Summarize your bug Hazard had problems but used to be fun. But now, with a drastic reduction in redeploys, its not fun anymore. I spend most of my time being extra ultra cautious since I may not have any redeploys at all (you can lose 2nd chance). Plus with all the buffs to AI (shooting at you at 250m giving away your position), ranger lethality, and teams glitching a single ranger into a team of rangers (and they can find you without line of sight or sound), the chances of an extract went from 25% down to 1%. Its just not fun anymore.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try playing Hazard before you start changing things. Ask Hazard players. Do play testing.
What happens when the bug occurs? The population of Hazard players drops by a factor of 10.
What should be happening instead? Focus on increasing fun of the mode, not moving to hardcore
Super aggressive AI used to be an annoyance that could be dealt with. Rangers finding you even if you are out of sight or even in a container could be dealt with.
But with almost no redeploys and teams glitching the rangers to get them 4 at a time, its not fun anymore.
