[@jordanlmartell]

Got to give you a shoutout for great gameplay! You were straight up brawling!

[@EtherbotGaming]

@@jordanlmartell thanks man!!

[@Jaan-Gaming-AA]

Very good information for bastion lovers 🎉

[@EtherbotGaming]

@Jaan-Gaming-AA yea, hopefully next bastion is a tank class and has a really good ability

[@Cyanoutthere]

Damn it does no dmg at your level, we really need the tungsten rod weapon that someone suggested in the discord

The maelstrom received more than 15% nerf in damage. They initially nerf the weapon 17% in damage with a minus 50% reload fire rate. Now it has an additional 15% more which will lead to the weapon going from 7400 to around 5300. This should be able to finally fix the weapon allowing for a more balance gameplay .

[@MaximusLegionGames]

so basically maelstrom is getting around a 32% damage nerf with a 50% fire rate reduction.

[@EtherbotGaming]

@MaximusLegionGames ohhh, so it's both, ok, I thought it was just the damage nerf, but that sounds a lot better bc -15% damage didn't sound like enough

[@BryanLow-x2z]

They should add something like the auto cannon like in warrobots the molot

[@MaximusLegionGames]

Last detail is that deadbolts now will have less ammunition but it does the damage of what it would do with the other ammunition combine. So from lvl 1 through 8 they have one bullet but it has the damage aprox of 2.5 bullet. But then at level 9 you gain an extra bullet with a 4000 even higher than magnum 3600. Now cooldown for last test server it is 6 seconds instead of 8 but once you unlocked the second bullet you have a 2 second delay between shots. We will see what will be the final version of the deadbolts once the update comes out.

[@EtherbotGaming]

@MaximusLegionGames sounds awesome, I heard a lot of people saying they wanted that for deadbolt. Do you know any other balance changes that will be made for this upcoming update?

[@MaximusLegionGames]

@@EtherbotGaming lance shots are tighter and faster, wisp when from 350 to 200. And then what was in the description of the test server.

[@EtherbotGaming]

@@MaximusLegionGames thanks

I like the style of the new Bastion flyer. It is just too slow. Wish you could hit a button to fly higher or auto-elevate just high enough to peek over the cover. You are a flyer. If you wanted a hovercraft then make that. It's a drone. I fly drones and they are fast. I love aircraft and work in that industry. They are meant to be fast, and mobile. Even gunships. Also, lower the weapon mounts into the chasey. They visually stick up too much. This would give it a more visually pleasing, aerodynamic, and centered look. It even looks top-heavy. As for the weapon changes. Could be heading in the right direction. Please do make meta weapons that take over the game later. Make different weapons that do different things. Creating new strategies that develop with them.

[@Cyanoutthere]

The suppressors really need a big buff, 350m range is good but 5% more dmg maybe not enough

[@EtherbotGaming]

@Cyanoutthere yea, they said they might buff it again, but buffs and nerfs aren't the main focus this update

[@MaximusLegionGames]

@@EtherbotGaming suppressors are just getting a temporary fix, until wizardo can come up with a different mechanics to the weapons. The reason why those weapon cannot continue going up in damage is because by design bastion weapon have to be weaker by at least a margin of 50% to the empyreal and even more to the hermits. So damage wise they are okay it is the process of delivery that is making this weapon underperformed.

[@RichardGeresGerbil]

​@MaximusLegionGames why weaker?

[@MaximusLegionGames]

@ why weaker? because of the faction design. Hermit are high damage output weakers in hp, empy are 50/50 and then bastion are higher hp or defense lower damage output.

[@RichardGeresGerbil]

@MaximusLegionGames but Bastions don't have higher HP and are weaker. They are the easiest to kill by far. All the other factions have healing either with shields or life steal and Bastion weapons are so underpowered they can't defend themselves. Hermits are tankier in the current meta with the exception of the Empyreal Paladin which can one shot and have an invulnerability shield every 20 seconds

[@limitraven7173]

Yeah can agree Deadbolt isn t the best sniper weapon I have seen

[@Cyanoutthere]

I leveled up orkans but tbh, Maelstroms are better

[@EtherbotGaming]

@Cyanoutthere maelstrom is getting a -15% damage nerf, but there is still gonna be really good, Also, one of the devs said that the next update after this upcoming one will 100% blow our minds!!
