When is the next balance patch ? | Forums

[Kroma-]

Hi Ubi team,

I got a serious concern about the state of the game right now and it makes new players leaving this game more than it should be, you can tell it by the current online players being 2 to 3 times lower than it was during the open beta. It is pure speculation but i dont think i m wrong.

I would have expected a drop for sure since this game got P2P issues and rage inducing combo that you have to learn to counter.

My main concern is the GB mechanic, GB even during beta was already rage inducing since you can instant kill people from ledge and everything. But in the current game it is even more since the GB counter timing is bugged, on an experienced player it doesnt matter, but for new players it is so hard to counter and so frustrating, that is why the drop in player is probably bigger than it should have been.

I dont understand why you didnt instantly patch the game after release to the open beta state, it looks like me that it was a really bad marketing move.
I ll say it again, i have no problem myself with the current GB mechanic but new player do, and that is my main concern.

I hope the balance fix will come out soon or i fear the game will be only hardcore player and will shrink even more the longer ubi wait to fix it.
I dont mind the hardcore base but for the sake of the game, more players mean more money means more money spent into developing the game further.

I dont mind if ubi doesnt answer this thread but i hope at least you will consider it and act on it as fast as you can.

Ubisoft is really bad in being on time with patches and fixes. They also are very bad at communicating with the playerbase. So its pretty much a waiting game.

It's because its ubisoft man, they do great games with a lot of potential but they just dont know how to manage the follow up, they just let cheaters / exploit for months + broken mechanic that frustrate players not to mention their matchmaking but when they finnaly patch, the game is already dead because of their very slow response, look at the division.

Ubisoft games just self-destruct, and it's a pity.

Just my last game : Host dc when i got 10 kill **** my quest, next game i pop with 2 ia vs 4-3-4-3 restige and are not remplaced, another game when we dominate and guess what... error of connection GREAAAAAATTT

exactly what im thinking^^
The GB- mechanic can be very frustrating especially when ur from regions with less players. Currently the ping ingame is an big issue cause GB are almost impossible to counter when one lags.

regarding the announced fix, i am really questioning why its so hard to use what we already had in beta.....

There's a lot involved with the process of patching a game, so it's not exactly just a matter of instantly patching a game after release. To answer the main question here, there hasn't been a finalized date for the patch release. We'll have more news (date & notes) pretty soon though. Once I have something solid, it'll be posted here. The team is working hard to get it done and we're reading through all the feedback.

If you are reading through all the feedback why do we still have to play with p2p?
