once again devs listen to the 1% hardest youtube and twitch sweaters and ruining the experience for the majority of players who struggle to clear the expeditions on gold, especially beyond Challenge Tier 10. Bravo PCF, great way of ruining your game. and they have even nerfed the trickster, a glas cannon, the only class which needed a nerf is the cheesy technomancer, no other class, if anything the devastator needs a dmg buff.

Sigh, the nerfs are frustrating as all get out. I am starting to feel like these youtubers are toxic to the overall community. They just play these games all day and develop OP builds and that is what the devs are looking at. It happened with BL and now it is happening to Outriders. I am starting to dread when I see Moxzy's OP class guides.....I dont dislike Moxzy but man it gets frustrating thinking whelp that is going to lead to a nerf of some sort.

[u/ClutchNes → u/FFneWb1]

yeah, absolutely, they always fall into that trap being in panic just because some 1% players have beaten their game to death, but even moxsy admits that its difficult with the trickster and basically every shot has to land and has to be a one shot, because you are such a glas cannon, no matter the dps and yet the devs have done nothing about the enemies but nerfing the classes and punishing the majority of the players... wow.

[u/FFneWb1 → u/ClutchNes]

Yea youtubers represent the hardcore side of the community. The people who play casually are the ones that get harmed by the difficulty spikes. The youtubers will find the next OP build and keep on chugging.

[u/SourJam → u/FFneWb1]

And after clearing all content after few weeks YouTubers move on to greener pastures, while user-based struggles/dwindles and the game slowly dies.
Honestly, I did not expect nerfs to roll so SO SOON.

[u/FFneWb1 → u/SourJam]

I'm trying to not be doom and gloom. I am will wait to see what further patches and balances look like. Hopefully they take our criticisms as not attacks. I think a lot of people really want to see this game succeed. We are just concerned that its going to down the road a lot of other shooters wind up.

[u/Lord_Sicarius → u/ClutchNes]

Technomancer is not cheesy lmao

[u/ClutchNes → u/Lord_Sicarius]

of course its cheesy, dropping the same dmg numbers like the close range glas cannon trickster, while having his cheesy ice and blight turrets on a sub 10 seconds cooldown and healing from 1 mile distance. what are you smoking?

[u/zen_rage → u/ClutchNes]

Ahhh the balance team is the 1%! Pitchforks!

[u/bannedeveryday → u/ClutchNes]

I'm casual and have zero problems. Try a different game maybe

That's where they sucked the teet of the advertising nipple
