Quasar nerf was necessary

[GONDAL]

This thing completely overshadowed every anti tank and had infinite ammo.

The way I see it was intended, it was supposed to be a sniper where it would need to hang back at long range in order to fulfill its cooldown. The increased 5 second cooldown makes it feel more distinct in this role relative to the other AT options and therefor unique.

Hopefully, with the change, we can see some more diverse and interesting loadouts in the lobbies

cool now we have nothing useful or fun to use yay

but I think the nerf is still kinda bad. the +5s should have been on hot planets not just everywhere

I think the best way to nerf it is to give it a backpack and the backpack gives the old fire rate whilst no backpack is +5 seconds. But this current nerf is still fine, at least for me.

Back to EAT we go, like every patch.

One use rocket launcher stratagem.

Nah. Nerfing in a game where you are OVERWHELMED all the time [at 6+ levels] is not fun. Killing bugs and bots is fun. Not killing them is not fun.

ok I make it simpler:

Killing enemies, seeing them fall apart - winning = fun
being overwhelmed all the time and surviving = not fun

At this moment I am taking a long break from the game. 58 levels is enough.

Isn't it the recharge time that was increased? Not the charge up.

Yet nobody talking about Sickle being nerfed to hell.

"Hopefully, once we break player's hands, he will start using his feet and mouth more" kinda logic

Driven to try
You mean "forced back to"
I'm picking up what you're putting down.
Back to EAT's 24/7 it is.

Yeah, this is sadly the result.
Quasar had replaced the EAT for me for a while.
Back to EAT's as the only truly viable drop.

Sickle is my primary weapon, this was a fine change. I've literally NEVER run out of sickle ammo, and I've run with it A LOT. Now its something I have to take into consideration, which is fine.

It was absolutely necessary
If only two people had this weapon in team, let alone all 4, you could just zip thru elites, ships like knife and butter
