    This is why developers stop listening to feedback. Because so much feedback is trash.

    I’ve hopped into quickplays with people removed 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.

      This is also why developers hide behind PRs instead of communicating directly btw.

    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.

      I keep hearing that, but I’ve not had luck with it as of yet. I need a few more dives to get the FT mechanics down, I think.

    That was pretty funny though. Immature maybe, but somewhat entertaining.

    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.

      I think the real problem is guns got nerfed and at the same time, environmental hazards were introduced. I saw 3-4 reinforcements going to people hit by meteors. I think people will get used to it, but right now it’s kind of fun how it feels like early dives again, just utter chaos.
