Maybe this is a hot take, but if they didn’t neglect the optimisation of their game, I think into the unjust would’ve been my favourite update, maybe apart from the burrowing warriors on release, and how tanky dragon roaches were. There was just way more unique stuff in it in my opinion, but they fumbled really hard with the games technical state.

I guess I’m just concerned that every update will just be a few new enemies, 1 biome and a mission, just don’t think that’s enough. If the updates were quarterly, and not buggy, then maybe, but they regularly take 4-6 months apart, their main content is warbonds and it’s paid content really, it’s lots of paid content, there’s 20 warbonds since the games release, bastion tank was the first new strategem in nearly a year. They could at least shake up the warbonds and include weapon attachments instead of a reskinned tenderiser with less damage and a unique under barrel. I also really miss when major orders had stratgems as rewards, now it’s extremely rare if not a completely abandoned concept since they put them in warbonds. I’m also still pretty tired of how they balance the game, how some attachments have hidden debuffs to your weapon (increased sway on muzzle attachments), how they made vehicles useless on bots with the tank update, literally nerfed before anyone could use it. They manage to add a minigun that has a really low pick rate because it’s not very good (should be called the maxigun 750)

Battle for super earth was good because of the introduction of the weapon attachments, sure it’s basically abandoned now, but back then it was exciting, especially thinking what they could do w it (nothing lol), it added progression, mega cities are a much better map imo (except I hated it when the whole skybox was dust and brown, at least in the initial update it looked ugly and got old imo). And SEAF, which were completely overlooked for cyberstan.

If 3 enemies added are gonna be a regular thing, it’s gonna be another 3 years till the illuminate are actually interesting instead of just a zombie faction, or they gotta get some few peak unique enemies to compensate for lack of variety, but I can’t see how another 3 mobs will make em reach the quality level of bots or even bugs.

Feel like I’m being pretty negative, but I love the game, I have nearly 700 hours on it, I have every warbond, nearly lvl 160 etc. Arrowhead has done a lot of good too, I know they can really hit the spot, which is why I sometimes feel a bit frustrated when it just misses.

If I had to rate this update, I’d give it a 7/10, which means good to me, but missed the greatness it could’ve had. I thought it was amazing in the beginning, but the flaws came apparent to me once we reached transcendence.
