Skystriker wingsuit nerfed...

[Excalibur11]

So I noticed when I started the game in the new update that the Skystriker Wingsuit has been either nerfed or is bugged, as it now only charges 1 boost at a time. I understand that this may be a balancing attempt, because a fully upgraded wingsuit could almost give non-stop boost.

I still think that this is unnecessary and I preferred the other way, as it gave players who were willing to grind for it a very powerful wingsuit, and it literally takes 40 stunts to be able to get it, so it isn't easy. It took me about 2.5 hours just to fully upgrade, and now that it has been nerfed it kinda feels useless. Would really appreciate it being buffed again, but it may just be me.

I doubt many people realized this but if you did please feel free to share your opinion.

I'm furious about this. Nobody asked for this. Nobody I know WANTED this. This is a single-player game, so there's no reason to "balance" this, and yet of the dozens of request for things to fix, those all got ignored in favor of this BS change.

It's just one complete fuel bar now. You can do short little boosts and it only takes a small amount of fuel instead of a complete block. It work just like JC3 now.

I still hate it. I liked it better before, and I don't understand why this was their priority for something to fix when nobody asked for it.

i've launched the game to see what changes they made to wingsuit since they've mentioned that in patchnotes and oh boy this was the last thing I was expecting, i'm mad af

[RaykuGaming]

Well if it works like jc3 then it should be fine cuz it was pretty fine in jc3 i could fly forever then. Im not sure because i havent played jc4 yet anything after the intro

[sidrat]

Where or how do you get this any way?

I definitely prefer it as it is now, before you could have a bar a hair away from charged and if you boosted you'd basically lose 2 bars instead of one. It was stupid.

It wasn't a Nerf. You can boost basically forever now and don't get penalized for using small bursts. It was an upgrade by any objectively observable measure.

No. I disagree. BEFORE, I could boost forever. I could stay boosted with only a second or two between bursts while it recharged. Now ... no. My boost is gone very quickly and then I have to wait while it slowly recharges. It's nowhere NEAR as good as before.

Fixing it so that you don't lose a whole boost after a tap? Yeah, I can see how that would be good for people who keep making that mistake. For me, I figured it out pretty quickly and stopped wasting my boost. I hate the new system with a passion. It's stupid.

They fixed the problem with small boosts but downgraded it's fuel capacity? I don't get who is making these kind of decisions at Avalanche. Hopefully this was just a mistake.

I'm fairly sure that now it has way more boost in total and you're not penalised by losing a charge when tapping boost. A couple of people are overblowing a change that makes it behave more like the bavarium wingsuit - I'll take a guess that they haven't played JC3 Sky Fortress and so have no reference.

Let me rephrase my original statement. What I mean to say is that I am unhappy with the nerf to the UPGRADED wingsuit as it now takes to long to fully recharge. I agree that the way the boost is used up is good, but I reckon the upgraded one needs to do more.

By this I mean it needs to recharge other boosts while u are using it. If we pay money for a DLC, it should provide something extra, and the upgraded wingsuit just doesn't cut it any more.

I also may be a little used to the way it was before the update.

Total boost capacity was not nerfed. With a fully upgraded wingsuit you can boost for well over 20 seconds before needing to recharge. Plus, now that you can use small bursts it's much more efficient than before.

It's better, not worse.

Wrong it's worse because it takes 30 seconds to recharge and not 3.

I've been testing the wingsuit, and I can't see how this is better. Before, I could sustain a boost, use one who bar, then boost against while that bar recharged, the boost again, and by the time I finished the third boost, I already had one full bar and most of the second bar again. If I waited a few seconds, 2nd boost would be full too. At that, I could sustain full boost across the map.

Now, if I sustain the boost until all the boost is gone, I have to wait about 30 seconds before boosting again. During that time, I will be slowing down and losing altitutde.

I can do very short bursts: burst, wait a couple seconds, burst again ... but there's hardly any speed.

No. This is definitely a NERF and a really, really bad and unnecessary nerf. I honestly can see this as positive.

I see it as a positive because I don't use the wingsuit to go across the entire map, I just fast travel if it's far away. It's much better like this for flying closer to the ground and navigating smaller areas.

But then what do I care, I stopped playing it long before this update anyway.

I was using the wingsuit looking for the last locations and the last statues.
