Minor Legendary Tweaks?
Hiya Ruby,

Since I got the game working I've been playing. Played this through nexus when it first came out. Did you tune up AI accuracy on Legendary? This time I have consistently had issues with coming around corners and getting absolutely murdered by plasma rifle flood. Also had a few times where jackals would nearly instakill me when i came around a corner (two charged plasma pistols). Once I knew they were there it was a total non issue (just kill them first) but it felt like a bit of an unfair death.

Also, I think the shield flood have just a little bit too much shield, though this maybe is a skill issue (lol). However on some of the Library levels I had to stop and kill every single flood combat form, because I couldn't run away from the plasma ones with shields. Not sure if that's due to their improved accuracy meaning running was less viable, or the reduced efficacy of the shotgun due to it not one-tapping shield flood unless you're right on them, but it made the Library a bit more of a drag than the first time I played.

Accuracy was also annoying on the banshee segment, because that vehicle is so wimpy. I didn't die, but I did take way more damage than I expected from a single elite... was kinda surprising and if I hadn't meticulously murdered every Covenant bastard on the ring to get to the Banshee, I probably would have died.

On some more positive notes, the AR does fill its role much better with the tweaks. It's not the cheese weapon of 3.0 (as fun as it was to ping jackals from a million miles away) yet retains the skill level (spraying against a jackal will get you killed, but it's great for picking them off at medium rang).

I really like the magnum as a close range precision weapon, with a limited ability to stretch out in a pinch. Sentinel Beam is really strong, but the limited ammo makes it worth it. Flamethrower feels much, much better, and the sword does too. I can barely tell it's just shooting a short range projectile :hugelie: .

Lastly, thanks for fixing the lowrider ghost, lol. It was pretty funny to scrape my way through levels but I greatly prefer the new one.

Sincerely,

Someone who's been playing since H2R. <3
