The nerfs don't bother me at all, and I like all the things they added.

It seems clear to me though that they need some sort of community beta testing group to vet their changes, and they need to space those changes out better.

The flamethrower nerf is what people are actually mad about, and that ruined a huge release of new enemies and then also the release of the new war bond with fire weapons.

Those all should have been released one a week or something to keep momentum up.

They mentioned they might be making community testing servers. I think that would make all the difference.

It also doesn't help that they apparently test on level 5 and a lot of us are playing 6-10.

The flamethrower is still bonkers good, even against chargers. The community (really just the main subreddit) is just toxic af, reactive, misinformed, and educated only by what someone else on YT or Twitch tells them.

The takes over there have me legitimately questioning if any of them actually play the game and at what difficulty.

I do agree that the main sub on Reddit is pretty toxic.

It’s okay to be upset, but I think people want to be upset about something, and have been stewing in this too much that they’ve least perspective that this is v a small studio game they paid half the price of a AAA for.
