The lore reason for why the subbreddit is the way it is quite simple. Redditors are very similar to the terminds in the since that they are a mindless hivemind that only exist for one purpose. In this case, their one purpose is defend the devs because the devs have similar interests to them (furry porn).
I don't think I've ever played a game that tried to trash my enjoyment this hard over a few months. Between this and the flamethrower getting
So you're saying if the module for fire damage applied it would be about the same as the regular support flamethrower.
Yes, you are exactly right. It would feel just like the flamethrower pre-nerf (if you didn't have the fire boosting module). But, since it's not a strategem, it doesn't get the bonus so it's weak as shit. Fuck, even the fuel count in the canister feels the exact same.
They want the game to be this intense, gruelling game were teamwork is necessity instead of an option. They then see people largely go off on their own, or in some cases beat max difficulty missions entirely solo and get ass-mad. They then come to the conclusion that the only way to deal with this "problem" is to nerf the most commonly use weapons (i.e. Railgun, Flamethrower, Incendiary Breaker, standard Breaker, Eruptor etc.) instead of actually making objectives harder.
It's not a(n actually) competitive game like Dota or CS where any balance should be targeted at the absolute highest tier of play. Skill should factor in as if something is broken at the highest tier, then unless it relies on enemy density (for effect or value) or some other factor that only exists in harder difficulties, it's going to be even more broken further down the difficulties. The knock on effect both upwards and downwards is always disruptive. It hardly matters in the grand scheme but if there's ever a patch when people can't autistically solo helldives or super helldives or whatever they shit out in the future, that's when the game dies for real. Even during peak Alexus niggertry people were still soloing helldives.
Polar Patriot has the Tenderizer, which is the best Assault Rifle in the game.
PP has two good weapons and nothing else. This has one good gun and a hyper specific armor set. Just raw numbers alone, PP outclasses this.
This is the one armor perk I would really love. You seem to be stuck in a decent amount of end lag after you land before you can stand up, the same can be said for when you take a fall that damages you but only makes you plant your feet and squat for a moment. Armor that reduces the recovery time from falls or ragdolls I think would be huge for something like bots where you get tossed around like a cheap whore. Although this would compete with explosion resistance which has saved me more times than I can count.
This seems more like a perk that would fit helmets as a thing. Something like "Self-Orientation Guidance System" which also can be paired for better jet pack steering.
