this post shows you the difference the defence stat actually makes. this is the difference between not having a defence stat at all and having it at 80%
So we need to buff Maccabian Duel Sword dodges
I don’t understand why anyone playing the game at any dificulty could possibly think that the inferno staff needed a buff of any kind.
its a compensation buff due to the (near) removal of synergy between uncanny and soulblaze that could be exploited easily.
did we need compensation for it? absolutely not, removing it was part of the point and even then its still too strong (and arguably stronger regardless due to the decrease in crusher spawns). the compensation is to reduce the anger of people who dont believe a PvE game should receive nerfs in any capacity.
on the bright side they didn’t buff scriers gaze yet
that “yet” is doing so much heavy lifting
Don’t think it’s gonna matter much, sure, you will be able to kill crushers with penetrating flames, but the TTK will still make it very ineffcient.
Fantastic changes guys, thank you. Darktide desperately needs more balance changes like this.
Buff Devils Claw
I understood that, but the logic of buffing the best weapon in the game (by far I believe) while leaving so many weapons that desperatly need a buff untouched is strange to me, but it’s been like this for years so I should not be so shocked about it tbh
To prevent a riot from the playerbase, gotta give some to take some.
Is this supposed to somehow invalidate my opinion?
I suggest reading my comment again.
Honestly, yes.
You said:
Which is easily countered by:
So, “XYZ is OP so leave ABC alone” is faulty logic.
So what I believe Jan is trying to say is: A highly optimized build with a mediocre weapon “keeping up” with an unoptimized build with an OP weapon right now, just means that making the enemies stronger to balance the OP weapon makes the optimized build worse while the OP weapon with an unoptimized build can just swap to an optimized one and keep performing the same as it used to.
I am the 1%. I like petty Internet slapfights.
Wrong
DS 4 with uncanny was always OP. This is just players using it that never seen it… and that have think the weapon was balanced. But it never has been balanced (until now, at least we hope it is now).
Spoiler: It’s not, but it’s much closer than it was. It’s still good into basically everything with ludicrous mobility, it’s just no longer completely busted and is merely extremely strong
I didnt say anything about the devs, you intentionally made that up. The echo chambers that are trying to control the narrative on the other hand…
The players that use these "op toy"s are the ones that pay the money that keep the servers powered on and the personnel in their jobs to keep the game going. If you think you will be better off without those two things, that’s on you but I categorically disagree.
What tremendous physical effort, its a video game? It entails clicking buttons on a keyboard and mouse.
Yes, the review bombing manipulation tactic to specifically attack the devs ability to afford to live is actively immoral and degenerate behavior, as I have said very publicly many times in many places. Similarly, getting large echo chambers of players to encircle all the feedback inlets fatshark uses to get the player issues, in an effort to control and manipulate what feedback gets through so as to manipulate the devs into sabotaging the game until large swaths of players leave, so that the devs have to eventually bend to the few players from those echo chambers later on, is also immoral and degenerate behavior.
so do musicians with their instruments, “moving their fingers”. strange some make millions and most suck ass 
physical effort isnt strongman level boulder lifting, its getting from your body by skill what most arent able to pull off.
aka seperating the prodigies from the rest.
cmon, the only reason people play multiplayer is to wiggle their 
at each other in comparison.
lets not lie to ourselves here and pretend we “cooperate” cause we love people so much (premades and friends excluded of course)
threads about who has the longest in havoc 40 every second tuesday is proof of that alone.
BUT thats not a bad thing per se.
wheres ambition theres growth and after all if someone feels accomplished after putting in the effort and has footage to show for deserves all the pride in the world.
heck, never understood why singing contests were a thing but appearantly millions like to watch androgynous people hitting high pitched notes in flashy dresses, and thats fine.
in the end its still a competition, even though (sadly) no one fights each other to the death over it 
and last but not least
no rocket science, fatshark:
also true though: the game remained online due much lower player counts.
yep, i want darktide to stay online, no i wont bother if that at one point equals only having “those” around(solo mod is a thing though so theres that)
like whats the appeal of the biggest party when its full of
(whaddaya know, they even got premium skins there 
)
strange those boiling emotions only came up after havoc 40 vs all “lesser beings” became a thing
almost like ego and competition is an integral part of (male)human nature.
as for the rest, i refrain from writing down my (not very high) opinion of the review bombers in question, should be pretty clear at this point regardless
got no qualms with you or anyone on a personal level, being around in multiplayer for more than 33 years now it just doesnt sit well with me when hierarchy and performance isnt valued/respected but “sniveled” towards by the cheapest means and proclaimed to be “equal” is all.
nope, even though i got ambition, i dont count myself among them, but theres truly perfomers that are “worth more”, as with musicians etc. , and that performance shouldnt be bismirched.
hey, top of my head another example for “that” (for those old enough to know)
VS
i mean all three are “singers” surely they are deserving the same respect… right… right…?
