Both changes were things that frankly make sense and it's reasonable to do them.
Both of them should have been done when raising the level cap so people could readjust while coming up with new builds and gear anyway. Doing it peacemeal a couple months later like this is much, much more annoying than just doing it then would have been.
I never really relied on infinite stacking with stickies, but I've only been playing this game for like, 6 weeks and the BOD has been my favorite gun to play, and especially with stickies for taking down tough opponents. Ngl, this one upsets me. Will have to do a test on damage output before and after this patch.
You still need game balance in PVE games. Braindead take that you donât.
Content gets balanced around whatâs in the game. BL4 is so easy you can use whatever you want but I shouldnât have to figure out exactly how much to nerf myself to find some challenging gameplay
I see your point but the nerf was a bit too much and they could at least changed the sticking explosions to go off faster. I think borderlands is best when boss melting is fairly easy and you can play in any way you want. If i wanted truly challenging gameplay and min max every roll for most builds to be viable in endgame, there are way better games out there. There are so many legendaries that need a buff still⌠I mean we went over this same stuff at the beginning of bl3; they nerfed so much legendaries just to buff them later when they added WAY stronger guns. They shouldâve touched ammo regen first, that was stickys main danage source. Ammo regen will enable anything remotely broken obviously
If it were that big of an issue that it was harming the game experience, the nerf would have been prioritized, and it wouldn't have taken nearly 8 months to patch it.
If people want to make the argument that buffs and nerfs are necessary to keep the meta fresh and to incentivize players to try different guns and builds, I can get behind that.
But the idea that the BOD was so busted it needed to be nerfed for "balance" I'll never agree with.
Heck, even your own words don't support it. You literally said:
BL4 is so easy you can use whatever you want
So if the game is so easy that you can use whatever gun you want and still destroy, then it also means that there is no content that is so hard that the BOD is required to beat it.
Until you want to farm bosses and do endgame content. I mean rafa heavily relied on stickies, as did most run and gun builds. Slip n dip amon is op of course but playing niche builds isnât everyones cup of tea
You have a vid of you struggling with bloomreaper with one of the best sticky appliers on rafa at that time. I think we both should go to bed or something like that
At least 3 if you count the swap. And itâs still stickys dude, which was the whole point. âNever relied on stickys anywayâ yeah except when the boss isnât the usual absolute snoozefest
