The new patch buffed Bile Titans and nerfed fixed stratagems in a big way.

[TheCrispyBarrett]

Most of this I am pretty happy about or neutral. The mech requiring direct hits I'm a bit iffy about, but only because the last "fix" to stop it from blowing itself up made it way harder to aim the missile pod, so I'm reserving my judgement on that until I try it. There is one glaring problem though. You can't stun bile titans? I really hope that's just the grenades (though even then it's still dumb), because if the EMS mortar, EMS orbital, and the eagle equivalent can't, that's a massive nerf to the strategems you said we should be relying on for big targets, and it's taking the biggest functionality from a slot already dedicated to not doing damage. 500kg bombs just got an indirect nerf as they are finicky and precise without stunning. Orbital precision strike? Forget it.

Airstrikes can harm bile titans, but once again, you have to be really precise and they are faster than they look. If a bile titan is on top of you there is now no longer a way to outrun them if their sacks are popped. I do not understand this decision. Why are you trying to make them untouchable? You hint at stronger enemies but you are actively working to make the current strongest enemy on the bug side, one that can spawn in multiples, even more difficult to deal with even when we use what you say we should. Are we supposed to just all use rail cannon and nothing else now? And how long until you nerf that too. Stunning made it viable to run whatever stratagems you wanted.

Orbital Rail Cannon then finish it off with a headshot
Or just use the mech to kill multiple titans

I know this still works, the problem is that by being able to stun them, you open them up to multiple different stratagems. If they are against having a single meta, why make it so only one stratagem is consistent thanks to removal of stuns?

Dev : We monitor how player play, we hate people that are smarter than us and can come up with different play style to beat the game easily. So we nerf or even ban it.

Because they don't know how stuff interacts in their game. It's something the spreadsheets don't tell them. They only see numbers and try to bend them to some ideal they envisioned. Then the players adapt and they do it again. Best example is the AMR buff. It's not popular but the devs have no idea why.

That is somewhat how it works. It's never easy to anticipate how things will be used by consumers. When the devs seem unintended use cases for how "they" want "their game" to be played, they will alter things to get back to what they intended.

They should pay me for playing the game than. Since they don't test their own ♥♥♥♥ and have to use player as game tester.

Probably because the sights are misaligned, the mag size is too small, and the reloads are too few. The AC does what the AMR does but better.

It's not about testing. Every piece of software you use looks at usage patterns and adjusts (not just games). Software development isn't really an exact science so there can always be consumers who find unintended use cases. Having a QA team of say 10-15 people is nothing like when hundreds of thousands of people are playing it.

Have they still not fixed the 500 kg after a month?

Man they haven't even fixed the Recoilless.

[Subsonic]

Oh, devs are bad, devs are terrible, but somehow in their ridiculousness they made one of the best games currently available and here you all are, playing it while posting foot-stomping tantrums and hyperbolic bullshittery.

/facepalm

Yeah, you guys know SO much better how all this *SHOULD* work from the comfort of your basement. Yeah. OK, edgelords. Calm down a little.

lol ugh
