I am glad they tuned down the PL scaling a bit, so we can actually kill smashers.
I think propanes are still a problem though, a single propane husk is enough to take down an entire tunnel in one shot if not upgraded, and even if you did, going in a tunnel to repair during a propane wave is impossible because they will just throw it at you and blow the tunnel up even more.
I think propanes should do less damage to structures.
If you neglect maintenance on your tunnels they will eventually fail that way, not like right now where your tunnels are just done for when you get propanes.

Thanks for the write up here, u/Rhamuk. I definitely appreciate the constructive feedback. We're going to keep looking into the changes that were made in the 11.30 update to see if / where further adjustments can be made. The tweaked down Propane damage is a solid suggestion.

Before we start hating let's appreciate there is atleast some communication and an attempt at explaining thoughts behind these changes.

Things I am missing from this post: 1) Lobbers using bees now (why was this changed?) 2) The buffing of other traps to level them with gas traps and floor launchers 3) Nerfing a mythic weapon (why? The only reason these are worth grinding for is because they so strong, it levels out with the intense use of ammo and crafting costs)

Nerfing a mythic weapon

I definitely understand the frustrations on the nerf. However, firing a single shot with this weapon was dealing an insane amount of damage... like 1 shotting Mythic SK Crystals damage. The Storm's King Wrath is still the strongest Launcher by a sizable margin and it's unique charge shot is still extremely effective. Mythic Weapons should feel Mythic... but shouldn't be at a level where it's rendering all content from very difficult to extremely easy.

Hey everyone, 

We’re here with some further discussions on some of the balance changes that were made in the v11.30 update, along with our thoughts behind them. We’ve been closely monitoring the feedback since the release and we’re happy to inform you that a recent hotfix will address some of your concerns. 

One of our primary goals was to shift the meta so trap tunnels remain important and do the bulk of the work, but require active player participation to keep them intact and functional. Ultimately, we want to make active gameplay more engaging and fulfilling than passive gameplay; which is why we are introducing these early iterations of a meta shift. Ability damage and health/shield buffs are also a step towards that, but we’ve still got some work to do.

Gas Traps and Floor Launchers

We saw Gas Trap use that allowed affliction to stack and reach damage levels far beyond other traps. We changed the Gas Trap to no longer deal guaranteed full valu...

Hey everyone,

During our current sale, there was a brief period where Founder’s Chat was incorrectly advertised as one of the pack contents. This issue has since been resolved and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused as Founder’s Chat is no longer a feature in Save The World.

To make good on this issue, we’ll be granting all players who own a Super Deluxe, Limited, or Ultimate Founders Pack a Legendary Troll Stash Llama. If you qualify for the make good, you’ll receive your llama in the v11.40 update.

Additionally, we’ve seen some confusion around which packs are available. Players can upgrade to the Super Deluxe and Limited Edition packs via the in-game Store. The Ultimate edition is not currently available.

Thank you!
