Let’s be fair… and I am the one that, at all patch, point that several weapons / blessings are yet not fixed.
But they fixed lot of things… check all or nothing, now it is surgical… several patches ago they buffed laspitol etc.
And Catfish said they are discussing about bugged weapons… so I guess we will see more fix coming.
Bricking weapons that are a massive RNG investment surely won’t backfire and cause more people to leave right?
LOL you expect them to buff every weapon in the game to Flamer and Power Sword level when people are already saying the game is easy?
Also it’s called being efficient not lazy, if there are 77 weapons in the game and there are only 2 outlier you don’t put all your workforce into making 75 weapons as strong as the 2 outlier.
And if you literally can’t survive without using prenerf Flamer or Power Sword then that on you.
If you think a power sword with power cycler is somehow bricked now when it still triples your charged hits I really don’t even know what to tell you.
Brick? If your Power Sword have Power Cycler and Slaughterer it would still have more advantage over any other Power Sword. It’s not like they make your blessing dissapear or anything.
What I would call brick is the Crucian Roulette situation since you can’t change your blessing if it’s locked, and it’s the bad crafting system that’s to blame. Although the fact that FS can’t do math so they accidently nerfed the blessing instead of adjust it is pretty stupid too.
Most other weapons are very definitely viable. Biggest issue is still certain MKs being straight inferior. Wild to even suggest pre nerf flamer and power Sword were models of just “viable” weapons.
I won’t know because I only play Ogryn, but mucking up people’s items when they have zero agency to change them is garbage design regardless.
They changed the underlying logic on how charged hits run down (used to be timed and reduces on mass hit), meaning my ghetto BM Powersword is pretty rubbish, so I’m not too stoked about that.
BM should still help a fair bit in situations where activating might be a bit dangerous. Slaughter + BM power sword isn’t even a bad weapon uncharged…
Probably still better than claw TBH.
77 weapons of which how many are useful?
And how many are unique?
Good thing that you think we shot the weapon at the same time. It was purposefully done with a premade group to test if we could still match some of the old paces we had previously done runs with. We barely saw a difference.
Fact is the weapon is still viable even when overstacked and having the supposed weaknesses against enemies such as snipers, shooters, shotgunners and whatnot.
Well, they should have done it.
(Someone who enjoyed 1st pyro with the overcharge reduction on crits beam staff)
It’s more of a quality of life reduction. Having to activate every swing is why I rarely use most activation special weapons.
The Flamer was the weakest of the “meta” ranged weapons. If FS wanted to nerf it, so be it, but it’s hard to make the case it should have been nerfed while Pinning Fire Autopistol and Bolter remain intact.
Pinning Fire and those 2 guns are a bad comparison, Shredder autopistol with it is like 1.5x the DPS of braced 8 autogun which is already insane at 1700~ far eclipsing most guns already.
But really why can’t they fix some melees just not working? Why is it a big developer pow wow to change a single variable in a line of lua code? All Ogryn clubs, Rashad Axe and Krourk Cleavers still unfinished buggy content 5 months in.
Nicely taken out of context. I was talking about the Braced Autogun and the Bolter gun in that post, quoting Ralendil.
So what Blessing would be a good Blessing for you? What level of power is just the right level of power?
In Vermintide 2, there was on Blessing everyone picked and everything else (5 others) went mostly unused.
Agreed. Feels really bad to use when the entire point of the weapon has to be re-activated every swing.
With that line of thinking there won’t be any viable playstyles but the Infantry Lasgun left.
If your definition of useful and unique is being able to single handedly breeze through everything then there’s none I guess.
or maybe I would put Auto Pistol in there since I feel a bit generous, although it can’t kill Crusher without wasting gazillion amount of ammo ofc.
Well, you’re saying like now Power Sword can’t do that.
With Power Cycler, it will be 3 swings per activation, pretty much like running without it pre-nerf.
Also, I can even get an Auto Pistol to combine all that.
So what’s your point? Nerf everything till the game won’t bring any fun at all? Run around with sticks and stones?
Infantry lasgun shouldn’t be the only good playstyle, but I’m sorry, it should be the best ranged weapon in the game when used properly. Having to hit constant headshots to get any real damage out of the weapon should come with a reward. Pinning Fire Auopistol and Bolter should not beat it out with no effort.
Alternatively, Pinning Fire could be changed to only activate on headshots. The Autopistol would lose its meta status overnight.
I don’t think I’ve ever say nerf everything in anywhere but whatever, also fighting Herectic with sticks and stone sound pretty fun I guess. I mean we already killing them with poop shovel and all.
