get a cutpurse then?^^
Whether itâs fun for you or not has nothing to do with it. Whether itâs boring for you or not has nothing to do with you either. The same excuse can be said by other players.
What I am saying is why exclude the Yellowcake from the nerf when other guns were nerfed? Now if youâre saying itâs fun, the guns that were nerfed were fun to other people as well.
Now if you are adamant in avoiding a nerf in Yellowcake, shouldnât you also insist to undo the nerfs on other guns? Be fair is all Iâm saying.

Um yeah. You canât one shot a boss with the yellow cake without properly aiming and knowing how to use it. I spent an hour and a half on Traunt trying to get a Kaoson with an anointment - I think the average was three shots. The launchers have a small ammo pool, if you had to empty the pool to kill a boss than itâs worthless. Also I have a 2x version, with a 150% extra radiation when on 50% health on Zane with as much movement bonus as I can get.
With a cutpurse I can effectively use it as much as I want, but the real issue here is the lack of options at the moment. Letâs fix that first?

Can you give an example that were relevant in their time?
How are those examples relevant to the current state of the game? Are you saying if we remove the nerf on other guns, it would change the meta?
i dont know where there are so few options when you can potentially 1 shot a boss and if not, 3 shot him.
i am probably just not used to such gameplay and i dont demand it
bosses are bosses for me and i dont enjoy them when they die in 2 seconds
Is NoPewPew the new Yellowcake now? I donât get the comparison

Life isnât fair. Thatâs all I have to say. You want fair go play something else. Iâm waiting for it to be nerfed but my original point is it still takes more skill to use than the ion cannon which makes it also more fun than the ion cannon.
Why not have the flood do 30k damage so itâs fair? Or all purple launchers do insane damage so itâs fair? Donât ever bring that word into any discussion cause itâs a gross way to try to cut down other weapons. Now if you talked about being the ion cannon back the to it la former glory ok, but saying to cut one down because the other is hater talk.
Even though I get where you coming from especially if you were a fan of the IC and this is just my opinion.

thats not a personal discussion where its about pushing each other down o.o
its about balance between tools that are supposed to perform similar in a game o.o

Sure life isnât fair but that doesnât mean you canât be logical. You already said life isnât fair and you want me to play something else. Illogical.
Yellowcake takes more skill to use than the IC? They are both simple to use. What kind of high level skill do you need with YC vs IC?

Nerfs make games unpopular and lead to attrition. They are rarely necessary, and in the case of YC, I donât think a nerf is necessary. If you think YC is too powerful, there are over a billion options you can choose from to make it more powerful.
Also, if a game company is going to nerf something, use a referendum. After all, the customer is always right.

Iâve seen this happened multiple times and GBX has dropped nerfs before. So probably their data shows it doesnât make their game less popular?
Stand too close and try to one shot traunt Iâll wait⌠stand to far and try Iâll wait. The ion cannon performed the same regardless unless you were TOO close then you blew yourself up. The YC requires more. Is it stupid OP yes but you can fail at your âone shotâ if you donât know what your doing.

Isnât the whole point of a rocket launcher to be devastating? Iâve hated the rocket launchers in BL3 and so have my kids. We all just pass up or sell all rocket launchers we find. Until now, there hasnât been a good one. Iâm running on Mayhem 8 and I can one shot some baddies, but not bosses, baddasses, or armored up enemies. I run Amara and the Yellowcake has been a great add to my guns. I love it for tight situations. Itâs a viable weapon and itâs great. If you can one shot a boss with it, great! Most players wonât do that. We like the challenge. Besides, limited ammo, high risk of self death when using it, the needing to place shots just right to get the heavy hits makes it a great weapon. I would like to see all rocket launchers get a buff, but that wonât happen, so donât nerf the one good one.

Well Iâm using two different Yellowcakes right now farming Traunt at M10 using M8 versions 32k x 2 and 33k ASA 75%.
Iâm not 1 shotting him , I have to strip his shield with Cutsman / Hellshock and then it still takes 5 or 6 shots dealing with the heat and reduced mobility to take him down.
If using perks / specific gear etc to set up a one shot kill then thatâs fine and nothing to do with the weapon or any weapon being OP.

itâs not about which Mayhem level for some people. Itâs about enjoying specific weapons. I can kill things with an OPQ. But it would be boring if that was the only weapon I used. Same with the YC. Itâs fun to use. Sometimes. Why take that pleasure away from people?
I think a lot of this talk about balance is naive. If the YC was nerfed GBX wouldnât necessarily do anything to anything else so all the other balancing issues you are talking about will still be there. So your own gaming experience will remain exactly as before, whereas other people will no longer be able to enjoy the YC experience. How does that benefit anyone?

Agree with most of your post but just wondered if youâve ever tried the Scourge? Itâs not half bad when used correctly
well, i am actually advocating for balancing in general
i would also nerf the O.P.Q, i would also nerf the kaoson, i would also nerf the plague bearer
i just dont feel like mayhem 10 should be that easy to kill
after that GBX guy said ââ â â â â gonna be realâ
its not

then your specific issue is with mayhem 10 and not the weapons. Think about it: isnât it just a little self centred to want to nerf all these guns for other players just so you can feel better about M10? Maybe you should be petitioning for an M20 instead of taking things away from others?

a few weapons are acting like that
other weapons are not even able to tickle bosses in mh10
its a balance issue
why are you trying to prevent people from having a hard mode?
mh10 is the highest
if you want me to ask for mh20
why cant mh10 just be harder and you play mh5? its also the half
As folks have continuously said, if it bothers you that much, donât use it. Why do we need to remove other players options right now when there are so few that work?
We are both free to use or not use it, once balancing is better and there are more options that can handle M10 and are dropping more consistently then we can have this conversation, right now I think itâs selfish and kind of cruel to nerf the yellow cake or any weapon.
I am not saying you are off base or are crazy, it probably is a little too strong, but I think itâs not the time to try and fix it. GBX should fix every thing else first, drop rates, proper M10 gear dropping in M10, making sure our old favorites can work on M10, etcâŚ
