two tanks is more fun and now the single tank has more pressure to press w, make space, and not feed than before

yeah some versions of the final boss are a bit of a pain, i never used the cannon in the main game and the better ending of destroying all the elder things means thats all you have in the ending

and there are some combinations of perks that synergize really well and getting those early can be a big difference

i hacked up a save game editing workflow to see whether that combination of perks was worthwhile in the early game, it involved conversion of .net binary dumps to json, some semi-automated modification of the data structures and then conversion from json back to binary, ive probably forgotten some of the manual parts of the workflow but fully automating it seemed like itd mean reconstructing in-memory data structures from a .net dump, which was absolutely not worth it for what i wanted to do

didn't even think about how much worse it is for tanks. definitely seems like it's set up for tanks to not have a great experience.

yup

instead of trying to balance or make support/tank more interesting to play, they removed a tank slot so queues full of DPS players move faster and eliminate the dps main rolling roadhog/offtank. I’m sure there were other reasons that might be slightly better than that, but poo poo still sucks

there was some "cheat" rumour that involved talking to the lemonade vendor 100 times and being an idiot child I tried doing it.


to be fair the actual cheats/glitches were similarly weird

i was only able to play a few matches, but i agree that this is not ideal, especially because i'm used to playing off tank and doing my best to enable the main tank. i think you need two tanks to pull off an effective maneuver, now it's just two groups of five smashing head on with no finesse

Forums poster ElephantGun mentioned a glitch that let you save General Leo in FF6 and keep him in your party. Well, except you can't take him to the world of ruin, although who knows if something else has been discovered since then. This was discovered by some random poster on GameFAQs and nobody really commented on it until EG made his big showcase thread. Apparently that was one of the more popular made up playground rumors of the day and somebody stumbled on a way to make it happen.

I loved overwatch because of the synergies you could get going. Enabling your teammates and being rewarded for playing as a team via ability management and synchronisation was fun as hell, and now it looks/feels like a street brawl where whoever’s tank dies first probably wins the fight.

you would think moving to one tank would slow the fights down since your tank needs to press S way more often to stay alive, but instead since it now fully caters to DPS mains, you just melt and die

I haven’t actually played so this take may be incorrect, but this is just based on watching some streams

Oh yeah, there were so many stories about bringing General Leo back, most of which revolved around getting an elixir of life from the dinosaur forest place. None of it worked of course but people kept trying.
