LOVING the game but 1.03 has some serious issues and the patch timing sucked.

You have no idea how miffed I am tonight that you broke the game with the patch.

BG3 has issues out the gate so here I was thinking I will play some JA3 I am REALLY enjoying it ... turns out you pushed an update that wasn't quite given enough time in the oven.

The combat movement issue is just ... this is a game about turn based combat and movement ... this is fundamental, bread and butter, 101 ... I don't wanna sound harsh but how did this one make it out the gate? Movement is broken, no matter new save, old save, difficulty, stance, AP does not equate to full movement - this is a gamekiller when you have a state governing such things.

That ontop of the machine gun nerf which arguably was warranted but unfortunately for me my char is heavy weaps/auto so ever slightly PO'd that i got a IMP with a 50% value in traits for my personal pref, I don't disagree MG's were strong but i think you overtuned it in this case, they are barely better than AR's which makes no sense at all considered the requirements and limitations by comparison.

So yea, broken combat movement and gimped IMP, the thought of starting over was bad enough but it's not even worth it when fundamental mechanics are now borked.

I hope you guys get this resolved before the weekend, if not I hope you enjoy your weekend you got a great game here, honestly as a new comer to JA I am seeing things i prefer compared to XCOM which i thought was the pinnacle of the genre but damn it I wish you had gave 1.03 a lil more time in the oven because it feels like a huge amount fun just got sucked out the game.

Thanks for reading, apologies if i sound a bit "peeved" it's just been on of those days and JA3 was my escape for this evening which has kinda .... not been an escape tonight.

ehh I beat it before the patch so whatever

Yeah, a balance patch in 3 weeks is some zoomer weirdness. Adults with jobs haven't been able to finish yet, but they shake up the balance for all the ultragamers who zipped through it 3 times in 3 weeks lol.

Feeling buyer's remorse with this patch, hard nerfs in a game where you're a small squad facing 10-30 enemies regularly is really bad game design. The hardcore do-nothing-else-but-play-games people need to not be listened to as hard, it really has a detrimental effect overall. Not just in this game.

Yeah it is kind of a mess of a patch. The movement bug is frustrating to say the least. I can work around the changes to machineguns, but its really tackled best with a campaign restart. (frustrating) This is partly why I'm relying on mods for a lot of fixes/buffs right now, but it also means I'm hedging my bets on whether a patch breaks one of those too.
