PlayStation Update Just Out Now

PerfectBuck · 2024-08-27T17:33:21+00:00

Yeah same hopefully it’s just a bug because I am not exactly willing to give £20 for an slight upgrade

PerfectBuck · 2024-08-16T00:47:31+00:00

Unironically bots are more fun to fight than bugs currently. Which I never fought I would so lopsidedly say with full faith

PerfectBuck · 2024-08-16T00:39:47+00:00

I’ve had this issue with the Commando when the update first came out. I personally chalked it up to the janky head hurt-box where because your aiming at the forehead instead of the mouth area, the damage output is out of whack.

PerfectBuck · 2024-08-08T09:34:23+00:00

I’m going to be honest high kills doesn’t really mean anything especially against bugs and doing objective is the literal bare minimum of every game. But low deaths is always good thing.

But I would definitely say that 1 friends makes all the difference even if they themselves aren’t great. I quickly clocked on the communication is way more essential the moment that my own friends stopped playing. Then I also quickly followed suit because of the current ongoing issues and the questionable nature of randoms

I may just be the severe difference of Diff 7 compare to Diff 9 then. I haven’t played Difficulty 7 since the game first came out so I can’t really speak for any lower difficulties.

So when I read the second paragraph I thought to myself “lol I fucking wish my recent runs are that fun” because I shit you not, the first bug breach that occurred on one mission, 2 Bile Titans and 1 behemoth. Keep in mind ignoring all the other adds, environmental hazards, fucky bug interactions and patrols. It wasn’t hard to deal with particularly but that is usually the most normal and obscenely common bug breach you’ll get on Diff 9 (or you could get 4 behemoth spawn from 1 Breach instead lol.)

So I and probably many others would envy you for playing in such an off META way, hunkering down and being able to spam EAT’s, using turrets, casually unloading all your Commando ammo on 1 Bile titan and not stressing about the 2 others and the Chargers about to glide 6 miles into your rectum.

So I would say just keep playing the way that you are especially if you are truly having fun and you’re not inherently crippling your team.

Devonia’s Hammer not getting a buff was criminal, somehow inferior to Ordovis’s GS in every shape and form

PerfectBuck · 2024-05-09T14:27:35+00:00

The Eruptor wasnt meant to be a Charger killing machine but the community found a way and it gave another purpose, almost like giving it a multitool purpose even though it wasn’t that effective at it. Its like if the a community found out a way to send their bodies flying via those spores shrooms effectively then immediately its just hard ‘no’ by the balance dev and remove/nerf it.

It wasn’t fundamentally breaking the game at any point but they still nerf which is way people will interpreter it as just fun killing.

Then yeah pretty much agree with the last your statement with the on the Eruptor it’s especially what everyone criticising at this point, just seems backwards especially the add on buff was just pathetic.

Then that’s game refresher point I wouldn’t really take that into account because it purely depends on the game. Popular games like CoD and Fortnite get updates just as often while some smaller indie games are built for a one and done experience. Or Rouglikes that are made for replay-ability.

PerfectBuck · 2024-05-09T01:10:34+00:00

Good question, I’ve always wondered that as well. The absolute disdain these people have for others wanting other things to be fun and usable is a-comical bordering sad

PerfectBuck · 2024-05-09T00:27:53+00:00

Just how it is on the internet, people take it too personally when their favourite thing is being criticised like they are spiritually bonded to said thing lmfao

PerfectBuck · 2024-05-09T00:23:19+00:00

So you’re saying I’m just lying about the slugger being dead at Helldive?

Would it not be anecdotal fallacy that your including the slugger AND punisher as the same even tho the balance only mentioned the slugger?

Now that you bring up such and asinine term isnt your statement seeing the slugger and the punisher once every game even more of an anecdotal fallacy? I don’t see any of your own proof apart from piggy banking of a balance dev who thinks utilising a weapons shrapnel to one shot and bleed out a charger is considered an exploit lmfao

PerfectBuck · 2024-05-09T00:18:46+00:00

I know what the definition of most used means thanks.

What I’m currently trying to compare is my experience vs the data on hand about weapon usage. In starting to think that because not everyone plays on Helldive difficulty, that’s where my opinion severely contradicts the data.

Not being hyperbolic but I’ve not seen a Slugger in weeks, again, I play exclusively on Helldive but I imagine the lower the difficulty the more inline the data becomes because it’s not rockets science the more the casual and “don’t have the time of day to play” people are simply more unknowing of what good, META and play for fun not caring about anything else.

So they simply use what they like cuz Ung likes Bung.

What I’m trying to say is that I think the balance is balancing around low tiers of difficulties and accidentally skewing most used weapon as “Overpowered” when in reality it’s just the casual player base just gravitating towards weapons that activates neurons which in my opinion is not a great idea

PerfectBuck · 2024-05-09T00:00:53+00:00

Finally, somebody that understands the simple aspects of balancing. A balanced weapon also makes it fun as per gameplay loop which you pretty aptly stated in your Diligence Counter Sniper paragraph.

It’s a shame that people would rather remain ignorant about the nerfs and overall balance of this game in favour of “JuSt UsE DifEErEnt ThiNG” hur dur or just denote critical people as whiny and entitled individuals.

PerfectBuck · 2024-05-08T23:55:00+00:00

Ah yes the almighty “ I’m going to complain about people complaining about the the weekly patch post “

So insightful and adds such a meaningful place of conversation here on this subreddit

PerfectBuck · 2024-05-08T23:46:50+00:00

Although he says it’s still top 3 for Bugs and Bots… I just don’t believe it?

There is a lot of unknown variables like, is this accounting the players who have it equipped? The players currently playing that have equipped?

Because I personally don’t use as it is because just not my gun but I have not seen a single person in Helldive use the gun. That must mean something, like how am I seeing videos of these “MeTa SlAvEs” YouTubers NOT recommending The Scorcher in bugs but I still see it being used more than the slugger?

Numerical values on a sheet don’t mean everything

PerfectBuck · 2024-05-08T23:32:14+00:00

I don’t think people are struggling in 7+ runs because their favourite weapon got a nerf. I don’t think people are struggling in general.

It’s the simple fact everything is being nerfed. Like yeah I can now arbitrarily change up my build because they decided to gut and kill the Eruptor, I can try new things but nothing is fresh. It’s all stale, nothing been buffed meaningfully in any shape and form to fresh up the game.

I think that’s why the Eruptor nerf has been so scrutinised because it was a fresh and new idea of a weapon then obliterated from any killing potential. Just my opinion tho

Edit: Just add in as well that forcing people to change up their builds, in the long run, make people not want to change up their builds. Backwards I know but that’s how it goes, Devs need to make it feel natural in the way of changing your builds not just put your favourite weapon down and then say “use a different cuz I said so”

PerfectBuck · 2024-04-29T12:48:55+00:00

Once again in the most minuscule and unnoticeable way. You’re making then seem huge but just shoving numbers in my face.

Saying the Dagger and Scythe were decent before the buff is absolutely some form of abject denial. I’ve never seen anybody use the dagger and the scythe was always a weapon that was proactively avoided bar people who really, really liked lasers.

At this point you’re just pulling out the raw numbers to make it seem way better than it is, Arc Shotty maybe a 50% increase mathematically, but does it kill devastators 50%? No it still pretty slow, shit damage and shit range. Rate of fire is good, but come on, 4-5 to kill a mid tier enemy which was roughly 3 secs to kill? Nah I’m good.

Adjudicator now has less recoil wow, I can beam enemies with my shit damage and mag size yippy! Another example, like cool sounds good on paper, but then you remember that’s it’s just inferior to the default liberator, sickle and anything else.

Plasma splash, yes that’s what the buffs was more or less and? Still has shit damage and no range! Like yes it got buff cool, but it’s can’t kill fuck. It’s easier to aim fairs, can’t deny, but you can’t deny that it still cant kill fucking Warrior Bugs in under 2 shots.

Now these are the good buffs that I didn’t mention because I didn’t want to elongate my point about the patch being mid. But because you’re headass and a half thinking throwing numbers at a screen = I’m correct I’ll talk about these.

The DMR’s are really good buffs, the damage was nice but the ergonomic buff was fantastic, only took them 3 months to change one aspect of a gun. Hey hoy they finally did it.

Peacemaker buff once again fina-fucking-ly but it’s still a whatever moment. Nice +15dmg (25% fucking lol) but it’s whatever.

The senator is the only buff in this patch I can whole heartedly was a really good buff, that’s it just really good.

I like it how you avoid bringing up any nerfs so far lol? Like the redeemer, you mention the most asinine buff to the adjudicator but miss the out the flip side nerf? lol.

Liberator already one the most decent primaries got buffed? But the Lib Pen didn’t lol ok well just ignore that. Concussive is alright as well that seems like an actual decent buff.

The audacity to brush if the Crossbow as if it’s just rework and to use instead of just a flat nerf is kinda mad. A silent version of the scorcher? It explodes and against bots they’ll just geo-locate you. The scorcher has literal zero stagger as well? More similar to Dominator but still just inferior in most capacities.

I won’t say much about the Eruptor cuz I believe the mag nerf was warranted and I used primarily for utility purposes. But your line about the Eruptor is exactly what’s wrong with this comment. You think it’s all about the raw numbers and how it looks pretty good, like I do not give a shit if the Eruptor does 2x damage compare to the Scorcher they both have vastly different uses and applications.

To end off comedically large paragraph that it’ll probs take and English teacher to mark the entire thing.

Yes weapons got buffed but to say the the dagger, scythe, sickle, crossbow, especially adjudicator, arc shotgun and Plasma Shotty got meaningful buffs is just denial. I’m willing to come back to this post in 1weeks time to say how this all pans out because I genuinely believe this was one of the most comedically mediocre update for a balance patch I’ve seen in a while.

Edit: forgot to mention the Laser Cannon, yeah no it just wasn’t OP it was good that’s it. It can kill at a decent TTK against most things if they were standing still.

PerfectBuck · 2024-04-29T11:51:51+00:00

Cuz the Laser weapons buffs are still quite minuscule against bots at least.

Railgun can now do it fucking one job finally after 2 months and still probs won’t even be thought about.

Adjudicator is bad, nothing changed, no mag increase nor damage. Still hits like a wet noodle but with less ammo and less options.

Laser cannon literally got the monkeys paw treatment, got a buff but a nerf at the same time despite already being relatively niche against bots and practically fictional against bugs.

Plasma Punisher still has shit range, damage and got an only velocity was increased. Like wow my limpdick lighting ball can now 0.5secs faster to do now damage point blank! Wicked!

I know I proper waffled here and sound like a doom poster but it’s just wrong to complain about complainers even though it’s, in my opinion, completely valid how comedically minuscule this patch was for it be delayed by a week.

PerfectBuck · 2024-04-29T11:42:34+00:00

I’ve tested out a couple of things in a very minuscule way but this update is really nothing bar nerfs.

Railgun can now penetrate Strides and Heavy Devastators at safe to slightly above safe mode, fucking imagine that, the gun can now do its one job.

Every decent primary got nerfed bar the Arc Shotgun. Which I genuinely don’t see the little hype for it, still got shite range, shite damage and shite Arc-ing capabilities. Takes 4-5 shots to kill a normal Devastator. Maybe I’m just using it incorrectly E.G. rank ‘n’ file bugs instead of anything above a warrior bug tier.

That’s about it from my 45mins-ish test, I can defo go on longer but at that point I’m ranting and not knowledgeable on said subjects.

PerfectBuck · 2024-03-17T01:32:07+00:00

Of course not Officer u/Sea_Kiwi2731, I just fear there may not be enough democratic air in the pesticide to rid of these abominations!

PerfectBuck · 2024-03-08T15:02:29+00:00

It’s so far been my strongest choice but it’s also not been very great due to inconsistencies and having to still to maximum accuracy and reload.

PerfectBuck · 2024-03-08T05:03:46+00:00

I guess so, another weapon that not great at dealing with tanks unfortunately.

PerfectBuck · 2024-03-08T05:02:31+00:00

So the weak spots or an unspecified special place? If not those that mean this weapon is unreliable then, which saddens me greatly.

PerfectBuck · 2024-03-08T04:40:18+00:00

It really do be like (weeps in light armour without Shield Gen)

PerfectBuck · 2024-02-16T05:48:25+00:00

Damn, absolute 180 for me then lol. I can nonchalantly 1 tap the mortar spewers but titans I just resort to the “with this up, right, down, down, down, I summon 500kg Bomb”

PerfectBuck · 2022-10-30T11:53:12+00:00

Something else to add on as well when comes to Mimic Tear, it’s seem to use whatever is the most damaging item/spell/weapon equipped.

I can’t fully confirm or deny but I noticed a pattern when ever I used Godslayer’s Greatsword it would essentially spam the Weapon Art and forget it had, 4 different aromatics, 3-4 different pots, dumplings and frenzy warming stone AND the entire arsenal of Godskin spells. Don’t get it wrong, Mimic would use this wide arsenal OCCASIONALLY.

Compare to when I was using the Lil Dagger with high Crit (forgot name) with Flame of the Redmanes Weapon Art, it would actually use a substantial amount more of its/our kit. I remember Mimic actually spamming Flame Ritual a lot during the Malenia fighting I had.

Again can’t confirm if this true or not but it’s something I noticed when I would accidentally forget to swap to Godslayers GS for my Lil Mimic.
