surprised Large Calibre Pellets didnt get an additional pellet force increase, its whole gimmick is that the pellets are much stronger

Using blaster works well.  It's a decent deterrent after they find out too

    @Opex-Rah Instead of giving useless augments more rep maybe make them usable enough to play with in mm,  like -20% reload

Thanks for listening to my advice and reducing points for killing juggernaut.... now reduce siege from 50 to 10 please. Its so horrible to have so much points !

Yes great change appreciate, now I will leave bots matches even faster than before,  nobody asked for bots in legend matches and majority hates it yet you give us another reason to not play with them  yet another reason to just camp like majority of players, because now even bots will punish you for playing actively and what for? 5/1 points. 

 

Now serious question, when do you plan reduce points for healing with Nanotech and Shaft? Its easy farm for them, they dont have risk anything unlike isida and they have unlimited energy.  Nanotech can heal 3600 hp in 2s, Stock isida - 1600 hp.  Shaft 2400 hp. Both shaft and thunder have always ready 1 shot that can instantly heal huge amount of dmg. 

 

In conclusion another update to make quality of life in TO worse.

The only change I am happy with. No need to open 15 keys anymore. Also, I don't know why have you stopped giving options to open 1, 5 or 15 keys, why wasn't it good? 
I need answer.

What's the point of getting reputation point with phoenix after people already got it? There's no phoenix 2.0 to grind after grinding phoenix. Just buff phoenix or maybe revert that huge nerf

This almost seems like being punished for completing the objective, why bother with the jugg when you can just get the same score for 2-3normal kills .
Im sure there is some behind-the-scenes data to support the decision, but still a curious one.

There's no benefit to opening containers in smaller batches. Now that the mission to open a container is gone, there's absolutely no reason to open fewer than 15 at a time.

[Breathe 11]

Could someone explain to me what are they doing with games modes? 

Assault mode is unplayable, you get 5 xp for capping flag, it's literally TDM mode.

And now they're ruin JGR mode as well. 

I'm really curious what's the next move.

Akschuulayly , there might be a specific item you want to get and once you have it, you want to save the rest of your keys for the next batch.

Ok fair enough. But if you're trying to get a specific item with the current odds, even 15 containers is a rounding error, let alone 5 or 1.

I don't love these changes either, but I get that there are probably underlying reasons behind them. Could be for example that these modes tend to end quicker than others when players focus too heavily on the objective due to the point rewards. Rewarding points for objective seems fair, but ig players will still be drawn to it unconsciously anyway, so maybe it's just a balancing thing.

it's not that difficult to put the pieces together. 

bots in legend ranks.... increase in daily mission battle point requirement...fewer battle points rewarded....

oh what could that possibly lead to? could it possibly mean that players have to spend more time playing the game??

 

anyways, interesting set of patch notes. nice that hammer is getting some respect again.

Events. This will help a ton with people doing events with silver contracts ( like legit look at the minigame right now, it will make completing with silver contracts much easier )

Hmm bots were already considered annoying and so is blaster. I don't think combining them will satisfy the players. Surely there're other ways to adjust difficulty? Also disproportionately punishing short range turrets here.
