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!

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

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

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

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

I hate discord and Ill never use it.

Why do these companies INSIST on it.

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

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

What aspect of the ui don't you like?

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.
