I don't see the notes you are talking about here, but so far they've had a history of nerfing everything remotely fun and useful until the game is unplayable and bland. Exactly what happened with DivOS1 into EE, and it's already happening with the first patches to DivOS2. Personally, I'm never going to install any of the patches at this rate, and obviously I won't be getting into multiplayer either, because Larian is just insistent on stripping out all the fun they possibly can.
