Nerfing the game

[PopFoo]

well so far from what others have told me that some the stuff is Bing nerfted in game I.E. Blasters, repair droid, if y'all keep nerfing the game people will leave the game.

the staff of PG have nerfed the sniper ship good job on that, any other ships going to be nerfed?
because the more you Nerf it the more people going to leave PG

it was like another game that i played till they really messed w/ it nerfed it side ways and all other ways,
till it was no fun to play any more.
well if this next patch proves that more stuff will have some bad nerfing in it then there is no reason to play any more.

Please rethink of what your going to do be for it happens and you kill a great game.

BTW this is not a flame post or bashing or Bing rude of any sort this is pointing out the facts.

Nothing has been nerfed. The sniper ship double orbital strike was clearly a bug that took time to fix. Nothing else has been changed.

If I may, I'd like to say this:

Nerfing won't make people leave in masses. Sure, those that think they have been backstabbed by the PG community will leave, but I don't believe it'll make the game die out.

Besides, nerfing isn't bad either. It could actually make the game more "noob friendly" if used properly. and making it a better place for people that just started playing the game could make the PG community grow.

Nerfing just has a bad name in general, but as I've experienced nerfing through both the user side of the story, and the staff side, I believe nerfing just given a bad name by people who can't stand a bit more equality in a game, or in other words, whiners.

(Please note that with staff side, I don't mean PG. I've been/am a staff member on several games. I'm not a staff member here on PG.)

nerfing is a bad thing if things dont need to be nerfed. Take for example "black ops". They have nerfed the sniper on that so much that it is no longer worth using at all.... Just because SKILLED players could quick scope they decided to remove the most skilled technique in the game. They made it noob friendly, but completely unbalanced the sniper because they thought quick scoping was overpowered... Now there is no point, at all, in using it. This was a complete fail, nerfing like this applied to PG could break the game for good.

Its not like a small company did this either... Big companies can be really stupid sometimes.

the bigger they are the less they lisen to customers (execpt the german ones. Just go look at Bigpoint and what they are doing.)

Just remeber, Pirate Galaxy is better than almost all other non-download games out there, let alone online space games.

Like I said, it has a bad name in general. but if used correctly, it could really help. I was takling about nerfs that are needed. I agree on nerfs being bad if it's not needed.

something i have learned about nerfing, when one nerf happens, another comes as well or something else is the case that justifies it. Delloda already said it was a bug which i feel justifies it. It still is a very useful ability. would you rather have taunt on your sniper instead of os?

Ive would rather have stun instead of OS. Il play a lot on the PTR server with 500% blaster booster, it hardly makes a dent on the mantis

it's bugged.

 

[peck]

actually, no it isn't. the firepower booster affects attacks you make. The OS is a weapon in space that you ask to fire and as such isn't affected.

I Say "Stop Nerfing, Start Buffing"

For instance make OS not flee able make it strike instantly

Jonny said himself in a patchlog long ago that the OS was supposed to attack twice, and you not nerfed anything else? What about the Engi's Protector huh? It used to be awesome, could get to top left on Earth from using it on lz and it would run out before getting destroyed, but now just going past lz takes down half its hp.

and the armor on my old gemini ship? (it used to be a storm) i used to be able to take 2 ds at once and win now even with 1 i had to ab away with fire coming out of me. same with the ds on molikar while in a mizar ship, 1 ds there usually pods a mizar ship there without even giving them the chance to fight back.

That's true, Mizar X-Storm is so weak, even if is a rare. And i don't see any advantage of buying a rare who is more expensive, because is weak like a normal storm.

lol yea i remember jonny saying that as well funny how things change like that, thing is 2 ss staff members contradicting them selfs doesnt look good, os was a little over powered SOMETIMES but now it really is crap the power is that veried most of the time it does hardly any damage to no damage at all, os needs to hit more at the higher range of its power alot more not its lower

 

[Delloda]

We 3 PM's process and translate the patch logs from the Tracking system and very occasional we get 1 or 2 points wrong especially if it is a big patch. Sorry If we caused any misunderstanding. If there is nerfing going on, it will be announced in the patch logs.

We just don't use the "nerf" terminology. It's such a negative word! ^^

I do atm though, get little bugs on the OS where it is so strong. I maybe shouldnt post this but I dont want to be the only one getting it, Where normally I use OS and it attacks straight away. Well a normal OS strike on the new GMs ships took out like 3 pixels, with a crit it took out half of the first bar. Now when I used it last time on Apollon it didnt explode straight away but rather at the end of the warming up and took out half of Apollon's hp with a crit, Now this only happens like 1/10 every time I use OS during PvPs. This OS damage I did it on r60 harvs one time and it almost killed the harv in 1 hit.

Is anyone else getting this? I dont want to be the only one as it could look suspicious over a time.
