[@alexmcclinton4560]

If the korek charm is going to be like that, then I really think they should bring back the dismantle mechanic making it easier to obtain resources such as scrap, or even craft parts from a weapon with mods on it but just make it a chance thing so its not guaranteed to never run out of parts in the game.

[@TiberiousGreene]

It takes a long time to collect scraps too, even though they are EVERYWHERE it’s like 3 here 5 there!! You’ll be spending hours trying to find scrap just to fix a weapon! If they want to charge scrap it should be way less 200 I think seems fair

I think the 666 metal scraps for the charm should change to the amount of how much durability a weapon lost. For example, if you lost 176 durability on a weapon it would cost 176 scrap to put on the charm. Edit: Apparently on twitter, the lead designer of the game, Tymon was not aware of the korek charm nerf and said that he’ll try to restore it and make it more meaningful.

[@shenanigans1413]

I don’t like how they’re changing the game to be such a massive grind, it’s you vs the environment. Who doesn’t want something to be overpowered. Every max level item takes 100 uncommon trophies to upgrade which is really annoying, especially when you’re a high level player and fighting virals at lvl 8 and 9 they don’t just die in 1 or 2 hits. I can agree with the night time changes, I like that being more difficult in chases but they should also address the almost grid-like spawns of howlers, they’re basically everywhere. If you only run on the roof tops that doesn’t matter. I’d also like to see a much higher cap on resources for the player if you’re going to make some items like the boomslang be 300+ and now that charm be 600+ once you craft that charm, you might as well start scrounging for more scraps straight away but good luck not using your weapon while you do that.

If people don’t like OP stuff in a game, then they just shouldn’t use it. Simple as that, you have this thing called free-will after all. You can choose what to use and what not to use. Just because you don’t want to use something doesn’t mean others don’t. Some games are just meant to be played for fun. If some people want to use OP stuff for fun after a long hard day of work then they should be able to do that, if others want to use the balanced weapons for a more immersive experience, then nothing is stopping them from doing that. Enough of this complaining to the devs to nerf everything. I swear it’s like people take games way too seriously because they have no life or real world accomplishments outside of video games or something. Just cool it and play how you want to play and let others play how they want to play.

Look at some games with grappling such as Apex and Titanfall, the grappling hook in those games created fun movement, tell me? Did they do anything with the grappling hook? Nope, not at all, it was used as intended, to create the most funnest and best movements. Now it ain't it chief, the most fundamental part of DL2 is now ruined, why nerf movement? Fuck the crying DL community, I don't care if it's OP or not, Techland has ruined a fun part of the game but what I can say is: this new update is good (except grappling hook and korek charm, like what the fuck?!).

[@literallyvergil1686]

@@anotherdaytobetheslayer7091 the most fundamental part of the game is parkour, the grappling hook function as intended it still pulls you forward it only stops from spamming it to slowly climb building it use is the same as before which is keeping momentum

[@anotherdaytobetheslayer7091]

@@literallyvergil1686 But of course, it's not just the parkour as the main, mixing in with the grappling hook gave more fun, I can see your point, some people would use it to the point, parkour becomes meaningless again just like in the first game. But being creative with the grappling hook (before the nerf), mixing with parkour is hella fun. For me, I prefer to combine both the parkour and grappling hook, because swinging shit like spiderman is fucking fun and doing some cool movements are what I enjoy a lot. Still, I'm pissed about this nerf, and in my opinion, a nerf to movement in general.

[@johnredacted5141]

Grappling Hook nerf makes sense (although it was super fun!) but NOT the Korek charm! that was so nice! :,(

[@takotako808]

Yep, grapple hook was the only thing that kept me going when it got boring 🤣

yeah im prolly gonna quit the game even though I got the deluxe edition lmao the korek charm and grappling hook is what made the game actually fun

[@arcanumelite4853]

actually.. it really doesn't make sense... i mean... your a superhuman with SUPER strength... and you can barely pull yourself up with the grappling hook now... hell aiden should be able to jump to the top of these buildings like he does jumping up the missile silo shaft if you chose that ending... the grapple hook being so good is what made it fun after you got tired of the tedious parkour stuff...

[@mr.balder3235]

They also changed the roll animation (tap sprint button while you're crouching) it used to scuffed looking rolling animation but now it's a shorter version of dive vault

[@maccarnold]

Thanks for this information. I won’t update my game until I finish it. It is hard for me to climb some buildings and I can do it with the grappling hook so I wouldn’t like to change that. Also the Korek charm has saved me a ton of times. I was eager to upgrade to fix many bugs that I still have but with these changes I prefer to wait until later.

[@evanthedabman7537]

Not the grappling hook noooo Edit:not the korek charm wtf why

[@NearOTX]

for real shit blows I was hyped to play after a big update but now i could careless, the grappling hook was so fun being able to move so quickly, like why nerf movement in a parkour game??

turns out the whole korek charm nerf was tweaked without tymon knowing so he's gonna make some changes to help with it

What about the grappling hook since the majority of people do not like the change

[@Keigg]

@@mariobadia4553 they're not gonna change it back, because it wasn't working as intended in general since release.. they're going with the momentum side of things so you can pull up once and you start to drop. You can still lung forward which is still really fun when fighting etc

The grappling hook was so much fun to use before the nerf so I was sad to see it go

[@missdenim6590]

Why give something and then take it away? If I paid for the game then I should be able to play it like I want to, not be downgraded. Absolutely ridiculous. I've played these games since the first Dead Island but I have no plans to finish this one. Sad

[@Odd_bolt]

Even pre nerf the grappling hook was a mere shadow of what it once was.

[@generalgungus]

Do you mean what it once was in the first game cause as much as I loved the first game grapple hook i feel like being able to use it like a rope and use it in the parkour is a lot better

[@Odd_bolt]

@@generalgungus yeah the grappling hook in dying light 1 is a gods work compared to dl2 but I don’t have anything against this one and I honestly agree with you 100% lol, it’s so much more satisfying and good for parkour.

[@Odd_bolt]

Like mechanically and just realistically dl2’s is just better and also a lot more fun, but dl1’s grappling hook was by far the best functionally as it was far more efficient

[@generalgungus]

@@Odd_bolt yeah for just trying to get somewhere really fast it's great but things like that in games always makes me so lazy though

[@sowhatimsilly4827]

I don’t speedrun and are still annoyed at the grappling hook nerf as some glitches prevented me from doing windmills correctly so thats the only way i could do them

[@SoulReaper666able]

With the new update, i am now relying more on the long range bow/crossbow and its ammo, and less on the melee weapons (which i keep only for close quarters if i fail to finish off some enemies). Changes made to Korek charm sucks big time

[@Ainavol_sans]

Lol imagine making a game thats supposed to be MELEE focused yet everyone uses range cuz of how BAD the melee weapons "were"

[@iamspidey5411]

The Charm’s going to be updated further in future patches. So other than that, I have no complaints with anything they updated.

[@ytb7326]

I hope they add legend levels eventually

[@Sapphire_Eye]

Waiting for the day techland adds an input to visually check your biomarker, you know, the one they spent time to animate so it actually ticks down as your immunity goes down, but you can rarely ever actually see the screen of. I really just wanna start a new save and not have my big ass immunity wheel at the top, or rely entirely on sound cues that could be easy to not hear or phase out while focused on doing something else

Not too happy about the charm and hook considering the charm was a pain for me to get because of it bugging but the other stuff is a win

[@HerrJaeger64]

Wow they really managed to screw up their own dev item. Such a shame. Also a moment of silence for speedrunners who put everything into the game.

[@PsyGecko]

im glad i see you mention about the howler indicators/icons and the compass still cant be hidden, i really hope they add a choice to remove that as part of the hud or something, it is so immersion breaking all those icons popping at all sides you look at, really really unnecessary to hold our hands like that, please i want to remove that. I also still dont understand why there isn't simply a toggle key shortcut option to hide the entire HUD, i want to remove that compass as well for clean screenshots for example or just chill and appreciate the game without any visual hud clutter. ( yes im aware there is mods for that in case someone points, but the hassle and pain is huge, dont want to restart the game and change files and folders for each time i feel like doing a change in the hud...) That said i feel this patch improves and fixes a lot of things in a good way, grapple hook and korek charm aside...

[@bananaboi12]

The old grappling hook was very fun to use but I definitely agree, it was pretty absurd how you could skip past whole sections of parkour because you just scaled the entire building with a grappling hook

[@embroyonicend648]

I was already done playing dying light 2 after doing both play throughs and getting platinum don’t think I’ll return anytime soon especially with these changes as I loved the grappling hook and the charm definitely don’t agree with that change but happy with the more banshees and charges but I don’t remember what a charger looks like and also it’s not enough for me to get back in the game

Im fine with the grapple hook but the korek charm should remain the same since it is from the dev room and its the only way to full repair weapons

What a ridiculous korek nerf, at least make it reasonable

[@kiwimarshall3937]

The nerf to the grapple hook is just a bad change imo it was fun to zip around buildings and it didn't even break the flow of the game. I hope they revert the change

[@rasianket7220]

Sad to see the grapple hook thing go but it does make some sense, the korek charm however is a little concerning because 666 scrap is a lot. Sure they're not hard to find but the maximum limit of how much you can carry is ridiculously low and I use almost all the time.

[@sly_aidenp_1278]

So glad they are making these small adjustments when there’s bigger problems to fix like I still haven’t gotten half of my achievements like “first shot” which you get in a cut scene at the beginning of the game….I’ve almost 100% the game and I don’t have those simple trophies ( it’s not the only one I don’t have due to the game) and like I still can’t activate my glitched windmill

[@ronnenfelt5438]

I knew Techland will start to improve the game almost instantly. It's the same as it was with the first game. All changes apart from Korek are justified. Even that one's okay, though the price should be reduced imo, OR dismantling mechanic from the first game should return. Or even both. Other than that, I can already see the game will improve from decent to perfect over time. Now, I would really love to see a complete HUD off option and Nightmare difficulty - one of my favorite combinations from the first game. And I can almost guarantee Techland will deliver at some point in the future. Looking at CDPR and EA with their recent failures - Techland have the fastest response time of all important studios

[@michaelyates9991]

I don't think many people remember DL1 too much since inception or were around. Guys and gals, Techland is amazing and they will continue to listen and then some!! Anyone remember 10 in 12? The PTSD from other developers will calm with these guys!

[@Norinia]

This is shit. The grappling hook didn’t need any change, you couldn’t just fly, you needed to catch a point, and if you didn’t half way up, you’d fall to death anyways. There is literally no reason to upgrade the grappling hook anymore because of this. The pull feature only worked if you were looking up. That was the only way it could save a person running parkour if they misjudged a jump a bit. Now, jump the gap and miss? By the time you’ve used your grappling hook, you’re already half way back to the bottom. Can’t believe I wasted so much time hoping this PoS would improve.

[@INSIGHT16]

I'll tell you what's fun when you come across the Golden renegades and use the grappling hook to pull them into spikes now that's fun...

personally the best patch out of this update has to be the tool patch. because both the grapple hook and glider for me were stuck at level 1 so i've been playing with level 1 gear for most of the game despite the blueprints being fully upgraded just because i acquired the glider in a coop session which broke it. was very annoying but i'm super excited to boot the game back up and see my tools working as they should be now without the need to install a third party debug client

They really failed with this game -A lot of bugs and glitches are yet waiting to be fixed -Choices you made changes practically nothing -Combat and Physics are not good for a AAA game -Very bad endgame content no matter how much you grind you wont get your power fantasy game at the end like the first game

[@Woppieman]

You can still go straight up with the grappling hook, use the hook, wall run up and look straight into the sky and use grappling hook again. Rinse and repeat. It’s not infinite but stamina usage is really low and IMO way better than spamming the hook ;-).

[@krayzieridah]

Haven't played the game with the update yet, but one thing that I hope they have fixed of all things, is the game-breaking bug that makes the game run at 1 digits FPS after some time.
