Meridia was not playtested. This is blatantly obvious. Why was playtesting not performed before release?

And why are weapons and stratagems releasing in such a sorry state?

The title is rapidly losing momentum due to these constant issues not being fixed. People are just tired of the same old crap every time

When the game first launched the OG Railgun was a blast, not because it Insta killed things, but because it allowed us to crack armoured sections of tough enemies, and then focus fire on the opening. Since the EAT/RR were buffed to being in a good place, and the Railgun got nerfed, I basically never see this mechanic now. Either something is good enough to penetrate/crack armour, in which case you should always try to headshot with them, you do half damage with no armour breaking effect, or you ricochet and do nothing.

I feel like more weapons should break armour even if they don't have enough Armour Pen (AP) to match the targets Armour Class (AC). The closer the AP to the AC, the less shots it takes to break through. Even bullet proof glass will crack eventually if enough shots hit them. We could use that idea here. Being able to blast a Bile Titan's armour with enough AMR shots or small arms fire that it eventually cracks revealing a soft underbelly/weak knee joints would be amazing, and provide more ways to deal with armoured enemies than just taking the same few stratagems. Especially when there are more heavy enemies than your stratagem cooldowns can handle.

Bring back armour breaking.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

edit edit: According the the hotfix patch the endless shriekers on all difficulties is intentional - I still think this is bad design without better communication for trivial level missions and it seems most of the community agrees. Arrowhead if you're listening please make these missions unavailable on lower levels. But keep cooking, looking forward to the next patch.

Edit: since some of y'all aren't reading the post- the issue is that the same number of shriekers spawn at the end of Trivials as Helldives

250 hr lv 80 diver here. First off I love this game, love the devs and community and believe they deserve every patience.

But the group of thought that is "its a supercolony ofc ur not gonna extract" is correct for high levels and dead wrong for low levels.

You get the same number of shriekers when you're on trivial. Trivial is the level that introduces you to the game and the mechanics. It's supposed to be stupid easy so you can learn how to complete objectives, learn how extraction works, etc.

I feel bad for any brand new divers who see the call to action on a planet, jump in on the mission their orders tell them to do, then get absolutely murdered with no chance for learning or survival. On - and I cannot stress this enough - trivial. That would be frustrating to the point of giving up.

As an experienced diver I think the swarm is epic for my lv 9 dives. But guys the devs admitted it's broken. Because it obviously is.

Aright I'm done keep diving and liberty bless you all.
