  1. I have encountered a bug a few times on IO, wherein an enemy has spawned somewhere but we can't find it and thus cannot complete the mission.  I have even been able to hear the enemy but he does show up on my radar despite having primed animal instinct at max.  Was in with an Equniox and his maim couldn't kill it.

     

  2. I am not opposed to the updates, but I am not sure it makes him make him more playable to most players.  The primary change to the updates seems to be that the abilities can be charged with additional energy to be more effective.  Hydroid doesn't have a lot of energy to begin with, and unless one has Primed Flow &/or is running Zenurik they are are likely to run out of energy swiftly.  To me this looks like lower ranked/newer players will not be able to take advantage of his new buffs at all, they will just run out of energy.

    Hydroid's tentacles work at their best in choke points, so not sure the increased spread of tentacles is necessary, but on the other hand if you puddle first your tentacles will be confined to a smaller area as they all manifest from the puddle.  Yet, this still leads to the above mentioned problem, running out of energy.

    Yes you can counter the energy with fleeting expertise & Streamline, but with needing to add Pilfering Swarm. for Hydroid to do what most use him for, and needing strength buffs in order for the tentacles to actually kill any enemy on a planet beyond Saturn, players start running out of room to mod him effectively.

    So in summation, as an experienced player, I am not really concerned about the the changes you have made, I can easily work within them.  I feel newer/less experienced players may feel cheated by the lack of energy to use the new buffs effectively.

    PS: I miss my tentacles having colour.
