Finally things are being properly balanced.
- Auto Rifles are being restored to about where they should be rather than being useless
- G-Horn finally receives the nerf that it has needed since launch
- Hand-Cannons are being nerfed so that other weapons become viable again
- Thorn can no longer be the crutch that it was for lazy people in PvP
- Shotguns being brought back to where they should have been all along rather than being the 1 hit nukes that they had been made into.
Honest to god I have not been this happy at Destiny news in ages. It finally seems like they are actually taking the game seriously and are going to start properly balancing the game.

3 RepliesNerfing hand cannons doesn't make other other weapons viable, just means all weapons will suck now

2 RepliesEdited by IamInsane69: 7/17/2015 5:10:56 PMTerrific simply terrific. Thank you bungie, for completely dividing your community further then I even thought possible. As someone who once viciously adored and protected this game from anyone who spoke Ill of it, I see now that you truly are incapable of successfully making the right choices when it comes to this game. For every 1 step forward you make (the auto rifle buff that has been needed since the dawn of the pulse rifles rebirth) you take 4 miles backward(messing with snipers, rocket launchers ect.) and the whole hawkmoon thing just negates its exotic status horribly. I could reroll red hand and turn it into a better gun now, so what's the purpose of owning the gun anymore? It's like you take all the good things that the fans tell you to do, you violently just crap all over. And all the opinions that would steer the game into a horrid direction, you embrace with open arms. I'm glad I stopped playing your game, because I've seen how it's turned good friends into the worst enemies due to pure elitism and loot drops. And don't even get me started on trials, dear god, it's like you want people to hate each other with a fiery passion. I can't see how this can be defended by any fan of this game, because this game isn't the same one I fell in love with last year during its beta. It's a hollow shell of that, a shell filled with over expectations and dreams of a game that could have very well contended with the likes of WoW. Deej and his royal guard, I feel bad for you. I'm done with this game, and anyone who asks me about it will hear an earful from me.

1 ReplyOnly good thing Auto Buff

They are also nerfing PRs and FRs. And you are a idiot

3 RepliesThe thing is... The regular hand cannons were already fine. Pulse rifles were fine, autos needed a slight buff, shotguns maybe a slight spread adjustment... The big problem was time to kill of a select few exotic weapons. They really did nothing to change that. Thorn actually got buffed. You do one third of the old dot per application of mark of devourer but it now stacks 5 times. It will likely still two shot but the clincher is that a tiny dot will still keep your shield down. The last word may be harder to use now from the description but I'm betting it's going to be absolutely beastly to just hip fire it. Even stronger and more accurate than before. All they changed on Hawkmoon is made it so you don't get a triple stack of lucky procs and gave you more ammo. Hardly a nerf, what was it a 3000:1 chance of a triple proc anyway?

5 RepliesLoved that they nerfed thorn in pvp but boosted it in pve, perfect way to handle the gun since its so hard for most to compete it's bounty. Loved the auto rifle boost they should've never messed with them to begin with. And now the necro will truly be worth using, and I always thought hard light was a cool gun now it'll have some use too. That's all I have to say for positive thoughts. Everything else they did makes me not even care to play anymore. Nerfing gjorn was a huge smack in the face to the elite pve crowd and a crybaby move because bungie is tired of seeing their bosses get melted by a team full of gjally. Then they make black hammer pretty much useless. The only reason to use it was in certain situations for infinite ammo no reload. And then they killed my favorite pvp gun hawkmoon. Smh I guess I needed this wake-up call and it's time to finally move on. Been a good run and I had a ton of fun playing. Glad I didn't buy taken king I'd of been really disappointed in wasting $40. Now I can move on to real games with real story lines that don't have a developer that has to constantly adjust things to their liking. MGS5, Batman, fallout, halo 5 just to name a few here I come, so long bungie.

1 ReplyEdited by OurWildebeest: 7/17/2015 11:13:49 PMThis post is from a PvE perspective. I play PvP rarely and unsuccessfully. :) If Icebreaker will generate a round every eight seconds instead of every five seconds, you should at least be able to pick up special. Six in the magazine, ~15+ total reserve, like every other sniper. As for Black Hammer ... Why? Just, why? It is OP in a few special cases, but only vs PvE stationary bosses. No need to mess with it. I would rather have a big magazine, say 8 rounds, and drop the perk entirely if I have to pull from reserves anyway. I don't mind the Gjallahorn nerf in theory. I have a bunch of exotic weapons I rarely use (including Icebreaker!) because Gjallahorn is too good not to equip. But if you only nerf and don't buff anything to compensate (auto rifles do not compensate), and what used to take 30-90 seconds now becomes a long slog ... Right or wrong, you are going to alienate people. Not every gun needs to be perfectly balanced. You can have an "elite" tier and those can be clearly superior, maybe not as much as today, but you don't need to nerf to the point Black Hammer is no better than LDR, for example. I wonder if there will be new OP TTK weapons?

Thank you for nerfing black hammer.

4 RepliesOnly thing I disagree with it shotguns. If you read the first bullet of Bungies you'll never newest and. But you think shot guns should be NOT be one shit kills? GTFO.

Well legendary hand cannons weren't that good in crucible, range nerf was needed not magazone
