Perks such as keenly empowered and keen speed will no longer work upon switching weapons after the brimstone update. Also weapon perks such as fortifying perforate etc. This is a terrible change as New Worlds combat is all about switching back and fourth comboing your weapons. (atleast I thought it was till now). The perks already have a shared cooldown preventing them from being stacked and overpowered. This change is unnecessary and imo pretty random. It will create less build diversity. I understand the changes if maybe there wasn’t an already shared cooldown between weapons on keenly empowered and keen speed. This will make those perks pretty trash. Either make it so both weapons don’t share the same cd for these perks or do not go through with this change at all.
It was never meant to be like this since the beginning.
Everyone embraced it as a feature when it was a bug.
I welcome this change, you can’t stack fortify/empower cap and engage, it’s not braindead, don’t get me wrong, it’s just, the constant mental macro of people doing it took away any spontaneity on the combat, it’s all premade or retreat for cooldowns.
Also, some weapons like the spear can get the buffs up in no time, or how long it takes? 4 seconds? While others had a way higher reuse cap like GA or SnS just to throw some generics.
No, it is not. It all started with insatiable grav well change to only work when GA was out. Did you come out and say its a dumb idea? What was the quote? “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out…” Well, its your time now.
Balance patches are once every 3 months only. They are “major changes” that need to sit on the ptr for 1.5 months, and ags still didn’t bother to tell people all the changes to test.
the perks where never supposed to work when you swamped weapons at all that was a game bug in here for months now. they have legit been saying they were going to fix this since 4 months ago hahah
Just changes the meta swap for cool downs… I wonder when the turning off the AoE after a swap will happen?
how would you know “it wasnt meant to be like this”. That’s nonsense
games been out for over a year though
your swapping weapons every 2-3 seconds. They are dumbing down the gameplay patch after patch.
Since the (twice) hatchet stacks exploit it was mentioned that the general stacking was not intended.
Somewhere in the dev vids and notes.
yea there is no stacking currently. They share the same cooldown. They already fixed that
