mythical buff thread (long thread where long and detailed boring comments are appreciated)

Not sure about the rest but this was definitely @LemonSqueezy

Absolutely not.
Canis nerf to AoE started from me, and caused me not little problems especially with TNC players.

I thought first you meant the DCS nerf but I guess you mean the Underdog nerf. I remember distinctly Lemon’s thread where he was frustrated because he couldn’t use his fire monsters in the FL. Then there was Lucrayzor’s analysis about Fire being punished too hard just for being Fire.

I think the first Underdog nerf mentions were by @Laxus back in 2019 already. I guess you were vocal about it just before it happened and TNC took their anger to you. But the snowball had already been set rolling.

And even if I wanted to believe you, you’re making it really hard by saying stuff like this. If you did things selflessly for the community, you wouldn’t be so eager to claim credit. Therefore if you truly want people to think that you have good intentions, a little humility wouldn’t hurt.

I think most of my nerfs have been implemented. Unfortunately, KD didn’t make statistics for me
Now I think how to nerf

I didn’t want to claim infact, I just did respond with what I remembered on the top of my head.
I didn’t do an accurate research over my nerf thread, neither I want to.

I just hate when people want to make my “look bad”, when I said that my nerfs are been implemented I wasn’t meaning “start a research to prove I am right/wrong”, I was meaning instead “I have an average good intelligence to understand what mechanics to report if there is an issue”.

So, as I said before if some major nerfs are been implemented is because I brought up some logic consequences, Devs evaluated, and implemented.
Was not my intention to claim any credit, but is sad how quick are people to contradict me.

Ok, now you pull out the victim card? Let me get this straight.

First you come in calling Guesswhosback’s reply BS. Then you claim you’re basically a saint that never does anything for your own benefit. When I told you it’s not always been the case, you specifically ask for examples. I didn’t jump on it but later Killerdog did. You contradict yourself by saying people make nerf threads without bias, then say that 90% of people that comment are biased. Where do you pull out these percentages anyway? And now you are somehow the victim?

There was no need for any of this, but you came in with an arrogant attitude, accusing people of things. It’s natural they will defend and get back to you.

Finally as a friendly tip, if you really want to come across as unselfish, I suggest you re-evaluate your attitude and approach because it will cause people to misunderstand you.

Finally I want to emphasize that civil discussion on the forum is always welcome. It’s great to see different opinions. I just wish we could keep our egos out of it.

My favorite part is that DonT calls my „people want stuff nerfed because they lose to it“ BS but the reason people don’t want stuff nerfed 90 % of the time is „that they own the monster“

Alright :clown_face:

Dude I literally went through threads you started to see what they were talking about. Every thread from when you joined the forum up until a year ago (didn’t go through the last year because I’d already done enough looking by that point).

Why are you so stubborn you’ll convince yourself I was only looking for the things I wanted to see?? I guarantee you that you’re forgetting all the ideas you’ve proposed and mostly remembering the ones which happened.

I was not trying to make you look bad. I wrote some insight into the buff/nerf threads you create and the conversations which happen there (trying to explain why people think you’re heavily bias and you think you are not). You replied by not really taking in what I wrote (probably seeing it as being a negative thing against you, which it was not) then wrote some random bulls**t numbers: “90% people who own a monster don’t want it nerfed because they own it”, “most of the problems I highlighted they got fixed” and “90% of the community believe the Devs fix the things I say because my words are powerful”. Seeing that, I was very disappointed and I decided to prove you wrong on one of your claims because you’re clearly not listening to me and just talking out of your arse to help yourself disregard my words.

So to be clear: I’m not coming after you personally, just disappointed that your response to me writing some insight that could even be useful for you to know was to disregard everything.

EDIT: Exu explained the back and forth, with its chronology, better up above.

Okay I did a little research again for you guys…

New Legendary from IC - 13th May 2019, a week before its release. Turns out I was the first perosn on the forum to call a nerf for it, lol I didn’t even realise! Although it’s because I misread the passive as giving 0-4* monsters excessive force. I totally called how people were going to use it with assisted AoE too haha. Of course this doesn’t count properly though because I misread things.

High speed aoe - July 2019. Laxus made a thread saying he thinks the Cani AoE FL is unbalanced.
weaken the underdog - November 2019. Laxus makes another thread about underdog being too strong, especially for lower ranked players (he is caring about newer players here).
Can we use fire again please? - December 2019. Lemon makes the thread many remember (it has 300+ posts) about Canishogun’s double counter strike.
KD’s Version Update History - February 2020. Canishogun gets its first nerf from release: double counter strike becomes flame eater. It’s July 2020 where underdog gets nerfed.

For most of 2019 people actually spoke about Canishogun being relatively weak. Not many people saw it as a balance problem at all. Laxus, me, DonT, Lemon and a few other people sometimes talked about it a bit… mainly underdog. It was only after the monster had been out for about 6 months that we started seeing lots of threads about it and then it was the early stages of 2020 it was very common in PvP and got lots of attention on the forum.

So DonT was part of the discussions but didn’t play any instigating role until much later. He may have been the one really pushing for the Cani AoE FL to be killed off but I didn’t look closely at 2020 because that’s when there was loads of Cani discussion on the forum and tbh since there were lots of people talking about Cani I think it’s hard to pinpoint anything on an individual person.

@DonT89 Please give it all a rest. As Guesswhosback points out, you enjoy making the claims that people nerf the stuff they lose to, don’t want their own stuff nerfed and yet contradict yourself immensely by saying threads on the forum are started without bias and whenever someone accuses you of being bias you say you are not at all. If you truly believe it’s 90% of people that speak with their own bias then it’s highly likely you’re also in that 90%. When I first wrote in response to you here I didn’t say you were so bias… you should’ve gone along with that!

EDIT: Just want to add that DonT89 while looking through all these posts in research I can confirm you’ve said a large number of times that “80-90% of people talk only with bias on the forum” (or something along those lines). I had no idea how much you said it! You’ve said it mainly when people are disagreeing with you or you’re putting a counterpoint to someone else’s idea. So tbh you really can’t complain about people calling you bias whenever you make a suggestion. You’ve done it loads!

:rofl:So KD you should look at my nerf topic. The latest nerf is the fleet.
I am the most nerf topic owner player, and most of them have been realized. This is very interesting. Please give me the crown of T89

Hmm but you made those threads then nothing happened… Lemon made a thread and 2 months later the nerf was made.

No crown for you but you can get a little party hat saying “nerf party” on it to take home for your participation.

Your Nauticruiser nerf thread is only needed because I made a buff thread and also got the Devs to make tokens come with full speed (so Nauticruiser got a double buff). Does that make me the villain?

This shows that I am always ahead of others for several months in terms of game balance. If it weren’t for the damn translation problem, I think I would do better

I seldom mention nerf now. Maybe it’s just because we don’t have novice players anymore. I’m no longer keen on it. Of course, I won’t let you become a villain

I concur

Ok I think here things went too far.

@Killerdog @ItsSherlock @Exu

I am not here to argue on who is right and who is wrong, this point I would like to be clear to everyone.
I don’t understand where is the problem on “thinking for the community”, if you guys don’t believe, or think I am biased by my own experience, I don’t blame you.
Maybe is just the right thing in my mind… Possibly.
Many times I came up saying something was not fine, then the community said the opposite.
I’ll make an example: I’ve been pointing the lack of logic behind potent sleep for ages, 50 TU/ 75% chances vs sleep 65 TU/ 50% chances, now this is been debated saying that for example Goldtail was extremely slow and vulnerable, but turns out over time devs decided to nerf.
So even if the community was against this nerf, it happened. Why? Because was logically right to happen.
And this is only one example.
So, maybe you are right, I am biased by my own experience, but I always try to come out with a good reason in my nerf/buff post.

I don’t hold grudge to anyone.
Peace guys.

Goldtail was a very very old monster that was designed entirely for the move potent sleep. It was even too strong just like that and people questioned the logic and balance of the move before you even started playing. However, we all grew to accept it because it was mainly a PvE thing and it was only on one monster. Hence, the general consensus was to leave it how it was… until Lemon got the move.

The nerf wasn’t to Goldtail specifically, it was because they were rebalancing sleep overall. I alluded to this a number of times in posts and videos. I won’t bother listing all the different things they changed/added but potent sleep was one of the bits they did a pass on and redesigned into something more appropriate. So yeah they did fix the logic but this was never the thing the general consensus of the community was against… they just didn’t think it was necessary to change Goldtail.

I completely agree things in this thread went too far. However, you really were choosing to engage in it, ask for responses and even now continue to make some random side statements about things where you’ve had an opinion and it’s been backed by the Devs. I also want to move on so I won’t write more. However, I hope you can heed what I originally wrote to you whenever you’re writing a buff/nerf/opinion thread and people are calling you bias or something else you’re not happy about:

Good

What isn’t good is that you just necroed a thread that had been dead for over a year.
