Please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck...

[Knights_Oath]

One thing that would really help with player numbers is Sony stops being a candy ass and let most of the world play the damn game.

[MrMacavity]

I really hope they have reverted some of the dumb unnecessary nerfs and changes to things we enjoyed (looking at you Eruptor/Crossbow).

[MrPenguin]

Why are you guys being so doom and gloom? The game's massive peak due to the fad of it happens all the time with games. The game still has a 24 hour 100kish population between ps5 and pc. Weird that every youtuber is being so negative about this patch acting like its do or die

[BeepTalford-numm]

The weather is nice out and I can sit on my porch and drink beer. I don't even need another game. The patch better be good enough for me to close my cooler and put the headset back on, otherwise I'll just crack another cold one and sit tight. I'm too old to be fussed if arrowhead wants to kill their own literal golden goose.

[randomspectator]

Are they reverting weapon nerfs on some weapons? That's literally what killed my enjoyment of the game was the repeated nerfs to reduce a "meta" load out to nerfing everything so hard that now you have to run a meta load out to even have a chance of completing a mission with extraction.

[Drahcar]

I dont think the player numbers will ever be back to where they were. Yes some people are most likely waiting for the new patch to make the game "how it used to be, " and some people are waiting for the new warbond, but there are still people who are waiting for the original countries added back for the game to be purchased. Some people left the game after the first string of Major Orders was lost, and they will never come back.

I have very much enjoyed this game but I understand why people dont want to play it anymore. If they really want people to swarm into the game again, I feel like a flash sale is needed (after adding back all the countries that could originally play it). I am guessing it would only be $5 but for some people that $5 price drop would be a instant purchase of the game.

[dougdeuce]

Like I said in the last video under promise and over deliver is a great business strategy

[hombreg]

Honestly, the only things I'd like for the game are for more weapons to be fun to use in high level runs and for enemy patrol spawn rates to be more managed. I think the game feels its best when you conquer a small corner of the map and get a breather as you walk to the next objective. I think it's okay to one-shot some bigger creatures like charges too, as long as it requires you to be accurate and swift.

[DivineAccuracy]

“I guess I’m happy that it is big” my favorite quote from the video😂

[hellcy]

They were tempering the expectations because I'm assuming people thought that this would be the big rebalancing patch which it likely isnt, while still having lots of changes/fixes/etc

[lordbeerus]

A big patch on Warbond day might be risky concerning bugs and glitches, in fact, the patch in general. I have every finger and toe crossed here. Good luck ArrowHead.

In fact, I foresee crashing issues for sure and I find it hard to believe they game tested all fixes and changes, especially knowing ArrowHead doesn't work on weekends

[_Visin]

I haven't needed super samples since March 🤷‍♂️. I would however like the all the weapons and systems and strategems to be useful. Fix tracking on strategems? Increase primary damage? Shooter back pack reloading? Bring back OG Patriot? Put some glasses on the spear? And where are all the other vehicles?!

[Pskpsi]

Been waiting for this video since I heard about the patch. Time to tuck in 🍿

[ArrowheadGameStudios]

Hi guys! Thanks for the content. I just wanted to briefly comment on us downplaying the patch, not referring to it as the mother of all patches, the major balance patch etc. The thing is that when I started to comment on and reply to questions about the patch, it hadn't grown to its final state and size. We didn't quite know how big is was going to become. There was ofc a part of me wanting to keep expectations down and not overly hype it, but thas was mainly due to the fact that we simply didn't have all the cards on the table even internally about a month ago. After it was becoming more clear what the patch entailed and that the contents were being nailed down, we could slowly start to be a tad more open in commenting. It's a balance act, but I always try to be as honest as humanly possible and don't want people to think that we consciously were misguiding players. Finally, we were able to tease a little with the memes I made the other day which felt awesome - to finally show something. We hope the patch is in a good place and will be well-received. Thanks and see you on the battlefield! /Twinbeard

[mrblackout]

The enemy patrol spawn rates across the board are insane and frustrating. I feel like it's that scene from Ready Player One, "We can cover 93% of a player FOV before inducing seizure." Enough already lol there is a huge difference between difficult challenging enemies and just flooding my screen with so many enemies I can't move or see and then my PS5 starts to sound like a jet engine. Devs need to start looking outside of content creators and the industry to help them see these issues coming. All of this should have been called out but they don't have anyone on their team that had the nerve to say hey I think this all sucks and the player base will too.

[RedshirtAfficionado]

Honestly I do not expect a huge patch every time, they said initially that it wouldn't be too big, I just want it to *work* and not be super harmful to the balancing.

Even if the patch isn't amazing, a *solid* patch would just be swell.

[DroosterH]

I wonder if they'll activate the Bureau on the Destroyer?

[dappernapper]

I’m so hyped for the patch man. Thanks for the updates 👍👍

[munchkingod]

I pretty much stopped playing but it’s largely down to having everything unlocked. I’m capped out on every resource except super samples and I have nothing to spend resources on.

I’m excited to see the changes, but I really hope part of the release includes something meaningful to do with resources (or at least a cap increase).
