    Thoughts on 1.4?

    Now that 1.4 is here what do the players think about the changes? Good, bad, don't care? My self I'll need to play a few rounds with friends in a group before I decide.

    So far I don't like it. UG seems more difficult, I use to be able to solo hard, now, Tier 4 normal no modifiers and I'm 0 for 2 on completions. Free roaming LZ wasn't too bad, more loot for sure.

    The game is a million times better, loot is much easier to come by making it now feel like a ridiculous time sink, even though it might still take you a while to find that one piece your looking for, at least your getting more chances. Time to kill is right where it should be and your not going to get 1 shot by the shotgun NPC's anymore.

    The game is just so much better, and solo play is back so you dont NEED a group anymore.

    Solo play is spot on.

    4 player group play hasn't really changed at all. NPCs are way too spongy. They do hefty damage because of armour changes. It might even be worse than 1.3 group play.

    It's incredible compared to 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3, no contest 1.4 is greater than all that came before it added together.

    It's actually a shame if you think back at how terrible this game was before 1.4 It absolutely changed the game and made it 100% better and I am loving it! I would truly ignore anyone that says otherwise.

    World Tier 4

    Time to kill and to be killed feels good. The AI tactics are much better, which adds back some of the difficulty lost now they don't take forever to kill. The game play feels a lot more fluid now. Loot is raining, but it's not over the top. I need to re-gear and recalibrate, but that's fine as it's adding longevity.

    All in all I'm happy with my experience so far.

    Leaps and bounds better, I have to thank Mattshotcha. You did a lot to invigorate the game bro and you listened not only to me when I was frustrated but the community. Here's to hoping for a long life for this game. May the money rain down as the loot is now.

    Cant play it since the lag spikes are making the game unplayable. DZ manages 1-2 FPS or locks up completely. Guess its not uncommon for Massive to fall face first right away off going live with 1.4

    What system are you on? you sure it's not your connection? I've had zero issues with lag thus far.
