In the 3.23 Evo patch, the player experienced a mix of good and bad elements, with the patch being unstable and not meeting the high expectations set by CIG. Many features that players were excited about were not fully implemented, such as Master modes, default item action wheel, freight elevators, and holding missions. The reputation-based hostility system was also unstable and difficult to find, making the patch overall unreliable for testing and feedback.
The player provided a detailed review of various aspects of the patch, starting with the interaction system, which was intuitive but had some issues, especially on Legacy ships like the Avenger Titan Warlock. The new Mobiglass had some improvements, such as a home location screen with interactive widgets, but the star map was deemed unintuitive and less holographic than expected. The player also mentioned new missions involving creature kills and changes to the mini-map and icons for party members and missions.
The player discussed changes to weapons in the patch notes, highlighting adjustments to optics, laser pointers, and spread mechanics. Different weapon categories like pistols, rifles, SMGs, LMGS, shotguns, snipers, and special weapons received various buffs and nerfs to balance gameplay. Notable changes included increased damage for pistols, improvements to SMGs like the C-54 and Lumen, and adjustments to shotguns to make them more viable.
Despite the detailed review of the patch notes and gameplay changes, the player expressed frustration with the instability of the Evo test, making it difficult to fully test and provide feedback on the new features. The player also shared concerns about the potential impact of weapon changes on gameplay balance, particularly with sniper rifles and special weapons like grenade launchers. Overall, the player encouraged viewers to check out the sponsor, Holz Kern, and expressed gratitude for the support from the community.
