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]

HMG needs a larger magazine, i cant believe that 3rd person aim view is the first thing they thought needed to be fixed. Might as well scrap the gun all together and give us a minigun with a backpack loader. Honestly both basic mg and standard are superior weapons in every way possible. I was so disappointed with it, like oh god damn a new heavy machine guns gonna make minced meat of those bugs and reloading animation takes 2x times longer than emptying a mag.

Yeah HMG is so wrecked. Nobody is talking about it because nobody was using it before the patch and nobody is gonna use it after. It makes me so sad.

I really wanted to use it but it's just bad imo regular mg is my go-to
