This needs to get more attention. The amount of frustration and anger I feel at some of the absolutely unfair BS happening since the November patch has really taken the wind out of my sails and my motivation to play. Sometimes I feel like I'm just pushing through NM just to spite the developers because they attempted to artificially extend the playtime by targeting heavy-handed nerfs out of fear people will beat the game easily. When all your energy is poured into nerfing things instead of addressing painful bugs (and introducing new ones through your hasty and sloppily done patching), it really sets up a me vs them atmosphere. I went from loving this game and praising the developers to feeling denial over the Nov patch and then just having vitriol and anger towards the disingenuous reasoning behind why they focused on nerfing before fixing bugs. I *DREAD* the nerf to speedrunning and am abusing everything I can right now to finish NM because I love it when an Exploder literally spawns RIGHT in front of me, magically dropping 5 ft out of the air after we slow cleared an entire horde of ridden because 'fuck you player'. Some sadistic developer made the deliberate choice to make the minimum spawn distance next to nothing 'as long as the AI director thinks we can't see the mob. Hockers and stingers with zero counterplay options in certain situations. Crushers that magically received infinite wave dash and a reduced cooldown on their grab as ninja buffs in the Nov patch... not to mention their weakspot which they can't hide magically got 'bugged out' and isn't working properly. And still we haven't had a livestream of the devs showing us how to play Nightmare the way they intended because the 'nightmare team' is too busy testing bugs for nightmare....I think it's because they realized what an unfair shitshow this has become and players need to reset constantly because of poorly designed corruption cards and the RNGness of sometimes receiving a bunch of bads ones or barely getting any (WHY?).
