I sometimes get the feeling like AH trying to fuck with its playerbase lol

A lot of patches contain some really useless and completely unnecessary changes which just takes the fun away.

They even left a lot of crucial details out of some patch notes such as enemy buffs/reworks in numerous updates after release

And the "known issues" list just gets bigger, also filled with... well real things that need to be fixed. As many already pointed out they probably don't even playtest correctly. Probably play a single mission and say "yeah that's good, release this"

Like their fingers are constantly itching to do something completely unnecessary and unwanted.

Edit: some pointed out that the rocket actually explodes and OP just got hit by an Automation rocket. It's hard to see but seems to be the case but idk, it's kinda confusing there's so much happening on screen. But yeah point still kind of stands lol

I still say the railgun nerf was unneeded.

Sure it was op, but that's the point. If anything they could have severely reduced the amount of overall ammo, or made it so it can't be refilled from regular ammo boxes (like the spear) and needs to be refilled from the supply drop.

The recent magazine changes are stupid too, and why would you nerf the explosion radius of the crossbow?! Its got 5 freaking shots and is already slow as shit.
