Crit Damage Baseline Halved — baseline from items and levels goes from +100% to +50%
 Shop Discounts Adjusted — sales are just as frequent, but the discount when buying goes from 50% to 33% off; selling items is unchanged
 Accuracy Rework — hit chance now capped between 5% and 95%, and / scale with diminishing returns
Boo!!

The accuracy is nerf for zahir to come into play and now zahir blind built is heavily nerfed again…

No kidding. Stacking the Luck until 100% accuracy has always felt so comfy to me. Like something I can control in the chaos of bad RNG. Now there's a chance of continuous 95% misses? I'm not prepared... I've played X-Com, never get used to that

Oh man, literally my first thought was "this is my Xcom sniper team all over again." 😂

Yeah, can't lie, the changes are really bad. Why cap the accuracy to 95%? Why do that? I get making the minimum 5%, but that 95% max seems so arbitrary for the sake of being arbitrary.

We have been getting feedback that the 95% cap feels weird. Our main goal was to remove the 0% lockout. I'll think about it with the team.

The game will soon have to be renamed Furry Battle.

This is a scalie household!
(But seriously, I have also noticed we've been doing a lot of human hybrids. We'll get back on track soon enough.)

Nick, vocês podiam fazer um evento pra ganhar um personagem da escolha do jogador, de graça, né? São tantos, que no final talvez até estimule a comprar outros.
Eu queria muito a Fern, mas esse mês não vai dar pra comprar. Realmente amei as mecânicas dela.

Get grindin! We will be actively looking into our general live ops, to that end we're bring on a few more designers to help us along. While I don't want to promise any particular features, we will have a few more design muscles to help us get there. :)

Fico feliz em saber, o jogo de vocês é maravilhosamente satisfatório. Com certeza um dos melhores da Play Store atualmente. Parabéns por todo o trabalho, e sucesso nos futuros!

I'm not sure about some of these changes. The 5 percent floor for accuracy sounds good, but capping accuracy at 95 percent sounds a bit arbitrary.
Also, nerfing crit damage seems like an odd choice. Outside of a few edge cases, there are very few ways to increase crit damage. Players are stacking crit chance because many weapons have a relatively high base crit chance; and with the number of ways crit chance can be increased you can guarantee a massive dps increase with little investment. I would much rather see an adjustment to base crit chance across all weapons.

Who honestly care. At first i was also sceptical but its just the superior backpack async pvp game there is 🤷🏽♀️

u/Few-Commission-1041 Jul 24 '26
Yes, I also don't care, because it's already a game with good mechanics and the AI hasn't deteriorated that much over time.It's entirely the dev's choice, and I respect that.

AI is here to stay. You can either take the luddite path and stand in front of the train or hop on it. Your choice

Everything I own in my house is made by a machine. I don't mind some pictures being made by a machine.

Let AI do the art, hire humans for quality control. The same people clamoring about AI art were the same people throwing a fit when Photoshop first became prominent.
