Warning!! Do not buy the Fury inc nerf. - Page 2

I'm not surprised at this. You all shouldn't be either.

SOE has been farming PS2 gamers since the beginning. It's only now that gamers are starting to finally wake up and take notice.

I can't help but laugh whenever I hear about another gamer who has spent $200+ on PS2....

I thought that stuff like this was from a list. One day I bought the Indar Scrub camo (infantry) on sale, the next the daily sale was Indar Scrub camo for weapons. So it's manual then? I'm confused.

I don't know what should I think about it.

Is it...
...a well deserved nerf to cheesy invisible and deadly Flashes?
...an unexpected nerf to a weapon that's mostly effective against idiots?
...an unjustified nerf to a glasscannon, which is deadly yet very vulnerable?
...a massive nerf, because now Flash drivers will have to stop to kill anyone?

Probably all of them.

This change will promote AMS Sunderer camping, because normal driving fast and killing will be much, much harder.

"Buy Fury now, just before we nerf it. Then you can abandon Flash and spend your cash on Harraser, which we will nerf as well."

Yeah...

This is almost as good as the Saw fix. Wraith + Fury was ridiculous.

Koadster · 2013-05-01, 09:17 AM

Since SOE uses the excuse a Flash Fury is different to the Sunderer Fury with accountwide unlocks.. Well then the Flash fury should get nerfed but not the Sundie one.

Agreed. And excellent point sir.

Man am I thankful that I enjoy using the Basilisk. I was really intending on getting the fury on the Harasser, but I think I'll wait for some nerfs before I get it.

Yeah, Fury + cloak is complete bullshit at the moment.

The fact someone spent money on it doesn't excuse it from being bullshit. Caveat emptor when buying stuff that's obviously going to get hit with a nerf at some point.

I really believe that those sales are not really dictated by people but rather their store is running some random algorithm that puts stuff up to sale each day. This is just a coincidence.

Honestly the way you people bitch about this game, why do you even play? They aren't going to stop trying to sell people things while they are constantly working on balance. Stuff like this is going to happen until the game is finally shut down. They are going to balance things regardless of whether they put it on sale or not. Balance is balance.

This forum is becoming as bad as the official forums with the constant whining. It's really becoming a drag to be associated with this community.

It should be obvious by now that you buy equipment for the role it fills and not the particular stats on any given day. Expect all the stats to change in the name of making 'it' balanced in the role it was made to fill - could be buffed, could be nerfed, could be one then the other. Details change, but primary function is static.

With that said, I hope the Scout Rifle gets buffed again, because it still isn't capable of filling in the range between SMG and BASR.

Exactly.

bpostal · 2013-05-01, 11:27 AM

I'm going to go ahead and take the long view. Even if (ohnoes!) it does get nerfed, in the end it'll be balanced.
I only really see two outcomes, either:
A: It gets nerfed and is useless until the end of time (or the end of the game) in which case if balancing is that bad that they give up on it, I'll have given up on this game.
B: Sooner or later it will be balanced and will have been worth the purchase.

OR: I can go ahead and try to divine the next OP weapon and ride that until it gets (rightfully) nerfed.

This is very strange. The devs stated a number of times that weapons that appear the "same" to us, like M40 Sunderer Fury and M40 Flash Fury are actually differrent weapons that they are able to tweak separately.

I agree that OHK invisible Flashes are out of hand (never should have allowed to equip weapons on Wraith-equipped Flashes imo), but nerfing Sunderer Fury is completely unnecessary.

I am going back to the Test server to double check.

Edit: Here's what I've found. All of them have been nerfed.

This is a public test server, so all of this is subject to change.
