Certainly an interesting read, but I'm not sure it's enough to get people back into the game at this point.

1.4 patch is meh imo. match making is broken as shit.. I did an incursion on heroic with just one other person because match making failed to find any other players (it was searching whole incursion lol)

 

NPC's feel more spongy, although that could be because they nerfed crit hit chance and weapon damage on mods dropping my 1.5mil crit hit damage from 1.3 down to 188k~ on 1.4 which is aids. Couldn't even do heroic on clear sky incursion without failing.
