Galatine Is Seriously Op

[Syriiz]

Uh?  I've acknowledged that melee, as a whole, is underpowered.  That doesn't change the fact that if we buff all melee, weapons like the Galatine need to be buffed the least, because as it stands right now it and weapons like it stand far above the rest.

 

When melee 2.0 comes around, the Galatine needs to be brought in line with other weapons, and that's assuming melee is actually buffed and not merely changed.

 

This thread serves to be a reminder to the developers that there is a balance concern.  It needs to be addressed eventually.

Who said that all melee weapons will be buffed when Melee 2.0 comes out? DE will do tweaks, that's all I'm certain.

Aaaaaaaaand you just necro'd a thread that died in January.

 

Show's over, people, let it sink back into obscurity. The argument was over two months ago.

[shut]

 

Nothing has changed since the argument ended two months ago.

We can dig it up again if Galatine becomes the end-all with Melee 2.0 or something. Until then, let's keep this thread nice and dead.

No, we don't have to wait.  That was the mindset before Damage 2.0.  Did that address any of the balance issues?  Nope.  The Vulkar and Bo were still underpowered and the Soma and Galatine were still overpowered.

 

 

That's far exaggerated.  The Galatine does not take 2.5 seconds to charge.  The time to charge it is slightly worse than the time it takes to charge a Gram, and you get over twice the damage when accounting for crit.  It even has superior status on the charge attack, for some ungodly reason.

But you can be knocked down. Other weapons keep you from being knocked down while charging, but not the galantine...

Not really that OP. Charge time even with mods is forever and a day and the normal swing speed is negligible because it hits for next to nothing outside of charged attacks. There are going to be far better choices when melee 2.0 comes out. Ash/Valkyr plus Dual Ichors will still be godmode.

Back in the day it carried me through the whole solar system because modding/getting mods for weapons was so hard. 

Now, compared to OP guns, it's meh, but for noobies, it is quite OP.

I hardly see the Galatine or Dual Ichors in the game on other players.

I personally only have the Ichors equipped unless leveling something else, they are fantastic.

The Galatine is such a boring weapon to use, regardless of its power.

Why are people still dancing on this thread's grave? It's dead, and leave it like that, because come melee 2.0 a lot will change, rendering this thread just another pointless rant(not that it already is).

[deltaheavy]

If they buffed other melee weapons, noone would use guns on lower levels, because melee would go through everything like through butter.  Like you can do right now with Galatine. And only Galatine, nothing else.

ever tried the Orthos Prime?

how is it dead when nothing has changed and Galatine is still many times more powerful than any other melee

[Grulos]

People still discuss this topic?

 

 

Why don't you guys just wait until Melee 2.0 and THEN start it again?
