Looks like a great patch.
Haven't tried it yet but some of many player's main concerns seems to go in the right direction (mostly the UI).
Don't forget to turn shove into an action next time, please
I'm so disappointed Maximuuus. Not only did they NOT reduce Shove distance, they gave us ridiculous throw so characters can now Shove and Throw ridiculous distances in a single round.
I understand it's EA, but they don't seem to be moving in the right direction. Instead of fixing extreme mechanics, they're adding more. I said more in the Shoooove thread.
Yay Barbarian! Yay UI fix. Hope it's all they said it is. LOOKS good. Hope it works as good as they say. But overall, until they fix the OP mechanics, this game is going to continue to be frustrating.
We had to wait for patch 5 for them to fix disengage/jump and bonus action.
Patch 7 isn't focussed on action economy and balance but on the new class, the UI, a few new features and a lot of polish.
I still think that they will fix shove (and throw, and so on) in one of the next update.
I can hear that they want to allow players to have fun / to do "stupid" things. But I can't think that they plan to ruin very interresting feature to make them "common cheesy mechanics" in a tactical game.
Shove is not fun because it's a bonus action and throwing is not fun because you can throw things so far.
Playing Barbarian Dwarf. Threw intellect devourer to lower level of the nautiloid. Half its health gone in one throw. 2 rounds later, shoved thrall OFF the nautiloid from the upper, inner level. One shove KO. Next round, threw devourer again to lower level. Killed it. Next round, shoved another thrall off nautiloid.
Yeah. Needs some fixing. Killed Zalk too, with mind flayer help, of course, without using a single weapon or spell on him. Throwing imps and shoving into brine puddles and such.
Other than that, I am noticing improvements, and I do think the UI is better. Needs some work still, but better.
Well, at least, those are my initial impressions.
