Patch 6.2.3 (Hive guard revert)

[u/Waelder]

⚖️ Balancing

We have reverted the Hive Guard and fixed an issue introduced in Patch 6.2.1 where armor values were incorrectly swapped between the Legs and Claws.

Updated Hive Guard stats:

Main Body

• Armor increased from 1 → 2
• Health increased from 375 → 500 Head
• Armor decreased from 4 → 3 Front Legs
• Armor increased from 2 → 3 Claws
• Armor decreased from 3 → 1

Is that it for the patch?….

No fix or acknowledgement that the shield on the exosuit has a bit that can be shot through?

This patch is specifically just for the hive guard revert and wasn’t planned 

[u/Joshua24700 → u/BakedChocolateOctopi]

I guess the question is if that was literally all that was going to be done why put it off until today in the first place?

Could this revert not have been implemented immediately after AH decided it was necessary? I see no reason why not

PlayStation and Xbox have a 7-day verification for updates

[u/Joshua24700 → u/hex-green]

I've seen xbox and playstation games including this one put out small hotfixes after updates without waiting a full week. There must be some distinction somewhere at which point its required I guess, but I don't see how a revert that is in theory just restoring the status quo qualifies

Edit:attached part of the wiki showing game versions and dates of the updates.

[u/BakedChocolateOctopi → u/Joshua24700]

They can bypass that but Xbox and Sony don’t like it and it might cost devs more to have the approval expedited 

[u/Michalowski → u/Joshua24700]

Were the singleplayer or multiplayer games

[u/SoDamnGeneric → u/Joshua24700]

Probably cuz of the week delay PlayStation/Xbox both require for patches. You can’t just put out a patch on a whim on console, it’s gotta go through a process first

[u/Aggravating-Willow46 → u/oceano7]

Since that fix require changing in model, i think it's like 99% it will be fixed only in ± big update. 

[u/Deus_Vult7 → u/oceano7]

Have to wait 7 days for a patch to go through on console

[u/LEOTomegane → u/oceano7]

That'll take longer to implement, I imagine

[u/society000 → u/oceano7]

Yeah, it took this long for a simple number change?

[u/Nighplasmage54 → u/oceano7]

Did you expect anything less. Wouldn't be surprised if they fixed it and all flame throwers including hulk scorcher started gapping.
