At enterprise scale I can see a contract for being able to renew your support contract. Aka for us to implement this, we expect you to support it but we aren't going to pay you up front in case it doesn't pan out or we drop the project.

I wish they'd fix their deployment process. Releasing stuff then having to go back and fix it again can't be helping their schedule, especially since they're trying to release more stuff.

• Fixing the mech made its rockets way off and unusable
• Ship upgrades: half of them didn't work
• Stim fix didn't fix stick sound issue
• Liberator isn't the right gun stats
• Tenderizer isn't the right color

The new warbond, which took up dev team time, is not impressive/has a draw to bring people back.

I think the release pace could have been fine if they could release without new bugs every patch, address the existing bugs, and stop squeezing fun out with the balancing they've done. As is getting a nerfed liberator and being told the final versions of the guns is coming isnt a draw.

Personally reading the balance guys thoughts on the game, its a wonder the game was fun at any point. I'm not sure his vision but things like not even realizing how people would use the eruptor for its aoe damage is confusing.

Yea I'm confused, the article seems to waver between it was confusing to good, but also it misses the point of why the writer likes pop tarts so it's not good?

"That’s a nice feeling. *Unfrosted *isn’t about that feeling. It’s about the product [...] It takes whatever pleasure that can be derived from a Pop-Tart, and chokes on it"

What did the crossbow do to deserve nerfs? I don't think I've ever seen someone use it, I was underwhelmed with it and it got beat down.

This has been the case near me for awhile. Had to scan membership, and now it's exclusively the self order kiosks that won't let you order until you scan membership at my nearby costcos. There is no window ordering just pickup.

Isn't that a pretty big difference? If nearly 50% of users in those age groups are cutting back that seems bad.

Speaking as one of the people who has cancelled a streaming service, I'm doing fine without and unlikely to resub.

I read it's because to vault you need to press space, but if you're already sprinting it auto vaults. Seems accurate, if I "walk up" it doesn't vault.

Still really annoying, but at least I know why.

Great review and info, I wonder how it'll hold up once sharpened.

I think what I didn't like is: I could maybe agree with their line of thought for the changes they made to the weapons. I don't like that they prioritized these as the first balance patch.

As many have said it was meta because of the abundance of chargers/heavy enemies in 7-9 for folks trying to get the super samples.

Before the high difficulties felt chaotic but at least doable. Now... it still is but it's even more running and kiting. To me it's a less fun gameplay loop.

And the "arrogance" is probably perceived from the other dev comments like "get good" "stop clutching your pearls" "goodbye crutches". If that's how the devs feel, it's easy to imagine the balance person, who prioritized removing tools vs making the reason the tools were needed first, thinks the same way.

Like they wrote their own platform to automate front end automation? Thats... a choice

Couldn't agree with this more. First few seasons they find their footing, but when they do they have some of the most incredible story lines and pay offs. It has become my favorite.

If you're really struggling you can probably watch the episodes rated 7.0+ on IMDb in seasons 1 and 2 and still get a lot of what's happening in season 3 and later, but you'll definitely miss some backstory. Deep space nine being stationary generally did a good job with continuing characters and stories over time imo.
