Discussed changes: DS and Plasma Nerfs Leaked?

For plasma gun, I just think they are changing too many things at once. As in, they are hitting like 6 different areas at the same time and reducing their values by as much as 90%. Surely they could do these things a little more incrementally and check out the results?

Both nerf need to happen, but the nerf leaked is not final yet so we’re not even sure what it’ll really look like. Plasma literally can still do the same thing as current patch, just with secondary fire instead of braindead m1 spam. Even if the nerf if heavy handed, if they’re doing what they said…

Well, look how long we had to wait for the bolter to feel good again.

“More frequent” in Fatshark terms could mean just about anything. I think the human classes are tricky to balance innately with all the weapon overlap.

In this case my “other” translates to: These changes are leaks confirmed to at very least a work in progress. Discussing unintentionally leaked half plans is an exercise in futility.

Picked the closest option to “probably ok, won’t know until a few weeks after the patch”
