To be honest, I think it's a good thing to rebalance it. But of course, it should have been done the other way around, buffing the others and from there increasing difficulty once every character have been adjusted. More works yes, but more fair for Zurg users. But, in my opinion, Zurg was destroying the game. A lot of people I've seen quitting the game before were like "I don't have fun in those events, to easy, rapid fire Zurg, done." when without Zurg it wasn't always that easy but game revolved around him being that powerhouse and people stopping because it wasn't interesting. And the same happened with every new character. Even so they were good, I saw most people saying "Zurg is better, all they do is shitty characters.". And of course raid helped with that by pushing people to level up more guardians, but Zurg was really hurting the game in my opinion and from a long shot. But again, what game developpers should have done and never do : Buff the others, don't nerf. But well...
What they should do is reasonable play testing and pay attention to their game. There’s no way they’re not aware of how strong he’s been since release much less the last 7 months if they’re to be believed he’s been bugged since the august 16th update. But they didn’t announce an issue they were working on or fix it in a timely manner, they used his power to bait purchases from people. They’ve had complaints about the same thing in mcoc for years
After 7 months it’s a nerf. As someone that played mcoc for a couple years, I can say with certainty it does not take kabam 7 months to do “corrections”
Thank you for covering this nerf and explaining it's impact with a larger lens than some may initial view this event. I think it's nuts that this unintended 'mistake' has been active in game since 1.2. But it did help Kabam's bottom line a good bit with a fair portion of the player base attempting to upgrading this turret of a character.
Honestly, I left the game a few weeks ago and my top (and favourite) guardian had always been Zurg. I've invested so much in his character but I guess after this news I really won't be coming back for a long time lol.
Now I can actually be finally glad I got banned for using bluestacks to make videos about this game. I would quit at this moment anyway. It took them three months to realise I used BS to ban me, now they took eight to find out Zurg is REALLY so strong. Meanwhile Ian has still completely nonsensical talents that are not stackable, while the description says he has limit at ten stacks (kabams response was - it would break the game, so why is the description even there - and they said they had something for Ian in store months ago). Now its time to nerf Mickey, I think he made enough money too and he has the best heals, doesnt he? Instead of buffing all other rangeds to actually do more dmg and be more useful overall (its a single player game for god sake, it wont break any pvp), they do this instead. You cant even use this guy on late rift guardians and one rift is completely zurg free. Have fun trying to nuke Maleficent or even other guardians you could kill with him on time, if his dmg got halved.
I'm kind of frustrated because he is my top range guardian at 5 star 90. I don't have a lot of stuff leveled up so he carries the team. We'll lets see what happens
How can you cry over Zurg's nerf, when he still has double DPS on Gaston... I really want an explanation for your frustration because I don't understand
I’m definitely not crying over it. It doesn’t affect me as I don’t use Zurg. I’m frustrated FOR the community and those who spend thousands on Zurg just for him to get nerfed 7 months later. I know kabam. I’ve been playing MCOC (a kabam game) for 8 years. I know how they operate and how badly they mess up. This is nothing new. Its moved from mcoc to mirrorverse. This is much deeper then just zurg for lots of players

Difficulty adjustment on content after buffing everyone else. Isn't the final effect the exact same thing except we'll wind up with enormous numbers?
I personally find it a good thing. I don't have Zurg and I see people only using him and it makes the game boring. Its not a nerf its a correction.
@Brandon Borradaile yup. I don't need a cheat code to play the game.

@@Jthanson88 yea its ridiculous 🙄
@@Jthanson88 moleman?
@@Jthanson88as someone who plays mcoc, it definitely takes kabam 7 months to do a correction

Exited to hear your thoughts
