V50 is a Terrible Update.

[スービ]

Is this an out-of-season April Fool's joke?

That's it, really. I enjoy (kinda) the new moon and the Nutcracker cheese needed to be patched, but this developer has WAY more important things to be working on than fine-tuning the shovel or making an already obnoxious enemy more obnoxious.
Many of these changes were completely arbitrary:

SHOVELS WEIGH DOUBLE: Why? Why would you increase the weight of the shovel, making it less likely to be used (like almost all of the items in the game) and ruin the muscle memory of the people who learned kiting patterns of enemies? The game is already really annoying in certain aspects, and this update just made the combat even worse and clunkier.

SLOPES: Revert the slope changes. Movement feels so awful on them now, especially on the new map.

NO MORE CROUCH-RUNNING: All this did was remove a fun tech from intermediate-->advanced players and reduce QoL. Now moving from point A to point B is much slower and less exciting.

KILL GIANTS WITH 20 SHOVEL HITS: Nobody is going to realistically do this for any practical purpose.

There are tons of good ideas and mods for this game that are truly fun, yet the dev decided to screw over the playerbase instead with these dumb changes instead of fixing the issues at hand. The only good thing in this update is the new moon (which still needs work) and the outfits.
Stop roleplaying as a Blizzard Employee and changing number stats for the hell of it and LISTEN TO YOUR PLAYERBASE!

Totally valid review of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ update.

shovel was rightfully nerfed, you could circle strafe every enemy in the game and there was 0 risk, it's not even that big of a change but hopefully now you can't just cheese every bracken encounter.

as for the giants, you're thinking about it wrong. he simply gave them an hp value so other enemies and hazards could take them out!

slope movement is awful but that's about the only thing i agree with

[Blanky]

the giant thing.. just get a guy with the stun gun.. other 3 with shovels and spam till it dies.. bruh u r not supposed to 1v1 the giants.. i think?

The only people who could 'circle strafe' every enemy were losers who only play this specific game and nothing else. For all casual players, this is a massive L for weapons and a massive W for weapon mod makers.

believe it or not some people like playing together as a team, using stun grenades or other tools to take enemies out. casual players still have those options but after the "nerf" 1 player can't trivialize the entire game as easily anymore. and don't pretend like it wasn't an easy thing to pull off lol every i know could do it with their eyes closed and they barely play.

Not "everyone" can do it, and making such a blanket generalisation proves your argument weak. Most of this game's players aren't supersweats like you and your clique; rather, we prefer to just hang out with our friends without having to coordinate every little detail like competitive Overwatch.

you're acting like you can't just hold S against most mobs in the game? the only enemy that required kiting was bracken and hoarding bug ffs lmao. but sure i'm the supersweat even though i don't even bring a shovel

Bro, stop crying. Shovels are heavy. Slopes are realistic. Crouch-running was cheesy garbage, if I modded a game and you spammed that I would ban you to not intoxicate the community with your "meta". Giants getting hit for 20 times makes sense, maybe 18 would have been enough. Sure, there's constructive criticism to make, fine tunning & ♥♥♥♥, but you're not just crying.

Just stop crying bruv. The game got even better.

And people wonder why nobody takes steam forums seriously. Such high quality discussions.

Dude are you complaining about the update thinking there is only one new moon? did you do zero googling before coming to the forums to complain about the game?

Its 3 new moons Embrion, Adamance, and Artiface (2 of them are not listed on the moons menu)
2 new enemies
reworked dine surface

[DoctorKoshka]

Who cares, I still have great fun laughs with friends and have a little challenge on the new maps

[Awemanbro1]

its a solo game dev, relax man.

And they hated him because he told the truth.
