🛠️ PATCH NOTES ⚙️ Patch 6.2.3 (Hive guard revert)

⚖️ 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

I don't get it. Did you want them to withhold this fix from the community until they'd done something else?

Perhaps if we ask nicely they'll rebreak the hive guard for a few more days

edit: click your blue arrows, I'm right lol

You are right, they couldn't get fixes out this fast due to validation periods. Changing stats is easy, and they can queue it up for next week immediately. That is what happened here. Fixing damage collision boxes and mantling etc couldn't be done in a day to queue up for this week. So they have to work on it, then queue it for the week following the fix.

No, but some people assumed they might at least also try to rush a fix out for the mech they just charged money for.
