Samurai changes are unacceptable in the current iteration

That's what they believed when they changed DRK into a brainless 1-2-3 OGC's infested spamfest. You guys are getting a decent taste of what we had to go through.

I already got a taste when I stopped playing DRK beyond looking fly in cutscenes thanks to the diet-WAR treatment. I don't want to taste it again. SAM was in a pretty decent spot before this patch.

I want to know what the dev's intentions are supposed to be before I press further judgment, but so long as things remain as they are I stand with the majority on wanting SAM reverted. But I really really hope they eventually consider all the suggestions we've been making.

It has now been a full week since the changes. The short of it is, I still feel 6.1 SAM is a watered down version of 6.08 SAM.

Guaranteed crits on Midare and Ogi make both of these far less exciting. Instead of being blown away from Direct hit Crits, now its a small hype because really, its just a Direct Hit. That feeling of try-harding on a pull because I got an amazing opener is so much more tame than before and that's kind of depressing.

The Tenka Goken change is so bland. I've started watching Youtube while doing dungeons because why do I really need to pay attention? Its not like I need to focus on which target will allow me to hit the most enemies. QoL can and has been pushed too far. Even the slightest inconvenience must be improved.

The Kaiten change is still terrible. Now I'm spamming Shintens like there's no tomorrow. How is that better? How is any of this better?

All this patch did was flatten the high points of SAM with nothing given in return.

I agree with you man. It's beyond my comprehension why they would even do this. You guys need to continue to speak up because there was literally nothing wrong with Kaiten. It was iconic and should have never been removed.
