Just as I opened to the forums. Good timing on that tag.
Hereās the best answer I can give: After a decent amount of time if it is a net positive, weāll keep it. If it needs work, weāll evaluate it. Significant changes are sometimes tough to take (Iām still salty at the change in the Young Ahamkaraās Spine from D1 -> D2, even though the D2 version can net better results with good play), so weāll have to see how things boil out. For transparency, for this week, weāre collecting balance-based feedback but kinda keeping it in a separate bucket. After this week and next week I think we should have enough feedback to loop everyone internally and share what the people are saying for people who get to make decisions about the game.
On a personal, ānot-speaking-as-a-devā, I like the change. Predators are a lot more terrifying, and I think it balances well with the clicking that people wanted to tone back. EG my experiences now are more:
- Oh fuck I hear him where is he where is he
as opposed to
- Oh fuck I hear him there he is
But weāll see what the actual, real world data and feedback says; I donāt let my personal opinion impact the decision making of the guys who design/lead the game.
