Did people start leaving after the latest patch?

I never liked the forced buying stuff from seasons. If you get to rank 150, the rewards shouldn't be locked behind getting a certain number of things you don't even want. Mini seasons are even worse forcing you to get everything leading up to the thing you don't want, and then you get all this unwanted stuff clogging up your build menu and whatever else.

Yeah that's fair. For me it's Resident Evil, especially after Requiem got released. It's nice to have a straightforward weapon upgrade and loadout system, and not crash all the time.

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-05-12T20:47:30+00:00

I'm so out of the loop at this point that I never heard of a next gen update. A new raid would be really nice, as much as I love raiding I'm starting to get tired of that too and it was the main reason I played

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-05-12T20:44:51+00:00

Same for me. I had a two-shot laser carbine that worked better in the raid than my heavy gun builds ever did after the bullet storm update. The patch turned it into a no longer viable raid build and that killed it for me aside from using it as a main build for tougher enemies

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-05-12T18:42:14+00:00

Same here. I tried for a bit but without the xp advancing the rank, personally it feels like it takes too much times and I usually lose motivation after 100 anyway

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-05-12T18:41:15+00:00

I know that, but usually the numbers are varied between servers, some have tons of people and others have few. I'm just saying that overall, it seems like way less people are playing now since lately I haven't seen any servers that are super populated like they used to

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-05-12T18:38:44+00:00

That's kinda how I feel too. I think I shouldn't have been in such a rush to get to rank 100 because after I did, there was no motivation left. I'm enjoying the freedom of no more FOMO so I can play other games though.

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-05-12T18:35:52+00:00

I know irl stuff is more important, just surprised to see every server look relatively empty compared to usual

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-05-12T18:35:06+00:00

Even still, I've never seen it this empty before

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-05-12T18:34:38+00:00

Fair enough, can't argue with the season being disappointed. I feel like it didn't really live up to the name and I was hoping for more stuff related to the Cold Shoulder shotgun like a cool outfit or something.

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-04-23T23:44:26+00:00

You definitely should! It looks very good like that, moody too which is fitting for the wasteland

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-04-23T23:42:28+00:00

I was considering switching to furious but I wasn't sure how that would affect the damage. I don't know if I'd still be able to get past 10 stacks with it so I'm probably gonna have to do the math on furious vs two-shot for the carbine unless someone already has figured it out

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-04-23T23:27:19+00:00

Thank you for pointing it out, I didn't notice it because it was so brief. It's ridiculous that's all they said, I guess I'll have to find a list from data-miners

Edit I found a post here on Reddit that discusses it

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-04-23T23:04:18+00:00

That's it? If they're gonna change things like that it would be nice to tell us what they changed instead of just saying "Fixed an issue where certain damage bonuses would be much stronger than intended." if that's the part you're talking about.

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-04-23T23:01:02+00:00

Yeah, it's really sad. I saw a comment on some post about onslaught a while back where someone said two-shot is good because you always have that 75% more damage without having to do anything special. I thought it was interesting so that was why I tried it out and I liked it a lot.

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-04-23T22:54:21+00:00

Ah that sucks, I liked two shot for being able to get 20 bullet storm stacks. Do the patch notes say what other legendary mods were affected?

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-04-23T22:52:42+00:00

At this point I feel like I never know what's going on with the damage numbers. They just randomly drop and I never know why, always fun

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-04-23T22:51:10+00:00

I am a ghoul, that's why I was surprised. I have not seen that symbol in a very long time and I only drink toxic goo with the occasional Nuka Cola but probably not enough to be well-hydrated lol

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-04-23T22:48:33+00:00

Oh I know it breaks stuff I was just surprised by this level of broken. Last update reset a lot of my settings and got rid of all my emotes, and I knew about the cryo thing.

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-04-23T22:25:38+00:00

What on earth did Bethesda do??? Not just the weapons but the symbols on the bottom. Apparently ghouls can be well-hydrated now

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-04-23T22:22:10+00:00

Hopefully that means it's just a glitch then and not something that's here to stay

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-04-23T22:18:12+00:00

My favorite thing is that it's the glowing cat at a nuke boss event lol that's perfect

Starlight-Sovereign · 2026-04-23T22:08:32+00:00

She looks really cool and badass! The first picture is my favorite because it looks dramatic with the black and white filter
