So, get this. For ten fucking years, components required 80% of their quality in skill. And then Styg, being the joyless Serbian fuck that he is, decides he doesn't like everyone running around with high tier equipment in the final third of the game. So he ups the requirement to 112%

This isn't even getting into him nerfing the weakest and most spread out builds in the game while leaving grug mind AR or sniper or even crossbow untouched

I was okay about the psi update. Yeah, it was kind of absurd. But he was going to add new psi abilities so people would use more than just the usual ones.

And then he proceeded to add the most nothing abilities ever after limiting you to just 8-9. The niche ones he wanted you to use more became ones you never fucking used because why would you? And he added nothing for half a decade.

I never played old Stellaris, my experience with it was limited to pirating it around the time espionage became a thing and again just recently to see if they ever made it not suck (they didn't)
Stellaris is so cringe because it's just hundreds of dogshit irrelevant systems piled on top of eachother
>Espionage
Who cares
>Politics
Who cares
>Unity in general
Who FUCKING cares

There's so many instances of this and it pisses me off so much because their retarded audience is fine with dozens and dozens of half baked shitty systems with no depth or relevance in the slightest because everyone is fine with just LARPing some single player experience full of illusions of choice against braindead bots instead of any having literally any standards of design

Old crafting, old psi, and all the new shit that is actually good instead of just a fucking nerf or another needless change would be so nice.

I literally get filtered by the deep caverns every time. It's like everything good about the game is just suddenly gone. Also it is clearly going for a spoopy "hidden / almost nobody has seen this" vibe but it's just lame as fuck. Oh no - slugs, weird plant monster things and cthulhu from Temu.

Styg is a retarded boomer so he obfuscated the code because he hates mods. It's an XNA game, so modding would already be easy as fuck (Mono/C# can easily be decompiled to be human-readable, patched, and recompiled since it's IL).
Apparently he has lightened up a bit around them recently, tho.

Melee was the most effort-intensive and self-gimping style build anyone could've made. Your only resistance bypass was expose weakness. And now it has a longer cooldown, doesn't work on the one enemy you'd want to use it against, and you can't hit as many times if you went all in on dex because fuck you

This is why I don't like games being constantly updated. I beat this game 3 times, pre psi nerf, after psi nerf and after heavy duty. And now the game has changed again, so it feels like I didn't really beat it.

No, actually. The difficulty of dominating was just enemies hitting harder and having more health. The changes Styg made ensures melee fags will have to create a weapon specifically to circumvent the ridiculous mechanical resistance of enemies now that Expose Weakness is practically useless. And he just nerfed crafting too

Styg evokes the Joe Biden in me.

Crafting had been gradually getting easier and easier with updates so increasing the requirements isn't that out there.
At launch the only way to boost crafting skills were the house bonuses and junkyard surprise giving +int. Now we have engineer suit, and technomedic exoskeleton, and remote control glove, and boning knife, and Tchort belts, and underrpie/Jon's special, and SGS tattoo. And an extra five levels for another 200 skill points. And some other items that boost other skills that can free up points if you need more crafting. It's gotten so much easier to make everything. The game needed a change.
>>
>>734525526
wow maybe instead of raising the requirements HE SHOUlDN'T HAVE FUCKING GIVEN SO MANY YOU GODDAMN FUCKING MORON

Only the electro skill bonus matters out of all the ones listed. Bio has such a low and early softcap. You can only find the endgame bio ingredients in the literal last area of the game

>How come my mentally challenged low int character is struggling building pocket nuclear reactor out of scraps and mushrooms? Curse you Styg-sama and your vile Serbian machinations!
Pathetic. Here, this is how it's done, plonker: 12 int, barely any investment into crafting. Energy chads can't stop winning. Also, I don't get what you are upset about. There is barely any actual difference in stats between 150 and 170 quality parts where the jump in requirements spikes. It feels rewarding and natural getting some kind of reward for improving intelligence, no matter how miniscule it is.

Never played before now, is psy good for a first time or should I ignore it? I kind of want to use it.

Play on legacy with pre-fucked psi if you want to experience psi in its full glory. It was legit the most fun magic system i've ever seen in a CRPG before the idiot dev raped it and sucked all the fun into it to turn into yet another flavour of instagibbing crit builds.

I checked some things and if you use 145 quality tungsten you can hit 93% mech DR (not 95% but I think I could hit that with higher quality padding, and it's close enough anyway) for 193 mechanics requirement. 193 is a lot but it's not impossible. Even a 3 int guy can hit that as long as you stack house bonus+Jon's special+hypercerebrix, and it only needs level 29 so not even max level. If your guy isn't a dumbass you can get that level lower too of course. So the nerf didn't make it impossible, it just meant you have to spend more skill points on it. Which is bad but not that bad.
>>
>>734515215
why cant this retard move on, game already finished, just unlock modding and leave difficulty autists to mods
>>
>>734527425
>only needs level 29 so not even max level.
ah yes
a level below the max level
>>
>>734527616
I mean if you're going with 3 int you shouldn't expect to be good at crafting. Imagine playing with 3 per and trying to use guns and being like why am I missing all the time??? You can do the int equivalent of that and it still actually works. You just need to be really high level.
>>
maybe you shouldn't make Int a dumpstat and this wouldn't be an issue?
>>
>>734527787
he added two new feats
both aren't very reasonable, costing a lot of stat points and a feat
meanwhile, con remains the premier dump stat
>>
>even with crafting nerf, a retard can still make endgame gear
then what was the point of it?
WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT?!
>>
>>734528072
Tedium.
It's the reason he gave as to why he turned psi into arcanist casters from pathfinder.
So it would be as tedious as the other classes
