The game balance discourse

They way everyone talks about balance reminds me of Tekken people going ‘my character is so bad pls buff’ ‘that character is so broken pls nerf’ it’s kinda funny

It’s very human. Opinion differ, people often don’t even agree when solid stats are present. Emotions run high when someone’s precious toy gets nerfed, or buffed. Then there is a matter why people play the game in the first place. I know people who consider Darktide too intense, because they want to enjoy looking around the maps. Then we have people who obsessively play only with what is considered the best / meta, those who obsessively avoid those setups, and those in-between. Also finally, people who just sit down to play the game on Friday evening, and are totally oblivious about balance discourse, nor they care.

Exactly why all the fuss I’m just having fun baybeee

People are so worked up about flame staff just don’t use it lol I don’t get it I don’t have people insist on bringing it either so it’s weird maybe they feel forced to use it for some reason like gold toughness stuff I don’t use them at all.

You must be trolling or well… I won’t say the alternative.

Your argument has been refuted on this forum countless times.

fuss? you made the thread and 75% of the quotes before this…

Personally and it maybe a quirk of the monitor or settings i use, but i find the flame weapons to be insanely disruptive i cant see anything when someone uses them.

Ah yes vague posting the best way to get a point across

It’s true I am fussing about the fuss a bit and I would definitely say when using the flame staff it is hard to see what exactly you are shooting at

Really? You need me to explain this to you?

Anyone can choose not to use flamestaff, but unless you’re playing premades you can’t avoid playing with someone who removes all enemies in front of you will it.

The fact that you couldn’t think of this yourself is one thing. Sprinkling your written sentences with “lol” doesn’t really make me think highly of you either.

I use party finder all the time this reality you present just isn’t there for me I genuinely haven’t seen a flame psyker recently but that is anecdotal maybe you see them more

The greatest problem with flame staff is not its strength actually, but the fact that it leaves little room for other builds. It’s just so much better than everything else, there’s no reason for people to experiment on Psyker.

It’s strength is not a problem forum people make it out to be, because I’ve met way more bad Psykers than good Psykers who “kill everything on their own”. Just because Psyker deals top damage in Havoc, it doesn’t mean anything, when 90% of the Psykers go down in the first 5 minutes when they don’t play with 3 strong other players.

I personally just dislike seeing flame staff in every lobby at this point, because it just makes every game feel the same. People are generic andys, especially in auric. Like, bro, in auric you can top damage with any build, STOP playing flame every_single_game.

Flame staff is like chorus it’s easy to use so why try anything else.

A lot of players are accustomed to the ‘deathball’ strat of spamming chorus taunt or shout around the psyker all game keeping threats locked down so the psyker can kill without thinking about avoiding attack

so bcs you arent encountering it by doing something the majority dont its completely fine? whats that kind of argument. if you donbt get the fuss try to look for the discussions more, bcs it rather clear why quite a few find it so offensive

also saying that people just shouldnt use it is such a bad argument, bcs you will play with others who do, and it can be quite unfun to play with

I don’t think it’s unfun to play with

cool that you dont think that. alot do

And then Tekken 8 gave every character a bunch of easy to use oppressive tools that ends up in the game becoming less interactive. It’s kinda almost like Darktide.

Who do you main I play Bryan Fury

In chronological order I’ve played Victor, Claudio & Reina. Might play Kuni, Bob or Law if I decide to pick up the game again.

I almost got back in when they announced ogre but I can’t dedicate hard between both games so I’ll leave that one
