Really? Most of my games towards the 3rd week i get at least 200+ pirates going for planets, sure it splits up most of the time, i got unlucky once and had 217 on the hub world which was impossible for me to defend. Not sure if thats normal but i figured it was normal since it happened often that i had to fight off that many, just mostly split usually.
Edit: Im in a week 3 game just to be sure and yup again i got pretty much 300+ pirates, 155 + 88 + 35 +65
-Having pirates sound happen once instead of hundreds of times (when its not many its fine but hearing it for like nearly 2 min non stop cuz theres over 300+ spawns gets old)
-Faster shooting. Sometimes i get the garanteed safe rolls but when theres 200+ shots to go through and it takes like 1 sec per shot so do that times 200 and thats like 3min for anyone waiting (cuz you cant interact with anything until its done and switching tabs pauses the game so cant just watch a vid in the meantime). Ik theres faster shooting but it only happens when either forces are wiped out or a planet is hit so having fast shooting as a toggle would be nice.
-A more responsive main menu? I dont know how better to describe it. The problem im running into is when im trying to start a new game when i click on the weeks to start a game it sometimes turns off a random volume setting and the game doesn't start i usually just button mash until it works.
I did mention there are items that can give you more hearts aka more chances to miss notes without insta loosing its in the shop and cost 500 and i believe you can get 3 so you could miss 6 in a row and still be fine. As for the difficulty curve it is rather big difficulty curve ill admit but thats the thing with beat games, you adapt. If you dont want to spend the money you get thats kinda on you. But i get it my man.
Tbf they added stuff to make harder levels easier to pass with items in the shop. Plus if you fail that just means you need to improve and you only lose if you complete fail a note aka hitting the wrong key or just not pressing it at all 4 times in a row without items. The timing is very forgiving too as i'm sure you noticed. Theres 4 degrees of hitting a note that doesnt impact you negetavily, Perfect, great, nice and meh. Considering all that i dont think the game is unfair if you fail cuz of hitting the wrong key or not pressing anything. (I'm not saying you're bad i'm just saying in my opinion the game is already fair enough and doesnt need to be any easier)
You can change that in the multiplayer section of the options menu (do note that some of the aesthetic change can make the game crash, i think those are the thickness and another option that changes the physique and the only way i found to avoid that is to change the said option and save as fast as i could)
