Alas, it appears the time has come yet again for buffs, nerfs, tears, and joy. Com2us announced an upcoming Monster Balancing Pre-Notice yesterday evening. Most of these changes, I tend to take with a grain of salt, as I don’t always have (or use) some of the monsters affected. Even still, it tends to have bitter sweet situation for most. It is very much the ‘nature of the beast’ in terms of changes that must be done to improve or change the meta. In truth, I’m very much in favor of it most of the time. I’ve played games where the devs were petrified to make changes to their game, and it tends to cause a huge problem with the stability and variety. It evolves to just a predetermined meta that never changes. You get those monsters, champions, creatures (what have you), and build them like every cookie-cutter build tells you too, and then you are set. While the simplicity of that might sound appealing to some, it makes for a very dull set of gameplay once you’ve done all that, and have nothing else really to do. You just move to farming runes, gear, or whatever improvements you can, which as everyone playing these games know, is (or can be) an extremely slow process, and the improvements tend to be very minimal. You can take a peek at the official balancing message on their Hive website, here sound you have an interest. Happy farming all! 🙂
