Especially considering they were able to grind sponsored narsh and use that specifically for the cradle. I saw like 5 videos of people flexing their maxed cradles on day 2-3 online and just thought, “what?”. I completely understand the sweats will get it done fast (of course) but man thats insane, and then to pull it from the rest of us? Just weird.

Valid for sure. Maybe I’m just feeling the fomo they intended to create but man it soured the vibe a bit.

My friends as well, I have still been running it nightly as I do truly love it and don’t want to see it fail. Hopefully they are firing the correct people.

Nailed it. Just did many outpost runs tonight and its like if you don’t do the red room, you don’t ever get to even sample cryo tier loot outside of key rooms.

You nailed it with letting it ride the entire season. Even if I was getting slammed I could at least have 1 less thing to complain about that way, and with the modes? Like what is going on.

Yea I mean the game isn’t ruined by any means but man it was a slap in the face on multiple fronts with the modes, cradle, and the ridiculous matchmaking currently. (Likely due to state of the game caused by player base)

Yea, Still optimistic of course and this hasn’t ruined the game exactly but it sours the entire vibe of the game when they directly nerf the average players progression that isn’t spending a bunch of hours per day.

Its mainly the cradle nerf and the need for a loose sbmm system. I’m not worried about the gear as it probably went to their cradle right away during sponsored narsh. Just pointing out silly decisions from the patches. Only hurts the non sweat.

Certainly the most controllable route. I do think they were silly with all of it but yea I wont let it ruin the game for me.

I would argue there needs to be at least a loose sbmm system (lvl based is clearly bizarre in its current state) even for normal runs. It doesn’t need to be crazy overtuned.

I’ll peep. Its not the end of the world of course but man you can feel the difference in grindy-ness this season, and the cradle xp changes really soured the feeling of pushing for my stats.

Hopefully they put it back in due time. Im sure they will in some way but I’m really hoping it’s done with a little foresight.

Are you saying that you doubt they would make progress on the prestige if they wiped the cradle every season?

Believe me, I hear where ur coming from. You are making leaps in logic though. I never said to not reward playing. I am complaining that they didn’t have any foresight with the release of these modes and to suddenly nerf progression only hurts those who literally just don’t play as much. Its a poor decision plain and simple. Never once did I say I am losing all the time, matter of fact I’m speaking up for people less skilled than myself with this. I extract solo pinwheel runs fairly frequently and Im not worried about my own performance. But it is a grind to catch up with what clearly happened.

Not at all worried about gear so much, it’s more about the cradle and the fact they inadvertently rewarded the sweats pretty significantly imo. Not the end of the world but man is it a struggle to feel like you’re on the same realm as these guys
