New hotfix, main changes detailed

Main things to take from this are auto rifle nerfs and scout rifle buffs. The templar 'sniping rock' no longer exists. So please, stop being children and face the templar like a real guardian. If you can't beat him the way you're supposed to, don't do it.... And really... is it that hard? Discuss as you find new information on the topic Update active Oct 14th. destiny_vault_of_glass Destiny players are more than capable of taking down the Templar, the Vault of Glass’s first major boss, the way Bungie intended. It’s a stressful encounter, though, and many prefer to cheese it by clustering on a far away platform and sniping. For most of the battle, the Templar’s attacks can’t reach players; there’s no need to worry about harpies; and because everyone is together, it’s safe to let the Oracles sing on and cleanse regularly instead. Sadly, Bungie has decided this will not do, and has made small changes to the encounter ensuring you’ll have to do it the hard way. You can read the full patch notes below. Although we’re still waiting for the Exotic rebalance, the update nerfs auto rifles and shotguns; buffs scout rifles; and fiddles with the Vex Mythoclast, reducing damage but making headshots much more dangerous. Also, no more Fallen farming in the Rocketyard. Here’s the skinny, direct from Bungie.net.
