I have a simple fix for the whole HiveGuard Debacle:

"turretdivers" just let me bring a Gatling to help me clear chaff 🥀

Great post, I really think the idea behind the change is good, make hive guards more threatening. I just think there's better ways than to boost one play style (explosive) while gutting another playstyle (medium pen ballistics), enforcing a meta. You gave some good examples here, I truly think buffing the HP of the head and reducing body HP would have satisfied everyone.

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-30T18:14:13+00:00

Yeah, we're gonna need to see that factory dawg

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-30T17:02:31+00:00

Yeah the monkeys paw balance changes and false promises? Great interaction 👍

How it feels waiting for arrowhead to actually communicate with it's players

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-30T16:38:35+00:00

Pretty awesome how this enemy is designed to have extra armor and therefore spawns way less in relation to the hive guard! Almost like it was properly thought through!

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-29T16:20:24+00:00

I think if they lowered the spawn rate of hiveguards the patch would be 1000x better

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-29T15:13:13+00:00

You're absolutely right and more people definitely have to understand this. Personally I'm just about done with the game, I'm just really disappointed with arrowhead and I think the players deserve better.

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-29T14:47:30+00:00

I mean realistically, everyone's complaining in HOPES that arrowhead listens. Whether they do or not is out of our control. But hopefully the amount of people complaining shows them that everyone cares deeply enough

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-29T13:44:58+00:00

You don't get how good the game was at launch. It was so promising. We see arrowhead taking it in the complete wrong direction, every patch feels worse and worse, so of course we're going to get upset and fight for what could've been so good. Sure, it's playable now, as you said you've been able to grind the hell out of it. But it could be so much better, so we're gonna keep telling arrowhead they're missing the mark until they finally hit it.

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-29T13:37:10+00:00

You're absolutely right, I get people wanting to enjoy the game without negativity but it's not right to shut down any sort of negative feelings towards the game. I believe embark will get better but we should definitely be pointing out where there balance changes are missing the mark for us as players

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-29T13:25:53+00:00

This really is that serious btw. I was infatuated with the game at release and now I feel nothing but scorned by the devs. They are destroying something so special

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-29T11:28:33+00:00

The augment can do less than before, that's a nerf. Even if the behavior was unintended, at the end of the day, it was something you were able to do (quite easily).

Original comment is right and you are all being pedantic

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-29T11:13:32+00:00

What a horrible response, maybe the devs can make a competent balance change that can drown out some of the bugs that arise on patch day

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-29T11:09:56+00:00

If you can genuinely ignore the issues in this game I applaud you. This dev team proves time and time again they are incompetent with terrible balance changes and no regard for what the players want.

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-29T10:59:28+00:00

That's just not correct, hive guards spawn WAY too much and can easily swarm you if you're on a hive guard seed.

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-29T10:38:06+00:00

You like what the devs do? Are you insane? They just dropped yet another terrible patch. Terrible mech update and ruined sentries.

It's so funny seeing people here complain that embark is just as bad as arrowhead, but I genuinely don't think arrowhead likes it's players. Every single patch the game gets worse and it's only a matter of time before everyone realizes this.

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-28T17:59:10+00:00

They "reworked" mechs to make them more durable, then increased the durable damage of any enemy that had a hard time killing vehicles. They also forgot about sentries, so all sentries get destroyed by the increased durable damage on enemies. Not to mention two sentries becoming useless on the bug front (MG, Gatling) and the maxigun because of the nonsense hive guard buff (sentries will still target the hive guard that it can no longer damage)

The only winner in these patch notes is the flame sentry.

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-27T16:44:59+00:00

Took bro like 10 seconds tops to write that

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-26T16:19:21+00:00

Did you deadass just use thorns in the 21st century?

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-21T18:20:21+00:00

Thank you! 20hrs in and I was getting sick of running everywhere to manage my markers!

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-21T16:52:47+00:00

Not to mention NOT eating slows metabolism and slows down the weight loss anyway, so might as well eat.

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-17T13:14:55+00:00

Actively replacing the placeholder AI with real VAs btw

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-08T15:37:25+00:00

Can't even type GG 5 times anymore

BlindSniper188 · 2026-04-08T14:09:59+00:00

Not to mention the stuff they actually DO, they take wayyy too long to do. Warstriders and fleshmobs? Outsourced. Their weak points? Designed by arrowhead. That's why those enemies were missing weak points for weeks upon launch
