@FatsharkKitefin Please relay this to whomever it may concern! :purple_heart: We need nerfs and buffs. The cycle of powercreep must be broken. Darktide’s powercreep has reached such a crisis point that the AI Director is just throwing spam tantrums of Elite and Specialist Enemies because the Player…

I’m glad most people in the comments are calling him out, just like in that one Reginald video where he fought everyone in his comments for a week or so he had to do an “apology” video with more moderate tone.

[image] Rvl: are you so mad to the point you can’t see the context of my post? For the THIRD TIME, I said that about PLAYER BUILDS. You’ve just decided on your own that my post has a different meaning, while I’m telling you straight what I meant by it. What a pointless dialogue. You’re retroa…

Assail and the weapons are still cool today but surely you wouldn’t pretend like those nerfs were unwarranted at the time they happened?

I didn’t want to argue because I genuinely have no memory of the bolter nerf outside of no auto reload with ex stance and needed someone else to confirm if Zarona revolvers were ever nerfed :stuck_out_tongue: But, didn’t Assail catch an undocumented change semi-recently? Been running more off-meta …

I think boltgun nerfs weren’t even mentioned when it happened, I think it was patch 13 or before that. But finding the revolver nerf was pretty easy. [image] The Traitor Curse Part 2 Anniversary Update: OUT NOW Zarona Mk IIa Quickdraw Stub Revolver Carapace armour damage modifier from 60% to 4…

Apologies, I have zero memory of this nerf! Happened a while ago, too.

I can’t wait for the psyker rework where we get assails and all the cooldown skills. They’ll probably make the bubble vent peril too…

We disagree on a fundamental level that I believe stuff should feel strong, stuff that feels strong are more fun to play with (to me). I will try to cover some of your points anyway. [image] Khorne_Dawg: Assail was literally so strong that it became a de facto third Weapon, and even at its weak…

Please fix the powercreep (RANT)
