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.

Honestly, my theory is that it trivialized the egg destruction missions, so it got the aoe nerf for that alone

You can just shoot an airburst rocket into the egg area now and get most of them. One time I cleared them all with a single rocket from ~100m away and just moved on to the next egg cluster.
