The developer stated the bug “left us with considerably of a conundrum.” “Our most devoted gamers had now reached a Mastery Degree far past what the recreation was balanced for at launch due to this bug, and weren’t getting the problem or selection we needed our Finish Recreation to present. We had to ask ourselves, what can we do to repair this, and extra importantly, ought to we repair it in any respect?”

In the finish, Rocksteady determined the Burn bug had to go. Explaining its determination, the studio stated: “Whereas there isn’t a doubt that the Burn construct is a very highly effective and enjoyable construct – it ought to be! – we did not intend for it to be the solely viable Finish Recreation construct for launch and past.”

So, the bug might be fastened in order that it scales accurately with injury taken results on enemies, as initially supposed. However Burn’s capability to scale infinitely will not be lengthy for this world.

Sadly, the knock-on impact of this bug is that Rocksteady has been compelled to reset the recreation’s leaderboards. “Since this modification might be fairly basic to the leaderboards and your continued development on them, we’re dedicated to creating a brand new leaderboard for you all, so you possibly can proceed to discover the completely different builds in the recreation.

“All the entries on the present leaderboard will exist in perpetuity and might be a everlasting report of all of your achievements. We would like to applaud you all for each your dedication on getting this excessive in the Mastery Ranges (and in addition breaking the recreation). Kudos!”

Elsewhere, Rocksteady plans to cease fight Mastery ranges 50 and past growing enemy well being an excessive amount of, too shortly. “We have seen some feedback suggesting that enemy well being at later Mastery Ranges was too excessive, which makes the climb too steep previous Mastery Degree 50,” Rocksteady defined. “For that motive, we’re adjusting our strategy to Mastery Degree balancing. Enemy well being will now improve in a a lot much less aggressive manner, with the intent that extra builds will crop up as viable choices.”

The Warmth Wave’s Molten Pores and skin and The Turtle’s Shell may even be adjusted, in order that they cut back injury taken by 90% quite than give immunity. Rocksteady, once more: “At the second, this stuff have been too simple to set off and it’s merely a bit too simple to hold the buff up, particularly at greater Mastery Ranges, and we needed expert gamers to want to use their mastery of their characters’ traversal and the mastery of fight mechanics and mastery of construct development to survive.”

Wanting additional forward, Rocksteady stated it’s going to present gamers with a glance into Season 1 in the coming weeks, and longer-term adjustments it’s interested by.

There’s a lot we don’t learn about Rocksteady’s long-term plan for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, though we do know Joker is about to seem as a playable character. Final week, we reported on how a Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League participant had unearthed a hidden message that seemed like a powerful trace at the return of Batman. Datamining has proven robust hints that Flash and Inexperienced Lantern are set to return in some kind. Different playable characters suspected to be on their manner embrace Mrs Freeze (Nora Fries), Lawless, and Deathstroke.
