Shield Polarize -- This Is Not A Nerf, This Is Literally Breaking It

I just read the update today and, sorry to say: Wow, really? Really? You just made a restorative ability check for LoS? You mean I have to look at ugly Hek everytime to heal myself? Look, we know you want to nerf our farm, but you don't do it by breaking abilities like this.

 

Shield Polarize isn't just an offensive ability, it's also a support ability. And a support ability doesn't deserve this kind of nerf. Please, at least make us able to restore our shields freely.

Don't worry guys ; giving the storm this update gave birth to, DE wil have no choice but answering us sooner than later.

"We feel like we're doing the right thing and this change we've done is to remove the unintentional exploits, and the LoS mechanic will be looked into further to make it suitable in Warframe and acceptable by the players."

Naw, I'm just randomly quoting what they are likely to say if they try to defend the nerfs.

I believe you mean when they defend it. If they don't defend it then they will look mildly incompetent, essentially admitting they messed up bad. If they do defend it... well I'm sure other video games have had worse PR moments, but not by much.

They had every change to make it right in the case of the Excalibur. Check out the vote in hot topics! It was obvious that the majority was not happy with the changes. They even accidentally once put the RB nerf in and they saw the outrage. Yet, they implemented it.

So no, they ARE self-righteous and I do not expect a reasonable explanation, because franly, I do not think they have one. Nor for Excalibur nor for Mag, or Trinity.

I can name far, far worse (and well-known) PR moments in the history of video games. The backlash from this update is just the playerbase finally waking up to how haphazard and uncertain DE is when it comes to fixing problems in their game.

Shield Polarize requires you to be in LoS with an enemy to work? That doesn't sound right at all.

 

As of yesterday it does. This is to prevent Mags on Viver from making the entire map go boom by pressing 2 over and over in the center.

 

I'm fine with LoS changes on certain abilities, but not the ones changed today. What needed to be addressed were the Corrupted mods that let Mag use this strategy in the first place, among other things that Corrupted mods allow players to do.

 

Syndicate farming itself needs an overhaul as well.

Sorry, I meant specifically it seems strange that the Shield restoration part of the skill requires an enemy to be in your LoS. I can understand the damage part (although I don't agree with it).

This wasn't meant to be intelligent.

 

I have a feeling 15.2.0 was meant to be an immediate stop while they find a better way of fixing things.

 

I choose to believe that DE isn't that stupid...but if it turns out I'm wrong, I'm done with DE...

<angry about Excal changes> I know, how about you decrese the spawn rate of enemies on Viver to match other interception spawn rates or is this an intelligent move that DE was staying away from?

</angry about Excal changes>

 

Viver runs had to be changed since it "broke" the game.

It's probably because you're not in LoS with yourself.

 

I'm serious.

Alad knows what's up. And it is implied by some that inside the Warframe are actually energies :0
