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

I did not mean that the Heavy Sword should remain where it’s at. I didn’t use it as an example because I find it “cool”. I used it as an example because currently it struggles against Carapace bad. Buff it’s dmg against Carapace and decrease the spawn rates of Crushers in higher difficulties.

That just shifts the attention from the Dueling Sword to the Flame Staff.

it’s comical to a point, sadly I can’t remember the movie, where I envision the typical hand wave gesture with the quote “deine Kampfkunst ist überaus gewöhnlich” :rofl:

“your technique is exceedingly ordinary “

this false sense of pride rooted deeply in some artifical and external mumbo jumbo that doesn’t hold any water come a true reality check.

havoc should come to a balance where the singular player based on his skills alone can have a meaningful impact on the whole thing.

yes, teamplay is one piece of the puzzle but we can see where mandatory synergies have led us into a dead end of one trick ponies and false sense of “abilities”

I don’t feel accomplished just “doing my talent” :man_shrugging:

Cant wait for scrier gaze buff that increases soulblaze stacks

Every nerf for weapons should be going with other environment adjustment, if DS should be nerf, the whole game should be the same. Game numerical inflation has lasted over 1 year since gloria update. I can’t understand why most users in this forum always ask for nerf players, but never mentioned about game environment is getting more difficult.

If you want to dive into theorycrafting and chase the strongest weapons and builds, go do that in Path of Exile.
Darktide is a skill-based game, and the only thing that matters here is the player’s own skill.

He is a self admitted BW player, and I assume he speaks of twitch realm BW balance too, the concept of skill is removed when you use lingering with twitch realm balance lmao, plus firestorm (v2’s purg)

That’s only what you think. In my opinion, DT balanced skill, builds and map understand.

Self own post, stacking two tank frontliners in a comp, low elite damage lmao.

I did! I mentioned how the enemy spam is ruining Havoc and how it needs to be removed!

I called for a nerf to things like Gold Toughness and DS because they are the reason we are so unkillable/too powerful, so the devs had to crank up the number of enemies being spawned to such a ridiculous point we have to face a horde of armor just to have some kind of challenge!

But that kind of challenge is not fun. It removes any kind of meaningful skill expression from the game and it all just boils down to: “Horde of Crusher comes, get your Flame Staff ready to clean it all up.

That’s not fun, that’s chore. A chore that I do not want to do.

I can put brass knuckles into my boxing gloves and call it “a build”, doesn’t make me the more “skilled” boxer.

if some few outliers perform vastly better than its users skill would allow for “naked” them outliers should be adjusted as to perform equally to every other option.

level playing field with only your wits and reflexes as the factor.

It’s same in havoc, ogryn and zealot can not always deal most elite damage but they can kill the most threatening ones.

if you ran that comp in Spicy, you’d lose every single attempt.

Even in auric, some class can still be easily killed without gold toughness, ds and bubble.

I agree it, but I think the situation owe to rotten and stim modifer. In last version that are not the same, psyker lived for more bubble to protect their ogryn and zealot teammates. Because ogryn can efficiently kill some garden elites. However, ogryn got nerf this version. That’s so nonsensical with the two hardest modifer and elite strengthening came out.

If me and the boys can go 3 in a row playing like this

I’m not so convinced about this metagame division of labor.

It’s already nerfed with crushers hp being buffed and if it’s havoc 40 with rotten armor, then it’s really bleak for rumbler boys, all ogryns i saw against rotten armor and whatever else with rumbler builds just wasted ammo, effectiveness was mediocre at the best.

Of course they are! In the end we are all just human and any difference between us pretty damn trivial but some people still cling to wierd antiquated ideas about innate superiority and then hypocritically call other people racist🤦give me a break!

There needs to be a new havoc 40 mod that randomly chooses your loadout that would be so funny, pls fatshark

If that was a thing I would start playing havoc

Make it a Chaos Wastes like mode that also has you start with a clear talent tree and while you play the game, the further you go, the more perks/talents/abilites you randomly get.
