thanks so much for playing pardner, and for this super detailed write-up. i think your assessments are pretty good and similar to how i feel about the state of the balance of the game. once the full game is out all the balance is going to get upended because of synergies and the fact that getting a specific job will be much less reliable, but that does mean that i don’t put a lot of effort into balancing the demo, to be honest. interestingly a lot of people have very different opinions about medic (and promotions), some people think they are super weak, and others think they’re OP. i think the truth is somewhere in the middle and also depends a lot on how you use them and general playstyle.
thanks again, glad you enjoy the game. looking forward to your thoughts on the final product!
