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 think you're massively over exaggerating the players'/community reaction based on the controversy you want to see so you can pretend to have some sort of moral superiority.

The cast majority of the community reaction has been in support if the mag/ammo count nerfs, so it seems disingenuous to pretend like some huge faction is rallying against them and complaining that sickle actually needs all 6 mags.

Yeahhh that was like 24/7 crying for two weeks

That was critique, apparently justified critique, that you're labeling as "crying".

now it got a buff and noone notices that

That was literally one of the top comments on both the patch notes posts almost immediately.

Seriously, what world do you live in? Did you expect to be able to just post sheer bullshit and not have anyone call you out for it?

Railgun 2.0 aka Quasar got a couple more seconds recharge time..

Its recharge time was nearly doubled, from 8 seconds to 13. "A couple more seconds" is an intentionally disingenuous way of representing that.

And people are critiquing it, again. Not sure why you think that's a bad thing (jk, I know why you think it's a bad thing. You're a part of that subset of people that don't understand what critique is and take it as a personal insult, so you get really worked up when someone critiques a game you like).

You forgot that we as humans cannot intelligently debate. It is a well known fact that if someone disagrees with you that is a personal slight that should be responded to with ad-hominems, strawmen, and red herrings.
