If there are balance changes in this patch, can we get a preview please?

With the embargo being lifted today for content creators would it be possible to have some short write up on balance changes, that is if there are any?

They don’t because they want to avoid review bombing by certain groups.

I’m one of the few DS5 mains and review bombing on my part is inevitable certainty, but its gonna be even more severe if i have to sift thru various streamer/youtube personalities just to find some usable bit of information :grinning_face:

If this is an embargo because when they teased nerfs to OP weapons we got an inexplicable surge of Chinese players pitching a fit and review bombing…I won’t be ENTIRELY mollified but I will find it understandable.

Fortunately Steam now filters reviews by language to limit the power of the Chinese troll armies.

For the few others like OP, I’ll be handing out baby/clown rewards.

Are you done conjuring fantasies out of thin air about things that didn’t happened?

There wasn’t any appreciable or noticeable review bombing over the leaked nerfs, they had however rather severe feedback along these lines

Many Chinese players are complaining about the nerf of their favorite weapons and believe that foreign players who are pleased by this updated lack understanding of the game.

That being said, do you have any clown reward for a guy who automatically equals chinese feedback with a review bombing?

Complete inversion of reality. Par of the course.

It always blows my mind how you people come off the top ropes with demonstrably false shite straight outta your ass like noone can just go look and see you’re lying or grossly uninformed.

At least come up with some “alternative facts” rather than just saying what happened didn’t happen.

It was one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen in gaming: leaks of proposed nerfs bringing an actual review bomb that dropped the game a rating tier on steam and forum invasion by chinese players saying insane shite like “we don’t need these OP weapons because we are the best” but also, the same person saying: “You won’t be able to play the game” without them.

Yeah bro is straight up gaslighting. Like, the original definition. The ‘it didn’t happen you’re imagining things and can’t trust your own mind’ definition.

Because people did roll into the forums saying that nerfing their crutches was terrible and mean and would sink the game for these supposedly ‘high skill’ players. There was even a weird kinda-racist attempt to justify the review bombing under ‘oh it’s their culture that they cling to meta tools’ or some groxsh*t like that.

It also dropped DT on steam from the Mostly Positive it had just recently gotten back down to Mixed for a few weeks. On leaks of PROPOSED changes. Never seen anything like it.

Fatshark should make more kinds of weapons and skills strong enough to be useful in latest high-difficulty games. Before that, any ways of nerfs will make some players hard to get havoc 40 reward. Chinese players know it. So some of us use review bombing to exert pressure on fatshark . In order to make fatshark reaching a comprom that will be more strong weapons to be used.

Speak of the Devil.

How’s that grab ya Bob?

This has nothing to do with Chinese players, you troll. Isn’t it the slow update speed and lazy forum communication of Fat Shark that should be reflected upon? Since the major update in June until now, have they had in-depth communication with players? This is not what a qualified game developer should do

Holy Hel…

Okay, can’t listen.

Sum this up?

Because ‘3 class reworks’ could mean a lot.

And nothing from FS community managers. Why do they e even exist?

Cool ur jets, patch notes ship with the patch and the trailer is out now.

  • New bolter and bolt pistol hold fewer shells (12 vs 15) but lean harder into the AOE.
  • Falchions are 1h relic blades. Heat faster, cool faster.
  • Fewer tax nodes, some new talents, better pathing, polish to existing talents (exe stance gives continuous toughness regen, mmf doesn’t lose stacks when moving).

It’s a lot to unpack. Changes to vigilant, chainsword, evis, helbore.

Vet , Psyker and Zealot got there trees redone.

quite a lot of rolling two into one and baking some extra nodes that affect skills into base, lots of trimming and removing of tax nodes. generally all 3 looked great.

they are nerfing the DS but apparently the nerf is hurting much. and they are nerfing all Cooldown talents across teh board. looks like they want to stop ultimate spam
