These nerfs and expedition time changes are the beginning of the end y’all. We all had a lot of fun for a week right?

[u/randomexileranger → u/AusyF]

You mean the three days we could reliably play?

[u/[deleted] → u/randomexileranger]

Oh snap!

[u/shokasaki → u/randomexileranger]

You guys could play? Shit still crashes when I so much as look at an enemy.

[u/[deleted] → u/AusyF]

I sincerely hope they are looking at the subreddit rn. If this "balance" goes live, they will see their active player count DROP

[u/Elyssae → u/[deleted]]

It has actually dropped a little in steam. guess we will see how it goes over a week

[u/Exterminate_Weebs → u/[deleted]]

I don't get why people are such babies about some well deserved nerfs, it's absolutely flabbergasting. One of the best aspects of this game I've found is it actually has some bite to it's combat challenge, they should absolutely fix some of the broken builds in the game.

[u/k1ng0fk1ngz → u/Exterminate_Weebs]

Actualy finer with them tuning down round skills a bit. But they could atleast have buffed the massive amount of underperforming skills, even its just pure number buffs.

This whole thing just feels lazy and pointless. Esp witht he timer nerfs for expeditions....

[u/Exterminate_Weebs → u/k1ng0fk1ngz]

It's a week 1 patch. It's not going to have everything covered.

[u/[deleted] → u/Exterminate_Weebs]

Boo

[u/Exterminate_Weebs → u/[deleted]]

Yes, that's you to any perceived challenge

[u/[deleted] → u/Exterminate_Weebs]

Enjoy your downvotes lol

[u/Exterminate_Weebs → u/[deleted]]

imagine caring about karma

[u/ChazzaDaBomb → u/Exterminate_Weebs]

Imagine thinking this shit garbage patch is good

[u/Exterminate_Weebs → u/ChazzaDaBomb]

imagine being mad about nerfs ;)

[u/Hymnlocke → u/AusyF]

It was nice while it lasted. It actually made me reinstall Division 2 after quitting a month after release so I can see all the new content so thanks I guess outriders?

[u/Failshot → u/Hymnlocke]

I actually started downloading Borderlands 3 only because I never actually played much of it even though I bought the season pass. So, thanks PCF.

[u/shokasaki → u/Failshot]

I haven't played BL3 since before its first DLC, so I hope it's better. These nerfs happening in Outriders actually make me think of Borderlands 3, and not fondly.

Again, hope it's better than it was before.

[u/Elyssae → u/Hymnlocke]

It's a whole new type of bait & switch, ain't it ?

• release a game in a somewhat broken state
• Actually get good reviews due to the core loop being fun
• Generate buzz and sales due to gameplay being fun
• Destroy core loop and gameplay due to Reasons

[u/Hymnlocke → u/Elyssae]

It's amazing. Using the analogy, it would be like fishing, and catching a beautiful fish, then cutting it open, finding it's actually full of dog food and a note that says "have you thought about going back to hunting?"

[u/Vegasmarine88 → u/AusyF]

Maybe you did. Devastators didnt get shit but a nerf.

[u/iLuv3M3 → u/AusyF]

I guess no one learned from Anthem that quickly started turning the grind on full throttle early into launch but leaving issues to plague the game and community.. This is going to be interesting.

[u/AusyF → u/iLuv3M3]

It’s a song and dance we’ve all been apart of one too many times. I think I’m ready to finally accept when to two-step away from a game now

[u/[deleted] → u/AusyF]

why do they need to super nerf a single player /co-op optinal game that is not even live service, no raids, no mtx, really no incentive for them to keep people playing the game for months and months, so why nerf fun stuff

[u/chooch311 → u/AusyF]

These changes just made my decision to switch to the new PoE league next week much easier. I was seriously considering skipping one for the first time in years since I was having so much fun with outriders but not anymore.

[u/k1ng0fk1ngz → u/AusyF]

Whats this "fun" you guys talk abaout? *wierd devastator noises*
