This is why developers stop listening to feedback. Because so much feedback is trash.
I’ve hopped into quickplays with people bitching about how nerfed it is, how shitty everything has become, and how terrible the devs are… While actively using the “nerfed” weapons and are completely stomping over a mission.
I don’t blame the devs for snarky and troll comments. We players deserve them.
Which is why game companies often have community managers or something similar. To sift through the trash and forward the good feedback.
People made such a stink about the minor nerfs to Breaker and Railgun and didn’t even try out the buffed items like the flamethrower, which now melts chargers.
Flamethrower works but has a fraction of the range with the very high chance of self immolation
The other day I watched a teammate pick up a flamethrower, give it a try, and in less than 2 seconds from picking it up they had set themselves on fire. It was absolutely ridiculous.
That was pretty funny though. Immature maybe, but somewhat entertaining.
I’m part of the discord and the people were far worse than any dev comments.
The nerfs weren’t even that bad, I admit I was using the breaker, railgun, and shield pack pretty often. The breakers change is totally fine, 3 less rounds and a little more recoil. Hardly noticeably. The shield pack was technically just fixed as now its healthbar is properly displayed and has an instant recharge compared to before where it felt very inconsistent. And the railgun just needs to be put in unsafe mode, which I have a feeling half the people complaining didn’t even know existed - I had completely forgotten about it because it just wasn’t necessary.
Plus we got some buffs so now other weapons can be used. Like, it’s a pretty decent patch all things considered.
It’s inevitable people are upset when the previously top tier weapons get nerfed. I really felt the difficulty spike playing yesterday (and got good laughs from failing a challenge level 7 mission followed by the game crashing).
I think the overall difficulty was easier than where the devs intended it to be so I’m not very surprised. I think it will smooth itself out as time goes on, ideally there will be multiple weapons/builds with high levels of effectiveness rather than a single “meta” loadout.
