No thanks. That part of the SF was not Fun. It was a case of 'Oh, look, gank them!'

Now that you mention it, it did seem quite some bit easier last time I did it about 2 weeks ago. So if it was indeed made easier(nerfed) please change it back.
Was this change documented?
If they did slow things down, then go them. With the earlier iteration, you'd be hard pressed to find a team that could eliminate the ambush waves before the new ones arrived. Yes, it had that 'epic battle' feel, but on a regular team, it was very common to have deaths or even team wipes, followed by a hard fought battle back to the boss through the waves and waves of mobs, with little heads up that this was going to be what the team faced. This doesn't really follow the way all the rest of the game goes, with the exception of some AE content.

On our first run of the BSF, we got faceplanted by the sudden, unending influx of mobs.
We all respawned and came back...and they came to US. We had to literally crawl back up the tunnel, wading through a sea of dead Ubermench...and then found that the MM power to stop his Godmode was bugged... and we failed. Yaaay.
So no. Endless ambushes are not fun. Endless ambushes that STACK with one another are even less fun.
Leave it as it is now, please.

For clarification purposes, would you say they're closer to regular mission ambushes, or the Terra Volta attack waves in speed?

Glad to see that it was nerfed and that the merits went up to 30, but it was nerfed too much. The mobs by reichman at the end instead of coming too fast now come too slow. Stalkers don't even have to hit the kill switches anymore. Make the mobs come a little faster so that it's not quite at the level it was originally but fast enough to actually make it hard.
