    Well considering they overly nerfed EVERYTHING ELSE.
    I am fine with having some sort of challenge.
    Poison common should stay NOW as far as I am concerned because now the game is ridiculously easy and not challenging at ALL and no longer fun for anyone who actually enjoys challenge..

    Because everybody who complained about balance never created any new characters and didn't actually see what they were doing to the difficulty, which is gone now.

    Also make sure that when people complain about balance that they are actually using another character from the one from a different patch.
    REMOVE THE INVINCABLITY AFTER BEING HIT.

    And what about people who didn't have a home warp? Or set it to the planet they're at and can't survive on?

    I think even if the main site and the area between every single forum post/thread post, there were gigantic seizure-inducing flashing banners that said "GAME IS IN DEVELOPMENT! CHARACTER AND/OR EVERYTHING YOU LOVE CAN AND WILL RANDOMLY DISAPPEAR!" you'd still get people every five seconds saying "WTH where my character?" and "Totally uncool guys, my base on my homeworld disappeared." and "I want a refund." and "Is this the last character wipe?" and "Really wish this wasn't necessary!" and "Where's my (insert feature name here)?" and "BUGS! CRAAASH!" and "Great, you introduced new bugs. Great.". :wut: Consider this post yet another one of those screaming flashing warnings. The game isn't at a point where you can reliably build an empire and plan on spending hundreds of hours stocking the same ship, or the same base.

    Its for these reasons that I've never made a base (besides my "since day 1" lag problem, anyway!), basically all I do with Starbound for now is update and play for 3 minutes to see if my problems are lessened. Optimization phase is miles away, so I can't have plans :p I don't expect to at this point. Kudos to all of you that can play the game well enough to receive the illusion that its a solid masterpiece that's been refined multiple times, but regardless of how shiny it may seem, life is nothing but a dream! And by a dream I mean your saves are temporary, your items and your majestic structures are temporary, and will be for a long time..

    Take screenshots! Even after you update and froth into a rage that your ship or character or homeworld is gone, you'll still have screenshots to keep you warm at night ;)

    Besides the rant, good looking update :) Less content-addition standing between me and Phase 2 now! (Disgustingly, this is the only game I've ever wanted the "content addition" phase to end ASAP so boring optimization can begin :D Strange world :> )

    Too bad that when you play an instrument it crashes your game :( But pretty good update though ^^

    even though the difficulty is now nonexistant and combat feels completely off with the new patch.

    Okay, let's try this again... how are they going to prevent people from flying to a planet they can't survive on with the last of their fuel and with no home planet set, or they set their home planet to the planet they can't survive on?

    I don't care about having to restart a character in beta. I care about people running into this post beta.

    Well it only takes one fuel to planet hop to a different moon, so yea.

    Honestly

    Nice to see so many additions based on user mods. The amount of stuff added per patch is quite something.

    There still seems to be a problem with the birds.

    They are still flying.

    If I, an avian, cannot fly.

    THEN NONE SHALL FLY.

    Thank you.

    That's really the best part :) Even if the devs smoke a huge crack rock and drive this game off the rails and right into the side of a titanium cliff, they've paved the smooth way for modding, where each user can either hand-craft their personal experience, or download the most agreeable one made by other people :p Balance is tough business besides, and its kind of useless in my mind to balance a scale when you've only got 15% of the stuff that needs weighed loaded onto the scale :>

    Like I said, at least you guys can play smoothly enough to have an opinion :p My Starbound runs like an elderly person at the bottom of a lake wearing leg-weights :> Though I am a fan of difficulty, or at the very least some good options for enhancing the brutality :> They should just work up a "Double Enemy HP" toggle option right now for the masochists :p
