Haven't checked out how this update performs on live server.
But I can outright say that the biggest mistake Devs did is listening to a bunch of clowns from that Eu1 server, who wants nothing but to influence this update in a certain way.
Now there's part of it that's straight up unbalanced, leaving lots of loopholes to be abused. No defenders or attackers in here even want a fair gameplay with equal fight and rewards.
Amongst these posts, there's only
@Czarna who has been suggesting a balanced gameplay for both attackers and defenders while at the same time promoting fun fight.
