This is exactly what Tophat was saying in the podcast. From their perspective (all of the data) the game is fine. So this goes beyond even the info that Leef provided.
Tophat did speak a lot on sentiment and how it has to be worked on by them.
The game is fine. I’m glad, I enjoyed playing it for 4 years so far and hope to play it for four more.
Are there things I wish were a little easier to get, oh hell yea. G12+ gear and kyros especially. A difficulty tweak to TBs too.
I’m sure they will all come in time. I think most moves made by the devs besides monetary incentives was to give them more time. They have repeatedly said we eat through content way too fast.
