Honestly, nothing but disappointed by this news. Still no performance improvements is quite frankly not good enough imo.
They said that they're still working on those improvements, not that they're not coming. And they said before that those improvements likely wouldn't come in the first round of patching, anyway.
Glad I finished the game before they nerfed my amazing Dullahammer Heads. Those things destroy shit lol.

Yeah I know but that's honestly the disappointing part. I was really hoping the performance updates would finally be out for this patch.
Yeah I mean it is one of the fun aspects with SotN, you can wreck shit.
Dude, its not as simple as flipping a switch and they are working on it, not much worth gettinf disappointed by it, especially since they are fixing more than just performance
OP
OP
Quite frankly I'm of the opinion that the game should not have been released on the switch in its current state. And I'm holding that opinion until a patch says otherwise.
And on top of that, performance should 100% be the sole focus tbh.
Probably to incentive players to use other weapons/shard combinations? A couple of reviews and some comments online said that the game was getting boring once you got some of the early OP weapons/shards/skills.
Why are they nerfing all the cool stuff in a single player game? It's like they're telling us we're playing the game wrong.
So I completed the game on Switch already, but the nerfs are really counter productive at the moment. There were some boss fights that REALLY slowed the game down, and honestly, I relied on some strong shards. I did level them up, but because quick movements were not really an option during these fights, the shards were just super clutch. Without performance optimization, these nerfs are only going to make the game that much harder.
OP
OP
Completely agree which is why I'm coming in with this thread slightly tilted. Performance should be the main focus, even if it's one fix at a time (crashes, input lag, etc etc).
I guess, but you could just not use them. I was always experimenting with new ones when I picked them up.
Your hopes were never realistic, then. They made it very clear that patching performance would take a lot of time and effort.
Yeah, this isn't too surprising, honestly. Heretical Grinder can be acquired super-early in the game very easily and it was hilariously OP when powered up.
That the first patch was low-hanging fruit should come as no surprise to anyone, and those map improvements were especially desired by people that have played the game and been annoyed by its UI and input design flaws that are of issue across all platforms.
Performance is mostly fine. It was always going to be 30fps and that's what it delivers. Now, some users have encountered strange dips that don't normally occur which seem like a bug but this patch isn't going to boost frame-rate above 30. Not realistic with this hardware and UE4.
OP
OP
I'm definitely not expecting fps over 30.
I want a fix for the numerous crashes I've received and horrific input latency.
I assume you know gamedev is not ticking a box next to "have more frames" text field? This takes time. They've laid out their plans previously. This is in line with those plans. Nothing to actually be legitimately disappointed over.
Most likely, the people working on balance and small changes like the UI and stuff that show up here are most likely not the same people working on the performance.
What is with all these nerfs? I used Welcome Company through the entire game as well as the Rhava Velar when I could craft it. The whole point of these Igavania game is to become OP by the end but meh, I've already gotten 100% map completion anyway.
OP
OP
It absolutely is something to be disappointed over when it should never have been released in this state on the switch. It absolutely is.
When they are actively making money off it then I am completely entitled to feel this way.
If they held off the released and provided us with patch updates like this then I'd 100% be behind them.
my backlog thanks them for delaying the performance updates.
Once they're released, i'll be good and ready

They working on the performance, they've said before that performance improvements are coming and that they wouldn't be in the first patch. Would be nice if this thread could actually be about what this patch does rather than be another bitch fest about the game's performance. But OP clearly didn't make this thread to discuss the actual patch
Started on PS4 the other night, so I don't need Switch fixes (I dodged that version on purpose) but...
they definitely just nerfed a shard I use, a weapon I've been using a lot that admittedly probably merits it (Rhava Bural), and the weapon I did a tedious platforming section 5 times last night to get (flying edge)
Map fixes would be worth it, though. I keep accidentally placing markers instead of closing it.

You can be disappointed, but from my perspective, you're also overreacting. Plenty of people that have played the Switch version have done so with minimal issues regarding input lag and crashing. I myself never experienced any crashing at all in the 25+ hours it took me to beat the game for the first time. I also did not find the lag that noticeable while playing docked on my particular television.
OP
OP
*shrug*
I don't know what to say. To me it's been nothing but a sour experience to the point where I feel like a delay would have done them the world of good and avoided most of the negativity surrounding the switch version.
But I'll leave my say at that since a lot of people seem to be confused at my annoyance/disappointed.
But this is just the same old disappointment from the release version. Like, I don't get what's new here.
Because all that shit is broken beyond belief. Thank god they are balancing their game. Nothing worse than stumbling across a weapon I like to use that is vastly OP. Play easy mode and all these weapons will still walk right through them probably.
I swear man the Iga crowd is ridiculous sometimes when it comes to balance.
Are we sure Igarashi is even producing the game anymore? Nerfing is kind of against the spirit of Igavanias.
Screen transition loads can definitely be bad. That's the key thing I'd like to see patched based on my personal play experience. But it also didn't prevent me from enjoying the game overall or put me off from playing it.
