I appreciate the interest in the game, there's still stuff I don't like about the difficulty and RNG at times as well, so I DO expect the game to get easier in lots of ways before it's finished.
Just so you don't get the wrong idea here, i've been making the game easier incrementally with each update since launch, but I want to note that small changes might not feel like they are making that big of a difference. The next update will have small changes, but also add some things that POTENTIALLY make the game easier, but some of these aren't readily accessible from the beginning. The custom outfits have some difficult unlock conditions. The new update is not the easy mode you want by any means, so if that's what you're expecting I am unfortunately here to bring bad news. What the new update DOES do is give the player more tools to make more effective strategies. Think of it more like I'm adding more chess pieces to your side of the chess board, but just having more pieces won't necessarily make you better at chess, if that makes sense.
