    PTS week 3 NPCs did 30% less damage instead of 15% less

    Not my post but here it is:

    Between week 2 and week 3 they were meant to do 15% less damage, but there was a bug which made it 30% less, which is why it was a bit too easy. That's now fixed for week 4 PTS.

    They are also reverting the change where there was a global decrease of armor for level 31 to 33 Elite NPCs by 17%, so that's going back to week 2 values.

    Underground will also scale the same way as challenge missions now.

    Lots of bug fixes for ballistic shield. Fixed the explosive cover bug.

    Patch notes today or tomorrow. State of the Game article up tomorrow, but no stream as they are in England for a couple of days.

    Week 4 PTS only lasting probably until Monday, roughly.

    Still aiming for October 1.4 release.

    I am so over arguing for a playable game. Just waiting for them to launch 1.4 and if it works for me I'll keep playing. If I don't like it, there are so many games out there to play instead.

    Do you find it funny that they can't stream from the UK? The day of the last patch for the PTS. You mean there isn't any internet in the UK? Ah man, reminds me of August. Send all your CM's to one event in the UK during one of the most important times for this game. Makes sense. Now they won't have to answer any questions.

    I want to see the code they use for there game that so many errors like this keep getting made. Like how is 15% 30%, is the value getting applied twice some how because of a misplaced bracket or something, like remember when Reckless actually gave you an additional 10% damage resilience? how do they keep f*cking stuff like that up?

    He also said it was too much loot and that is what the majority had a problem with.

    Thanks for the info op.

    One time again it show how much they care about the official forum. If you want actual info on the game officiam forum is not the place for that.

    "The combination of these changes should bring back slightly more lethality to enemies, but mostly ensure that Challenge Mode difficulty remains consistent between all activities, and better approached as a group. It should be soloable, but only with optimized equipment and the right amount of min-maxing." - Gabe in PTS patch notes thread

    I'll save judgement for after I play the week 4 pts as far as difficulty/reward is concerned but this statement in general goes against what we have been told for the last month. This is reverting back to 1.3. I can solo all heroic content outside of incursions in 1.3 but it's more efficient in a group.
