It's Not The Same Anymore since Update 0.7.0.

[SSTB_Ed]

I've noticed since the new Update that the Game Sounds and Bugs aren't the same anymore . I don't know how to explain it, but it seemed Cartoonish or Don't have that same Punch or WoW Factor.

And I just Updated my GPU card to GTX 1060 with 6GB memory so while it runs better now as far as the FPS which stays around 50ish, My General settings are the same before the GPU upgrade so I don't know why I feel like this game isn't the same anymore. I'll keep checking my settings to see if i may have inadvertently changed something.

It may be that some damage values or such got changed, I've heard that the bugs are harder to kill, especially with fire weapons. I've also heard Stagger is bugged too, such that weapons are staggering less, which may contribute to things feeling Cartoonish, as they stumble less when shot at which would make them feel less like creatures and more like enemies in a video game that don't register damage.

The E-Pulse weapons also have a very cartoonish sound, like cheap laser noises, which is what they basically are in terms of form due to originating from the second movie, which I've heard was very cash strapped and introduced the E-Pulse weapons to help with the budget.

The physics engine probably wouldn't be helping either, since now we have Bombardiers which provide a large force from a point near to the ground, as opposed to the Grenadiers before which provided a large force from a point originating from above, leading to more massive launches of people.

As another pre-.70 player, albeit one that didn't play too much, it feels about the same to me, but I never really paid much attention to the sounds or how the bugs react, so you probably have more knowledge on this.

The few players who came back to all the hype have mostly left again, and probably for good. Number is down close to pre 0.7. It's sad to see this game keep going on its downhill trip with clueless dev guiding the way. Maybe if they stay off their cheer leading discord and try to take some advice in this forum then there might be a chance for a better outcome.

And speaking of sound, whatever happened to Pyre's sexy voice? The previous voice is perfect, the few new command lines (regarding reinforcements running low in particular) sound like an English lady with her mouth stuffed full of biscuits trying to talk.

You know what's great.. If you think the devs are clueless, you can download UE5 FOR FREE and begin developing your OWN game. You can do everything you think is right, and you can hire all the people you think will do the right thing.

Looking forward to it.

You make it seem like people on Discord have not made the same complaints as the people on Steam. Pretty much anything people here complain about, also gets complained about in Discord. Any complaints you guys here I can guarantee that I will find feedback threads on discord about the exact same thing

This is so disheartening. The game was so good during beta and the potential growth could've made this one of my favorites. But every change made this game worse. It all started with the unreal engine change man. That's when performance took a big hit and it was all downhill from there. I'm sad with the direction they took this game. Had high hopes for it honestly.

Pyre's still there with the same old voice lines. It's a different voice actor doing the lines regarding reinforcements, and clearly you've never heard an English lady speak before. For shame! XD

I'm not sure this part is true, according to Steamcharts, it's currently hovering at around 500 players, which is twice the numbers it had before the update. It's in the same order of magnitude granted, and the spike was thrice that at 1.5k, but it's still an increase currently from the pre-patch numbers.

I have to admit, the game is much harder than when I first started. I've never experienced so many glorious deaths in one match. This may turn some casual players off but I like a real challenge. The bugs are meaner and nastier than ever. I'm hoping we can get some vehicle and air assets to operate.

This may be just me, but it's harder since we don't have Pilum spam and half the team is no longer composed of troopers popping off rockets ASAP.

It's also the fact that people are not swiss army knives anymore and don't have the tools to just solo everything. This is still an adjustment period for a lot of people. As more and more people get all their gear and master guns, win rates will start going up again.

[Little Alien]

The game is harder for sure. I've noticed people aren't playing the classes as they should be. Like some peeps have already said, no more rocket launcher spam, no more swiss army knives.

Also no more ammo create spam which is a huge draw back. Not many engineers with ammo packs that go out to the far away ore refineries leaving the team with out ammo and that I noticed a lot and it kills the team. Been in many teams where we are all calling out for ammo and know one has it. On top of that you have snipers and rangers carrying ore leaving the team down man power and soo many teams just perish this way.

And also the Guardian only has 200 ammo now where it used to be 800 or something from what I remember. The Guardian really suffers now as I'm noticing engineers are not giving them ammo. Back in the day the Bastion had a wall of ammo creates around him in his bunker but now...Zero creates and the Guardian's ammo runs out quickly.

On top of that and you can see it, people haven't upgraded their guns as they are the basic colour. Maybe they don't know about it, possible. Then also we get to 100 and have to reset everything and do that every time we get to 100 level. So we could have experienced players but for some reason we get demoted back to basic having to start all over again. I'm on my 3 tour of duty and yet instead of being that experienced Sargent in Vietnam that everyone trusted, I end up being a new recruit that's just come out of boot camp.

As much as these devs keep trying to solve things, they seem to be making thing just as bad. I can really say I had more fun in the start of this game, the new class change has a long way to go. A win these days is rare on hard mode where as before the class change hard was easy.

The biggest problems which we had already before patch 0.7 is the performance and that dozen of people can´t play this game cause of crashes.

[TΞSTOSTΞROWNLOL]

The game certainly doesn't play the same for me post patch OP. By that I mean that the gameplay changed to a point that I uninstalled it. I was on the fence about initially getting it... now I know what side of the fence I was on -.-

The re-enlisting isn't mandatory. Once you hit 100 you can just sit there

[LORD PFIZER FACE DE CLOT SHOT]

I'm out after the last update. Totally different game, the classes were brilliant as they were. Won't be playing again, just wasn't fun for me anyone after the update, played 2 games and hung my coat up. Was fantastic from launch until 0.7.

Got my shekel's worth at least.

Have you heard of a Drill instructor named Zim?
