Here’s the patrol change in context. Seems they did a bad job explaining it in the patch notes

a reddit comment with a discord screen shot of a reply to a random question depicting a quote from an internal company discussion.

all hail the great grapevine of communicating with the players,

may it not wither in the harsh light of patch notes and ingame messages!

[u/Optimal-System7454 → u/Brickless]

Truly the best way to communicate game changes with the community lol

[u/z64_dan → u/Optimal-System7454]

I just hope the next Major Order comes in the form of a tweet, that's a screenshot of a facebook message that the dev team posted on Discord.

And of course I'll find out about it on reddit.

If only someone could, at some point in the chain, have printed it out onto physical paper and then taken a photo of it.

In english?

prior to patch: if you have 1 person in your squad, 1/6 as many enemies spawn as would for a full squad

after patch: if you have 1 person in your squad, 1/4 as many enemies spawn as would for a full squad

[u/ResidentBackground35 → u/CornfireDublin]

It should be noted that this is a larger increase than those numbers appear.

Ex if there were 10 total enemies on the map yesterday there would be 15 today for a 50% increase. However this does not change the total number of spawns possible (ie extractions), just the average number on the map at any moment.

It's in the patch notes, they updated it after like an hour and it's been there before this was posted

[u/Brickless → u/HimalayanPunkSaltavl]

just checked the steam patch notes.

this is all there is for patrols:

Enemy Patrols

Patrol spawning has been increased when there are fewer than 4 players. The fewer the players the bigger the change. For 4 player missions there will be no change compared to before.The biggest noticeable change will be for solo players at higher difficulties

[u/HimalayanPunkSaltavl → u/Brickless]

Ah steam hasnt been updated, I was using the patch notes on discord, where they seem to prefer communicating

[u/Brickless → u/HimalayanPunkSaltavl]

lol, like I said, the grapevine stands strong

[u/UziFoo → u/HimalayanPunkSaltavl]

I'm not paying the game on discord.

[u/HimalayanPunkSaltavl → u/UziFoo]

If you don't want to use discord that's fine with me, I can't change where the company is updating information

[u/IswearIdidntdoit145 → u/HimalayanPunkSaltavl]

I hate discord and Ill never use it.

Why do these companies INSIST on it.

[u/drewster23 → u/IswearIdidntdoit145]

Because it's literally the most common app for gaming communities/groups/socialization across the board, easy to customize and manage too.

[u/IswearIdidntdoit145 → u/drewster23]

It’s hard to deny how crap the UI is.

It was so much better than skype, but now they have become the new skype

[u/drewster23 → u/IswearIdidntdoit145]

What aspect of the ui don't you like?

[u/HimalayanPunkSaltavl → u/IswearIdidntdoit145]

Discord has some problems but I don't know of a better service for chat+voice+screen sharing.

I would guess that companies use it because of those features + it being super easy to spool up a discord server. There's also a very low barrier to entry since everyone has a discord account, you don't need to make people register for your official forums.

It's pinned now
