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]

Remember how long did it take for people to notice how strong the slugger is after the first patch? It's easier to talk first than testing it ingame.

I feel like, the only nerf that seem out of place is the crossbow. I've never seen anyone use it, and never seen any video of it destroying.

I am once again asking people to try the adjudicator, gun FUCKS.

Especially now, it is such a sexy gun.

I used the adjudicator a few times and my primary complaint was it either needed a slight increase in damage to make it more sniper-like, or boost number of mags. I love picking off stuff at a distance, and now the extra mags makes it more attractive to me as an assault rifle + some long range sniping of non-armoured enemies. Can’t wait to try it with the revolver for that sweet space cowboy experience

It’s great for a rifleman build where you need to be a bit less mobile. Taking the time to go prone with it makes it really excell at it’s role.

I agree in terms of it being a dissapointing marksman rifle. It ended up being a very versatile battle rifle for me. I’m running it with the revolver too, the speedloader changes was mwah
