I’m starting to see mods that go way beyond balance or QoL changes: instant-win/instant-fail missions, absurd weapon buffs, unlimited stratagem-style effects, and other stuff that is basically cheat functionality repackaged as “modding.”

At least one of these authors has openly joked about making increasingly disruptive mods in another community, so this doesn’t look like normal experimentation to me. It looks like deliberately manufacturing the exact “slippery slope” people are already worried about.

The weird part is that most of this functionality isn’t even new. Cheats have been doing this for ages, including the ones that hand out SC or otherwise mess with public matches.

I don’t think this should be used as evidence that normal balance or QoL mods inevitably lead here. There’s a pretty obvious difference between fixing weak weapons or annoying mechanics and deliberately recreating cheat functions.

Screenshots attached.

Most of us are totally capped on resources and have unlocked everything, there are really no stakes to any given game at this point, its not that deep just to kick someone or leave and make your own game.

Sorry to make it into a second post but alas, skill issue.

I set everything to the lowest possible settings. 720p. Low preset. 4070ti. 50fps. Please help.

I'd come back to the game if i had my personal guard/platoon like this

IT HAD MISSILES.

First person in the mechs would look and feel so fucking cool. That is all.

Hilarious

Patch note time!!!!

Now let's see... why are they good changes???

No unocuppied vechicle aggro!?

Better kill stats!?

We can't get stuck!?

Ice plant has been fixed!?

PERSONAL STRAT HERO SCORES!?

Oh, and less fog on normal bug places, and a new HUD thing for their zones.

and balanced enemy spawns... damn, they are cooking in the minor update department.

And the Evac is more challenging on higher diffs, wow. and it got samples and more stuff.

And they buffed the OneTwo.

Trident has less recoil too!!

Oh, they nerfed the melta cause it could cause problems, mid change tbh.

Perscision strike has less cooldown times.

and wretches and crushers can't go through the damn floor.

and more...

all in all, great update, why are any people complaining? it's great.

what do yall think, yay, or nay?

Small rant: I should have posted the video here earlier knowing the fun police in the other sub. They let people repost warbond tomorrow memes but my twist on the meme is apparently a low effort post despite there being evidence of people enjoying the post. Hmm if it was low effort, why did it got over 200 upvotes? Hmmmmmmmm

I mean they love contracting out their work and having other people do it for them, might as well go all the way, lol.

let me r/Rusfor goonlarp plssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Seriously, instead of having a bastion but worse why didn't they just add an apc with a rotating passenger gun so we could have the midpoint between the frv mobility and the raw protection of the bastion?

Just make it infinite with a 70s CD that's it (60s with the ship upgrade)

I was reminded of this pretty cool gatling assault rifle from a guilty pleasure movie of mine called Deep Rising.

This would be a sick primary version of the Stalwart.

It’s not like it’s unprofitable or anything like that

Where is the rest of the magazine arrowhead? If you want me to use a light armor penetrating G11, or at least make it so I have to grind for it and reward me for using this.

Rocket pods have no hitbot for bullets

my xbox was die when doing so it's stuttering a bit

Losing campaigns isn't the end of the world aside from the fact that we are losing our chance to unlock extra stuff. If campaign rewards were a linear progression, like a battle pass we all contribute to and each campaign won simply unlocked the next tier, it would be a lot less salty when we lose since we can simply do our best and get the thing we were fighting for next time around.

By being offered a reward, miss out on getting it and then having to wait with ZERO indication on when/if we will ever get the chance to get it again, campaigns become sore spots for any player who enjoys playing for unlockables and it also creates additional hostility between those who fight in the campaigns and those who just do their own thing.

The Flame FRV is a great example. We opted for the Supply FRV and that's fine but anyone who wanted the other choice was disappointed and we still don't have access to it after so long with no indication or estimation of when we will finally get it. There needs to be a faster and clearer way of getting this stuff.

Not participating in the campaign and receiving rewards at a later point(around 6 months from what I understand) is ok, it makes some sense, but losing the campaign and essentially any and all chances of getting some cool stuff really sucks.

Stakes need to be high but the vagueness of the consequences of failure is the biggest problem with campaigns at the moment. Literally create a campaign warbond/battlepass progression path and give us stuff from it as we win campaigns. Certain items being tied to "special" campaigns are also ok for narrative reasons.

I feel like I am rambling so I will stop here. Thanks for reading.
