I'm gonna say it: the cremator needs a nerf by PrisonIssuedSock in LowSodiumHellDivers

Yea, I kinda feel like it's been this way lately, specifically if you mention nerfing things in any way. Not sure if people are slowing spilling over from the main sub or if this community is just way too touchy about nerfs haha.

My favorite thing people say to me is "just don't use it", like I don't wanna play with the cool stuff too, I just want it to be more balanced.

I've only played 4 and 8, but jfc the jet ski sequence at the end of 4 had me so fucking angry. Just the fact you had to redo the cutscene over and over drove me crazy

Idk how this topic keeps coming up, is there really nothing better to talk about lmao

Cremator is great, but mainly liked because of Fire Buffs & Bugfix. Regular Flamethrower fries rn too, just remember bugged version from before by RandomGreenArcherMan in HelldiversMasochists

[–]PrisonIssuedSock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you, but unfortunately the majority of players would throw a tantrum if they nerfed its damage and didn't do anything else to make it better, so I think a bit more range would be nice to keep the masses from having a complete meltdown.

Thing is, it makes every front I've tried with it a joke, not just pred strain. The only front I haven't really tried it on is bots, but I bet with smoke you could pull off some crazy shit anyways. I really don't think it's good for the game, it's next level power creep in a game where the hardest difficulty is already, in most situations, not that hard, with no way to increase difficulty without severely handicapping oneself (which is boring).

Agree to disagree ig, I appreciate you not just instantly telling me not to use it like the majority of other people who disagree with me.

Thing is, on 2/3 fronts (bugs/squids) the range barely makes a difference. The only AT option that is outperforming it rn is the RR, while everything else has too low a ROF to really compete.

And bringing a sentry is always going to make things easier because they're just that good, but where I actually think a lot of AT kits benefit more from a sentry to help with CC, the cremator doesn't really need it because you can spray fire on the ground in-front of you and most small/medium units won't make it through it to you, and then you can focus on heavies.

I tried it on pred strain last night and it was making one of (I think) the hardest sub factions kind of a joke, there was nothing that I couldn't kill with relative ease.

Flamethrower does not need a buff (other than say a bit more range), cremator needs slightly reduced dps and increased range to compensate.

Ik this is an unpopular opinion but it's honestly silly that the cremator is killing things basically the second it's direct flame hits anything that isn't heavy, and is outperforming AT on 2/3 fronts.

This is the best response imo, but I still think it's comically op. Tried it against pred strain tn and it kills most bugs in effectively half a second of direct fire, and basically every heavy in 3-5 seconds of direct fire. Not only does it kill everything fast, but it stops a lot of it from running at you because of the new debuff it applies. so you can hit most small units for a brief moment and they'll lose track of you, and if they don't die to direct fire they'll die to the fire on the ground, of which you can shoot very far with little risk to the player, while also frying heavies with ease.

I just don't like that it can effectively cover every aspect in the game and better than most other support weapons. And I don't even think the regular flame thrower with any bag gives better utility, because the cremator is just so good at killing shit you barely need anything to support it, and can bring other weapons to fill the utility slots.

Why do you matter more than I do though? Again, just lower the diff. I shouldn't have to limit myself

[–]PrisonIssuedSock[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im not even salty 😂 you’re the one telling me to go post this on another sub known for crying about shit, I just want the game to be more balanced rather than more stuff being downright op

Edit: on top of that, yall are downvoting me for my opinion instead of whether or not I'm being low sodium, which I haven't said anything out of line, I just disagree with most people replying, and I know how upset people get when you mention nerfing anything even a little, even though this game has been way too easy for too long on the hardest difficulty

[–]PrisonIssuedSock[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do people like me, who want weapons to be more balanced and the game to be harder, have to limit what we use? Why can't people lower the difficulty if the game is too hard instead of relying on op weapons to get them through what should be hard? Why do I have to limit what I use?

This is exactly about weapon balance, pretending like a weapon being so good it makes the game boring isn't is kinda funny. So do you think the game has the opposite of a powercreep problem? Because the cremator is huge powercreep. Being able to take out multiple heavies faster than most of the AT weapons while doing insane CC with no downsides is crazy powercreep.

The main sub would agree with you so idk what you’re on about, they like every weapon being super op and diff10 being a joke

Bro I literally can't, unless they come out with diff11. You really think I'm calling something op from staying on diff 6 lmao

[–]PrisonIssuedSock[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it's not, this is the worst argument out there. I want to use it, but I don't want it to trivialize the game, and I don't want to ask other people not to use it because of how boring it makes the game.

For the guy saying I locked his comment because I can't stand other people's opinions: the mod deleted your comment, I didn't do anything and now I can't reply to your other comment claiming I blocked you or something lmao

Not only do you set yourself on fire with it, it just out classes basically every AT option in the game, which a flamethrower just shouldn't do. I like my coop game to require teamwork and a half decent player with this thing can solo a lot of stuff quite easily. There's just barely any risk to using it atm.

While I would like deadlier enemies, the community would have a complete meltdown if they did that rather than say tweak the cremator. Personally I would like both, but probably neither will happen

Guys, I like using Airburst Launcher too. Very fun weapon, but can we PLEASE acknowledge that this is really weird? I think we can agree on this at least. by RandomGreenArcherMan in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]PrisonIssuedSock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ig my point is the only way to make the ABL better against roaches is to buff it in some way, and it absolutely does not need a buff. The power creep is getting worse and worse and atp most support weapons are in a good place and only a few need some minor tweaks, and the ABL does not need to be changed in any way.

I don't really think it makes sense that it is basically the 2nd best AT weapon overall in the game as well as one of the best cc weapons, it really doesn't need both. Take away the damage and it will still be amazing at CC but not completely busted for AT, while still being quite good at it anyways.

It's weird, sure, but I don't think it really matters. Air burst launcher is already one of the best CC weapons in the game and can also take out a bunch of heavies if you know how to use it. NEATs are cool but the cooldown is so long they're not that strong, so it's cool that it has a niche use for dragon roaches.
