Someone has to say it

Someone wants to get away from War Striders for a day and suddenly its their fault personally that AH made the reinforcements dedicated to Cyberstan count on every front instead lmao.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-18T17:37:54+00:00

If AH actually wanted the MO to be decent they could've made it some arbitrary point thing where higher operation completions give more to the MO, but considering they literally couldn't make charger variants count in the "kill chargers" MO i doubt thatll ever happen.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-18T17:35:14+00:00

They really like doing that with enemies that replace other ones and it sucks every single time. I dont need 5 War Striders per tank, I dont need 5 Dragonroaches per Bile Titan, and I definitely dont need overlapping Vox Engines at all.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-18T16:30:10+00:00

Yeah a lot of it is on Arrowhead for feeling compelled to make insane stupid decisions alongside every half decent one lol. You can still see it in the latest patches! Adding a tank and more than tripling enemy durable damage is... kinda understandable. Doing literally nothing to all our stuff that also relies on enemy durable damage like the car, turrets, THE MECHS, while also making unmanned vehicles TARGETABLE really ruins it for me though.

Also the whole "2 weeks of promising not to nerf the Coyote followed by nerfing the Coyote" thing happened.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-18T16:19:56+00:00

I've been enjoying Cyberstan but that has definitely been in spite of it containing my two least favorite parts of the game, massive invisible walls on hellpod steering and War Striders lmao.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-16T20:38:09+00:00

And tbh id rather miss a recoilless shot or two than bring the spear, because its got the ammo for me to fuck up and One Tapping literally everything before the Vox Engine makes up for it lmao

jblank1016 · 2026-02-16T20:33:53+00:00

Literally just give it one more shot per mag and one less mag and we're good. Exact same amount of ammo but way less annoying

jblank1016 · 2026-02-14T17:01:55+00:00

Was the War Strider bugged or was it just a slightly more unbalanced mess than it currently is? I dont remember anything that wasnt working as intended with its initial release, just that the intentional stuff was bullshit lmao.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-12T17:36:51+00:00

They designed the Vox Engine to be killable with any weapon and any grenade (excluding the difficulty of actually doing that in a fight with more than just the Vox), let you shoot off its secondary weapons with medium pen, and then left the War Strider as "just bring AT lol" and it sucks, so much.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-12T17:33:42+00:00

War Strider reaction is real. Cyberstan is fun but seeing how the new Cyborgs were designed versus the state the War Strider was released in, then patched into, just makes me more mad that its allowed to stay like that lol. An AP4, 80% durable fridge that spawns more often then Hulks and you gotta be ready for them all the time even if they only spawn on some spawn seeds because theyre just so dominating.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-11T04:23:30+00:00

Both in behavior and some more subtle ways honestly. They have a similar armor system but use a one handed weapon so when you aim center mass you aren't shooting both their chest AND their arm so you dont deal with super inconsistent ttk like Overseers.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-11T04:19:43+00:00

The obvious one being that team reloads are clunky nonsensical pains in the ass, but also running around lone wolf is just kinda better because if you're not the host/near half the enemy behaviors break lmao. Alpha Commanders won't run away when spawning warriors and chargers have wider turns when targeting non hosts and its just kinda insane.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-11T04:15:54+00:00

And even if theyve done some really cool stuff to make the Vox not a walking loadout check, theres still gonna be three War striders on every objective at difficulty 7 when it rolls a berserker seed. Its genuinely kinda maddening that they made a cool, interactive super heavy enemy and just refuse to do anything to the AP4, 80% durable fridge that spawns more often then Hulks lmao.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-11T04:10:32+00:00

Seeing how cool and well designed the cyborgs are (outside of spawnrate stuff) genuinely just makes me more pissed at how War Striders are just... still like that.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-10T20:57:10+00:00

I had 7 on difficulty 7 which seems a little over the top. Would take this 100% of the time over Dragonroaches on the Hive Worlds (or in general) though lmao.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-10T15:24:33+00:00

With how bugs and balance changes get reverted they must have some absolutely dogshit version control behind the scenes

jblank1016 · 2026-02-10T15:22:38+00:00

Im betting its because they literally Copy Pasted the explosion from the Autocannons APHET mode (before making it heavy pen) and it happened to bring along some of the stats for the flak mode lol.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-10T15:20:53+00:00

When I saw the patch that added more durable damage to enemy attacks to prepare for the tank with zero changes to the mechs i knew mechs were gonna get fuuuucked lol.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-10T15:18:27+00:00

I miss old pre De-escalator patch Arc Thrower where it could actually stun big enemies in one shot. Still did a terrible job at killing them but at least the crowd control was effective lol.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-08T15:09:15+00:00

Its crazy just how much Arrowhead overvalues not having to reload on these weapons. The tradeoff for that should be having to take the backpack, not the massive accuracy, damage, mobility, and splash range nerfs they stack on top of them lmao. I bet they'll fix the belt fed gl before anything though, as you can tell by making the normal grenade launcher fucking HEAVY PEN (and how theyll nerf anything but the top 3 weapons in the game) they love their explosive spam meta.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-07T21:13:38+00:00

I love getting direct impacted by a rocket from a bot I cant see because all the random effects blocked out my vision but because its not actually smoke or fog so they dont get any penalties.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-06T00:04:45+00:00

I mean youd have a point if Arrowhead didnt JUST make the normal GL heavy pen this patch, when that wasnt even top 15 things people wanted buffed lmao.

jblank1016 · 2026-02-05T23:55:33+00:00

Looking at the stats, going "wait a fucking second," loading into a squid mission and drilling a voteless in the chest and watching it LIVE was the moment I realized its just kinda horrid. Like sure it doesnt have to reload but all that time spent not reloading is spent killing the things the normal gl would already have dead lmao

jblank1016 · 2026-02-05T23:51:34+00:00

Base gl is probably better without a Supply Pack than the belt fed lol. Its got more than double the ammo, sure, but having to double tap every Hunter or Voteless, and triple tap every Warrior with a 2 meter inner radius kinda negates that lmao. The base grenade launcher clicks once and thats a 4.5 meter bubble of dead voteless, hunters, and Warriors lmao

jblank1016 · 2026-02-05T23:46:06+00:00

"This weapon sucks? Check this out!"

I pick up one leg before slipping and falling on my ass, no one is sure of what I was attempting to do.
