It´s not about issues in S A B C tiers. It´s about the issue that a good chunk of weapons or blessings outscales everything the game is throwing on us.
So right now yes, weapons that are balanced or fit their niche are somewhat B - tier, there is nothing really lower. Blessings might be worse because they indeed go from something like K to S tier.
But here we´re already talking about SS Tier weapons and why they got their nerf, even if they´re still A+ -S tier after the nerf. And if B tier is balanced, A tier might still be ok. But S tier or more shouldn´t be a thing.
And yeah, this brings me to the question you haven´t understand:
It´s about this and similar threads, while also poeple want to get ride of low int.
You´re bored, everything but damnation high int / shocktroop is a snoozefest, etc… Yet you seem to fail to see that the simple solution would be balancing. Bringing down SS tier weapons, blessings and feats to A tier. Buffing stuff which is atleast not B tier to A/B tier. Make enemies stronger in their core (not bulletsponging) to give them different strengths and more stagger-resistence, so FS can actually develop weapons and blessings better against those strengths. So far said, more niches to fill…
This would be something in the short form and no, a new difficulty won´t help much if everything is exeggerated as its currently is. All what it would probably cause is +10 minutes on a run and would make some feats / weapons even superior.
That´s why the whole question is, how you and others don´t see the need of it? As i´ve said in the past where all these nonsense started. “Get better at the game, get used to the stuff, try it out and then start to judge.”
Yet poeple screamed and still do, meanwhile FS came with bandaids to cater the audience, but the same audience is bored from everything but the top tier difficulty right now.
It just doesn´t make sense and the core reason why everything which is not damnation+ is boring is, that we sit on too much stats and have too much possibilities to compete with everything the game throws on us. And yes, a lot still don´t sit on sick blessings etc.
I guess you got it now?
I get the wish to keep weapons and classes interesting and fun to play. I´m fully on this and i also see the need to rework the PS to keep the “special-playstyle” alive. But we could also enjoy all of this on heresy, while heresy+ isn´t that snoozefest all keep talking about in the linked thread if it´s done correctly.
