Dear Uber (update review)

I love you guys, you made this amazing game, like non other, but i have some things to say.

I'll start off with what i like, hit detecion is amazing now, and tank got his buff which he needed.

Sadly that's not a lot, now here's what i DONT like

Assassin did NOT get nerfed like what was foretold, she got killed, me and bolt discovered some things. First off, i know the damage on passive 2's lunged was supposed to get nerfed, but it didn't, again, it got killed, it's like being punched in the face by justin beiber, it barely tickles it's target, it takes THREE lunges now to take a gunner from RED health down to death, and it does the equivelent of half a dagger slash, the only way to effectively take down anything now is to backstab spam, taunt after EVERY kill, and hope to get the katana ASAP. Doing this means you can't hit the first, and most important, ANHI, it renders you COMPLETELY useless untill about 5-6 minutes in, and by then the enemy team has pushed you too far back anyways. The new lunge doesn't even kill a blackjack. I will be the first to admit that the passive2's lunge was OP, but not that OP.

Also, with the inability to cloak mid grapple (which i never did anyway) came the inability to switch weapons mid grapple, meaning face grappling is useless, and you cannot kill a gold armored tank or gunner now, i used to laugh at all gunners (minus scuba steve) and tanks (minus hudson) because i can drop them like nothing, especially gunners, any good assassin could, but now, i have to make sure that a tank doesn't even know i'm playing, or i'm useless, and i have to treat gunners like the old tank, meaning i have 2 classes i can easily down now IF i have the katana.

Lastly, the party system, parties were suposed to stay on one team, today me, bolt, telemoto, and weapon were playing, we never got split, NEVER, then pohtaytoez joined out party and game, first game he got split, then no split, then moto got split, then taytoez, then both moto and taytoez.

Again, i LOVE you guys, but monday night combat, due to the murder of the assassin, has lost it's luster to me, i don't want to quit playing this, not after all the work i put into it, all the time i've spent playing, all the friends i've annoyed the hell out of by ranting about it, and all the people i've made love this game, i originally only played it because my xbox couldn't read discs and i couldn't play reach, but now that i have a new box, reach is trying to take me from my love, i understand that this is your first big game, and you're doing well, but please, change this. I was very, very mad and depressed when i realized i waited over a month to have everything i loved taken from me.

With all due respect and love,
Rev Rabies

cant please everybody

Also forgot to add this, i'll be removing my assassin guide, because i'd rather write a whole new one once i figure out how to play the class now then completely change EVERY little thing, she's useless without her lunge and a katana

Its sad to say, but rev is 100% right

The new dagger lunge does NO damage....
I tested it with hudson a second ago, it takes FIVE consecutive lunges to kill a gold armor assassin.

Not only that, but you can not KILL a gold armor assassin with a lunge-facegrab combo
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!

After playing for about 2 hours, I changed over to an assault class.
I was no longer having fun.

Like rev pointed out, unless you get the katana now you are not a kredit to team at all.
I find myself doing the same exact thing every game now.

I don't upgrade anything but passive out of spawn, I then spend the next 3 minutes avoiding pros and only killing bots, the only pros I will attack are supports/snipers/assassins and ONLY if I'm 100% sure I can get them with a backstab
Anything else is just too high risk
You are not allowed to hit the annihilator or buy jump pads as it will mean delaying getting a weapon that isn't garbage.

With the no weponswap and blossom buff added in, you will not be killing a tank Ever.
gunners also are now a huge threat.

By the time I actually get the katana, IF the game lasts that long .....
Then the game will be over in the next 2 minutes anyway and It feels kinda pointless

The party system and host migration are also not fixed, they only work sometimes.

The only thing the update did is apparently fix hit detection and kill the assassin class.

I Won't be playing assassin if this stays, and will be removing my assassin guide as it no longer has any relevance to the class or this game.

And seeing as how my party's are still splitting, I may just not play mnc.

Not trying to be a negative nancy, But this is just silly. :roll:

THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS

And you have to be kidding me, a lunge facegrab doesn't kill a gold assassin? bs, total bs

As a gold armor Sniper, I really like this development. To often lag would screw me over by being face grappled and then before I could counter grapple the Assassin would lunge and kill me. Now it sounds like this won't be an issue. Hooray! Break open the champagne!

yes, for any non assassin it is, because (other than if you main tank(hudson)) you have no true threat anymore, nothing to hold you back from doing whatever you please

Good, now I can have a chance against BoltAktion

'Sins never held me back. 90% of the time a face grapple ended with me teeing off on the offending assassin. Now it will be more like 99% of the time. It doesn't change anything with a legit back attack though. You guys are still viable. You just have to focus on turrents and bots till you level up your katana. It's not different for a sniper who concentrates on bots until he levels up his passive.

How many good assassins have you played? cause normally, a good assassin will wreck you before you have a chance to press a button.

And no, we aren't viable, we can't lunge into bots or turrents, that kills us sooooooo much

Hurray you no longer have to worry about dieing to a class (only when its lagging) that should never be able to grapple you anyways!

Not to mention a sniper can insta kill a sin from the front while the assassin cant even kill him with a combo grapple attack anymore.

The assassin is not viable.

You just went full retard.

Never go full retard

Well in that case you are one of the few good assassin I have played. I can kill a lot of assassins, and even don't care about speed glitches because I kill them easily. So by nerfing the assassin, they have effectively killed her.

Good. Assassins were never meant to actually kill things.

I don't know where anyone got that idea.

You mean they were meant to be in the kitchen like all women?

Reverend Please. I play with and against a ton of great assassins. Your loud cloaking sound haunts me in my dreams. I know what I'm talking about. I don't care to play as an assassin, but I can understand why you're upset. Give it time. You will adapt and develop an even better style of play. Just not as an assassin. I keed.

BoltAktion- Full retard huh? OK. Sure. I disagree with you and that makes me a mentally challenged. Good argument.

Not only Bolt's opinion...

lmfao.

That's the problem. The assassin now can't front grapple + lunge the lightest armored classes in the game. The sniper in particular (which already has a pretty low amount of counters) is problematic, because his grapple is ridiculously easy to pull off and even catch the assassin BEFORE the grapple.

Sorry you guys got all but hurt, but I was the one who was attached first. Can't we all just get along?

They should nerd the assassin, their class should not be able to do half the stuff it did. It should be about sneaking around and taking out specific objects or people not paying attention, you shouldn't be able to just charge someone and slash them easily. Assassin was way gay to begin with and lead to people resorting to cowardly tactics. It will now take more skill to play it, instead of anyone being able to ruin a game with bitch *** moves.

So basically all the nerds who are only good because they play assassin, will now be whining that they can't hang anymore
