Well I'm starting to get used to some of the changes. The 3* rainbow evo shards are dropping decently in battlefield madness, maybe equal to or a hair less than 3* rainbow evo runes. The level 8 rifts don't really seem any harder than before. Maybe in a week I'll finally be able to evolve somebody to 5* for the first time, IF I can get the 3* color evo shards to do it.
Battlefield madness is MUCH harder than before. Quite a bit harder than underworld hard to be honest, even though the levels ratings are the same. Glad I already had all of battlefield fully starred.
I yanked a red talisman out of my soldier Eddie and put in another yellow. He seems to be surviving better now, and all his attacks do more damage than his basic attack. Acrid smoke is actually usable now, btw.
I still think the talisman nerf was too extreme, and the low star talismans only having one or two stats is silly and unneeded. Don't confuse the new players any more than they already are.
