TheComposerNC:
Ok, mostly bug fixes and adjustments. But why are we not getting the stats that changed anymore? It only says for the helios as an example: reduced direct and indirect damage… by how much? Give me the numbers. Same with the kingsnake increase in Reload Speed… HOW MUCH! I hope this trend is not continuing.

StrikingSpliff:
Wrel was interested in the maths behind the balance. Guess at the moment they are less worried about it.

Stummeursel:
They say "do your work theorycrafter, you get some YouTube content there

Fallengud:
If they would give any exact numbers then they would deny the excitement of exploring the changes in depth
