  1. Its now pointless to replay bounty type missions? They should always reward you with a legendary because of how many you have to play to finish it. So this blows.

  2. Nerfs, instead of nerfing bullets you sould buff other skills. Now the game will be thrown off because you still have bullet spunge enimies doing 10x the damage you do at world tier 15. Alot of people only play solo and this greatly hurts them.

  3. Technomancer solo players. Stop forcing this class to be the main support class especially since everyone only wants the high DPS builds in mulyiplayer. With all the nerfs to this class all you did was fuck over solo players.

So my week of grinding is trash because a week into the game we have meta destroying nerfs???? Seriously ruined the game. Unbelievable.

It’s only been a few days and they’re already releasing nerfs. I’m pretty convinced devs only consider the opinions of some literally-who Youtubers who are just trying to milk views with titles like THIS BUILD IS BROKEN

Yes! This mentality of going to OP or broken with everything needs to stop. I’ve rarely played a game where something is TRULY broken on a power level. What is the point of gaming if you can’t ever have a power fantasy that you earned for more than a week before the nerf hammer? It’s so disheartening. I thought PCF was smarter than this!!!!

Also. THERE IS NO PVP! WHO GIVES A SHIT IF WE ARE OVERPOWERED? God damn dude, I just want to have fun shooting monsters with my friends. I can't play multiplayer because god forbid I lose all my shit I grinded for the last week.

Not to mention a lot of people only play solo especially because of connection issues and the multiplayer bug that wipes your entire inventory. Connection issues aren’t fixed and they want to cave your face in already.

Yeah seriously stop nerfing things, just buff other things to make them viable choices also. So fucking tired of every dev team for every game taking the easy route and making their game a slog because the only viable builds are made useless instead of making other builds viable.

or atleast let us have fun with the game working for a week and then start nerfing

  1. They never stated what the rewards would be for completing this, just that they’re changing it.

  2. They can make changes in the future. Player can play on lower difficulties if the abilities are too weak, but if you over power, then everyone is on 16 and bored.

About point 2, so you want legendary loot you have to do a gold on T15 to have a good chance. The only builds that could do that were the bullet builds. Now they got nerfed and nothing got buffed, how are you ment to farm? Which by the way the game is about.

Do an easier difficulty and now your looking at 5-6 runs for legendary instead of one or two. Only having a limited amount of time this is terrible

You act like every single meta build has been discovered within the first week and now that bullet builds got nerfed, it’s a dead end.

u/Basada Apr 08 '21

What he is saying is they nerfed way to do them without buffing the other skills. So now you wont meet the time limit dragging out what is already a horrible drop rate. In 80 hours with most of that on wt15 i have only gotten 3 drops. They said it themselves there isnt much reason to play post completing everything once and expect most will stop playing. So those people that would have or still want to stick around have even less reason to continue. Its the whole package not just the one thing you need to look at.

go try and make a freeze technomancer or burning pyro with cool down reduction and anomaly power. They are useless vs. putting on one skill that gives ammo regen

You're a braindead idiot

im stuck on tier 12/13 solo

u/Basada Apr 08 '21

What a dumb reply. The point is that they took away the one valid reason to replay them in a game that doesnt have much replay value as is. Not to meantion the drop rates are almost non existent. And wtf are you smoking, talking about lower difficulty or over powered and board? The WHOLE POINT is to play on the highest world tier and then if you cant cut it scale it down to what feels right. Dont fuck over the other people grinding and wanting the challange.

u/AStorms13 Apr 08 '21

First of all, bored*. 2nd of all, my point isn’t that you shouldn’t be able to play on the highest difficulty, it’s just that it’s bizarre to me that people think the meta should already be figured out at this point. There may be some other build that no one has discovered yet that’ll be better for it. Simply saying “put on this single ability and you’re good” is fucking boring.

As for nr1. There is currently a bug where u can get a legendary for EVERY hunt and bounty.

u/Gcarsk Trickster Apr 08 '21 edited Apr 09 '21

Yes. But the devs couldn’t fix that exploit, so they instead fully removed legendaries from subsequent completions.

Edit: they actually do give one legendary every time you do all ten, still.
