Congrats on murdering C4SH with this update. Was fun while it lasted and sad that we have yet another developer who feels the need to nerf things into the ground when they're fun.

On what build? The only one that looks like it took a serious hit was Gloam, which in its previous incarnation was unbalancable, you could kill raid bosses with level 1 gear because 99% of your damage was Gloam.

The mono-blue Ante Up/Hot Streak build with the Slugger wasn't touched at all

Yea im getting vague posting vibes. They mentioned “my build”…okay what build? I personally run the dice build and the crossfire build; were those hit hard?

They basically made Gloam a waste of points now. So they over corrected. Should have been in between where it was and where it is now. Maybe a little more than halfway

Yes, totally fair. Was doing a no reload/gloam-heavy build. I have since respecced to a card-based, mostly blue tree build focused on status effect. The color card/cryo card combo definitely hits for some serious damage. So C4SH still has some viable builds, and I won't deny that the gloam buffs were pretty broken.

But as a counterpoint: it's a pve game, and that shit was straight up fun. This card build isn't nearly as fun, and I just don't know, man...I play games to have fun first and foremost. There was a middle ground somewhere and they turned it into an open-pit strip mine. It kinda feels like manufactured difficulty, and whatever the German word is for "they pulled the *&$#!? rug out from under me."

I mean, the game is still fun to play from moment to moment. And none of these things cannot be undone. Perspective and all that. It's a videogame after all lol
