There are a lot of threads out there already on the new changes, but I wanted to give a central location to point everyone to when they ask me where they can share their thoughts. Now that you have had a few days to play the new changes we want to hear what you experiences have been playing.
What do you like?

1 ReplyGenerally, the changes are FINE but, I understand that the community was bitching about shotguns and clever dragons. But it seems to me that every time you guys decide to make a change to something being OP you OVERCORRECT. e.g. The fix to HCR and the High ROF pulse flinch reduction was nearly perfect. but to combine those with the ROF reduction AND ammo nerf. means the High ROF pulse rifles can't really take on a second opponent without reloading. this is unacceptable for a PRIMARY you need the ammo capacity to at least take on 2 people. The changes to Shotguns the problem was "apeing" so you nerfed the accuracy in the air considerably and you made hip fire extremely difficult, and you removed headshot damage which further reduced ADS OHK range. That sounds like a great nerf. But then you removed the jug shield, and health regen perks...and then you took ammo away on death. Hence, you cannot run a shotgun any longer for a reliable short range counter weapon...Which also means things like long range/slow ROF scouts and Pulses are more difficult to use...so basically I have to run a sidearm because I cannot rely on my secondary ammo with shotgun or fusion to counter someone charging aggressively. Your changes effectively nerfed every aggressive push playstyle, less benefit from high armor, health regen/shield don't work effectively/close range range weapons nerfed/effective counters to long range weapons (HCR) nerfed. the only aggressive playstyle left is last word / sidearm and then you are USELESS at ranges outside of about 20m. TLDR; maybe don't over correct when you haven't may a sandbox change in 6 months...cause the bitching about OP weapons is more about feeling you have no Choices if you want to win. nerfing shotguns out of existence and correspondingly hurting fusions too didn't make for more choice...it just changes which 1 weapon we have to run now. I'll go practice my crouching behind a rock and crouching with handcannons now...but i'll miss feeling powerful and aggressive.
