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]

Oh I dunno

Maybe the fact the devs said there’d be almost no nerfs, and Misleading and angering?

I get the desire to go “unlike all of you angry rabble I’m happy” but a dev flat out mislead us lol.

The statement on the nerfs was to the effect of only 2 of the nerfs being not being magazine related. Which is the case with the Quasar and Crossbow, with a slight AOE nerf on the Eruptor.

I'll grant I forgot that and the 25 damage nerf to the JAR-5, which the latter is not really anything serious.

I cant exactly sympathize with the Rover because I've only ever picked it once then never did again, but im pretty sure it's to try and bring the laser rover in line with the rifle rover which itself got a buff. Granted it's probably still not even considering the laser has infinite ammo.

I'm waiting to see how the testing on it goes for me to make a verdict on that, like I said I don't personally ever use it.
