Does FS actually look at suggestions on the forums?

Because that just doesn’t really work.

So toward roads that change (“fix”) the balance, either you deal with the outliers (where here most are too strong, but a few are too weak too), or pick an outlier and bring the rest to it.

But balancing in a vacuum is easy, but here it’s a whole system that need to be minded for:

Path A: Buff to the outliers

  • FS buff weapons
    • Players get “stronger” and are more able to go to higher difficulties
      • Group Havoc complain that there isn’t enough hard content
      • FS need to buff enemies
        • Other people complain that it is a blanket nerf (as by comparison players got weakers)
        • New outliers need to be buffed again
        • Increase the number of strong enemies
          • Hit the enemy limit faster and increase complaints about Crusher Spams and simili
      • Group Havoc complain that there are people in Havoc that are being carried by their gears rather than their skills (Which is something should not be taken into account)

Path B: Nerf the outliers into line

  • FS nerf certain weapons and talents to be weaker and more in line with the rest
    • Meta Players get weaker
      • Players complains
    • Common Players get weaker
      • Players complains
    • Allow for nerfs of enemies
      • Decrease number of strong enemy
        • Alleviate Engine strain (Noise engine), and stop the common complaint of Crusher spam
      • Allow for more impactful Groaner/Poxwalker hordes
