No more pausing I guess and people started to know the glitch because of some youtubers exposing the glitch and made it patched. Good job the youtubers who did that... Juggernaut combo was the best combo in the game and now it's going to be rare to have it even if it reduces getting abused

It was toxic mechanic, but I loved it. Even when it was used against me, it was fair. RIP stunning hoppers on golds as they use overdrive.

Might seem like 5 seconds is little, but it's still good change for regular drones.

It was known for years, so I'm surprised it took this long to change. I hope the new mechanism is random enough that it can't be abused.

[Bartson74 45]

That's a great update! I like that critical hits will not deal so many damage to me because I can't afford to upgrade an armadillo module yet. Also less guaranteed status effects is a good change.

[SAO-Kirito 17]

There is an idiom in China called "矫枉过正" which means overcorrection. TO seems to be very skilled in this thing. They are very good at increasing CD and reducing damage at the same time, or nerfing a turret while specifically nerfing Augments again. No thought of any consequences.

???
What's the problem? no more clabarars, nukler, bruls, 9_the_jaggarnaut, DokanPerfect (woopsie thats me when i go quick battle and get JGR), and other nonsense abusing a glitch in the game. Hopefully this reduces JGR popularity so every time i press quick battle i get into a different mode instead of JGR 9/10 times. Hell they have full right to ban the JGR abusers but they chose not to. Be thankful.

never used a status hammer in my life but i agree. the effect on crit should've been removed but the effect applied every 3rd hit should've stayed. You can use your repair strategically and avoid the effect. now its random. Rare mod W and i am disgusted by it.

Now status effect critical hits do -50% damage instead of -90% so technically armadillo value rose up. so you want to upgrade it more now.

It's clearly intentional to avoid augment powercreep by nerfing big augments and keeping the power level of exotics the same.

As for normal turrets getting nerfed/buffed its just so it can give a fresh breath of air into the game since it effects everything related to that turret including augments. If they stopped doing it you'd get bored quick trust me. also the augment power creep would become unbearable in around 3 months. Unless they're powercreeping hulls by introducing new Mk upgrades or augments that give HP. Mammoth with 50k HP in 2024 ready for that?

Well deserved for all theses augments, the way those augments should work is when you get critical shot, it applies those status effect. Thankfully they nerfed those. Now waiting to nerf the freezing effect that reduce boosted damage by 50% when someone is under freeze effect.

Papa Hazel why did you nerf container count from missions from 15 to 3? The keys are not out yet so it doesn't make sense? Also what happened to keys? The conversion is long over.

Not really a debate yet... just explaining the obvious of why overpowered augments get nerfed to avoid continous rise in power.

And big thanks for working on JGR ))

Status infliction every 3rd shot was satisfying and more coherent. But since all other status augments apply effects at criticals, it would be fair and reasonable to update Hammer. Status effects and critical hits are simply unpredictable, and that is part of the strategies one can choose from

Almost like they do it on purpose...

This was especially apparent with the Thunder nerf 17 months ago. They reduced the damage from 990 to 900 which was fine but then they went and further reduced the damages of Small Calibre Charging Machine and Sledgehammer Rounds.

SCCM would have retained its purpose of killing light and heavy hulls quicker than Stock but instead they nerfed the damage again and now it doesn't even do that. Despite getting critical hits slightly more often than Stock, it couldn't even synergise its normal and critical damage to do its intended job. And then they have the gall to introduce Adaptive Reload which at the bare minimum is SCCM without the inane damage penalty.

Not even mentioning the fact that they killed Sledgehammer Rounds' range, if they DID end up getting the enemy's face for long enough, then congratulations, you now can't kill light and heavy hulls in a properly timely manner because surprise surprise, it definitely needed its max damage nerfed from 1,350 to 1,305. 

And so it remains to this day, where the only proper variety on Thunder, the turret that has the most augments in the game, is two legendary augments who massively powercreep everything else on it. 

[Bydo 20,118]

did you guys finally fix the picture which someone did not colour in a square . this was reported just after the picture came out about 1 year ago..

A more relevant buff would be to increase the splash damage radius

[mjmj5558 2,346]

I really like this patch, as the most powerful status augments will aply the effect in less cases, but all status augs got a little buff so i think the majority of them will be quite balanced. It's good to see that these type of augments received a nerf, as i was tired of playing in battles where half of the augments were status ones.

[Macabre 207]

Shouldn't Rico also lose its guaranteed status application through bouncing shots? I don't see why it wasn't removed as well. 

[JustBlackWolf 874]

Ah yes. let's ruin Isida's healing even more why not, i mean after all, everything else is just able to pretty much oneshot or melt through a tank's HP like nothing, surely, we needed to nerf Isida crits because a bunch of clowns have their loyal pets healing them while playing Juggernaut.

My friend! The answer is ludicrously simple. The release was meant to land on December 1st but was postponed after the plan was set in stone.
This or you can stick to the idea that the developers are just too greedy for the sake of it. I won't judge

Understandable. But why not leave the containers at the same 15 then? I'm no coder but it can't be that hard to go back and change the code so the mission reward is still 15 conts. 
Also idea for Hazel. When pressing quick battle you can filter what modes you want to play in. So for example I click on Quick Battle then press on TDM, CTF, SGE and I only get put into those modes instead of any of the 6 we have right now. Good quality of life update.

That's not just an idea its facts. Only you guys are in denial of that!
