I'm a little scared about the upcoming patch....

[Boiler569]

Right now I feel that the game is in a pretty good spot (post-tuner) --- There are still a lot of improvements to be made. Especially Clinch/Ground. But if the devs never touched this game again I wouldn't be TOO sad because I could play it as-is for a months to come.

I'm just a bit worried that the new patch will add so many new features that there will be exploits-galore again and it'll take weeks/months to get the game 'back into balance'.

As an example, I'm worried that Clinch Entries will be buffed 'too much'

Clinch needs to be buffed, but in an intelligent way. NOT just a shorter denial window...but nuances need to play a big factor, such as stamina, timing, position, and no longer being able to switch between denying TD and Clinch --- i.e. you get locked-out if you choose the wrong denial, similar to on the ground.

I would also love to see FAILED PRE-DENYS lead to more vulnerability. Both extra vulnerability to strikes, and potential for 'undeniable' clinch/td entry.


OK OK breathe......I have faith in GPD & Friends!!!


I just hope that any major buff/nerf in the upcoming patch is done smartly. I don't want the game to break and have to wait another patch cycle to get it back to where it is now.

But that's the risk you gotta take I guess to always be improving!

So....about those patch spoilers....

I am really curious about the jab uppercut hook combo, strikes from single collar, and RAGDOLL!!!!! Everything else seems in a great place.

I hope as a final F- you to the players they make grappling OP and nerf striking to death.

Right now, the only thing in striking that needs work is some of the strange vulnerability moments. Like how many rocks you can get that don't finish the fight and the how oddly predictable some rocks can get from situations I'm not sure should always cause such damage.

All the more reason they should focus on the knockout physics, hit reactions and FTF scenarios. Those enhance replay-ability without impacting core gameplay.

In other words, "ragdoll needs a buff".

TBH I actually had more fun pre minor head movement implementation. Minor duck and back sway don’t get you out of danger the same as the standard sway. They also require a more deliberate stick movement which isn’t great for the player executing.

lmao it's possible and sort of what I fear....but I mean I love grappling too so I'll adjust But I'm just hoping for a happy balance

So what you’re saying is you’re currently winning a lot and don’t want many changes!? Haha jk

I do however throughly disagree, this game is undoubtably heading in the right direction but has many, many areas it needs to improve on. Very much looking forward to this patch as I feel the devs will deliver!
