You have the option to opt-out of the event, which should help to alleviate the situation, albeit to a small extent. :P

I played the game at launch, wanted to replay it with all these new updates, I would say wait a bit before playing, or at least be prepared for some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I suspect they may pull back a bit, they may have gone overboard with the volatiles.

The fact that they are out at night isn't a huge problem, makes running around tense and I like that, but they are cropping up in like level 1 side missions that make the missions either impossible to complete or incredibly tedious. It wasn't like that when the game first came out. I did the "Princess in the tower" side mission, which is like level 1, one of the first you can do, and the place it sends you to has TWO volatiles, I could only complete the mission by crouching right by a UV zone and just swiping at their legs for like 15 minutes before the mission would let me open a door (all enemies needed to be dead). I've also read that in some of the "Bloody Ties" DLC missions, they are literally impossible because of the new volatiles don't have bloody ties so I can't confirm that myself.

That has been my experience so far, main story missions are fine, but side missions can be really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ like they didn't test properly, feels more like an update for new-game plus players who already have all the best gear and legend levels etc.

people wanting it harder cause all they do is boost boost boost makes it F'ing hell for new players. I hope they back track cause this is nearly unplayable at this state unless your max level with massive amounts of boost power.. not everyone wants to play that way sadly and they don't seem to understand that.

I just don't get why they also did this in the beginner region of the game.

It also kind of messes with the campaign storywise, because the whole introduction to the howlers doesn't make any sense now.

IMO the hunts should be put off until you reach the Central Loop.

I don't think I've even seen a howler since the update, to be honest. Just Banshee's, Bolters and Spitters at night, so far. And Volatiles, of course.

Just started recently and it doesn't mess with anything, I actually like having to think instead of just running across rooftops freely.

I recently started an ng+ game and imagine the look on my face when literally the 3rd story mission I had to fight off 3 volatiles (that mission where you have to go find barney and then find his friend). I was fine because it was a new game plus but if actual new players have to face this, they're gonna hit the refund button so hard

They actually changed the popup message when the game tells you about Chase/Hunt. The info is changed and there are pictures of a Volatile now

There's a select few howlers scattered around randomly, but they don't seem to do anything but harmlessly yell at you.
As for Carnage Hall's two missions that pit you against an overly durable Volatile on a time limit. I just said screw it. Easy difficulty, collect Molotovs and DIY Grenades and spam them. Finish him off with a few seconds to spare.

Way too many volatiles at night- kinda ruins the game
