      You have to take in to account that if they never nerfed anything, then when they release new guns and weapons, they have to be better than the already existing ones in order for people to have a reason to use them and for them to be enjoyable. And at some point they would have to make the enemies harder in order to counteract the constant increase. Because it wouldn’t be fun if the game was super easy. So nerfs are better for the overall longevity and health of the game. And it keeps things fresh.

  • @almachizit3207
    @almachizit3207 Před 23 dny +30

    With any multiplayer pve focused shooter, it's generally a better idea for the developers to focus on buffing weak weapons than it is to nerf strong weapons. Being a team-based shooter, its also good if these buffs and nerfs help define the niche for that weapon. That way, different missions should encourage different playstyles which should require and reward the use of different loadouts.
    The extreme effectiveness of the incendiary breaker for example is actually a symptom of the design of the bugs and bug missions. The issue is the incendiary breaker allows you to more or less cleanly divide the bugs into 2 categories: bile titans & chargers vs everything else. But the thing is that bile titans and chargers are dealt with by the same weapons. Combine that with the fact that you're never forced or even encouraged to engage with bug chaff enemies at range means that whatever weapon happens to best fit the incendiary breaker's current niche, and how strong that weapon happens to be, effectively dictates the difficult scaling for all bug missions.

      A good take. I often feel like they didn’t sit down and think to themselves “why is the a meta”. Instead they just see a higher usage rate then they want to forcefully bring it down. Many of these changes felt out of the blue because it didnt feel like they have a specific goal other than to stop people from using it (or it’s just very poorly communicated).

Maybe the CEO himself does have an interest in players having fun, but the execution definitely does not reflect that. I appreciate you trying to empathise with them, but they are not my friend. They are the service provider and I’m the service user.

    The nerfing didn't bother me for the most part-until the Eruptor shrapnel changed. If the dev in charge of balancing thinks the Eruptor is as effective as it was before the patch, then for the first time, I think the game is in trouble in the long run.
    At one point, I justified in my head the nerfing because it forced team loadout planning. Cool. I like that. Sucks for soloing, sure, but at least it had a purpose. But they aren't balancing for niche strengths... They seem to balance to ensure no weapon is great at doing anything. Except for a select few support weapons. It's not about meta, it's that the balancing encourages meta.
    For example, how can I justify using the arc thrower now on 7+ difficulty against the bots? The niche it served in my team was to stun multiple hulks while the big killers could mop them up. It wasn't OP at all, though, because my team would have to position itself in such a way that I didn't zap them. Also, stun-locking the hulks would leave me vulnerable to flanking... Now the hulks can't be stun-locked as effectively. And I just know I would even put money on it; once they fix the misfire bug, they are going to further nerf it. Because on paper, it is very powerful. However, because of the danger of taking out teammates and RoF, it has situational drawbacks.
    The biggest problem with all of this is that it seems like the weapon balancing is fighting the design of the game. The game wants you to be ready for anything. It doesn't tell you what you are facing during loadout. But the weapon balancing they are using forces you to have specific strategems in your team's loadout. You end up with a very small list of consistently viable loadouts... that than get nerfed because everyone is using it.
    I think AH needs to take a step back and ensure that the weapon balance and the game design match.

      I think the problem is that heavy units break the balance of the game at high difficulties.

      I think the CEO has already noted that they are looking to change this, but honestly speaking the incendiary breaker isn't overly broken, and can be maybe be balanced without removing the overall effectiveness if they just drop the direct damage down a little.
      Still able to fry swarms of smaller bugs, but more reliant on you bringing the right support weapon to handle stuff like Bile Spewers and Brood Commanders since the fire DoT is going to be doing the heavy lifting vs the smaller bugs.
      That all said I'm fine with it as it is. It's solid, but it can't deal with Chargers or Bile Titans, and struggles a bit with Spewers. It's not completely eclipsing the base breaker, which can keep up just as well and do a bit better vs the Spewers.

    Takibo, what do you think about Bile Titans requiring such a specific loadout to deal with them consistently? This is maybe my biggest gripe with bugs at the moment. It sucks to feel like I'm totally reliant on rocket-type support weapons and a handful of stratagems for bile titans. It's not really a problem in terms of difficulty, I just think it's lame that more than half the support weapons can't feasibly kill them at all, unlike the bots' heavy units. I would love to take more off-meta stuff to bug missions, like a machine gun, autocannon or grenade launcher, but I get put off by the thought of bile titan duty falling on a stratagem that sometimes feels like oneshotting, and sometimes doesn't.

    Helldivers CEO spoke about balancing recently. Didn't read/watch the details but it seems they are at least going to have discussions about realigning their approach.
    So far, Helldivers seem to nerf weapons that are too good at too many things. OR it outperforms in a way that cannabalizes other guns' niches (ex. Breaker was a better Breaker S&P than the S&P with MORE damage and stopping power).
    Breaker Incendiary's role is, I think, to be "set a group of enemies (and allies) on fire and kill with chip damage + DOT". So they may drop damage and/or stagger and force players to set things on fire and run around more. That SHOULD be possible to do without gutting the gun. With the big DOT fix done, hopefully it means more available man-hours to have nuance in their rebalancing.

    Got to finally use this shotgun yesterday and it was so nice. Finally a primary gun on the bug front since og breaker that I didn’t hate because it struck a satisfying balance between total damage and magazine size. (I hate guns that make me reloading every 10-13 shots). So of course it’s gonna be temporary.

    Have you tried out the senator/scorcher combo?

    nerfs are ok, some are just unjustified because they're misguided or based on the wrong things. Crossbow nerf was a good example of this. It completely destroyed the weapon's identity, turning a niche AoE weapon with clear drawbacks into a shitty scorcher that serves no purpose.

    Something like mastery levels on weapons could be a neat way to incentivize players to give less-meta options a try, like the way DRG implemented weapon maintenance. The meta is like 30% weapons actually being good and 70% perception of weapons being good, the hive mind is strong. Making players try other weapons would break up that perception.

    Anyway, is the video sped up a little or is there a trick to run faster? Because I sure as hell don't sprint this fast with stamina booster even in traiblazer scout.

    i'd suggest setting manual climb to double tap E if you use Space as dive. E is already for picking up and interacting with items so double tapping is easy to remember as the same button without having it conflict with other interactions. There is a potential possibility of climbing if you are panic picking up items on the floor near a ledge but that is less likely to happen than unwanted autoclimbing in my experience

    I just wanted to mention something that might’ve saved you a bit of time. Because the Radar Station was so close to the main objective, you probably could have gone to the station, initiated the process, and then went and did the main objective while the radar dish was raising so you wouldn’t need to wait for it when you went back. Just a little thing, probably wouldn’t have mattered too much.

    • @windsgrace688
      @windsgrace688 Před 23 dny

      I like the gas strike but the issue with orbitals is that the cooldowns are too long compared to the eagles and that's without taking into consideration the orbital scatter modifier and other modifiers that screw over strategems. With eagles at max ship module level, you get 3 napalm strikes with an 8-second cooldown between each use and a 120-second cooldown to rearm. That's an average cooldown of around 48 seconds per napalm airstrike and, at max module level, the orbital gas strike has a cooldown of 75 seconds between each use. If they halved (or decreased them by 40%) the cooldowns for most of the orbitals and got rid of the orbital scatter modifier, they'd be roughly on par with the eagles imo.

    I don’t know, for me bugs where alway easier as bots, but now after a while playing bots became easier, with the patrol and weapon changes, bugs even harder.
    The only issue I have is that there are not so many variations against bugs as against bots, when playing solo and I play solo most of the time.
    Especially with the „issue“ not knowing against wich bugs you are playing. Against Nursing/Bile Spewers I run a different loadout then against, the bugs he had in his mission. (Is there a way to see what enemy types you play against?)
    There’s a lack of weapons who have a good crowed control against massive bug spawns.
    The Blitzer is change was good, but lacks range and consistency.
    The sickle is great but also not playable on some planets, and in tight situations hard to pull of. (At least for me)
    The adjudicator buff was also good, but lacks of damage and mag capacity against bugs. I like it against automatons.
    The only option for me to clear Helldive difficulty against bugs consistently is the breaker incendiary.
    I’m talking from a solo perspective where you „need“ a „Jack of all Trades“ Loadout.
    I’m just hoping they don’t nerf the breaker incendiary.
