asymmetric,

Good post, good explanation, sorry you got downvoted by people who can’t read

Arrowhead CEO says Helldivers 2 balancing patches have 'gone too far' recently: 'It feels like every time someone finds something fun, the fun is removed' (www.pcgamer.com)

Replying to a player on Twitter who said recent patches have made the game “unplayable,” Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt conceded that he’s not satisfied with his studio’s current balancing approach....

asymmetric,

League of Legends did this when they released new champions. New champ is overtuned for about a month, then it gets nerfed back down to baseline. Who knows how much money they got when people bought RP to get the sexy new champ and all their skins.

asymmetric,

I’m making an announcement to everyone:

I’m canceling my plans for today, codenamed Kestrel. You will never know what they were.

asymmetric, (edited )

Looks like you gotta eat your sneakers. Please do it. For democracy.

asymmetric,

I can see it. Arrowhead just wants to keep shoving themselves up our asses.

asymmetric,

An internet classic

asymmetric,

I hear this guy is pretty good at getting fucked

asymmetric,

I bought this game in early access like 10 YEARS AGO lol. Feels like it has been in my library forever now.

Not to rain on Rimworld’s parade, but where is the next Rimworld successor? We had Dwarf Fortress > Rimworld > ???

asymmetric,

There is an entire generation growing up that only understands “Discord” as “chat app” instead of as the vocab word.

asymmetric,

They HAD a cool PVE mode that they put a ton of effort in to creating. They released a bunch of fun minigames as a promotion for all their Star Guardian stuff. Then after a few weeks, it went away and never came back.

asymmetric,

Damn, now we don’t know what we don’t know, because the guy deleted another comment lol.

The OP’s comment (which has now been deleted) was “If you read some of the comments I’ve deleted, you would know.”

Christian nationalism is a slept mindvirus

If I actually played any EA games, I’d probably be upset

Can someone sell me on the appeal of this anime?

I remember this play and the entire series very well. It was the most exciting playoff series in the last decade+. However, it was Crosby knocking away Voracek’s glove.

asymmetric,

Lol I remember that too. Hello, fellow anime/hockey fan.

asymmetric,

Yes, it would be great if some production committee took a swing on making a traditional sports shounen. As long as it isn’t some bottom budget afterthought it could be legitimately good.

As for my team, I’m a Flyers fan. How about yourself?

asymmetric,

I am far from Philly and have not been there in a long, long time, so I can’t give you firsthand info what conditions are like. But the Flyers are also years removed from being a packed house sellout crowd. Also, one of the last home games before Chuck Fletcher got fired last year, the WFC was full of Rangers fans. They turned it into their barn for that game and beat us lol. You might go there and meet more Rangers fans than Flyers fans.

asymmetric,

Was it because of a player? Family?

Sorta both. My parents aren’t even hockey people, they never played, they don’t skate, but for whatever reason they have always loved the Flyers. Combine that with Lindros being the effing man for about 6 years in the 90s, caused me to become a Flyers fan since then.

Honestly sometimes I wonder why I even like my team lol. They haven’t been good for about 14 years and we are in for at least another few tough years before Briere can clean out the Chuck Fletcher stink from Philly.

asymmetric,

Bad straw man argument

asymmetric,

No part of that guy’s comment is valid. He’s not even the barest bit subtle about how badly he is distorting the facts.

Nobody is talking about any of these things: a gun that 1 tapped every enemy, infinite ammo, auto aiming, wanting every gun to become a 1 tap super weapon. It’s not even part of the discussion. All of these are imaginary things this person made up. Somehow people are just looking at it and nodding instead of calling out the bullshit.

asymmetric,

Is there a name for the phenomenon when a company or group has access to all of the metrics for a product or good then makes foolish decisions using that information?

Right now Arrowhead can deflect all criticism of their actions by saying “we made this decision based on the numbers” while ignoring the fact that metrics aren’t magic numbers blindly meant to be followed, you are supposed to use them to discover underlying reasons for why those numbers exist in the first place.

This patch is a big L for me and a bad omen for what is to come of this game if the devs are making their decisions like this.
