Positive thoughts on Patch 1.09 – or, I’m having fun, who else is?

Yeah at least maybe they can fix it so no "chancy" variant drops before normals maxed. Everything else would be insane.

It got me playing again after 2 week break.

I never hyped it in the first place, I'm enjoying a slow paced gaming experience with friends while chatting and laughing over TS. And we will definitely play Platinum in an organized way, as in: 1 Infiltrator, 1 Shield Boost, 2 Crowd Controllers or something like that.

That all looks very promising and fun - but the bloated manifest makes it feel awkward. I do hope the devs listen (lol) to constructive feedback concerning these new issues and fine tune them. They have mainly done so until now, so there remains a spark of hope.

Platinum is decent, except for the hack that people are complaining about. That was a seriously stupid fucking change, otherwise Platinum is a decent addition.

Boss objective LOGICALLY was a good idea. But the implementation wasn't too smart.

Store changes with items are nice. Apex Elite package was a good idea and hopefully sticks around each week.

Batarian is fun, although I would have liked Snap Freeze to have a different animation than Cryo Beam. It's basically a shorter version of the same animation.


But the variant guns & massive amount of cards they laid out was an incredibly stupid idea that overshadows some of the good things they added. Add in the hack change + generic veteran bonuses (they could be unique to each character!), this became a far more polarizing patch than the prior ones that fixed more of the game.
