News: PU02 Patch Notes

[deadmanwalking]

Balance?, I guess I need to re-read it all, I kept seeing the words reduce and decrease across the board, not sure this will do anything. My take on this is that battles will take longer as more shots will be needed to kill anything.

Although I like the snowman feature, it would be even better if the snowmen fought back.

The way i read it, the only way it's changed is a faster reload; the bullet-pointed 'Mana Anti-Vehicle Turret Changes' under that line looks like a formatting error. Phoenix minibuff woo

They changed it two times. Now it's: TBA
Most likely patching will happen during EU prime-time. As always

[VikingKong]

Yay. All my fav guns are getting buffed, and the Harasser is getting nerfed. Merry Christmas, me.

On Cobalt just now:
"Server shut down in 15 minutes; maintenance"

So yeah, on EU primetime once again.

Plus:

- Recalculated the number of NC killed by C4'ing themselves. The new total is 591,432,0499. (AC-X11)
- Removed 1 from each digit in the Terran Republic's ethics hotline. Please now call 442-225-0360 to report any violations. (CARV-5)
- Reversed the order of digits to make this code more unique 5963-466-855 (C85 Canister-H)

So under these changes is nanoweave worth the certs anymore or are there better options finally or rather different options

[CanVer]

Saron LC max damage is decreased by 120
M20 Mustang max dmg is by 150
M18 Needler max dmg is by 115

Hailstorm max dmg by 130
NC vortek max dmg by 180 (you gotta be kidding me)
M18 Rotary max dmg by 115

NC is getting hit very hard here. TR gets the least damage decrease. A very balancing nerf indeed.

At least they did something for AC-X11 and Reaper DMR so they won't be so useless anymore.
------------------------

So nanoweave will have no effect on resist shield anymore?

A lot of things looking really harsh here on paper but I'll still have to wait until it goes lives to pass any judgment. Could this be the death of UBGL spamming though? I imagine we'll still see it by if people can't 1 shot folk with it anymore I think that'd be a huge selling point to find another gun hehe.

[Redshift]

I'm concerned that they seem to be increasing ROF of some guns and increasing their COF to compensate, that just scream low skill spray and prey.
I'm worried with the fracture projectile change too, it seem like they're making hitting anything moving more about luck than skill, imo that reduces fun.

[Verrijden]

Its nice to see they aren't ruining my beloved SVA-88. I was a bit worried before reading the actual numbers. Thanks for posting all this in one thread!

[Kenshiken]

I wonder what that title name would be by slaying those lovely Snowman's.
