This sounds logical, but there is a flaw, at least in respect to D3: the changes are so extreme that players don’t use them. This means little-to-no meaningful back-end data to find the sweet spot. This COULD account for XF going from weak to OP back to weak.
I want to believe the changes are a balancing act but more and more a clear policy of bait and switch is coming into focus. Just look at PX and KP. These two are obviously way above the current 4* norm and there’s no way you can convince me the developers don’t know that.
I don’t quite understand why the developers not just post a poll about their ideas of the ability changes & let us gamers vote to see positive/negative feedback towards the probable alteration. Just like a focus group. Ultimately they have the final decision, but a feedback from their player base is not a bad thing plus offer them some insight.
Because the players on here don’t want a balanced game, they want a game where they have an advantage over their peers. So they vote for the characters they don;t have to be nerfed and for teh characters they do have to be buffed.
People were claiming X Force wasn’t overpowered even though he was in pretty much every 600+ team in PvP. For some reason they were putting him in their teams even though apparently he had all these weaknesses and was appropriately powered.
When faced with that kind of either dishonesty or delusion from your playerbase, why would you look to them for feedback?
X-Force was overpowered, I think everybody agrees on this. The problem is people bought X-Force covers for that very reason. Nobody is going to buy the current nerfed X-Force. The sell price is horrendous, and while his black is still elite he has become a sunk cost. So what am I going to do now? Buy PX & Kingpin covers? Of course not. One, I don’t have most of them because they haven’t been given out in the daily rewards like X-Force was and two because I don’t trust the development team to keep them at their current abilities and they will most likely be decimated in a couple months. Meanwhile, 99% of the feedback is being ignored. How is a consumer supposed to have any confidence in this current business model?
Not as far as we know unless a mod has some insider information. I think it’s just there so, if you are scanning a thread, you can stop on green posts and give them a read cause they might be valuable.
Very good post here from all of you, the health boost is again all over the map, they have absolutly no clue what they are doing. The health thing as to be revised without a doubt. RIDICOULOUS D3, RIDICOULOUS.
And Prof x needs a pink nerf, you can last for an hour with that stupid invisible thing…
