[2019] I think the mistake was releasing a balance patch and new world tier at the same time.

We're reading a lot on the balance pass and appreciate all the feedback people are providing. I just wanted to chime in and say two things.

1. As long as the criticism is constructive we're totally fine with people disagreeing with any changes we make. What we don't want is to just have posts saying "I don't like this, f you Massive" without any context. If you're chill and provide reasons and context we're reading all of your things, even if you might completely bash our balances changes.

2. We don't consider the changes that came in with Invasion: Battle for D.C. to be huge and they're only the beginning of what we want to do in the game throughout the upcoming weeks and month. We will continue to make the game better. Patches like the Tidal Basin update allow us to implement changes without adding further patches and further maintenance. It makes sense for us, but it's not just convenience. We saw things even before World Tier 5 that were too strong in our opinion. Therefore we changed it with the patch. We also saw the opportunity to do a first pass on balance and then do a follow up before the raid. Now I don't want to promise anything right now, because things change, but I know we'll have a lot of discussions this week around balance and what we changed for Invasion: Battle for D.C. and what we want to change before the raid.

Continue with the great feedback!
