What other abilities from Helminth do you think will be considered as "not functioning as intended"? I was thinking Empower, M4D, and Expedite Suffering were going to get nerfed. M4D already on the chopping block now. Any potential Warframe subsumes you think will hit the chopping block even harder by DE? 18 Link to post Share on other sites

lukinu_u 6,187 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 They are fixing stuff early after release, rather than keeping broken things in the games for years before fixing it, like stealth gas, neg crit, multiplicative vex armor, etc...

Xylena_Lazarow 1,108 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 There's no point nerfing anything other than gunblades and statsticks, and even those could stay and my own game experience wouldn't really be affected. I'm baffled at how DE decides anything is "too powerful" and for that matter, the nerfs to Helminth abilities like Roar haven't stopped people from doing degenerate damage on frames like Inaros. That said, I will shed no tears if gunblades, statsticks, and Helminth Roar get the Maiming Strike treatment. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Its rapidly becoming popular and is showing up in lots of helminth guides. Hell it was even the first ability i subsumed, purely on builds i had theory crafted when Helminth was announced. Banshee likes Breech Surge. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

HoustonDragon 832 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Anyone not expecting nerfs and balancing changes after a brand new system launches clearly hasn't been playing MMOs that long. Some stuff, like Marked for Death, was obviously and blatantly broken and was gonna get a smack. Doesn't affect me, since I wasn't using it anyway. 9 Link to post Share on other sites
(NSW)Electropuncher 238 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Nothing is wrong with Empower, unless there's some bug I wasn't aware of. Flat 50% strength on next cast is fairly unimpressive. Useful, but unimpressive. Expedite Suffering honestly kind of needs a buff, because from what I've seen, it's just "deal all your slash and toxin damage-over-time ticks now." It technically doesn't do anything unless you're impatient, as it doesn't increase the damage of those ticks. Furthermore, it doesn't affect fire damage. And yeah, you can boost your power strength to boost the damage it deals, but you could also just... shoot more times? Aweblade did a pretty good rundown of why this ability isn't worth it. My real complaint with the Helminth secretions is that outside of Empower, which you get for interacting with the system in the first place, and Energized Munitions (which is just legit great), all of the secretions are either outclassed by abilities you can get from the system otherwise or are outright useless. M4D was one of the only good abilities, and I'll have to do some testing to see if it still has a place on my Ash. I doubt it will. I can't think of any other frame that really needs it, although... Trinity... Hmm... :thonk: 3 Link to post Share on other sites

League of Legends has been doing this since... whenever it was first discarded unto our world. Release new hero that's OP AF, get people to buy it, then nerf the ever loving crap out of it. DE's not new to this either. Synoid Gammacor was a beast when it was released... nerfed soon after. It's just how the industry rolls. So whenever you see something that's too good to be true, roll your eyes, sigh, and expect the doomhammer. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't going to spend the resources on them until DE has fixed them to function as intended. I was just stating the abilities I feel would get nerfed. Not really a complaint from my side. I'm loving the Helminth regardless of any future nerfs or buffs. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see why you complain. After releasing stuff they didn't bother checking You see, they rushed content, barely tested it ingame (if any test was done) prior to the release and then afterwards they almost feel like victims of what they did, claiming "this was unintentional, this was bugged" They can't make changes without making players upset so now they make them but always blame something else. I personally don't mind, but we all have seen this story many times and now it's always the bugs that cause them to change. "i swear the ability wasn't supposed to come out like this" just means they didn't even test it. They are just trowing things at random with multiple descriptions and then pick the one they like after things are implemented.

The M4D nerf doesn't stop anyone from being degenerately powerful, same way the original Helminth S-tier nerfs (which I defended) didn't stop anyone from dealing degenerate damage with their Inaros. They're just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic at this point. Just let it go so we can all enjoy the horrors of the deep. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

(XBOX)TyeGoo 9,114 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Anyone thinking that ability was "fine" is basically agreeing to be insane.. I tried it one. Time.

Imniscor 326 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) The problem is we are being used as beta testers. They should test and nerf features before releasing, not after. Poor Quality Control. Bad Test Engineers. I've took part in only 1 recall when working as Test Engineer for the automobile industry. Doing mechanical, electrical, environmental and software testing. This is a lot more testing than just software testing. 1 recall in 7 years. Edited September 17, 2020 by Imniscor 9 Link to post Share on other sites

They don't test stuff properly because it's a bunch of additionnel work that players can do faster and more efficiently than their team. Why would they bother paying a team of 10-20 testers to outlight bug and potential abuses, while they can count 60k+ players to test and give the feedback, to fix things within hours ? Also "not working as intented" doesn't mean they "blame something else" as you said, it means the thing just don't achieve what is was supposed to do. It might because of a bug, misconception on their side, forgotten possible synergy with other content, etc... regardless of what's the cause, it's not what they wanted, so it need to be changed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
(PSN)poloslash18 395 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Marked for Death was not balanced, it needed to be changed. I went 2 hours solo on SP Ophelia ever invisible and dealing millions of damage to multiple enemies. But what they did with the AoE is not OK. They basically fixed the overwhelming damage and call it a day. Can someone confirm if is still usable? I can't say because I am on console, but to me it seems that they just fixed the bug and didn't add scaling potential to the ability. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Rebore 201 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 The moment I found M4D fun I knew DE was gunna nerf well that and you can do dmg cap with it lol. They could have just fixed mods applying twice & trickery procing on each enemy hit but they just nerfed it even harder, haven't tested it out yet since update block. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
-AoN-CanoLathra- 5,398 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) I think they should have only fixed the bugs (double mods, double crits, trickery, etc.), then put it back into the wild to see how OP it was once it was working properly, then consider adjusting the power level. The problem is that they did both a bugfix and a nerf, at the same time, and tried to write it off as "just a bugfix". And many players, including myself, are tired of nerfs being called 'bugfixes'.

JackHargreav 5,545 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Marked for death was way too powerfull for what it was. As a Helminth ability it out shined every other Helminth ability. It was clear that it would get hit by the nerf hammer hard. If you thought it would stay like that you were a bit "too optimistic". 1 Link to post Share on other sites
