You participated in our Experimental Weekend, you answered our poll, we reviewed the data.
Now, we finally reveal what you told us.

By arne | Twitter @arnemeyer | Wednesday February 10 2010

About two months ago, in early December, we ran a little experiment over a weekend – we would lower the health for all players, in all playlists and game types, to be roughly the equivalent of activating the Crushing variation in a Custom game.

We wanted to see what you – our player population – thought about this change. We also invited everyone to take a poll on NaughtyDog.com to let us know what you thought.

After a couple of months had passed, we took the poll down and looked at the data we got from running the poll. The results are in the graph below.

Experimental weekend poll results chart

What did we learn?

Overwhelmingly, to the tune of 39% of everyone who replied, you let us know that you enjoyed the lowered health during the Experimental Weekend. Coming in at a close second, 33% of you felt that it was a good thing as well, but that we should keep it within its own playlist, rather than have the lowered health active across all playlists and game types.

By contrast, only 20% of respondents disliked the lowered player health outright. If we take into account everyone who responded critically to the Experimental Weekend – adding those who didn’t like it along with those who thought the health was lowered too much – then 24% of all respondents didn’t like the change to player health.

Even counting our margin of error (at the bottom of this post), the results are pretty clear – the majority of you liked the lowered health.

So… where does that leave us?

We hosted the Experimental Weekend to see if the lowered health addressed criticism that opponents were “bullet sponges” without affecting the overall game mechanics. After reviewing gameplay data and the poll results, if this is something we really wanted to do, then the answer would be far more complex than just changing health.

After a lot of tweaking and a ton of internal play-testing, we collectively determined the only correct way to tackle this would be to tune a broader range of multiplayer mechanics rather than only change player health.

Our upcoming Title Update 1.05 will reveal the minor weapon damage and attribute balancing we’ve done based on this poll, which we feel evolves our multiplayer game and keeps it fun to play and true to our gameplay philosophy.

(Results are based on a poll hosted on NaughtyDog.com which had 5,920 respondents, after removing duplicate and invalid responses, that was conducted from December 4, 2009, to January 30, 2010. For results based on the total sample of our unique player population, one can say with 99% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±1.7 percentage points.)

I played some Ranked today. We won the match and my rank went from 23 to 1..

Catching rounds through a wall from the FAL..

Lets deal with the major issues before we decide whether 2 less bullets should kill someone or not.
Thanks.

Naughty Dog, for one thing, posting the poll only on your website was sneaky. I hate the new patch. I’m not a noob, I’m not a 12 year old gamer, and I haven’t posted before now because normally I lurk. But I feel driven to post now because you have ruined a good game for me. UC MP is the only multiplayer game I play online. It was fun. I didn’t mind the bullet sponges because I too could soak up bullets and come out with a sporting chance of surviving. That was fun. That lent chance to the whole game. You have diluted down an excellent experience. I was at level 30. I say ‘was’. You are very close to losing me and my money, which I will NOT spend on you to support awful upgrades like this. I don’t like being killed instantly when I spawn by someone with a FAL who doesn’t even have ‘Down the Irons’. I don’t like having cover be useless because I again get plugged in the head by a FAL. I don’t like getting hit in the foot by a sniper bullet and dying instantly. Where is the challenge of head shots? I don’t like being killed before I take 2 steps to try and roll away. I don’t like being penalized money for connection errors when it’s not my fault!!! I don’t like having the medals/cash pop up in the middle where I can no longer read them if I get killed (but this is a minor issue). Do you understand??? I’m bitterly disappointed in you. If I had seen that poll I’d have posted I hated it. I hate it now. You have killed this experience for me and all I want to do is cry when I think of it. I’m afraid this will cost you in terms of money, at least for me, as I will heartily recommend to my friends that they NOT play this game. I myself will probably stop playing. Please change it back again. Thank you.

First off there is not enough players to make a separate playlist. Second having players be able to run off is just a pansy move, it is just as bad as campers. I personally stopped playing U2 because of all the newbs complaining about high levels being too strong when in truth you should expect that. Higher levels have more experience in game. I understand that you don’t want this game to be like the others, but in order to be so wide spread with popularity then eventually it will be like every other game. The only unique part about this game is that its 3rd person.

Posted by: Gannon_34 on 02-11-2010

I know this has been said before, but just because a majority of poll respondents liked the new game play doesn’t mean everyone will, there is a massive self-selection bias on your poll, in that only gamers who were here on your website participated. Not to stereotype, but the people who look at game blogs tend to be the hardcore gamer types. Uncharted, IMO has some of the best multiplayer on the PS3, and i would hate for it to ever become inaccessible to new players and casual gamers because of a difficulty change.

Posted by: jackthemayor on 02-13-2010

Actually I beg to differ. Team Fortress 2 on the PC is one of the best mp games out there because valve listens to the pc community. With the exception of Sandman the game balance is almost completely unblemished.

The developer should listen to its community, however its up to he developer to create a balanced gameplay experience. well balanced = good times, poorly balanced = mass ragequit.

No game is completely perfect but some games are better than others when it comes balance. So far ND has done a pretty darned good job. I fit into the slightly below average in terms of skill, and i think they are well on the right track.

Posted by: DeadnBuried on 02-12-2010

That’s exactly the reason I use to tell people why Uncharted 2’s so brilliant online.

I got MW2 for christmas and it’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever played. There’s no skill involved at all, if someone spawns behind you then you’re dead, there’s no way out of that; If someone sees you you’re a goner, skill isn’t even part of the equation.

I’d HATE for Uncharted to become that way. You’d have campers in full force, so many cheap kills, you’d be dying more than actually playing. As it is now; if you’re better than someone then you have the chance to make that clear and that’s what makes it so satisfying.

Lowered health would have to be optional or I’m out.

Posted by: sam_online on 02-11-2010

it does take some skill to juke and dodge someone who is shooting at you with an ak or a fal unitl you get close enough to them to blast them with a shotgun. the brainless weapons IMO are the rpg and hammer. that is why u only get two rounds of rpg and 6 rounds of hammer (takes two shot to kill) which equates to 3 rounds.

Posted by: fire_spirited on 02-12-2010

If a shotgun bearer is located on a mediun distance he has no chance against AK-47 or 92FS-9mm. I am getting hit in my back with it most often. I am not using shotgun on principle. RPG and M32-Hammer are also brainless. I hope that NDI will cut those weapons to pieces.

Posted by: x_x_JL_x_x on 02-12-2010

A separate play list like rifles and handguns only with NO grenades would be great. I think they had an option similar to that on the Beta.
Over using the shotgun is lame but it is fun blasting someone in the back or running around a corner and getting them in the face. I’m really done with getting killed by random grenades. I’m just as guilty though.

Posted by: westxtk on 02-11-2010

The grenades do have a certain countdown - starting after they hit the ground. It just seems really short when the grenade is thrown directly at the ground.

In a way, I agree with you - the grenades shouldn’t have such a large “kill” radius. Instead, they should have a larger “knockdown” radius. This way the current anti-knockdown booster would be much more useful.

Posted by: mi_dude2 on 02-16-2010

You speak for all of us, I love the idea of a 2 hit melee, it just sometimes really ticks me off when I punch someone, he’s not stunned at all, and he turns around and blasts me with a shotgun, or his buddy shoots me with an AK-47.

Posted by: PHOENIX-HUNTER on 02-16-2010

its lost it,s fun alreadey.they soldout when they added other game skins to uc2 now the neg boosters are not needed you have half health alreadey.stop fixing whats not broke.i like that you kick players who just stand there but standing still or kicked out its still 5 to 3 ect.let other players join in

Posted by: colbent on 02-12-2010

I think what he’s trying to say is that if people would have known that you really wanted to know how many people didn’t like it, you shouldn’t have put a “put it in it’s own playlist” option on the poll because there are people who didn’t like the experiment, but still voted to put it in it’s own playlist out of consideration for people who could have like it. If that option was not in the poll, I think it would appear that many more people did not like the changes.

Posted by: westxtk on 02-11-2010

Well said. I agree completely. Those who voted “Give it its own playlist” obviously didn’t want lower health everywhere. This poll estimates the general opinion on a change in ALL playlists and game modes; therefore, “Give it its own playlist” clearly says “NO, don’t lower health in all playlists and game modes.”

Thinking along these lines, 57% of respondents didn’t like this change in ALL game modes and playlists. Just something to consider.

Posted by: Josiahpsn2 on 02-12-2010

I did not vote unfortunetely, and quite a few of my friends who have high levels in uncharted did not vote either, but seeing the results and how they have been interpreted by ND (OP’s post at top), i now wish i did vote, especially as i and all my friends liked the idea of having an extra playlist for reduced health (crushing), but at the same time absolutely hated the half health weekend.

I have to admit after playing a few games i too got so frustrated with it that the game found its way back in its box, and remained unused until the experimental weekend was over.

IM no noob to this game either as ive reached level 59, and actually got to the late 40’s during the BETA before it reset.

I must say its the most enjoyment ive ever derived from a multiplayer game to date, and for that, thankyou ND, also i understand others liking the lower health thrershhold, whether this is a result of people being used to “camping” games like MW2 etc or for other reasons is fine, but as ive already stated i for one and many of my friends who have resolutely expressed similar sentiments say - “no to lower healt!!!” with the exception of it having its own playlist.

And i agree with poster westxtk’s (directly above) interpretation of the poll results on this one, not ND’S unfortunetely.

Posted by: sup_foo on 02-11-2010

Arne, I have a question about grenades and wonder if this is something that is going to be fixed or if it can even be fixed. When grenades are thrown at me they blow up on contact and sometimes even before they land. I cannot roll or jump to avoid them. If a grenade is throw at me I blow up no matter what. My grenades however take time to blow up. I toss them at somebody and they can roll or jump out of they way without any damage and get right back to shooting me. My grenades have a timer where others do not. Can you explain this for me?

Posted by: shosho1019 on 02-11-2010

dude omg again with the bullshit updates we need maps the game is boring maps we need not some bullshit. dont u ppl get it yet at nd? fyi the total players who voted for the lower health didint know how its going to be so they voted before they even teste it. if u ad the numbers u can see 3591 ppl dont want lower health. fix the mele and the grenades. and bring more stuff for players. ie boosters. guns.after lv 58 u get nothing anymore do something. but pls pls stop with the shit updates that nobody cares about and ur not helping. fix the curent problems

Posted by: WizzleHumpback on 02-11-2010

Wow. Why change? The people still playing multiplayer are die-hard, loyal fans who are still playing it for a reason. Why change what they love? You can’t tell me that this poll represents the majority of Uncharted players out there. I can safely say that I’ve been a fan since the first beta in June and that I will now officially retire Uncharted 2 after this update. How disappointing.

Posted by: cornellian88 on 02-11-2010

your logic is faulty - if you had asked simply if people liked it or not your results would muc different. you failed to ask the right question and then misinterpreted the results. You have to consider that people who thought it should have its own playlist feel that it shouldn’t be extended to the standard game - that means they didn’t like it and throws your argument on it’s you need to rethink this change before you piss off a majority of your players - do your math!

Posted by: JBoogie2115 on 02-11-2010

HMMM so basically now only half of the people who play this game on MP will be Actually happy playing it.... IMO I think ND should just make its own playlist for this or leave it how it is. They may reason that only half the people playing it NOW are happy due to the health being to high, but i think its needless to say that by making it harder for the newer players would be alot worst. I really think ND should reconsider.

Posted by: sam_online on 02-11-2010

okay, how do people read ‘After a lot of tweaking and a ton of internal play-testing, we collectively determined the only correct way to tackle this would be to tune a broader range of multiplayer mechanics rather than only change player health’ and assume that the same reduced health from the experiment will be instituted in the update? ND has created an awesome game, give the update a chance before crying about it for Pete’s sake!

Posted by: burddawg70 on 02-11-2010

arne, the comments are usually some percentage of the respondants said this, etc. Did ND take into consideration the average number of players logged in, on weekends, etc in particular the number of players that experimental weekend? On a good weekend, the number of players online could be over 10K - leaving your respondants around 60% of players that play, and putting those that love it or not enough at around 30% of the total players (on a good weekend) representing those that just may not come to this blog. Was that taken into consideration? I’ve seen 18K on Double Cash weekends - that is NO where close to representation! Fix the stupid crap of disconnects from the PS3 network and then getting a $40K when you “quit” when you really didn’t. My 2cents for the best game created and possibly getting screwed up with v 1.05

Posted by: BreasticalsIRL on 02-11-2010

O.K since 9/10 replys in this blog are “Reconsider Giving it its own playlist” and we have heared nothing back CLEARLY your going ahead with it :(
Then can you atleast tell us when the update will take affect so I along with others can clock there last hours with the game we’ve grown to LOVE......

Posted by: Geppo28 on 02-11-2010

lower health? no thx if you guyz just made a Yes or No poll ull see there would be more ppl on No . Just make its own playlist and everyone will be happy jesus . if u lower the health , this game will be just like shooting from back ,i like the way uncharted 2 is , becuz if u get shot from the back u actually have time to cover and all that stuff

Posted by: xSlimjimmx on 02-11-2010

Im confindent ND knows what they’re doing, and that if indeed this tweek does turn into a problem than I am sure they will fix it or revert it back to how it is now. Right now you guys are complaining about nothing, NOTE im against reduced health, but they never actually said they will reduce the health in the first place. The thing is you all don’t know how this will turn out, give it a chance. Its all trial and error.

Posted by: sscoolChea on 02-11-2010

Dear Naughty Dog

Please leave the gameplay the way it is . If someone thinks there a badazz they can always use there half life or the half ammo .Please fix with people disconnecting , add more maps multiplayer/coop , some more guns and kratos would be nice as a skin. I would love to see the bow arrow in the game as a one shot like the shot gun. And if i’m not asking to much how about a patch for voices for the first batch of skin . I was expecting my helghast to grunt . But he’s mute helghast :(

Posted by: stegabba19 on 02-12-2010

yeah just brush aside the majority for the minority great move ND :| i voted give it its own playlist so people could choose to play that if they wish to, not if more people vote for it we will give it to them so what was the point in giving votes if only the one with most votes gets the call?

Posted by: Grimwood on 02-12-2010

Can’t stand the short time span people who actually thought the lower heatlh was good (go play CoD!) - that was/is one of the best things in UC2 multiplayer - not to die immediately and actually have some kind of (gun)fight, that’s what makes it FUN (instead of BOOM, dead, respawn).
Anyway, as far as you don’t just force it on all players (and just have a single playlist or whatever you come up with), that’s obviously fine.
Thanks for updating your game, like usually only Blizzard does.

Posted by: Crashdude55 on 02-12-2010

There should be some sort of in-game abuse report system. (For example if someone’s glitching, or camping, afk, etc.)

You just go into a “Report Abuse” thing (maybe an option on the menu) then you just attach the cinema file, select the name of who was doing something wrong (select it on the scoreboard), then maybe attach a quick message saying what they were doing wrong then press OK.

You should take it into consideration ND. Maybe it’ll lower the amount of complaints there are about people glitching and stuff.

Posted by: csco91 on 02-12-2010

Will the max amount of cash earned in a game raise from 50k some time soon? It would make sense to raise it in a plunder game at least as I, and probably quite a few other people, get 50k within the first 5 minutes of the game.

Posted by: cadbury1 on 02-12-2010

I dont see how you can possibly conclude that the majority of people like lowered health…
voting “Give it its own plaaylist” does not mean people like it. It means what it says. People dont mind it, but they DONT want it lowered all the time for everything, only for an occassional game. *Sigh*

Posted by: killman234567891 on 02-12-2010

please make it 2 shot kill with shotgun and those grenades are nuclear bombs! and reduce the punching damage its too much! and yes make a seperate playlist it would be awesome since i am trying to get level 60 currently 48 half and yesterday i lost 40k because of auto sign out that wasnt fair?!

Posted by: x_x_JL_x_x on 02-12-2010

You couldn’t enjoy the gunfights and battles you get into. While it would require you to adapt and be skillful in a different way, it’s better to leave it in a separate play list to choose. COD is its own game. Lets leave it that way. I enjoy playing this MP much more.

Posted by: Dudeman2 on 02-12-2010

Is this an early April fools joke? This completely ruins the whole point of Uncharted. People play this because they want to be able to come back from getting shot in the back and win if they are better. Now it’s just another cookie cutter COD...in 3rd person. Naughty Dog, you have made a big mistake. I know this comment will be meaningless and most likely wont be seen by anyone working at ND, but if your like me and wish to keep Uncharted good, not a “I only like games where if I get someone from behind I instantly win” game, then please say something to ND...Or at least respond to this comment.

Posted by: Demonicshadows2 on 02-13-2010

IF YOU ADD UP THE PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T LIKE IT AND PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT IT SHOULD HAVE IT’S OWN PLAYLIST IT’S MORE THEN THE PEOPLE WHO LIKED IT. SO TO GIVE PEOPLE AN OPTION TO GIVE IT A NEW PLAYLIST SEEM LIKE THOSE PEOPLE DIDN’T LIKE IT TOO MUCH EITHER. I ALSO DON’T THINK GIVING IT OWN PLAYLIST IS EVEN AN OPTION. I HOPE SOMEONE FROM ND READ THIS AND THINKS ABOUT IT I THINK IT’S A VALID POINT. I DIDN’T LIKE LOWERED HEALTH AS YOU CAN TELL.....THANKS FOR READING ND.ND.ND.ND.ND.ND.

Posted by: OLDMAN543210 on 02-13-2010

I bought the 1st uncharted and loved it.....I bought the uncharted2 for the MP experience.....the game is excellent....but the cheats and glitches I wont deal with....so that’s probably the last 120.00 ND will get from me.....make fun if ya need to......but you have experienced the same junk….I just done something about it….I broke it in half

Posted by: losPrests on 02-13-2010

-How ND should read the Statistics-
Well by the polls statistics. You guys at Naughty Dog should make a few more playlists just for the crushing health. Based on the stats more then a third said give it its own playlist. And the rest that say they dont like it DONT have to play the playlist thus you can count them in with those people that say give it its own playlist. so in the end the numbers are 3,376 people are for having it have its own playlist and 2329 loved it and think every playlist should have it. But thatd be a lil selfish so personally agree with the give it its own playlist. And a mere 215 said it was still too much. Soo by overwhelming demand i beleive it should have its own playlist.

Posted by: jackthemayor on 02-13-2010

I would like to say that I think Uncharted 2 offers probably one of the most unique multiplayer experiences around. I love it because you guys chose to do your own thing as opposed to ripping off everything else out there. That being said adding a crushing cvar to the game type sounds like a good idea to me. However I would make it an option for matchmaking. Not everyone would like having it as it as the default game configuration. I don’t think I actually played during this experimental weekend, this is just my 0.02$

As for things you could change adjust for crushing. How about the health regeneration rate. limit weapon types to 1 of each type and may be even the number of spawn locations. Set weapons like the RPG7 and the grenade launcher to not appear at the beginning of the match and have it spawn only once every 25 kills or once every 5 minutes. This way people who know right where it is can’t get it right off the bat and gives players who maybe don’t know the maps as well a chance to get it. Make the player choose between 1 type 1 booster or 1 type 2 booster.

I don’t really think that the game will become a camping fest just by adjusting the health settings. The overall flow of the game is pretty anticamping to begin with. Most maps are laid out in such a manner that camping really isn’t a good idea. That’s not to say that it can’t be done, its just that in 5 vs 5 camping isn’t exactly an effective strategy. That and most games move at a very fast pace, especially plunder.

Posted by: jackthemayor on 02-13-2010

I love the mp in uncharted 2 because it brings most of the elements of the single player to a multiplayer game. I also like the fact that it isn’t Call of Duty 4 in a different package and nor does it try to be. I did not play this particular weekend however here is my 0.02$.

I personally like the idea of a crushing setting in the mp. However I think it should be it’s own separate setting as I don’t think it will be popular with all players.

You mentioned changing things beyond the amount of health in this particular game play mode. Here’s a list of some suggestions.

adjust the health regeneration rate
not sure how this would affect game exactly but its worth looking into

limit the number of weapon spawns, weapon types, and the amount of time it takes for weapons to respawn
I guess the idea behind this would be to keep one team from grabbing up all the power weapons and causing the match to be one sided. make it so there can only be one gun of a specific group on the map at one point in time.

make players choose either one slot 1 or one slot 2 booster no boosters
the idea is forcing the player to part with an advatage of one booster to keep another and possibly reward a player for not choosing a booster or for choosing a handicap

No booster mode?
not sure if this should be a separate mode or if it has a place here

handicap only mode
not really sure where any of this fits in but i figured i would throw it out there.

player respawn time
personally i think it could be a bit shorter in some gametypes

I could be spouting a bunch of nonsense but if you guys get one good idea out that I guess its worth it.

According to the blog, there were 5920 respondents. That’s about 12% of the 70000 people that the in-game menu says play each day (and skewed towards the people who regularly visit this blog or the forums). Now, of those 5920, 2164 (37%) were in the “too much” and “didn’t like it” crowd. Another 1949 (33%) said “Give it it’s own playlist”, meaning they didn’t want ND to change the overall game (regardless of whether they liked or disliked the change). That leaves about 30% of the poll respondents who wanted the overall damage effects altered as they have been. So 3% of the daily players voted to alter the game in a way that was unwanted by the remaining 97% of us? How could ND consider that a mandate to make such a huge change to the game? I hope the backlash causes at least some of these alterations to get toned down again…

Posted by: mi_dude2 on 02-16-2010

I personally despise this patch.
For 1, the dragon sniper is a 1 shot kill, even in the leg, which totally takes skill out off sniping
Also, Something you did jacked up the power of the FAL like CRAZY!!!
And now you can litteraly shoot someone once or twice with the 92FS and then punch him and it’ll kill him, not cool!

I’ve always liked the hard-to-kill mechanics of the game, it took a lot of luck and lagg out of the equation and replaced it with skill and on-your-feet reflexes, please change back!!!
(OR at least make it it’s own playlist)
Also maybe a play list where you can leave a game in progress with no penalty and other people can join a game in progress
Also, those variants of death match, (pistols and grenades, RPG only) they should get their own playlist.

Posted by: Booyahinyourface on 02-16-2010

Wow. Naughty Dog really screwed up. Like what were they thinking?

Why didn’t they make it it’s own freakin’ playlist? Then it would it would make everybody happy. The people who liked it and the people who didn’t. It completely ruins the gameplay because now, you’re forced to be more cautious and hang back. I don’t know about you people, but I like to play Uncharted because you can do a bunch of kick-ass stunts do whatever you want. But now, that stuff will get you killed. And they continue to ignore problems with the game like how easy it is to throw grenades where people will throw grenades at your feet and run away, which wouldn’t be a problem if they had a fuse time. And it’s not recent news. People have been complaining about the grenades since the beta. Another problem is that the dragon and RPG spawn in elimination mode is bulls***. The match just boils down to which team gets to those weapons first. ND is improving the community, but making the gameplay worse. If this keeps up I may stop playing the multiplayer all together.

Posted by: buzzerr3 on 02-16-2010

When 3108 people didn’t like the experimental weekend, and only 2329 people liked it.. How did they end up changing the game in favor of the 2329 people instead of what the 3108 people wanted?????

How did this happen??? thats a difference of 779 people…

And please don’t tell me that they’re that dumb to think the people that said to “stick it on a seperate playlist” liked the experimental weekend....

Everyone that i know that said “stick it on a separate playlist” said that because they hated it......

Posted by: ftongl on 02-19-2010

posting here because i can’t post on 1.05 update news..

if ya look at ‘didn’t like it’ and ‘have it’s own playlist’, it basically means the same thing......

as a player since the multiplayer demo came out, pulling out the rug from under us is not cool.

please consider putting health back the way it was!

Posted by: jai_brar_16 on 02-20-2010

please add some new skins such as shambala,s monsters etc......and i often get errors such as “error intializing session manager","error syncing models”,etc.!can anyone please tell how to fix these errors.......thnx..

Posted by: kekon3 on 02-20-2010

I had the idea that you guys would make it like the level 1’s would have their health bars at like easy, and the level XIIIV (if such a level exists, i dunno)’s would have their health bar to that of crushing mode. So that way all the players have a chance at winning. including the noobz.

Posted by: MechanicalLeg85 on 02-21-2010

the update sucks it makes worst players decent and the fal and rifle is all the games about now ppl shooting point blank with it and around walls and over cover i hate it but i do like the new medals and oh yeah fix the errors and constant booting

Posted by: el_Quinto on 04-13-2010

I LOL when people say ND listens to its fans. If you look at the experimental poll results, only 39% of voters voted that they liked the lowered health, while 61% wanted the old health system to stay. How could Naughty Dog alienate 61% of its players? You lost my respect Naughty Dog.

el_Quinto, I suppose you’re one of those people who think that everyone who voted to give the lowered health its own playlist, hated it? That logic is wrong, because we can never know if they all hated it. There could have also been people who LIKED the lowered health, but still wanted to give it its own playlist so they could play both. Then, there could have also been people who were neutral about it or were not sure about it and voted for it so that they could test out both normal and lowered health and then play with what felt better for them. If all the people who voted to give the lowered health its own playlist were split in 3 groups (1/3 would hate the lowered health, 1/3 would like it and 1/3 would be neutral about it) the result would be the same.
With that said, its wrong to say that everyone that wanted to give the lowered health its own playlist hated it. And i’m not saying that i wanted the lowered health. I’m just pointing out the facts that many people are just so oblivious to.
Whew, what a wall of text i got.
