Generally when I watch the demos I tend to find extra bits of feedback that were missed in the main feedback post, and while that was the case here, all that you seemed to do in it was complain about how you couldn't play Demoknight any time there was melee or bullet damage on the field. Then you'd pick Engineer and act surprised that the intermediate waves with a lot of cannon fodder are suddenly easier to clear.

Originally posted by Bazooks:

Even though it is Intermediate, missions should try to balance out matchups for each class. Try to make things easier for other classes and less favorable for Engineer.

Would you prefer everything be balanced for Demoknight instead? Because apparently any source of melee or bullet damage is "Anti Knight Propaganda"

Originally posted by Bazooks:

Giant Scattergun Scouts are not to be underestimated. They can very easily take out most classes with their high accuracy and medium damage. Not something that belongs in an intermediate, and exacerbates the issue said in general feedback.

Bullet damage! They weren't a problem in the demo though, as they only got one kill on a player who was already retreating. I will ask Ultimaximus to change them because they can be potentially dangerous, but you didn't seem to struggle with them any.

Originally posted by Bazooks:

Giant SMGs make the issue said in general feedback even worse, and is generally an unpleasant bot to fight against. High accuracy with medium damage tends to kill a lot of classes except those who invest into tanking attacks, usually Heavy and Engineer.

Bullet damage! They weren't a problem in the demo though, as they only got zero kills and died upon reaching the team anyway.

Originally posted by Bazooks:

Ideally there should always be something threatening on the field at all times. Engineer bots help with improving pacing on most subwaves due to how large the map is and how many subwaves have slow giants. Of course, subwaves would need to be balanced with Engineer bots in mind.

While I do agree with this for advanced and especially expert missions, I also think it's a good idea to give players the ability to move forward after being pushed early on in a wave, or give them time to prepare for a stronger subwave that's about to enter. I will tell Ultimaximus to shorten or speed up some parts of waves 2 and 3, but sometimes lulls are intentional.
