I Went To Lose Gaming - Nalette Nerf and Rollback Update

Introduction

• Welcome message from the channel IWTL Gaming.
• Announcement of bad news regarding the character Nalette in Genshin Impact.

Update from Hoyse

• Hoyse released an update that nerfed Nalette, causing issues in the game.
• Announcement of a rollback due to the mistake by Hoyse.
• Hoyse is providing 1,600 Primogems as compensation to players due to this mistake.

Details on Nalette's Nerf

• Original state: Nalette could move and rotate his laser at high speeds using a technique called 'Spin to Win' by increasing the mouse DPI.
• Comparison: Spin speed prior to version 4.8 (version 4.7) vs post-patch (version 4.8).
• Impact: Spin to Win made Nalette very powerful, particularly against spread-out enemies.

Patch Notes and Player Feedback

• Hoyse addressed this nerf in version 4.8 patch notes, calling it an issue of “unusually high speed” rotation during charge attacks.
• Criticism: Hoyse should have addressed this earlier since the community has long known about it.
• Post-nerf: Players can't exploit Spin to Win, diminishing Nalette's effectiveness.
• Some bugs and unintended mechanics like the Abyss 12 timer cheat still remain.

Hoyse's Communication and Response

• Many players pulled Nalette, partly because of his Spin to Win ability.
• Hoyse’s claim: They weren’t aware until recently, but the community and even some beta testers knew much earlier.
• Players' reactions: Mixed responses to the rollback announcement.
• Compensations: Hoyse to provide 1,600 Primogems, but no timeline on when the changes will be reverted.

In-Game Analysis

• Gameplay Comparisons: Spin-to-win vs regular playthrough.
  • Spin-to-win enabled version: More efficient against enemies.
  • Post-nerf: Gameplay becomes more clunky and less effective.
• Contextual Impact: Additionally more difficult to perform high-speed rotations on different devices like mobile and PlayStation.

Conclusion

• Hoyse promises to be more cautious with future updates and changes.
• Speculation: The rollback might have been expedited due to backlash from Chinese players and potential legal worries.
• Open discussion in comments: Audience input appreciated.
• Signing off with hope for quick resolution.
