    Nerfing saws and siphons

    I have been on these forums for a few weeks now. I have read so many complaint threads, from this game is to easy to these volge are to hard to stop nerfing my saw. People are finding the game too easy because most people get there siphon saw's or ar's with there respark regen and fight everything until they get bored because they are over powered. So Trion is making the game more balanced because there is very little variety in the bulk of player builds.

    Here is a little section off the wiki entry about nerfing:
    Among game developers, MMORPG designers are especially likely to nerf aspects of a game in order to maintain game balance. Occasionally a new feature (such as an item, class, or skill) may be made too powerful, unfair, or too easily obtained to the extent that it unbalances the game system. This is sometimes due to an unforeseen bug or method of using or acquiring the object that was not considered by the developers.[3][5] The frequency of nerfing and the scale of nerfing vary widely from game to game but almost all massively multiplayer games have engaged in nerfing at some point.[5]Since the Programmers place a high priority on balance,sometimes they decide to "nerf" items or abilities or skills if they are overpowered or incompatible with new content.

    And what it says there seems about right trion does want to balance saws withe rest of the guns and the same with siphon on rapid fire weapons. Also it make the other guns more desirable especially since there are releasing all new weapons in the coming weeks and probably new episode missions since the series is over.

    The problem is that if you nerf something, then something else will be OP.
    Then it always be a whiner that will complain that other weapon is OP, and so on...
    It`s a spiral or better yet a cicle. It starts, gets around and it start again.

    So i say, stop the threads about nerfing and buffing.

    Ps: wasn`t talkin about you OP

    Trion doesn't have to nerf the rapid fire weapons, they can simply reduce the rate of fire to correct the problem. The most OP weapons in the game are the infectors. I'm so sick of playing the competitive modes because of people I'm unloading on shooting me with athe infector and every damn shot hits me - even when juming - and kills me. Yesterday, I had a guy down to half his health and was firing aat him with a submachine gun then he unloads the infector on me and kills me.

    I have an infector that does 150 damage per bug and fires 23 per clip, but I feel cheap if and when I use it. Maybe I should start so I can get my trusted level on the echelon contracts...
