The speed of the knife and the Zealot toolkit promotes anti teamwork and encourages the worst style of gameplay in this game. While I don’t play Zealot past lvl 30 (also pre tree rework) it’s becoming apparent from many hours in auric mael as Ogryn and Psyker, that Zealot needs a nerf so they aren’t able to trivialize the gameplay mechanics and ignore the teamplay aspects of the game. I login to play coop, not watch you treat the match like a true solo Running around spam sliding, cheesing the mechanics of the game isn’t what I want to see in my games. It’s extremely toxic to the other 3 players who are actually staying together, watching each other’s backs, pinging enemies, yet end up being pelted by gunners while zealot dances around an elite with his knife. The saddest part is that I see many people who think they are really good, because they can cheese this one aspect of the game, yet are pretty mid to dogshit at the other classes because they have pigeon holed themselves into that selfish and what should be a nonviable playstyle. What winds up happening a lot with these builds is they feed their team to ranged enemies, force themselves into a clutch position and get caught by a horde or disabler or 2 gunners, then pat themselves on the back for being the last one alive. /vent FS please consider reworking speed of the knife, sustain of zealot or both. It’s getting really annoying leaving games because this class encourages main character syndrome.

the only problem is Vandel/VeLo. anyone else know this insane rusher?

[image] RTO: As I “mentioned” the suggested nerf will affect anyone. And they should speak. The brain is real. Just like literally every other nerf affected anyone? What a shock.

Yep, and they can speak. What a shock?

[image] Enforest: And your carefully curated screenshots Oh by the way which one do you want? I dont have to select. These are from the same day. Actually in the time stamps they are within 2 hours. [image] or we can do yesterday too. Frrom 4 to 7 am? Sound good? [image]

[image] RTO: As I “mentioned” the suggested nerf will affect anyone. And they should speak. The brain is real. The problem is @RTO that the current balance allows the rusher playstyle. Basically with moderate skill you can become untouchable by enemies. This gives rise to a playstyle which I find way too common, that hurts other’s enjoyment of the game. Sure nerfing it would “hurt” anyone, but would at least stop or at least considerably reduce the rusher playstyle. It doesn’t matter that you don’t play like this, many others do, and I’m personally very tired of the all too familiar experience of having 1 rusher, 1 revolving door leaver and a third teammate I have to duo through map while the rusher agro dumps sh-t at us at regular intervals.

I’ll just leave this here: [image] Let's provide Fatshark some constructive criticism on how to improve many of the underpowered weapons. Post how you would rebalance & improve certain weapons and your reasoning General Discussion Buff tactical axe range This is just wrong :disappointed:

Well, vets can’t rush like zealot or at least not as good. I’m not saying we should nerf zealot but maybe fine tune. Personally, I rarely see a play who rushes way too far. Maybe once a week and I’m ok with it. I’m not sure what it’s like outside Auric Mael.

Holy cringe. The self-promotion is so real. Since you apparently screenshot every end-mission screen, and even mark time-stamps, I think we could use a dozen more for this thread to clearly make sure how awesome you are. I am sure this has a lot to do with rushers having to rely on an imbalanced weapon :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:

[image] RTO: Well, vets can’t rush like zealot or at least not as good. You have seen nothing. Thankfully it’s not nearly as common as Zealots doing it.

I agree with this post. But let’s coming back civil, polite and on discussion. My opinion is that the problem is not zealot + knife (at least about rushing), as a lot can rush and not only dagger zealot. Speaking of daggers (combat blade), I tend to think that, yes, the movement speed could be nerfed. It should be better than with a tactical axe, but not with a so huge difference. Don’t remember who pointed that to me in the other discussion on the same topic, but must say I have been convinced by the numbers. The dagger movement speed is too much, and this should be nerfed. But as always, I fear the worst that FS could nerf it to the ground. And this would be a disaster.
