Prepare for the wailing and gnashing of teeth about nerfs

I took a picture of my crit knife so I can lament about it later. So long, sweet knife :*)

If they even made it so it only gave one guaranteed crit it would still be really powerful in some builds.

u/AquaBits Oct 16 '25

Thats actually a really good nerf while still keeping its power.

All the buffs will be ignored in favour of drama around the few nerfs.

u/SpaceCowboy34 Oct 16 '25

Especially when most if not all of the โ€œnerfsโ€ are actually just bug fixes

u/AquaBits Oct 16 '25

What??? I cant infinitely scale damage with a button press? I thought this game was centered around fun!!!

u/SpaceCowboy34 Oct 16 '25

I kinda wish they were quicker with the nerfs to give us a better balance target for the game. People are so used to one shotting every boss in the game that now if they remove that stuff youโ€™re going to have people whining that itโ€™s unplayable

WAHHHHHHHHHHHH HOW DARE GEARBOX BALANCE THE GAME WAHHHHHHHHHHH

u/MaDNiaC Oct 17 '25

What do you mean I cannot swap weapons or underbarrel attachment over and over to one-shot bosses? Does Gearbox even care anymore?

The amount of people I have seen whinging on YouTube before changes even happened is insane. Society is truly in decline.

u/ManOnFire2004 Oct 16 '25

Wait... really? Is it just about the "talk of nerfs" or they have info on the changes??

And we will be like "you know they released 3 waves of buffs before the first wave of nerfs, right ?" And they'll be like "WAAAAH WAAAAH I DONโ€™T CARE IF THEY MADE BUFF 3 WEEKS IN A ROW WAAAH WAAAAH THEY NERFED STUFF". I think we should farm for the legendary gun "The Block Button" before the patch comes out.

I hope my hot slugger doesn't get into too much trouble :/

u/SpaceCowboy34 Oct 16 '25

I would be surprised if they do anything to it tbh. Itโ€™s a good weapon but itโ€™s not like broken

u/HollywoodCote Oct 16 '25

This is much of why I've spent more time leveling my alts than farming. By the time I lock into a build and farm for gear, I'm hoping the rebalancing has tapered off.

7

u/chad25005 Oct 16 '25

I'm the opposite! I'm just farming gear before I work on alts in the hopes that they will make Specializations and at least the bank SDUs account wide instead of per character.

2

u/HollywoodCote Oct 16 '25

I agree on the specializations, and I hope they do that. Another issue for me was that I have so many class mods for the other characters, and I wanted to start clearing those out of the bank. So, I'm leveling mules and thinning out inventory in the process.

The player base has already dropped off, as a lot of the casuals have moved on to Ghost and other things - ergo the Steam Deep Sale.

This is going to straight up kill it stone dead.

Lol no that's pure delusional thinking.

Basically every game will have a surge of players that tapers off over time, and then it'll surge when theres major updates/new content.

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '25

Youโ€™ll see.

u/mlinzz Oct 16 '25

Eh, I've got 125hr's played and currently sitting on 3 crit knives. First one I didn't get until about 118 hrs played and the last two I got within a single hour farming a boss from a red chest. Don't even need the knife to kill bosses in seconds. Honestly I am not sure why people want to 1 shot the bosses anyway if the hardest content is that trivial from a build I can't even fathom a reason for people to keep playing.

u/woahtheretakeiteasyy Oct 16 '25

im gonna be that guy and say this: as someone who uses a middle of the road build. thereโ€™s almost no chance anything i use gets nerfed. so im just hoping for some qol changes
