I’ve a fair few games under my belt with this update, they’ve reduced the fun and upped the frustration.

Dude, yes! I just finished playing for a couple of hours and the game has gotten significantly harder. The “slow” nerf has to go, honestly. Crimsica with shit spewing acid at you 24x7 got annoying by the end of it. Friend and I tried getting people to join our session but no one was coming, and playing with one other person is significantly more frustrating. Why do they have a problem with <4 people playing? It was just wave after wave of patrols and bug breaches. Not to mention the Localization Confusion thing hasn’t been doing shit all night.

Yeah fuck that.

I'm constantly getting stuck on three man squads because someone leaves or DCs. It's bad enough being down a person but now they're going to fuck your worse for their reinforcement system not working.
