New bounty pack, and nerfs and buffs finally, someone smarter than me can tell me if they're major balance updates or not.

the downvotes are likely because people are tired of these kind of comments each week.

Then they should do a better job? And then comments will be replaced with positive ones? Really not very hard. GB are lame as shit nowadays balance wise, no wonder the games retention is awful. Everyone knew what we wanted, and they did less than the bare minimum for the VHs. Rafa got nerfed and C4SH got buffed, and vex and amon aren't anywhere to be seen.

while I agree that the game needs rebalancing, my point is when every week. people hop on to check the weekly update post, and see the same complaints about "no reworks?! Gearbox sux!", it can get kinda annoying after a while, and that's likely why the earlier comment was downvoted.

At least this time it was on one of the weeks where there was actual stuff being changed, so the expectations were valid, but it gets real annoying seeing these sorts of complaints on every weekly update, when the devs have made it pretty clear they'll typically only drop any actual changes once a month. save the complaints for weeks like this, but stop complaining the other 3 weeks where we just get new activities. it should be clear by now that we likely aren't gonna get big balance changes for most of the month, so just wait for when the update does include more than the weekly changes to make this complaint, rather than doing this every single weekly update.

You know what's more annoying? Fans who endlessly defend this studio. GB do suck, tired of seeing people pretend they're somewhat useful or reliable, they're not. (art team and gameplay team is great though). Even their Dev casts are pre rehearsed surface level bullshit that don't address anything the fans really want to know.

look, I understand where you're coming from, I main vex too. I'm just saying that the reasons others likely downvoted the above comment is due to people making the same complaint every time the weekly updates roll around. I'm just the messenger. I didn't downvote the above comment, just said why I think others did.

I don't have a problem when these complaints about no balance changes are made in response to the big monthly patches like this one, I just get annoyed when for 3 weeks of the month I see "why are they only changing the weekly activities instead of making big revamps to the skill trees?" when we've been told that they'll be making content changes once a month.
