Since the Gut Feeling update the game has changed into both good and bad at the same time. I want to highlight some of the bad issues I've noticed since that update and the newest one.
First and most important are the audio and sound changes, starting with the infected strikes and ending with the paraglider's loud and annoying air-hitting sound that overtakes and covers the nice parkour-playing music. With today's Winter Tale's event, it exposed how difficult the game could get, when you get surrounded by Naughty Virals or playing normally (Community Event option off) and get Virals around you, it's really hard to anticipate their strikes. It's now hard to hear the striking sound and be able to tell when or not to dodge their strikes. And about the paraglider's loud air-hitting sound, it gets really annoying and mood-killing when you press Shift as the air sound takes over the playing parkour music, perhaps its sound could be balanced with music or just lowered a bit.
The second thing is the red body highlighting the not looted dead bodies had, it really helped in distinguishing whether you're able to loot the dead body or not, making it quick to take the decision instead of waiting for the body ragdolls to take the final position (Like for instance, when you push or pull a Renegade using the Grappling Hook on spikes it takes a few seconds till the body tells whether it has loot or not or a plague bearing Renegade's green cloud to form up). I'm aware of the previous bugs this feature had such as misleading looted body highlights but it's still helpful and much helpful in dark zones.
The third issue I've lately encountered with Winter Tale's update was with the binoculars not showing Survivors, PKs, or Renegades colored dots. It used to help knowing the distance and to identify the people within the range.
Other than that the game is great, fun to play, and getting better with updates but we need to realize that some things come at the cost of other things...
