The real worrying message Bungie is sending.

With this upcoming hot fix people are either going to love the patch or hate it, which isn't something that is unusual. In my opinion the VM was overpower and I don't think you will find many people arguing about that and that a hot fix in some way was necessary to address it. However, I do feel they nerfed it too much especially when it comes to the PvE side and it doesn't stand out as much. You can almost say the same thing about the Autorifle hot fix, however with that fix it makes another popular weapon much weaker that is Atheon's Epilouge now they didn't mention it by name, but 99% of us knew, which weapon this patch is going to effect the most. But other autorifles will feel the same power reduction Now with those fixes it will please the PvPer's and I would say a majority of them didn't have the VM, but almost 90% of the people used Autorifles. So it is a patch that should effect everyone equally to a certain extend unless your are a AE or VM user. Now with these two hot fixes a really bad pattern is starting to appear from Bungie and most people will know that is that it is catering to the PvP guys, which is a worrying sign. Go back 18 days and one thing we will all see is the the constant debate around the Suros Regime obviously that debate completely disappeared some two weeks ago and why is that? Simply put they patched the gun with out patching it by just making it readily available to everyone through Xur thus effectively fixing it by succumbing to the pressure of the community. Now comes the juicy part you see you can't buy or get Atheons Epilogue or the VM through engrams. No you can only get them through playing/completing the Raid, Destiny's only end game part. By effectively nerfing/taking the guns power, because of PvPer's Bungie has completely given into the PvPer's for a second time in in less then a month. Instead of actually encouraging the PvPer's to raid and actually play their end game content, because of the rewards that await them for playing/completing it with better and more powerful guns they simply gave into the PvPer's. Now their can only be one explanation and that is that PvP is their main concern at this point and need to keep those guys happy as they are the much more vocal community, while PvEr's simply are getting the bad end of the deal. This could very easily mean that the PvE aspect of the game is dying and the bigger problem for the people still playing PvE including myself is that once the PvPer's end up leaving for AS:U and CoD we will be left with patches that we didn't want as they didn't improve our gameplay.

  • "PvErs"? How many people play and only play PvE in Destiny? I feel sorry for those who fit in that category simply because your replaying the same few strikes over and over again every week, every day. You get cool new gear and then you go use it on the SAME strikes and the same single raid currently available. Testing your new gear against other players is something i believe most people find more satisfying, as illustrated by the general feeling of disappointment toward Iron Banner being more balanced than advertised this past week. Most people will play both PvP and PvE. I don't believe many players fit into a PvE only box as they are playing half of the game. Also, players who do alot of PvP are likely going to fall into the more "hardcore" gamer audience to some extent. It's that audience that tends to stick around for more than a few months to keep a game's online community alive. Other gamers will simply switch to other newer games as they come out that arn't even in competing genres. PvP also had the most issues IMO. So im not surprised that the updates lately have been addressing PvP more. Im sure more patches will be out soon to address PvE. Especially as more PvE content becomes available. I wouldn't worry. Bungie is working incredibly hard to address issues and bring new content, especially compared to their Halo games. I really only see this game getting better the longer its out. That anticipation is definitely one of the things that will keep me around for a while.
