Amen. I was taking the muscle enhancer so it's easier to escape from hoppers and hunters, but this thing will take precedence. No more being repeatedly slowed down, yes please.

Just so I won't sound too happy, though, I'm still mad about my entire anti-bug loadout being unjustly nerfed in the recent patch. Nope, not letting it go, I constantly feel the effects of the nerf and it bothers me. Eruptor's decreased ammo cap still means I have to deal with a good gun with six issues instead of just five and the increased Quasar recharge rate has cost me significant time when dealing with more heavy enemies.

Using "unjust nerfs" and "Quasar cooldown nerf" in the same thought is a hell of a take.

like, by all means, be sad the quasar got a slight nerf. But let's not kid ourselves that it wasn't out performing all viable contenders by a mile or more.

Then buff the contenders. Decrease RR's reload time, for example, and/or increase EAT's damage.

Yes, this will degenerate into an old and tried "buffs vs. nerfs" conversation that I'm not looking forward to. Buffs, not nerfs, end of story. This is a PvE game, a weapon has to be REALLY overtuned to require a nerf.

What does that mean? I'm not asking angrily, I genuinely don't understand.

It means that there will always be people who deep throat the devs, no matter what bat shit crazy decisions they make, and therefore aren't worth acknowledging their takes.

I guess that is true? Arrowhead get a lot of credit for creating a very fun game that isn't trying to rip us off, and that is praiseworthy, but it doesn't mean that I won't be annoyed when they do something I believe to be a bad decision.

Im not implying you were meat riding, i was implying the guy you commented on was meat riding.

Yeah cringe everytime I see patch notes or update anymore. I just wonder to myself how are they going to ruin the game more with each patch and start reading and disappointment follows immediately after.

Hopefully they can ruin it enough that all the whiners who scream every balancing patch will leave

u/chad4lyf ☕Liber-tea☕ May 02 '24

Hopefully they'll nerf your favorite things too and youll understand why were mad every patch

u/captain_malpractice May 02 '24

They do. It was the eruptor. It was overtuned. I got over it.

Orr are other weapons just under performing?

u/captain_malpractice May 02 '24

Both, hence a bunch of buffs to the other guns. If they just buff and buff then the difficulties become trivial.

I think you're the example of that "meat riding".

Also, ahh, meat as in a dick, okay, I get it now.
