Back Alley Bruiser & Meta Human Savior Rebalancing

DonCoqui

Anyone remember the Bruiser nerf back in early 2016? Or was it in Dec 2015?!? Too much craft beer drinking in between to remember. Enigüei, @TK-421 and @Teeceezy were like... jeez it's not fair to brute force players... Bruisers weren't meant to be used to draw walkers into a tight spot funnel so you could go on killing them indefinitely... (shoot, ain't that what Rick & TWD Crew Inc do every Sunday night--oh the hypocrisy, but we'll have that discussion another day)... let's nerf the Bruiser class so that people who lack strategic and critical thinking can keep up w/ the rest, and so they don't leave. We were upset w/ big capital letters that don't start w/ U.

In come @Shteevie and more changes... lotsa changes... Challenge 2.0... wow masterful move for NG's bottom line. He's worth every penny... you should ask for a salary increase and a percentage of the annual revenue! Let me know if you ever leave for a publicly traded Corp so I can invest in them. Guaranteed returns!

Ok... I got sidetracked (butterfly) sorry... back to my point... IT'S 50%+ BRUISER DAMAGE WEEK so I decided to send my A-Team Hot Shot Bruiser team to 24.2 Back Alley to see if they could score me something for my head... three top notch Bruisers w/ 1500+ damage gear and a few cans of whoop-ass crud... really nasty stuff. Well, the meta human Bruiser must be upped on 50%+ steroids... took 12-15 swings to put the damned thing down.

Make NG Think Again... it's time to rebalance Savior power in favor of those who pay your salary.

Salud!

I was able to 2 star Back Alley at level 26.2 using my three best shooters with gold range weapons but it took about about 15 shots to finish off the bruiser once I had killed everything else. I didn't check his starting health rating but I'm sure it was north of 15k. Good luck to us all, we're gonna need it.

2 stared by lucking out and the bruiser fighting 5 walkers and kept him busy. I took out the hunter who managed to get a shot in on me. Built a charge in all three and used all 6 charges to kill the scout.

Just wait... with the new update it will only get worse!
I purely and simply don't know which demographic this company is trying to address any more. The endgamers like me have had enough and are leaving, the newbies are realizing that it's all about decades of commitment before the featured and wonderful "heroes" can even be attained, and they are leaving, and the mid-gamers are caught between a rock and a hard place, and will be leaving soon.

@Shteevie @Teeceezy ... I started this game on a new device last fall, mostly because I wanted to help my sister guild with my experience and my star contribution. From an endgamers and a newbies perspective, you are driving this game, and the personal experience we all feel, into the ground. Your next update features are an insult. Your drive for cash over player experience is, quite frankly, obscene.
Endgamer, mid-player or newbie, you have taken the fun out of an amazing core game, monetized the shit out of it, and have made almost everyone want to leave and, if not, most certainly only ever want to play it as a F2P game.

18 months ago I was astounded with this game! Now, from many personal perspectives, I am more than insulted. If I hadn't paid so much money to indulge myself with what I thought, initially, was a reputable company I would have left a long time ago. Perhaps it's about time for another refund from the App Store from a company that promises everything, lies to their player base, then reduces the value of the virtual assets they have purchased by introducing new features designed purely to purge the endgamers and coddle to the unfortunately ignorant, but presumably wealthy, new players,

The ultra-rich 2% of your customer base can only pay your salaries for so long. Did anyone at NG take Economics 101?

@Vudnik Well said. Loved it! You get the post of the month award!!!

I agree completely. No spending for me and i play, if at all, very little. Level 58 and bored with this game and the ridiculous turns it keeps taking.

psychwolf

I have no idea how to complete this challenge on a high level in order to advance to the next round
