are literally differentiating common to epic guns not from power, unique abilities, advantages in PvP/PvE to have them be sought after and useful and bring with it native risk/reward, but instead, epic guns require fewer repairs. That's it. Along with zero differentiation between epic loot and common, itemization is at a stand still. Events just switch out We need 10x of A, to now we need 5x of B the next month and they literally call this content, all with the same loot/itemization rewards received from the last 6 months which we can easily get out of going topside anyway. The expedition has become a running joke. 90% of "New content" is just a spreadsheet manipulation. Even the new Arc are just small alterations to current Arc already in game with the hornet to the firefly (Almost the same art assets) from the Fireball to the Comet (No effort) Rocketeer to the Vaporizer (Again another copy paste) With at least one unique add with the turbine. Hurricane was a reskin of Cold Snap - except now your shields deplete and not your health when not in cover. Cosmetic rotations are more or less reskins with minor alterations and even a few that just changed colors and "Added as new". And all this doesn't matter anyway because the underlying thing we are all after is new loot - of which every gun is the same across all rarities and hold no advantage based on that rarity. Items are the same, money means nothing, and rather than differentiate all of this - Embark concentrates on nerfs and time sinks which, shock, isn't fun - And quite honestly, with the knowledge of how to go about making this fun known, makes Embark appear to be doing as little as possible to shove something out the door to call it "New content". I cannot recommend until they address placing fun and original content back into the game, create meaningful differentiation between weapon sets, and keeping it fresh instead of these smoke and mirrors parlor tricks.
