Check-in

Capsule gacha is in the negative for consecutive days, a total of -3,960 on the 3rd day

It hurts in a subtle way

I got an animated avatar, avatar frame, and animated sticker from the Choices Matter Festival currently being held on Steam.

Also, I got "Roll me Home" using the coupons I saved up on STOVE.

And I got "Right and Down" and "Hiveswap Friendsim" on Amazon Luna, but the list of free titles for August hasn't been released yet. I wonder what happened?

I just noticed something extremely frustrating after today's hotfix. Before this update, reaching Survival 5 through the season mechanic gave a solid triple bonus: · Morale 3 → +60% damage · Tenacity 3 → -60% damage taken · Resolve 3 → +60% shield effectiveness That was a meaningful reward for investing heavily into the Survival path. Now, after the hotfix, Survival 5 gives ONLY a +30% damage boost. No damage reduction. No shield bonus. Just a 30% – less than half of what it used to be in terms of offense, and absolutely zero defensive or utility value. And the worst part? This change was not mentioned anywhere – not in the patch notes, not in any dev log, not even in a simple in-game notification. It was quietly slipped in, as if players wouldn't notice. This is not a minor tweak. It completely destroys the viability of builds that relied on that survivability, and it wastes all the effort players put into stacking Survival cards this season. What makes this even worse is that, less than two months ago, after a major balance uproar, the devs publicly promised that they would "never let our time and effort go to waste." And now, right at the launch of the new season – the very moment when players are exploring new builds, testing synergies, and resetting their saves – they pull this kind of silent, unannounced change. This directly contradicts that promise and shows a complete disregard for everyone who trusted their words. This is a deliberate stealth nerf, plain and simple. There is no way this was accidental – it was a conscious decision to slash the numbers and remove two entire buffs, and then deliberately omit it from every communication channel. I am not against balance changes – but I am strongly against zero‑communication shadow patches. When changes are hidden like this, it gives the impression that player time and intelligence are not valued. We test, we theorycraft, we invest resources – and then the ground is pulled out from under us without a single word. This is unacceptable. Please do not treat the community as if we won't notice. We notice. And we are not happy.
