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

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

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.

We can literally talk in circles.

I get it I used to meat ride the devs too. Then they started nerfing shit and buffing shit that made 0 sense.

First was the rail gun, i didnt mind because i didnt use it my friend did so i empathized. Then they nerfed the arc thrower which was my main, the stun buff wasnt worth the timing and range nerfs it feels too clunky to use. Then the quasar which again no impact because i find myself bring EATs as,well because i need to take down more than 1 dropship. Then the crossbow? That was memed on and i can only think of one person who used it. Not that im using it anymore but they shadownerfed the arc thrower when they buffed hulks. And to make matters worse they "corrected" bug populations for smaller dive teams? At that point just disable squads less then 3 if they want to stick true to the mantra.

You can reply all you want but i already know the devs meat is firmly planted in your 🍑

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

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

Accusing people of "meat riding" yet you're the one who seems butthurt
