FWIW I think the patch is mostly a step in the right direction insofar as the hand cannon change, pulse changes, and special ammo in sixes. But they overstepped ignorantly with Hungering Blade (no one was complaining about it anyway) and in the process borked a whole lot of important abilities in the game. It frustrates me especially since they knew it was breaking all these other things and chose to push the patch anyway. They give zero regard to the affects to PvE and that's gotten annoying.
I'm worried they won't allocate enough resources to fix that, and if they do attempt a fix, i'm afraid that will just break something else.
In summary, the fix to hand cannons feels great and i've been wanting it for ages, so i'm willing to deal w/ the other stuff until it's fixed. But it's clear they probably need to stop w/ patches after the fix, because it's evident they don't have the resources allocated to vet them properly.
Game is still fun to me.
