Remove great sword from game

i would be down

These posts are so dumb… are you just posting to get a rise out of people? Attention? You can’t seriously think they’re going to remove an entire weapon from the game.

Post something of value. Use the weapon and learn where you can excel with it and where you fall short. Then when you know it come five ACTUAL feedback on what needs tuning from your perspective. Not just “rEmOvE dA wEaPoN I nO LiKe”

I honestly don’t mean offense, but man…

I was going to say the same thing but decided I couldn’t be hassled with it today. Thanks for doing it for me.

would you like me to say nerf great sword instead? same thing breh figure it out

What they need to do is something similar to what happened when the vg came out (They nerfed fs/ig hard).

Nerf the shit out of anything related: GA, s&s, hatchet, …

Then let that single weapon be strong for a month. Then adjust it.

VG was actually busted tho. If BB is still how it is since March then they aren’t touching GS lol

If AGS should do anything, is it to balance things properly and create more perk combinations on gear to the game so you have more options, and allowing people make more unique dps, tank and healing builds

In the case of great sword - is it exactly how it should be. Nothing needs to be changed

Oh yeah. Remember when the BB was busted and people were one shot comboing everyone so they nerfed the SnS and then the BB was still busted and stayed that way and then the GS came out and people just forgot and now they just make dumb posts like this one?

Actually though, that nerf to the SnS was necessary. A good change (and I main the SnS).

True it was actually busted and stay busted for a while.

I just mean that they knew to nerf FS/IG when it came out so at least use the same logic for the GS

I love the GS but there are some tuning that needs to be done. The most obvious to me is that skyward slash applies rend and disease even if it gets blocked. That seems wrong to me.

Honestly, yes, greatsword is strong AF right now and it deserves a nerf, i’ll not argue about that.

But what enables this crazy ammount of damage is the fact that most people are running hatchet along with it, and the immortality is just insanely strong i don’t even know why is that in the game.

GS is strong so nerf Hatchet even though nothing changed about Hatchet other than it already receiving a nerf a week ago. Got it. Makes sense.

yea and it got nerfed within 4 weeks. Massive nerfs. lowered shrapnel damage, lowered pellet count, lowered blast shot damage, added blast shot delay, roll in claw shot, list goes on and on my friend. I do believe gs is being treated with less nerfs as it is very easy to use and everyone can make use of its opness. There isnt nearly as many complaints as there was with the blunder which is crazy considering the heavys alone one shot players

GS is stupid and the best way to counter it right now is picking it up yourself.

Since 95% of the GS playerbase is trash as long as you have half a neuron you’d be beating them becouse you are using the same weapon.

Other than that we can just wait for nerfs of they ever come

might have to try this

I personally do not have an issue with it being in the game. I have never used it and will never use it in it’s current state for one sole reason. It is an ugly way oversized item.

Totally agree. But because of that, its a laugh to play. Just ridiculous entertainment. Like The Three Stooges.

You guys are silly. A single heavy is not enough to 1 shot someone even in light armor. I’m not arguing that the weapon doesn’t need tuning but there’s some very exaggerated claims going around here. I guess I should expect that in a thread called “remove the greatsword from the game”

Yeah in fact Whelps went 5 con and tried everything to get damage as high as a bow heavy headshot (which can 1 shot light under geared players) and wasn’t able to get any 1 shots. Kind of close on low con muskets but still no 1 shot.

ong it does though
