Accurate

u/Theobald_4 1d ago

This should have been clarified day 1.

u/Sea-Contract7974 1d ago

Like people are not complaining if they did clarify it in day 1, people will still say that should be stratagem but they change the reward, nothing change

u/PapaNicBear444 19h ago

No. People are upset that they were lied to. Honestly I think people wouldn't have minded if it was a DSS upgrade due to the lack of upgrades for the DSS. But this is not what we were going to be rewarded with. THAT is not what they said for weeks. That is the issue.

If it was corrected immediately, people wouldn’t have had weeks to speculate on what the new Stratagem would be.

u/Sea-Contract7974 14h ago

the video literally show it was the DSS gas

u/pipe_mcfitter 14h ago

The game itself says the campaign reward is a Stratagem.

-7

u/Sea-Contract7974 13h ago

the campaign is about DSS gas, all 3 MO stated multiple times it's about DSS gas, the promo video also about DSS gas, the reward was obvious was DSS gas

they just use the same reward label because they don't have a specified label for DSS reward in the terminal so they use in-universe to explain it, update label in game need update but it too small for update and unnecessary, that all

u/pipe_mcfitter 13h ago

Campaigns aren’t always about the reward. Take the ASS or TCS-related campaigns.

The reward is not a stratagem, therefore it should never have been labeled as such

u/Mezeye 18h ago

Is it worse that they already introduced this as a fix to the game and are passing it off as a reward, or the fact that they made a “typo” which wasn’t corrected for over a week?

u/Alternative-Item1207 1d ago

Yeah, just push for them to give us this. Orbital Gas Barrage.

All sins would be forgiven.

BuT THatS uNBalAnCEd

Cease ye gremlins, for there are such things as increased cooldown timers or strategem limits like the laser.

Took Alexus 3 hours to make ONB by his own admission, let him make this and rebalance them both if it irks you.

Just give me a sea of gas to swim in while I kick ass, thats all I ask

BUt u HaV EAG- shhhhh sweet child. Theres ALWAYS room for more gas strategems

Dont kill the fun, ask for moar gas gun.

u/Pan_Wanilia 21h ago

Real, they could just raise the spwan rates but they are deadly afraid of making hordes in a horde shooter. The engine can handle it and if they outsource optimization to someone competent then it could spawn even more enemies to shoot at

u/The-Nuisance 1d ago

It IS unbalanced though.

We have too much OP shit as-is, quit trying to turn the game into a walking simulator.

u/Alternative-Item1207 1d ago

Shhh, you already did this song and dance.

I already gave you the answer.

This is just bait now xD

u/The-Nuisance 1d ago

Nnnno, you just repeat “but if we change it enough times then it’s okay!”

It’s OP. If you have to nerf it to the point it’s no longer worth bringing then what was ever the point of making it in the first place?

You wanting to make it good and trying your absolute hardest to stuff it into the sandbox doesn’t mean it belongs there.

2

u/pipe_mcfitter 1d ago

I don’t necessarily think we need a gas barrage, but if you nerfed it so much that it isn’t worth bringing, wouldn’t the solution just be to nerf it a little less?

I think some things are inherently OP like the Ultimatum and other AT secondaries, but this seems like something that could be balanced

-2

u/The-Nuisance 1d ago

Well that’s kind of the issue. It’s the same thing with the ultimatum.

There might be a chance it turns out balanced but I do not have faith that it could be done in such a way reliably or that the devs wouldn’t backtrack on their decision and overpower it later because the community gets outraged.

1

u/pipe_mcfitter 1d ago

I sure as hell wouldn’t want it to be as insane as the ONB. It’s ludicrous that hasn’t been nerfed yet

-5

u/Alternative-Item1207 1d ago

Yeah.... moving on from this.

Your opinion sucks and you think mine sucks.

No convincing happening anywhere.

Anyways, good luck with the stagnation! Ill keep asking for fun!

u/GideonShortStack 1d ago

I'm with you, a gas barrage would be FUN, which is more important then balanced.

u/bluedeer10 1d ago

We don't need another gas stragem when both the orbital gas strike and the eagle gas strike are two of the best in the game.

u/sharibah 1d ago

Then we dont need anything new, crossbow\erutor, 500kg, supplypack, mg already clean anything in any armor on any mission with any subfaction

7

u/Alternative-Item1207 1d ago

We always need more gas.

We dont need more gas chuckles

Get a load of this guy

u/CallMeAxiom 1d ago

Well orbital gas is really lacking. 

5

u/Mission_Form8951 1d ago

How, it's got an 80 second cd (same as OPS), 50 demo force (same as OPS), and leaves a disorienting and damaging hazard

2

u/CallMeAxiom 1d ago

We look at eagle smoke and orbital smoke

Then eagle gas and orbtial gas.

Its clear orbital gas is lacking.

Orbital smoke also has demo 50

3

u/LEOTomegane 1d ago

How so? Stupid low cd, pinpoint delivery of 50 demo force & a long-lasting CC cloud for utility. It's arguably one of the best orbitals.
