I think the people that post as if they hate the game probably actually like the game, but that’s not how their posts read.
I could pull a bunch of quotes from recent posts to illustrate my point, but I’m pretty sure we all know the types of things I’m referencing.
There are a significant number of regular posters who never have anything positive to say about the game, and who regularly post that the game is hopelessly broken, often in response to any positive comment.
If that’s how people want to use the forum, that’s their right, but I’m going to keep arguing with them, because I’m tired of them dominating so much of the discussion.

The fact that people are so passionate to even complain let’s you know they love the game.
This brings up something I was thinking the other day.
Everyone always complains people are crying, but 90% of the time they are just trying to start a conversation about something they love.

Maybe because nothing positive happened to the game in ages? Supercharged killed a good chunk of the build variety we had before, and devs are making no efforts whatsoever to fix this, so I see no reason to applaud.

It’s hard not to agree here.
I think they might be trying to bring cannons back with this new patch, but until they address the movement part issue we will just have a cannon meta again.
Who thinks it’s a good idea to have hover and cannons OP at the same time? It wasn’t fun before and it’s not going to be fun again.

It’s quite possible that I feel more positively about the changes because it’s very rare that any of them break any of my builds in any significant way.
It’s almost like a lot of balance changes are made specifically around how I build and play, so my experience is actually an expanding of build possibilities for myself.
I guess I should just feel lucky that’s how things have been working out. So many people hate the wheel changes, but I’ve had a lot of fun with them. Mileage may vary.
Essentialy this is another hover op thread (not that i have a problem with it, i completely agree).
Im going to present this: The moment they nerfed hovers slightly 2-3 weeks ago and we started having some more build variety in clan wars, we also saw a small increase in clan participation once a gain after a long time.
And now that there are a couple actualy viable heavy setups, variety is making a small comeback and slowly the game begins to get more enjoyable again…BANG CANNON BUFF!
I strongly believe cannons could use a small buff, but not now that everything else struggles so hard to compete with hovers.
Alas, i have no expectations anymore to be honest.

I’m hoping that with the spaced armour fix, they also increase the effects of cannon recoil on hovers. Having said that, I know that good hover players are able to use that recoil to their advantage, so I’m not confident that could actually do much to stop the incoming wave of hover cannons.
Maybe more of an accuracy penalty for moving while shooting?
I’m not too worried: I’m so happy with how fixed angle cannons currently work on omniwheels that I’m confident I’ll be able to stand my ground against the next hover cannon meta.

Complaining and self-pity, they don’t do what I want, they made chasing my dream impossible, they don’t understand anything about it etc etc. You could see it as a signal of helplessness. And it usually is. In online gaming it is generally a form of lack of realism and not being able or willing to accept that the game is not what they think it should be. These types need a reality check and in XO’s case it’s relatively simple. This game is what it is, it’s not going to change structurally anymore. I already knew that after a year, I’m a bit slow, I kept bumping on for another year in the hope that it would be further developed, unfortunately. Then stopped for over a year, now I play without any expectation and am having a great time.

Where do you see self-pity? Where do you see complaining? I haven’t made a single “reeeh hovers OP” thread in years, and hovers haven’t been that OP since ages. I didn’t complain about the meager content of the current BP, and in fact bought it because I’m having moderate amounts of fun with friends in CW when the game isn’t the same 2 vehicles again and again and I have some time for XO these days.
If asked about the balance of the game like in this thread, I’ll say it’s shit. If I disagree with another comment, I’ll discuss or move on. Apparently the moving on part is hard for some.
If I go by what you’re saying, we play the game the same way and expect about as much out of it, so I don’t get this perpetual virtue-signaling. Are you complaining that people complain to look like you’re not complaining or something? I don’t get it lol. If you wanna argue that build diversity shouldn’t be the goal of a building game and is just my distorted preconception of it, go for it. I’m watching.
Ok, now we’re at complaining about people complaining about people complaining.
I’m tempted to complain about your post, just to get the complaint chain even longer!

Maybe you should reread your own posts about game. At least 50% is whining, garbage this garbage that, hover tards in CW, devs do nothing, derogatory stories about players spending more money on game than you, etc etc. You may not even notice it yourself.
I mean, I can handle customers. I’m actually pretty good at talking the lunatics out of firebombing their imagined adversaries. It just takes far more out of me than it apparently does people with a more natural disposition towards dealing with them. It does nothing for my misanthropic tendencies.

okay you got me, yes I’m a contrarian and yes I’ll take the accusations (^%. I’m also spending too much time here, probably more than in the game. Symptoms of not finding it very fun anymore. Sorry for anyone annoyed, have a good day ladies and gentlemen.

I think its many ppl asking for a balance, but this balance will never become. For me its obvius, im not game developer but when you have game like crossout with multiple items and a lot of freedom to mount your builds, its literally imposible to balance all items. Furthermore if you stop, sit, and think about it, the devs will intencionally create disbalance to fishing all bills of players who just wana play the most efective items.
An easy example is Arbitrer, was a really good weapon compared with others of the same category, they dont touch it for months, in ps4 price of arbitrer was 6000-7000 coins and i know that many ppl just bought it to win some games. After nerf this item cost 3500, and a lot of ppl who get that for 6000+ are now selling it at 3500 because is not efective like it was. Its all about money and psicology.
Everyone is free to post whathever they want but i think all post about balance without real proposal are like 0 on the left side amigos.

Tusk cabs still need a nerf. I swear every time I get rammed by a tusk build that isnt even using boosters I lose a 300 hp bumper along with multiple frames behind it. Using augers was impossible if the enemy team had a tusk player that focuses me.
All this up to the red line just gets evaporated every time I get rammed by a tusk from the front. I deliberately went with two frames and it doesnt matter, I still lose both of them.

This game let me run simple, generic, low ps (sub-3K) builds for two hours this morning. I know that’s almost nobody’s style, but I couldn’t be happier. It hasn’t let me do that in over a year. Usually it would sit me in an eternal queue if I tried, but not this morning. They were nice and brief waits presenting me heaps of old-school Crossout fun, with none of the modern frills. I loved it. Thanks, Devs.

Buff attachment points and nerf “why so serious”!

It’s always interesting and sometimes entertaining to experiment with. It didn’t find the build in the gallery. If it would be there I will give it a try

A maxed weight tusk build can do over 2k dmg. Don’t need boosters. Don’t even need to use a single energy.
It’s why I think Cerebus’ damage isn’t in line with a Tusk (one should be buffed, the other nerfed).
