Buff instead of nerf!

After thinking about it for a while I realised that the devs should rather buff other classes when one class is OP instead of nerfing that single class. Let me explain why.

When you nerf a class, no matter how OP that class might be, everyone playing it gets sad and if  they have put much time into getting the perfect looms for that class it is even more annoying. Even for people that are not that class it is annoying when it gets nerfed, simply because then it does not seems as fun to pick that class anymore because it is worse that what it used to.

If you buff the other classes instead the OP class wont feel that he has been nerfed + all the other classes are happy because they got buffed. Now everyone likes being buffed instead of nerfed.

Every single patch I see something that gets nerfed, and rarely something is buffed, but every time I see that something gets nerfed I go "Oh well, I guess I wont be going that class anytime soon :("

If you compare this mod to native, then every single piece of equipment has been nerfed. Almost everything has been nerfed at one point which results in everything being sucky, and that is no fun!


Short version: Buff all other classes when one class is OP instead of nerfing that class.

Nerf is not a fixed modifier, you don't determine the strength/viability of a class by the number of "nerfs" it has received. Stupid, stupid mentality... :|

No, just keep buffing untill it is all balanced. Of course everything might get to OP in the end, but that will take some time, but when it happens then yes, the nerfing would probably start again.

I didn`t say that, I just said that things should be buffed instead of nerfed.

You didn't say that, but you think that way. "Oh, they gonna add 1 nerf to my class, rather add 1 buff to other class"

Problem is, if we keep buffing, at a certain time we will be in the state of Onehit Lightsabers for melee and pinpoint accuracy Oneshots over the whole map for ranged.
Maybe it woud be better for me to find out where you life and kill you when you are satch a Soziopath. You have enough now.

Why made you think that I think that way? :?

I was hoping the game would be balanced at some point so there would be no more buffs and nerfs, but if it keeps going untill the point everything is extremely OP you could just start nerfing again. Of course only buffing things might be a bit too extreme, but atm they almost never buff things.

Oh and melee would never get onehit lightsabers if everything else had been buffed, the armor would be too strong :wink:

I couldn't care less and don't see any difference other than more work for the devs and maybe some psychological effect for the sensitive.

This, balance needs to go both ways, or else you get power-creep.
