Well, there's still time to introduce new microtransactions. I suppose they tested the game, so I can't see a valid reason to nerf in a such heavy way your ammo puch.

I'm not sure, maybe the S1000 shotguns with so much ammo were just too strong?
We'll have to see if they take community feedback serious and act on it.
I had a shot gun and used it in multiplayer I'd say it's way too strong given the distance you can use it at. Easily can mow down a whole pile of Wonderers in one or two shots. I usually didn't have trouble refilling the ammo either because there was always a supply crate with some stuff in it that I could use to craft more ammo. Honestly it was overpowered. But I'm not exactly happy that they're taking my 60 bullets down to 20.
That's 60 bullets in the pouch down to 20?
And then how many on the actual gun? Another 20?
It's a harsh nerf definitely. We'll have to see how it works out.
If you have 4 people all with that shotgun, you'd have like 80 shots per person before the nerf. That's 320 shotgun blasts if you do not refill your ammo.
That's a LOT of shotgunning.
So this game seems to get way better the more it goes on.
About 18 hours in and it's just getting better and better. Once you get access to multiple weapons and multiple enemy types it really starts opening up and does what MGS5 does best, inspire creativity.
It's a shame a lot of people won't give this a shot, because surprisingly, the game is actually very solid.

Man, wait till you get to the post story game and meet the new bosses
The second location is rather intense, almost feels like a different game. Not a huge fans of the especially long defense segment followed by a boss I was ill-prepared for either.
Still generally loving the game, but WOW is the voice acting terrible for most of the cast. It is seriously the worst I have heard in years.

Sorry if this has been covered in this thread before, but does MG Survive have a story co-op mode? As in, can I go through the entire story of the game playing with someone else, or is the co-op an entirely separate optional mode? I ask because I'm coming off the hype (actually still in it) of Monster Hunter which let me and my buddy play through the entire thing together (albeit with some of those cutscene frustrations) and we kinda wanted another game that lets us do the same. I personally wouldn't mind playing single player if the story mode doesn't support it but I know he wouldn't touch it unless the entire game was able to be played co-operatively.
Co-op is only in the optional multiplayer mode unfortunately.
God matchmaking is horrendous in this game, sat here for a good 10 minutes sometimes, 1 person will join then it'll disappear.
Also is this the only way to get Purple/Gold gear and weapons, and I still have no idea when the base expansion will happen, I'm at lvl 38 and have the new skills unlocked.
Edit:
Taking the piss now, managed 2 games on normal, got an S rank on both and didn't get a single purple item.

Did anybody figure out definitively how to get 'Fabrics'? I tried googling around but no luck.
I swear I had like 10 at the beginning and since then 0, zero, null, zilch, de nada, nothhhing.
I got a purple shotgun from container side ops in single player.

Is there a weight limit upgrade past 95kg? Also, will there be any oxygen tank upgrades at all?
I failed a rescue :( Is it a big deal? The person died when I was exiting the fog, so frustrating.
I got played like a fiddle in the first explosion enemy. Threw a crystal on the wall to back stab them, and the room was full of dormant wanderers. Dead..
They fixed this with the most recent patch. Undergarments crafting takes cotton fabric now instead of "fabrics".
If you tell us which aspect of MGSV you didn't like we might be able to help you.
My last 3-4 co op games have been a complete disaster. People forget to start the digger and pick up the Iris balls.
DONT FORGET THE BALLS PEOPLE!
But i find more annoying that some players don't know their role in the team. If you are 34 level on a group of 45+ then you should have a more supportive role. Wait at the digger to start it, deploy as many defensive units as you can, go for the iris balls and the side quests, go to the red zones and get some extra Iris balls. I see many players just standing still and shooting normal arrows dealing negligible damage.
P.S:
I was just thrown out of a game that was going to be a full S rank and i can't log in now.... :(
Oh, Konami....
I kind of think this patch put me over to the hater side. I don't mind the difficulty increase to the salvage missions, but I'm a bit salty at the purple tier drop rate nerf. I'm also super salty at the change to base digger missions. Fucking stupid mechanic. I play a wave, and 24 hours it'll continue whether I'm there or not? Who the fuck made this stupid mechanic. If I don't want to wait, I can always PAY REAL MONEY to have it move faster. Didn't I fucking pay money to buy the game? Fuck. Fucking shit.
The open world was uninteresting to me, plus having to look at credits every mission was horrible.
Has anyone seen any orange loot yet ? It's obviously in the game (as theres an orange epic reward icon at the bottom of the rewards screen) but just wondering when you should start seeing them.
I think I'm done with this game...I only tried it a few times, but there's nothing about this mission that sounds fun. Having to defend the wormhole and sahelanthropus for over 15 minutes. Fuck this so much. I had been sorta enjoying myself, but these defend missions suck, and having to do it for 15 minutes nonstop. Even strapped with a shit ton of gear it doesn't sound fun.
That patch was some bullshit. Hard mode is not only EXTREMELY harder (you have to keep both main and side diggers at full tilt AND collect Iris drops) but they nerfed loot from both Hard and Normal missions.
Also, cutting pouches down to 1/3rd of their earlier capacity is idiotic.
Guess I'm done with this game. Good job Konami.

It's not that bad really, I managed to fend off the enemies with a shotgun and pistol, just had a looooot of shells and bullets :P Flew by a lot quicker than I thought it would and did it first time so it's not too bad.
78% done with the first map.
I'm not a fan of how you have to fill up the map. So many missing squares and to go back and get each one is not fun, lol.
Need to start grinding for new gear and level up some more. Currently 35.

It's ridiculous. I had no bullets, no barricades and zero power in my melee weapon by the time i finished. Thankfully i went in with six grenades which i used to take out the range attack dudes after killing everyone else. The game spawned like five more waves after that but thankfully i had some shotgun shells and pistol bullets left. Even then i had to stalk them from behind and kill them one by one.
The open world in MGSV wasn't there for us to explore but to choose a strategy and a way to approach the missions. Anyway, it's more interesting in Survive. Enemies are everywhere and not only at bases, you can't see too far due to the dust so you are exploring and there are some collectible music tapes and armour colors.
Survive is bit mission based so no credits. The only time you are watching the screen without doing anything meaningful is when you are waiting for the matchmaking.
I wouldn't go as far as dropping the game for the updates. I got an S rank yesterday on a hard mission and yes its harder but at least it requires some effort now.
It's only frustrating when squad members fuck around but i am not gonna bitch about that again :P.
As drops are now less, try investing in perks of your current items. I have been investing mainly on levels and skills but yesterday i thought about unlocking my perks and after completing a hard mission with an A rank i used all the Kuban i had earned to unlock 4 to 5 perks from my legendary gear. With the same amount of Kuban i could level up only once and increase a basic stat. The perks though have raised 3 of my basic stats and a couple extra passive abilities.
I wonder....this patch is so off-putting that you'd think it'd drive most people away from multiplayer, which it really can't afford with the sales numbers it has.
But on the other hand, what if it's really just an attempt to maximize revenue and exploit the few whales they can since they know this game has no legs, so they need to milk them dry and not give them too much loot before they also leave, and they don't really care if people who wouldn't spend a dime on microtransactions stop playing.
With the custom slot for 5.56mm ammo and full loads on a blue assault rifle, with some strengthened molotovs for big mobs, I can pretty much solo any of the multplayer matches with a C rank. If I had more ammo, I could just tear through everything as the got close to the digger no sweat.
Oh lovely. I was only doing multiplayer because I need chromium steel and a couple of normals and I'm good to go. They can fuck off now.
The microtransactions don't influence what loot you get though so those changes don't really make you spend any more money - they influence things like kuban amounts, resource gathering and battle points (you get these during special events apparently). Got a day booster pass running at the minute (which I didn't buy, they gave one to everyone yesterday for free) so can see it does nothing for the loot chances. Changes are still bullshit but I've currently got enough room for 68 shotguns so it's not been too bad thankfully.
Finally defeated the boss in Afghanistan after fighting him for like 15 minutes. Got a purple sniper and a slightly better purple chest piece then I had. Is the one in the jungle easier?
If you need chromium steel, just do normal missions, get the blue rewards and dismantle the ones you don't need, right?
I believe you can do them as many times as you want but i am not sure about the rewards. I got one purple from the weekly yesterday, i dont remember about a second.
I just completed the normal daily with an S rank and 9000 personal score ( i don't know if it matters). I got no weapons or armor.... So there is nothing to dismantle...
There's now a temporary maintenance going on, wonder if they'll make any more adjustments......
Hm, when you look at the rewards for S rank it shows two legendaries. is it only a chance of getting that when you get an S rank? i thought that's guaranteed
It used to be guaranteed, not anymore after the patch. I went through 3 matches on S rank Normal yesterday before finally getting another purple. Used to be you'd get one in every match. It's not even for an insidious reason like microtransactions since none of them effect your loot/weapon chances, it's just a stupid decision overall.
Hm, I feel they are going to revert that. It doesn't actually seem like a "balance" decision really. Like, why show two legendaries at S rank but make them random? Might as well not show any rewards at all and just go "it's random lol".
