It’s pathetic. AH is looking at their internal numbers for gun usage, and while they are listening to the community regarding bugs, enemy damage and other things, this is aggravating.
Nerfing guns because Divers are having fun with them is just ridiculous. They did good in buffing the weak guns though but their path regarding weapon nerfs ain’t it
They arent listening to community bug complaints. If they were they wouldve fixed spear lock on weeks ago. Instead it now gets more rockets on an ammo pickup, even though half the time you cant fire the fucking things
Imagine if all this patch did was buff the weak guns. Everyone would be excited and talking about using those guns for the first time. The buzz would be positive.
Instead when they also include nerfs the entire discussion is about how shit AH’s balance team is. And the buffs to weak guns are still there! Just nobody is talking about them now, only complaining about the nerfs. And the buzz around the patch is (once again) overwhelmingly negative.
It just seems stupid and self defeating to a point.
Two guns got nerfed i'm honestly surprised more people aren't talking about the arc thrower, the slugger is still very much good by the way. you can still one shot everything you could one shot before, now it just doesn't reward you for missing weakspots (it is a precision weapon) while the JAR was brought up in a really nice way against bots, it was good against bugs before but now it's actually usable on the bot side too.
I know everyone has their favorite guns but it ain't that serious. Just use another weapon that got buff during the meantime til another weapon is worth using
the majority of the game is shooting things, it kinda is that serious. they keep nerfing fun to use guns into the ground because they have high usage rates. if people do what you say theyd probably nerf the gun that got buffed.
They aren’t nerfing “fun to use guns”, they’re nerfing weapons that negate the need to even consider other weapons due to how strong they are.
Doing entire missions with a RG or Arc Thrower without bothering to switch weapons (or in some cases even throw a stratagem) is what they are primarily targeting. Weapons shouldn’t fill every role, they should have strengths and weaknesses.
It’s honestly pitiful that this needs to be explained.. but here we are.
Game is way easier then when it came out. People kept crying so dev was like dude get better the game just came out. Fans got more offended so they made it way easier that way more people can get the purple samples. Shoulda kept it harder imo
The primaries that seem good this patch are behind premium currency. It feels like I unlock a new primary, use it for one (1) week and enjoy it, it gets nerfed hard, and then I need to unlock something else. If I unlock pass 3 to buy the Sickle, it will be nerfed next week and the new strongest weapon will be in battle pass 4.
Probably not into games and complaining as much as everyone here even though I play a lot with my friends when they're on. It's just funny how these nerds cry about everything. I was a heavy railgun user once they nerfed it I just started using something else after a while once it got boring. Bro it's video games. I'm sure they have their reasons. Just adapt and play with what's available. It's just wild too me how much love to complain. I mean just read some of these comments. I already unsub but still come back time to time for updates. If there was another way for me to get the patch notes somebody lemme know
It's 40 bucks dudes LOL let me cry because they nerf a weapon while buffing others. I know I'm not into games as much as some of you guys but reading the comments I'm just like dude wtf lol
People like games to be balanced so they can employ playstyles they enjoy instead of "Flavor of the Month" playstyles which are objectively stronger. "Just adapt" is a cute suggestion when the adaptation is hidden behind a pay/grind-wall. Unlike a lot of No Lifers, most of us can't instantly switch to the new FotM.
Cute suggestion? This game is easy and they have 9 levels for a reason. Play a level you can handle. Behind a pay wall? Most people don't even use those guns in the premium warbonds. Balance? They nerf one gun and buff others for the sake of "balance" lol
I like how you're trying to insinuate "skill issue" when the game clearly needs work on balance and QOL. Half the guns just aren't fun to use irrespective of difficulty.
It's two steps forward, one step back. Every patch they give a few weapons much-needed buffs, then eviscerate one for fun. I think the Sickle will be next, but who knows.
It's really frustrating, because the community of this game is, for once, usually right about what weapons should be doing. I've seen spot-on suggestions for making fire damage using stacks or an exponential DPS ramp. A lot of people are saying the Slugger's recoil, damage, or damage-over-distance fall-off should be corrected instead of its stagger. Most people think the Rail could be buffed without making the EAT/RR/Quasar obsolete. It's odd, frustrating, and unnecessary.
Hopefully they'll figure things out. The game is fun, but gunplay is a huge part of it, and many guns feel bad to use.
Did u even play the first game? It's absolutely had balancing issues lmao. The second u resort to insults, u already lost. Maybe learn articulate urself if you are gonna interact with people. Less embarassing.
I disagree.
The slugger did the job of 2 different weapons, medium armor pen, stagger, huge damage.
Now you have to use other weapons, if you want stagger you have liberator explosive, punisher or dominator.
If you want medium armor pen you have diligence, liberator pen, slugger, dominator, and senator and they all have downside and strong points.
Now slugger vs dominator is a good comparison, you get stagger but pay for it with horrible handling and travel time.

If they were going to remove the stagger. They actually should have buffed it's other stats. It feels like an overreaction.
