control resonant launched and remedy immediately nerfed the bullet sponges
hotfix 1.3.3 landed with the wide launch because remedy says enemy health pools were too high, falter took too many hits, and dylan felt too weak early on. most enemies plus the dancer and deserter bosses got less health, max strength went up, and respeccing is cheaper now. honestly i respect shipping the fix on day one instead of spending three weeks explaining that everyone is playing it wrong. anyone who did the early access version: did this actually make fights better or did they overcorrect?
reviewers taking the bullet sponge damage so launch players don't have to is a public service
