Do not nerf Nim post

[Shismar]

that is true, but i tried to ignore threads like this one, and pretend i didnt see them, i cant anymore YOU ALL spoil the fun for people that havent got there.

Maybe you should play the story instead of exploiting game mechanics to level your weapons.


Concerning Nim, fact is, there are players that have issues with this fight. I understand that. I had when I tried him first as well. Quality of internet connection seems to make a big difference. He is definitely not easy at a 250ms ping.

So something needs to be done by Trion or these players are blocked from future progress. I suggest giving players an opportunity after extracting to change their perks and weapons. Instead of Nim attacking right away again. I know this would have saved me many death while I was trying to figure out a loadout that worked.

Just used a BMG, worked great.

I would have to agree please don't make the fight against Nim any easier.

I'm an older gamer that does struggle with shooters and if they have a difficulty setting choice I will normally choose easy or normal so that I can at least enjoy playing the game but as there isn't that option for all games then you have to just keep trying. I will honestly admit that the final fight against Nim for me was very hard but I just kept trying and dying and so forth. Eventually I can say for myself with great pride that I defeated him, during the battle I considered many times just quitting but I'm really happy that I just kept going until I got him down and now all I want is to have the option to play through the story with my asskicking Kianna so that I can kick his butt again!

I would say to any other gamers like myself that do struggle please just keep persevering, you will eventually beat him, if I can do it then so can you. I was an ego rate of 534 when I beat him and for me the infector worked best for stage one, my lmg for stage two and my assault rifle for stage three along with overcharge. Once you do beat him you will be so overjoyed.

So again as an easy difficulty choosing mature girl gamer I say please Trion don't make Nim any easier, he is perfect just the way he is!

GOD i loved the nim fight had to almost pull my hair out but still love it xD people need to learn from there mistakes not beg for nerf -.-

A bmg makes the fight pretty simple. Still takes time but really not that difficult at all. Just try the reservoir chicken hotshot then you can talk about things that need nerfing

i got admit with every one complaining about how hard nim was im shoock, im not meaning to jump on the defenders of the nim band wagon but he actully was easier then a monarch bugg, i used a FRC Heavy Scattergun on him, it was a lvl 691 with nuclear elemental, and light blue rated. it was fairly easy peasy, i had more trouble with the liuetenant in downtown San Francisco then Nim.

The first time I fought Nim, took me a while. Thought it would be a cake walk, lol not so much. 16 attempts stage 1, 6 on stage two and only one on the final section. Shotty made it real easy and trust me, decoy pisses him off. He falls for it once and then starts saying "your petty tricks will not work on me" and then proceeds to give pain. Lots of pain. Dets are good too, there is a few ammo points in the room. Second time I fought Nim (third playthrough, loves grinding) It was not exactly easy, but I did manage to beat him with just a purple spanner with overcharge. Moral of the story, if something is too hard, change tactics. If that doesnt work, level your toon or group. Nothing helping? Sorry cant help ya. I liked the fight, I say keep it the same. If he is nerfed then everyone else that beat him before then, well lets just it cheapens the experience.

I have to go with the do not nerf side on this.

The only thing that makes this fight hard is YOU.

Like others said previously use different powers, perks, and different weapons. If you expect to win the fight using nothing but overpower and a LMG then you deserve the agony of defeat.

First attempt, SMG, long grueling fight. Won.

Of course, I was spec'd for maximum durability, which may have influenced things. I'm used to being a tank working solo in MMO's.

I think he's a suitable end boss for the current mission lineup, and definitely no walk in the park, like any end boss really should be. I quit WoW because they just kept making it easier and easier until I fell asleep mid-raid.

I think they need to make this fight less about the precious milliseconds I don't have to spare, being 300ms+ latency to servers (playing from New Zealand). This boss got cheap hits in I know I shouldn't have received, seen the fights on Youtube and to us playing from down here it looks nothing like that...he gets cheap hits in thanks to those milliseconds.

The fight isn't hard, it's cheap. The other boss fight at least has tactics that don't involve rolling from an attack that telegraphs my end at -0.01ms

They better start either thinking about giving us a local server, or never again make a fight about milliseconds.

This fight made me realise how ghetto the game is for us down here with no local servers.
