The breach update is a failure (no longer)

[Samseng Yik]

And so you thought developer "learn from the very first release patch"
Also,
1) if you invest stat to equip weapon and damage, then you will have very very survival bonus on Lost Huntress.
Ya but of course, this is soul like, "you not suppose to get hit", how you learn enemy attack if you can't survive long enough ?

2) Just when you thought getting the right piece of gear is hard enough, oh developer love to put negative enchantment on gear. "Clean Gear" is like only exist 20% of the time.
Previously, respec stat can done anytime, so at least you "alright I use another weapon until I get the right one", NOT THIS TIME.

3) The 1st boss and Darak is kinda well done as "Classic From Software boss"
- when you deal a hit damage to the boss, you see the HP drop few %
- their damage does not kill you in 3 or 4 hit
- they can't combo chain hit you

The boss after them? Damage Sponge ! 68 damage Scimitar hit on lost huntress is around 30 damage. 3 hit streak is only like 4% of the boss HP.
I suspect this have to do with HP scaling.

Many players already change their review to reflect how lowly is breach update.
I not going to write a negative review now. I will wait developer self reflection.
Or even better, "show case a developer play through" let us know "how to play correctly"

Edit : majority problem solved, game feel very well now

I don't remember the game being so hard and unpleasant when I last played it a year ago. It is truly a sad experience now. The enemies have no chill. They take a sword in the face and attack like nothing happened in a nanosecond.

The early version of the game is what get me hype into.
I jawdrop and see how bad the game become.
Lie Of P (especially version before 1.1), Dark Soul and Bloodborne series can now kneel to this game.
No Rest For The Wicked can be the champion of brutal soul like but also is THE ONLY ONE with unfair enemy.

I booked these few days just to play this Breach Update and temporary break from Expedition 33.
The only way to earn back the time, is write a review.
Few days before Breach Update, I even specifically write a topic remind developer "do not be as idiot as path of exile 2 developer" , smart people learn from others mistake", only idiot "learn from self mistake"

Try heavy two handed weapons? Everyone I hit with a Claymore or Paddleboard takes 5 seconds to recover!

When you get to the mountain, you will find agile monsters that can accurately read your instructions and almost 100% evade all your Xu Li attacks. They are ready for you long ago.

The hotfix patch improved a lot stuff.
I see the review slowly adjusted.
Most importantly people now happy and aware developer is monitoring

the huntress being a damage sponge that can kill you in a couple of hits is bad

[Cryptic]

This game has been a failure since release. Hoping they stay with it and keep improving. It has potential but honestly it has been in development hell for a year and the issues are overwhelming

Actually it is alright now.
With enough retry I now can easily evade everything in phase 1.

Hotfix give us enough loot if you play from scratch beginning.
Overall I feel game is very great now.
Will want try see how the end game soon
