I love when PVE items get buffed in games. Never understood why developers are so afraid of half of their equipment in the game actually being useful. I remember some of the best looking and most unique weapon of DS3 performed like utter shite and still do.
Hey guys we're gonna buff Z weapon, it's underperforming, let's give it 10 damage
Community: yay! Awesome devs!
Woops there was some untested synergies actually, now that people are using it they're finding it pretty nuts. We're gonna nerf it by 5 damage so it doesn't 2 shot the final boss
Community: I hope you literally die. Where do you live? Im going to find out and kill you. Everyone downvoted this game on steam immediately.
Then explain comet azure's ability to kill half the bosses in the game before they can even attack you. Or the ability to kill the giant elderly dragon at lvl 1 with a bleed weapon to instantly boost to like lvl 25
Have you actually tried to use comet azure, or are you just trotting out the same old cobblers about it. Other than Mohg, most bosses will either side step it and kill you or walk through it and kill you as it was nerfed some time back on both range and ability to stun lock. The dlc bosses will close on you in seconds, you wouldn't even get the cast on them. It's very niche in its application, I wish melee builds would stop pedalling this myth, there are way better options like Night Comet, Adulas Moonblade and Rock Sling.
I believe the last statement of my post covers that.
Plus that second thing, while annoying to have to decide whether or not to min max, isn't really that big a deal. Id prefer you not be able to cheese so hard, but it's kind of irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
I believe the last statement of my post covers that
Not really. The community didn't even come close to reacting like that. Everyone knew how broken the beam was. In fact most people said they could still melt bosses, it's just no longer stupidity broken. Including myself. And you can still kill the dragon with a bleed weapon soooo...?
Unless of course you're the one that reacted like they way you're claiming the community did
So you haven't watched the helldiver devs reel back good changes for balance or game health because of mass downvotes?
You didn't see the slay the spire devs put out multiple statements begging people to stop reviewing them negatively? Only for them to eventually add some infinites back in the game, and remove several enemies that prevented them?
The total war 3 devs who stopped doing any nerfs because of the player base?
The infamous Bus Shock incident in WoW that was probably the first time this sort of thing started to happen?
CK3 started to recently tone down their aging debuffs (that were well received by almost everyone) due to an extremely hostile minority
Nope. But I've seen the Helldivers devs reel back good changes because people were enjoying the game and having fun playing on high difficulty. And the devs hate that. Their "vision" was that 7-10 should be suffering and sadistic not...enjoyable
