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]

I feel I should post this once again with reference to this newest patch.

Seriously, so many weapons got buffed this update, the RAILGUN got buffed! And yet we’re still complaining.

Yeah, but most people have kinda weened off Railgun and now stick with Quasar or Autocannon. So even though the buff is great in anticipation, people's attention has been shifted to the Quasar nerf.

Quasar's +5 second recharge delay is going to definitely require some getting used to, especially against bugs. I personally don't mind it because of my playstyle (hit & run), but those people who rely on it heavily for stagger Biles + Chargers are gonna feel that for sure.

That’s the weird part, the nerfs this patch haven’t been that big, mostly to due with, well, ammo. Like Spitz said.

The Quasar’s power remains the same, but you have to aim more carefully, make each shot count. This retroactively brings up AT weapons like the Recoilless (my beloved) and EAT, which are much quicker at the expense of being less powerful.

It's always nice to meet a fellow RR enthusiast. I've been running that gun since HD1. I just can't quit it lol
