they lowered enemy damage by almost half across the board, and also decided to give free armor when parrying minoris enemies... I think the armor is far too much by itself, and in conjunction with the much lower damage, you are essentially immortal.

You can legitimately play the game one handed right now, I talked to my friends eating a sandwich while playing assault, just parrying and gunstriking and rarely meleeing and neutral dodging. It's actually kind of crazy they just shipped it like this but I hope they might dial back some of the nerfs because it's just really ridiculous.

I like that they care so much that they changed the game this much for the people complaining, so that's something at least. Plus they buffed power fist which is amazing, and they fixed melta weapons/overheal bug. I dont think they needed to buff plasma weapons at all, but I am happy that they atleast know the chaos faction was a little weird balance-wise compared to tyranids, even if i don't agree with all the actual changes.

Pick vanguard, press w, spam c whenever you see an enemy, see a ranged enemy? press q then spam c.

jokes aside, balance in general is a trial and error process, next update will probably tip us back towards the "too hard" side and people will whinge about that until it tips back towards the "too easy" side.

I do like that they did something though, we'll get there eventually.

Hooray.

because the massive amount of skill issue i beat the game on angel of death campaign wise with the 2 stooge ai befor patch and only died 3 times in the tutorial because new to combat could easily do 3rd diffculty on operations as level 1 no issue also dont know why they nerfed the spawn numbers for all chaos enemys when the shield ones always blocking attacks were the only issue including thunderhammer

Whatever, dude. Ultra edition here. Been playing since “early access”. Mained Assault pre patch and maxed it. I am loving this patch.

yeah, i understand not everything having to be difficult, but when its the hardest difficulty, its kind of a problem when a lot of people doing that content stop finding it difficult.

simply put, if you find the hardest difficulty too hard, you can play at a lower difficulty and enjoy yourself.

if you find the hardest difficulty too easy, there is not much you can do.

go play on easy mode then not everyone enjoys a piss walk when its the hardest difficulty

Balance is hard, this was their first attempt at addressing the many complaints about melee and armor feeling like paper.

I would be completely shocked if the game stayed like this forever, will it be as hard as launch ever again? Probably not, but that's honestly what I expected.

Chaos was just too absurd for most people to stay the way it was at, this may have been an over correction but I'd rather that than them not even try to change anything.

Next month we also get the new difficulty and hopefully by then more people are leveled up and they can balance it around the current armor balance and chaos will probably get buffed again in the future.

I don’t think you understand, so let me repeat myself. I played almost exclusively Assault before this patch. The class widely considered to be worst and underpowered.

I played it on Ruthless and maxed it out. Not only the weapons but the armor, too.

This newest patch makes the game better.
