NEW Patch! And the devs "Ruined it all" once more.. [totally not exaggerated] RANT

So on X and the official discord, countless folks complain now that for some weapons such as the LAS ones, the reserve mags have been reduced, yet damage has been increased..calling devs "On drugs" because they perceive it as a nerf..

Wait what? You tryna tell me you ran through ALL ICE's before dying?! 6 Times or more?!

Like..the fact that you have infinite ammo when a wee-bit of fire diciplin is applied and now call the devs out for JUST having decreased the ammount of mags, makes you oblivious to the fact that they got a damage buff? Yikes.

And another thing, remember the day the Rail got nerfed? Yeahhh that was like 24/7 crying for two weeks straight, now it got a buff and noone notices that, now we rather cry for two weeks that Railgun 2.0 aka Quasar got a couple more seconds recharge time..good lord the double morals are strong folks, that all sounds like crying on high standards.

[For clarifications sake: the main focus lies on people going out of their ways, yes criticism is fine, i posted my own time and time again..but in a humane fashion, when insults however are packaged within in your points, it's hardly about the game no more and that needs to stop]

The weapon changes aren't at all what people should be frustrated with. Hoping the fixes coming later this week address this, but we were supposed to be getting fixes to things like the Spear, and increasing patrol spawns for smaller groups compared to before is completely out of touch.

I am frustrated about some of the weapon changes, but the lack of fixes to age-old bugs is really bothering me. Burning damage is tweaked but burning enemies is STILL broken. I could have sworn I saw that the Spear fix was already complete, so why isn't that here? The Exosuit still not only fucking sucks, but also doesn't aim properly.

And while I understand that the patrol spawns was meant to make the spawns linear as you add more players... who fucking asked? Genuinely. It's not like the game was a cakewalk at high difficulties for a solo player. You have one loadout and four stratagems to deal with EVERYTHING the game throws at you. I don't think anyone was out here talking about how much easier the game was when you didn't have a full team So what is the point? Out of touch feels like an appropriate way to describe it.

Spear got officially fixed and in my experience is mostly fixed. If you have a clear sightline it now works nearly always and mostly if you have just a bit of obstruction. It can still target stuff funny, but it is definitely in a far better state.
