Rocket Launcher Nerf

[🦊Λℚ𝓤ΛƑΛᗯҜᔕ🦊]

I'm honestly shocked everyone is silent and just letting this happen.

Are we seriously going to just sit by and be quiet while they take away our hard-earned blueprints just *poof* for no reason because they decided they wanted to?

Some of us spent months with friends farming the difficult caves and loot drops in PVE to get a 428% rocket launcher blueprint for boss farming.

And now suddenly *poof* gone, all that work, for nothing. *sigh*

So basically the devs are essentially telling us "Don't bother farming for blueprints, we'll just remove them later anyway." So yeah, don't ever bother farming for anything. Caves are pointless now. Who knows what they'll nerf next. Probably metal axe blueprints, surely those are useless too. Who needs to gather resources faster. Not us players.

Don't forget that this was a **REBALANCE** on explosives. Logically, there's no reason for a rocket launcher to have damage. I lost several 700%+ launchers, but I'm kind of glad. We were cheesing the dragon on hard for 50k hp PER SHOT. This had to be done to preserve the difficulty of the bosses

Rocket launchers that were 700% dam were horribly broken and needed to be nerfed. Now that being said do i think it was necessary make every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ launcher a prim???

NO

[Sowot]

lol and then to think we just repared a load of ascendant rocketlaunchers just to see them get primitive the next day .

Rockets still have no business being ascendant... I'm still seeing durability from drops, so maybe they're keeping that for us. 1 shotting metal pillars at 450% isn't right

At least it's the only thing normal PVE players have to combat wild giga's short of tek tier nonsense.

The -ONLY- logical reason they would change rocket launchers is like the above poster said to try and make boss fights harder. Which we were -FINE- for nearly 3 years and no one complained before. Then suddenly now that we get tek items from bosses, they have to re-balance rocket launchers. Like WTF, why didn't they see this as a problem 3 years ago? Why now?

I welcome the change. Don't care about the blueprints that are now useless, things change.

translation: you aren't negatively affected by the change, lol.

[Fate (-{SoH}-)]

The reason most dont care is they have hit the stage with dinos or other weapons that made the rocket launcher seem exceedingly expensive.

The bosses have been made alot harder with exploits not working and hard caps on damage and armor for items but that all makes sense to fix.

Tho dont ask me how ur ment to beat hard dragon now cause i seriously dont know on officals.

I can see the reasoning for official pve and pvp servers. That being said, they should have at least added in a console command for those who play on unofficial servers. There is a reason why people play on them after all.

Except I am, I just don't care. The game is far too easy as it is without tweaking it.

[The Pretty Good Jaggi]

The reason they did that is because tons of people were abusing their blueprints against every new player they found. Basically, they had to restart every day because people took 400% pikes, 250% launchers, etc and blew every non-stone/metal structure to kingdom come. Newbies couldn't progress because of those blueprints, and I'm glad they nerfed them. It's kind of like those annunaki 50x servers, where every non-metal base gets wiped by an OP megapithecus tame 4 or less hours after the builder logs off.

That wouldn't be fun at all, would it?
