@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 agree, but like I said they’re already on the course of buffing every class to Ogryn and Arbites standards. I do not think we have much a choice here anymore because this decision was already made, they’re very likely already working on them all as we speak. So if that’s here to stay, because I d…

Are you trying to say the NPC companion should be cosmetic only? Like the veteran bots we have right now? The dog would still be stronger due to not wasting medstations alone.

[image] Archon_Dagoth: I have said before, if you think the game should be balanced around Malice/Heresy/Damn, then ask to nerf elite clown cars like those shown in the clip, nerfing player power by itself will do no good It ideally should be a simultaneous nerf to player power and overhaul o…

Hey, remember when FatShark got Winds of Magic out for Vermintide 2 and increased the health pool of all enemies ? With also the addition of automatic damage bonuses for staggered enemies etc. to compensate ? Wasn’t that a good update that got great reception and super good Steam ratings ? /s Buff…

[image] Bulanskovich: I doubt players suddenly go from Havoc 20 to 40 just by changing to Arbites, it’s still an effort for your average player sadly the effort does not lie with the one being carried but due to the class´ abilities him being easier to “babysit” i wager a lot team compositio…

Yes, but I’m cynical enough to think they’ll probably go for it

Should FatShark really fear backlash for nerfing the Dueling Sword and other overpowered weapons?
