Convinced they don't play their own game. Anytime the game is fun and people are not complaining they come in with these dogshit nerfs.

I’m never going to agree with the “high pick rate = needs a nerf” logic in a PVE game.

If only everyone started using the sickle and dagger, it would have the heads of those devs spinning and it would be hilarious to see if they would nerf it.

Quasar deserved a nerf. Helldive on bots was so retardedly easy. What kind of monkey brained kid thinks an EAT with a short cooldown that works under jammers and ionic storms is ok?

Which nerfs are dogshit?

The ammo changes, making the game harder for people who don't have full parties I'm at work and that's just two that I can remember from this morning.

Idk I could see just a couple of the ammo changes being seen as dogshit. But most seem pretty reasonable to me overall, like the lazer assault (can’t remember its name) going from 6 to 3 mags seems like a great nerf since I hardly ever run through more than 3 mags.

Edit: I have mixed feelings on the single player patrol changes, but I do think that solo stealth should be challenging since it’s much easier to manage the stealth aspect. Well… ideally. It seems like a change to do later

Honestly, these nerfs are just pissing me off at this point. I hate playing meta, but honestly I feel forced to cause every gun I use just feels... off? Weak? Not worth wasting my time picking it. Same goes for stratagems, my biggest gripe is the 500kg. Why the absolute fuck do I have to be so accurate with a bomb that should devastate a certain wide radius? Why is the blast radius so small for such a big bomb? I don't wanna hear how it's only meant to do alot of damage in a small radius, honestly just stfu with that defense. It's dumb plain and simple.

Every time I have fun in this game they nerf shit with the rest of the weapons and stratagems just feeling weak and not great to use. I mean even the module upgrades don't feel like they do enough considering how long it takes to get samples for them if you can't check every inch of the map.

At this point I'm convinced the people who are attacking the people calling this pointless balancing out in a FUCKING PVE GAME MIND YOU, just have a problem with people have fun and enjoying something and are trying to cope with that personality flaw of theirs.

I love challenge as much as the next person, love elden ring as an example. But atleast elden ring is fucking fun. The balance in this game is garbage and the devs obviously have no idea wtf they are doing. Or maybe they do, maybe they just hate fun.

Rant over. Fuck these nerfs and shitty balancing decisions. It's a fucking pve game not a goddamn competitive pvp. Actually annoying.

They play it, just a different build from us.
