The ring is great for people with small monitors. As a bomber, I don't have to worry so much about the slag I don't have frozen coming up out of nowhere to ruin my day.

Like Halifix says; that's not difficulty, that's punishing people with smaller screens.

Uh, they made it so that zombies always drop loot on the initial defeat, regardless of if a totem is nearby. Now they work like gremlins and mender revive. They made it EASIER to get crowns, because if a skull disappeared, you didn't get any reward.

Also, getting less crowns (if this happens) from FSC would lower the ce price. Promos and new events change it, but it's now mostly determined by FSC payout.

I facepalmed. If its too easy, do it in proto armor..
I am personally happy about this. Because I have a pretty small screen and I often got hit off-screen, something that no skill can compensate for.

If that's too easy, play with your computer off.

If that's too easy, play it with SK uninstalled.

Press Atl-F4 to ramp up the difficulty past that.

And most pathetic is that even it OOO knows about thing, that players dislike nerfs, they did it and even didnt mentioned it in patch notes. Or maybe they even made that graphic change in last minute to drag our attention to new slag guards look instead of paying attention how easy they became now.

Stealth patch OOO style, way to go. Just a proof that they really read suggestions, but also that they dont care about it. In the sea of 'stop nerfing stuff' they now change slag guards and even dont admit it.

slag guards were super easy before anyways (blitz on spawn, or sidestep then blitz, or sidestep then FoV, or whatever), so I fail to see how they really made them all that much easier. Only time I ever get hit by a slag guard is when a teamate fails to kill it and I assume there are none while I'm running around the stage.

Personally, I like the new look and love the new death animation.

EDIT: I should mention that my group 1-shots the mask every time regardless of group size, and we never use shiv on vana. I even run into the fireballs while unleashing FoV during phase 5 because I have so much health and Vana dies so fast that I have no need for staying safe. Yea, maybe slags are a tiny bit easier for people who aren't good at them, but they really didn't change them that much at all.

If you want to complain about FSC nerfs, complain about blitz power, since it went from being OP on vana to being WAY OP with a nice 20% boost in power.

EDIT 2: The difference between payout because of how they changed the zombie loot drop is essentially 0% change. rarely if ever do people let zombies die without dropping loot (they rez them). This Just guarentees your payout and then you can run, rather than having to make sure you clean everything up in the proper order. So please, let's not cry about that.

The reason that they add-ed the ring is that so people can see the guards because many people were whining about the guards hitting them out of no where. Now with the ring you can see them!

The ring is to revive lesser zombies. I have a feeling that will come into play in the future.

What are you stupid? Revive less zombies hmm..... WHAT? Slag guards only appear on vanaduke unless you are on UFSC. So why would they be of any use towards the Resurrection of zombies? LOL?

The Ring is Labeled "Rez Ring".

Obviously, yes, it would probally be in UFSC.

I'm actually kind of blind :L. AND I'm not crying like a baby about it. And i doubt they would add guards to the FSC Depth 24,25,26 or 27 you dumb Ranick ^.^

My apologies, I overreacted a bit there. Anyway, lord troll, there is UFSC, and then they may be added to those new fancy missions somewhere along the line. My rage calling everyone babies was to those saying guards are too easy after previously complaining about how their charge tactic fufs over anyone with a smaller screen.

What?

I would say that Poylips, a Mecha Knight swarm, Trojans in a CK, Grimlakins and even a mender are top enemies.

The Slags are just fodder for Vana, and yet they before patch still didn't deter people from their speed runs, and How about this:

Mecha knight swarm in a arena's 3rd room.

Menders reving Grems...

Fighting polyps(No face, hard to track).

Running from grimlakins.

Fighting a trojan backed up by a legion of undead while in a CK.

EDIT: So bosses are not top enemies?

SL. Compare that to Slags.

Sounds more like the hardest, or the best enemy of the entire game. Which are technically the Swarm who are then the current endgame of SK.

Not LAST enemy from the boss. And gate is the area where you get a set of strata in the arcade.

Are YOU serious?

Super.

Gate by your standards are complelty different.

I'm simply pointing out flaws, so if you've got anything else to add, enlighten me.

I Simply said that they are basicly are. I only said it ONCE and you go to extend it.

And Plane is Plain in that sentence.

Well, they're not Vana. As I said, they are fodder. Just to distract you from vana. Yet as of recent, their role is less useful. People already ignore them.

The ring is also due to the fact they are un seen when they're not in your camera, cheap shotting you.

And Trojans Neigh, Kats Meow, Gremlins speak iin their language depending on their action. This is no different.

I like the reskin, and I actually like the new enemy more (old one just felt weird to fight) but seriously, you can't just march in and nerf the crap out of them, like you did with zombies. You have to actually apply some thought to it first, so that they don't wind up the enemy that is no longer broken but is now totally worthless (zombies, alpha wolvers, tortodrones, ... suprised you haven't done rocket puppies yet, JK, slooms). Instead you need to think through what roles you want the monster to play and what roles it already plays, rather than just throwing away perfectly good arts and concepts by trashing or heavily nerfing the monsters in question. This takes the edge of the harder levels away bit by bit, until you're at the point where players can AA spam brandishes through FSC, with the exception of trojans and vanaduke. So, if you're going to move these monsters away from being massive moving tanks that reshape battlefields in the blink of an eye, you need to do something else. The rezing ring is a nice touch for UFSC, but players usually kill slag guards first via FoV anyway. So yeah... if you're removing this aspect from the vanaduke fight, you've gotta change something else about it, because it's currently much too easy. And the answer isn't to just dump even more shadow fire.

This was resolved a long time ago. It's a useful change and the OP has a short temper.

Though I agree with you points.

I like the rings. They can no longer surprise. But now they're just so dang slow its funny, I don't have to worry about them anymore....
