re: the people saying "wHeRe WeRe YoU dUrInG tEsTiNg"
not everyone had the time to take part in the PTR for whatever reasons, maybe due to work or school or other real life commitments. not only that, but not everyone checks this forum and i don't remember there being a consistent advertisement for the PTR in the live game so its entirely possible people weren't even aware of or just forgot about the PTR. that being said, its also possible/probable people had opinions about the PTR changes that they didn't feel like posting in this thread... and judging by some of the reactions to negative feedback here, i can't say i blame them.
anyway, i agree with a lot of the criticisms of the balance here. while its good that combat isn't exactly two attacks and death anymore, i feel like its been artificially made slower. it takes WAY too long to get out of combat and the cooldown for the recovery button is far too long as well, especially if you're trying to hunt. i tried hunting for a little bit and its just to much of a hassle because you have to wait like 5 minutes for your health to go back to full which is.... ridiculous. i also had an issue where i used the rex's battle cry on an alpha rex and it didn't scare it away which almost got me killed. not sure if its a bug or what but combined with the extremely long cooldown for the recovery button, hunting is a massive pain at best. the cost for teleporting and reviving also needs to be nerfed by a lot and the drops need to be increased.
tl;dr pve bad pls fix thanks
