Wierd team dynamic

[Lexa]

@Haiboku

the only good nerfs this game has seen were the nerfs to the player weapons flamer and power sword because those changes made the game harder and those are good changes but im sure you also complained about those changes too because poor little lexa cant handle the enemies in this game.

Yup, you got me.

Here is where I explicitly ask for buffs to all weapons because this game is so difficult for me:

@Lexa

One thing you need to understand is that people don’t want nerfs to increase difficulty and “challenge themselves”.
We want nerfs because some weapons are completely out of tune and using them make the whole experience less fun for others in the team who now, justifiably, feel like they are making less of an impact.

Here’s me complaining more about those nerfs:

@Lexa

If you only buff, damnation will be trivialized when (if) crafting gets fixed.

and here is where I complete deny that PS is OP:

@Lexa

There is no difficulty in the game where powersword is fun instead of OP.

And when I ask:

@Lexa

how is it not “easier to nerf 1 weapon instead of buffing 14”

I am actually calling for buffs, not nerfs if you can believe it.

Or here where I suggest that the flamer needs super buffs because I die in this game alot:

@Lexa

Are you suggesting that the flamer was only strong when mastered?
What mastering? The flamer is the least skill-based weapon in the game.

Now look at this clown and these calls for buffing the PS:

@Lexa

Do you think that this game should have balance patches?
  - No, FS did a great job on their first try
  - Yes, just like any other multiplayer game

If yes, then how should it be implemented?
  - Nerfs only, because every weapon/blessing/perk/skill seems fine except for a few that make the game too easy even on highest difficulty
  - Buffs only, because somehow it is easier to buff 99% of stuff instead of Nerf 1%, but also you need a new difficulty tier because now everything is trivial
  - Buffs and Nerfs, like in any game that ever existed, because some weapon are undertuned and some are overtuned

If Nerfs are OK, then what should be nerfed if not PS?

I have emotions, and I am not ashamed to cry about any potential nerfs to my OP weapons:

@Lexa

Everyone’s crying about how hi-int shock missions are the only ones that aren’t boring, yet still no one wants their clearly overpowered feats/weapons/blessings nerfed.
What that will get us, in the long run, is a new difficulty with more damage sponges spawned on the map making OP stuff even more mandatory and gameplay even more boring.

Jesus, is this me after the nerfs? Pure power sword copium by me here:

@Lexa

I believe PS (along with CA) is still the best melee weapon in the game, and it’s exclusive to the best ranged class in the game.

You won’t believe what my actual, completely non-sarcastic suggestion for re-balancing the PS was:

@Lexa

Not sure why this thread is so long (TL;DR), but the solution is very simple.

• remove PC blessing
• remove activation
• add deflector blessing to PS
• add T4 PC as default (without activation)
• make special such that you can throw the PS and it flies around the room taking heads off of specials/elites before returning to you while, in the mean time, you can use your ranged weapon to kill whatever is left in the room.

Can you imagine the sheer amount of FUN that would be achieved?
That’s the goal, right? Fun?

Guess you were right: I’m a crybaby who wants to buff everything because this PvE game is too difficult for me.

PS: I suggest looking into those posts’ threads for context if it’s confusing.
