Did a level 10 operation on bugs yesterday and it was ridiculously easy compared to before. Bots were a bit more difficult, but we didn’t get anyone to join so with just 2 players it was impossible. Another level 10 bot mission later with 4 players was very easy.

I never felt like the difficulty tuning was the problem, it was the weak-ass weapons and constant weapon nerfs. But it seems like with the buffs they also nerfed spawns and now the weapons overpowers the difficulty again. They either need to buff weapons and keep the ridiculous spawn rates that should be overwhelming on level 10, or nerf the weapons again so it’s not that easy and requires more tactical gameplay.

There used to be a nice balance in difficulties, if it’s too difficult you could just down the level to something more chill. The top level ones are supposed to be a real challenge. Now they feel like what was previously a level 7, 8 or 9 level, depending on which enemies you get.

Curious to know why whoever is downvoting disagrees (you know, engage in the discussion instead of just disagreeing and all that). The game had difficulty options for a reason, difficult levels needed to be difficult. It’s all way too easy now, I had barely even done level 10 before this update, it feels like what level 7 or 8 used to be.

Someone elsewhere mentioned there aren’t enough spawns to complete the missions since the update.

New updates and bugs, freezes, crashes go hand in hand sadly.

“What YOU can do to help save the planet!”

Bitch please, ya’ll made my livelihood dependable on your products for decades and now the consumer is the problem?!

I think it was a weak spot, just even weaker now lol

Well yeah today you learned because today it was added lol

I got that reference!

(Literally the only Swift song I know)

The headline screams ragebait from someone who doesn’t even play the game.

I’ll give you the grenade pistol hasn’t left my side since I got it, just because it’s too good to close spawners.

But I had always been using the slugger as primary, it worked great on bots and bugs. Combined with the laser backpack against bugs I rarely ever needed something else except for heavies.

I found it to be quite easy to rack up enough credits to at least unlock one warbond. And a second didn’t took too long either.

Most stuff has been pretty underwhelming anyway, there are a few good items but most default weapons are a lot better than anything from warbonds.

So did the fire one, dropping the fire nerf just before the fire warbond.

And the other ones were barely even worth it. I don’t think there have been any weapons from any of the warbonds being better than the base game defaults.

Arrowhead giveth, and Arrowhead taketh away.

…and then giveth again.

Is it really a buff if it was just a “temporary nerf” so to speak?

I might give the game a shot again whenever the big update drops. They took away way too many fun stuff in the past months, it was such an unnecesary move on their behalf. Could’ve easily taken GOTY if they didn’t burn down the playerbase so hard.

What?

They can, difference is a vast majority of people don’t want to buy/build a PC, or deal with a PC setup in general, they just want to press one button to make it work and sit on the couch. So the easy option for them is buying a console, it’s plug and play, while a PC requires quite some setup.

The difference is the price of buying discs vs. buying from a digital store that has no competitors.

I’ve bought almost exclusively second-hand discs for my PS5, because they’re like half the price for the exact same content.

Sadly it’ll probably be just a matter of time before those will be phased out as well, one way or another.

It was pretty much a given that this would happen, since there were already options with and without disc drives.

And obviously sooner or later gaming will probably move to an entirely online service like streaming.

It’s just a matter of time until the internet and worldwide coverage is ready for it. I always imagined that in a distant future we’d basically only buy a controller, that connects to an app that’ll let you stream. And every game will be in a subscription service like a Netflix.

Damn what a shame. Even though he was never on screen in Star Wars, he is still the most iconic actor just because of his voice.

Love the game, but stealth definitely was pretty punishing right at the start of the game. That said, it became incredibly easy with the upgrades/unlocks progressing throughout the game, even a bit too easy. Frankly I hope upcoming nerfs don’t make it even easier later in the game.

I think the best solution for early gameplay would be to give a window of opportunity to react to getting caught. this is also an upgrade (Fast Talker or something like that), so you can send Nix to distract the guy. Perhaps it would be as simple as to have that ability unlocked by default.

Add a few more checkpoint saves throughout, or simply an option to save in more places since it’s usually disabled in places you sneak about, and I think most issues around stealth would be fixed.

I remember Russians talking about space billboards at some point.

Glad that never came off the ground.

Imagine a gigantic glowing billboard and passing over at night.
