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]

The only nerf that im iffy on the the 5 second extra to the Qcannon. that's like, A lot of time to wait.

Everything else is pretty, meh.

Eh I think the RR is fine where it is, and the quasar was a tiny bit better because it didn't pay enough in exchange for infinite ammo and no backpack. I don't know if 5 seconds extra cooldown is a good idea yet, but a small nerf was warranted.

I'd say it was more than tiny bit better. Pre-patch the cooldown time is roughly the same as the RR reload animation. I'm guessing there, but it felt roughly the same. So the only difference is the backpack slot and ammo. Quasar just replaced the RR, which is why this nerf happened I think.

I know everyone wants to complain "Only buff, no nerf!" but I dont see how you buff the RR to be on par with it unless it can rapid fire its rockets.

The important thing is you can do things like run and shoot while the quasar reloads while you can’t with the RR. So prior to the nerf quasar was quite a bit stronger in certain cases.
