So what's the point of Infinity mode if the Party Variants are weaker?

This new patch has made the Party variants weaker than most variants in the same class.

So I'm trying to understand why they nerfed them, because shouldn't they be promoting infinity mode and giving you a reason to do it?

With the constant crashes, bugs and tedious grind and still not guaranteed a Legendary piece at 25k shards this mode really needs some attending to.

I can understand the party variants being nerfed if infinity mode was made easier, but that simply isn't the case here. It's still quite boring to do and gives you less of a reward now.

Personally I know once I have finished unlocking all the Party variants I won't ever be playing this mode again.

  • Party variant got nerfed because they were pretty much superior to basic at every ways for most of them. Having a variant that completely outclass a another is just a no-no in a balancing standpoint.

  • Exactly why Legendary variants should of only of been rare in name, not have some extra ability. Ofc they will be nerfed since they would be OP because of it.

    This was just logical.

    Now you have to go through such an annoying mode, which is nothing like the source material which you paid to play. It would of been much more fun to get them through Crazy mode Flag of Power or something. However it is what it is and they failed to make this mode interesting and the reward is much worse than before.

    I can't wait to be done with it.

    Party variants are meant to be different not stronger than all the other character in general. For example, computer scientist has crunch mode which is a very nice feature that rewards getting on a kill streak by enabling a thermal view alongside increased speed and hp. However, its primary weakness is its fire rate, lack of aoe capacity, and the fact that it is high risk high reward class. This doesn't change the fact that it is still very much a viable character if not oped in the right hands.

    My point being that you should be wanting any variant to domiant one another because you'll end up with another rose situation where people just monopolize on one class and nothing else. This leads to people complaining on forums and ultimately a migration away from multiplayer overall. 

    Anyways that's just my view on things, have a good day.

  • The only reason I want the Party variants now is for completion sake.

    However with infinity mode being tedious, buggy as all hell and quite the mess they can wait.

    Party variants are weaker now than the normal variants. If you are going to nerf them this bad, why even have them at all?

    I expect future Legendary variants to be more unique than the party variants. Also I'm only talking about the Party variants being obsolete, the more interesting variants like the Computer Scientist are how Legendaries should be if you are going this route.

    Like you I definitely don't want to see OP characters, I'm just trying to understand why you have IT characters this boring to get and now pretty weak.

    It's just like I said before, now you have to do the same thing for less reward.

    Not say I won't keep grinding away at sometime jumping through the hoops to get these characters, because I like a challenge. However challenges should be difficult but fun, IT is not that bad to do, but it's ever so boring to do.
