Loving this patch

I know there's been a lot of negativity around the latest patch (and I'm not saying that this opinion is invalid, everyone is entitled to their own), but after spending a couple hours playing with it, I am absolutely loving the changes. The balance isn't perfect, but I love the fact that the game is still challenging and I think this was a step in a really positive direction.

Currently having a blast, and definitely enjoying it more than the older difficulty system. Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work, and also wanted to make a post that was a bit more positive than the other threads I've scanned over.

Hope others are enjoying it as well!

 

Agreed. It's much more fun to jump to the air the same second as a monster does, slash it mid-air in one hit, then land while croucing and look as his corpse lands and explodes. But on a serious note, I am really enjoying the changes so far, exept the fact that Iron Anvil weapons are overpowered currently, but I'm sure it won't take long to fix that. Great job, Chucklefish!

 

Oh, it's not just Iron Anvil, though I think their numbers are closer to the patch's goal of number balancing than the Silver/Steel tier; Tier 2 weapons are currently doing THOUSANDS of DPS.

On the whole, though, I thought the initial experience was a lot better this time around, even if ore spawn rates are a tad absurd once you get below a certain depth. They seemed to have nailed survivability.

 

Agree with both posts about the crafted weapons being overpowered - but as both pointed out, the system was just overhauled and it shouldn't take long to fix.

They did mention in the patch notes that ore spawn was over-abundant, and that the spawn rate would probably be cut down a bit in the future.

 

Yeah, I pointed this out in another thread.
