Well I'm going to keep pushing my luck on questions I wouldn't normally ask. How influential on your decisions was the Fjords tournament?

The update patch was a few days before what was almost the first week of the League, was that intentional or inadvertent?

GOIO just went on sale again today, so they wanted to push out the update prior to the influx of new players. The league date was coincidental I believe.

We already knew there was something up with the flak.  The tournament pushed those suspicions to its tipping point.  The thing is, I really hate balancing just one for one player base.  Expert players, especially in a tournament setting (more conservative in tourney DM), will use a specific strategy.  It will really boil down to the circumstance.  The tournament was competitive, so people are conservative.  The tournament was DM, so there it devolves to DPS fights.  What happened made a lot of sense, and you can still do it.  Hang back and Field Gun/Flak people.  It's much harder now, sure.  The main issue we solved was bringing back close to midrange combat back into play.  More options on the table.

I did it at about 1pm today (2/22/13).  Check it out and let me know what you think.  Original Hwacha shots from yesterday felt fine but with Burst is was a little much.  Do the math, with Burst Rounds you'll be back to yesterday's Hwacha but nothing more :P

As soon as you said it was changed I wanted to try it out, haha. The stat changes seem reasonable though. Burst was always pretty devastating on Hwacha, and with the new rebuild times that only furthered its potency.

Yiski:
Why did loch rounds get changed where it now locks the gun in place once loaded?
