When it comes to the community’s reaction to the changes, there are mixed opinions on both sides. While most of the Twitter comments skew towards the negative, there is some praise on the other side. The game has had some rough patch releases this year, including a feature rollback in March. Perhaps the grass was greener on the other side of Namek’s 1.35 release. It may be too early to tell.
