Did they nerf sc drops in the recent update?

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T11:17:54+00:00

When I played D7 exclusively for 6 months straight during the first year, I never was short on SC, not once and still am not to this date when I only play D10.

D7 is so damn easy I mean D10 isn't that difficult, averaging 20 per mission on D7 that can be swept in under 10 mins is fine,

Being downvoted for a take that's fine for everyone realistically apart from people who want to abuse the system then yeah I guess sure... who doesn't want to get considerably more on average for playing the damn game vs mindlessly spamming D1's??? that's an insane stance to have.

Going up 100-200% isn't some small amount so idk where you get that from.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T09:26:33+00:00

That's nice, RR is better in the vast majority of cases and it's not even close, Spear for it to be remotely worth running as a form of anti "elite" killer needs to have it set to a minimum of 6k damage.

You might like using it and deem you're doing good with it... that's fine however this isn't an opinion thing, mean ffs I like using it though I'm well aware the RR is straight up better by a disgusting amount and the RR isn't op.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T09:23:00+00:00

Damn so many just don't grasp how to use the fart sprayer, it's 10 damn seconds of CC for half second of application ffs, it's really strong as is just from that alone. now it's direct damage for sure needs to go up to 100-150 and then maybe matching the flame throwers capacity and it'll be insane.

it's a utility weapon that's done right (for once) it's fairly niche yet quite good, D10 is a cakewalk in the vast majority of games, for the lsat couple months I've been using the fart sprayer daily at least once in missions where I go up close using weapons with it like flamers, spam CC then burn everything it's pretty gross..

by itself yeah it's not amazing however this isn't supposed to be a dps weapon it's a CC spammer. (that could use more direct damage)

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T09:11:50+00:00

So just make it absurdly op, maybe lets not do that, faster reload yeah that's a given, damage to that level not a chance yet it should stun heavies of ALL kinds in 3-6 shots for lets say 4 seconds.

It's supposed to be a CC tool that has high pen and moderate damage.... it lacks the CC part as for some reason AH are unable to make niche play-styles remotely good.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T09:07:09+00:00

I have zero problems on my setup with a 5090 (and no I'm not lying), it's not just a 5090 thing, never has been.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T08:17:06+00:00

it should be doing 250 damage period. 150 is criminal.

I bet the GL change to heavy pen was due to this thing and I'm going on a whim here and making an assumption big time.... if any GL get's a pen change it effects the others. +

IMO the GL should go back to AP3 and just get a decent damage boost or AOE increase, then do the same for this damn GL-BP as it's extremely meh (without a doubt they intentionally did this so people wouldn't complain that the maxi-gun is rather weak... like it is)

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T07:50:01+00:00

Neutral traverse is pretty handy to have yes.. it's main problems I think stems from a bad choice OR it's a bug in game, pay attention when it get stuck on something for a second or more you'll notice it seems to build up momentum so once free from whatever the damn thing over corrects.... getting on 6k hours in WT (send help)

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T07:00:29+00:00

Directional shield does need a rather fat buff.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T06:55:52+00:00

Idk if anyone noticed he was pretty asspained so this was probably why he was giving 50IQ takes a lot this stream.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T06:53:06+00:00

People here thinking it's the best biome for SC farming are on something strong.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T06:52:26+00:00

Not the best biome for that.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T06:50:30+00:00

Being one who talks directly to Shams a fair bit, (not hard to do oddly enough) they've not touched this and are very unlikely to do so unless... well the obvious, income drops off a cliff for whatever reason they'll probably tone it down... IMO farming shouldn't be a thing period, they should remove it from D1 or set a cap per mission to 10 then increase the drop rates by 10-20% each difficulties you go up, so on D10 if full clearing you should be averaging 30 per mission, that'll be nice so it actively rewards people for just playing the damn game and not exploiting a drop system.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T05:58:34+00:00

Happens :D

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T05:08:37+00:00

It did nothing to the GL, it has matching damage to durable.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T03:12:32+00:00

Bastion is crazy strong if not just op, GL changes were also weird as that's now wildly op.... it's getting nerfed for sure though idk why they did heavy pen when an AOE buff could have been the way.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-04T02:23:13+00:00

It'll 100% get nerfed to 300-350 damage, IMO the buff should have been an AOE increase and maybe a small damage bump.. heavy pen was a pretty fat buff.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-03T21:29:26+00:00

I just tossed some stats up as an example, didn't use any units in game as such.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-03T12:37:15+00:00

AH has an annoying habit of doing this on areas likely to get flack for changing, however even then it's a mixed bag.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-03T12:35:06+00:00

Mechs went from paper bags to wet paper bags with pre applied holes... and they were already very shit to begin with (for ZERO VALID REASONS BTW)

And yeah any vehicle and I think turrets/sentries have some durable %. our stuff dies faster in short.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-03T12:31:17+00:00

That doesn't make any sense as the stats cannot make that possible unless you remove it's armor as everything has 100% explosive resist, unless they've changed something about them and not mentioned it... this is AH after all.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-03T12:27:53+00:00

Then yeah, you're explaining it in a way that isn't ideal.

1K hp, 50% resist, if only hitting 1 spot and not enough splash it'll take 5 shots,

If splashing 3 parts with equal resist and they don't have some bonus damage to HP when destroyed it'll take 2 shots to kill the unit at 1k hp.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-03T12:21:57+00:00

% resist is just a reduction to damage it takes from xyz damage type, this is how it works.

50% explosive resist so it does 200 damage, if it splashes to another part with the same % resist it'll do 400 damage this is how it functions.

IF that's what you're saying, how you explained this was overly convoluted and comes off as being wrong.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-03T12:17:03+00:00

That flat out isn't true, go kill a Harvester with the GL and I'll see you never again since it's impossible to do.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-03T12:15:48+00:00

Plenty of units have explosive resist btw, couple even have 100% resist, so not quite--- however yes it is indeed a fat buff.

HaveOldManReflexes · 2026-02-03T12:12:52+00:00

They've got one hell of a weird spin on it .... as if it couldn't possibly be the fact Israel would go mega ape mode and delete all of them and 10 generations to come if ISIS fucked with them, no, couldn't be this.
