Please Remove Hard Light Screen Shake?

Above clip (which I have set to start at this topic) addresses this issue well. Dear Bungie, [b]Hard light is an awesome, amazing weapon[/b]. It is fun, it's cool, it looks incredible, and it has jaw-dropping stats. Also, laser beams. [b]That said, I rarely ever use it.[/b] Which is sad considering it's probably my all time favorite exotic. The reason I never use it, and almost never see anyone else using it, is the [b]horrendous screen shake[/b] tied to the gun. As it currently exists, [b]hard light is annoying to use[/b], and ineffective. [b]No gun should irritate a player as one of it's mechanics[/b]. The screen shake makes an otherwise great weapon a pain to use, and it would benefit the game to remove this mechanic from Hard Light. That said, I understand that Hard Light would probably become quite a bit more powerful than it really ought to be if the screen shake was removed. This can be resolved in a wide variety of ways, such as changing the base stats, removing the (near) infinite range from the exotic perk, or any of a number of other options. I understand finding a healthy balance for this weapon may well be difficult, but it seems a huge bummer that an exotic weapon that has been around since the very beginning of the game has never really shined. There have been several periods (including now) when it has been an alright weapon, but it has never stood out as a great weapon. Please, please remove the screen shake from Hard Light. Sincerely, someone who has always wanted to love hard light but never truly has [b]P.S. The attached vid is the PD review (most recent) of hard light, I've skipped to the section discussing this issue, which they cover very well, including a side by side comparison with an AR of the same impact class with less stability and recoil direction, that nonetheless has much better recoil. Section on screen shake ends at 3:38[/b]

  • Anyone that argues the "Screen Shake" is justified to balance the supposed OPness of NDF forgot that the thing DOES have falloff - just a Pre-Y2 Range value that never got changed. Its Exotic perk randomizes the hell out of each bullet that Bounces off things. Even with near Max Stability the thing has a solid bullet pattern most don't even try to reach with outside close TO mid range. Eliminating the "Screen Shake" worries people to the point of "Headshotting across the map" without any thought given as to "At best I COULD hit consistently (given actual gunskill on top of its chosen stability) UP TO MID RANGE and about abit further with some luck." Hard Light is possibly one of the coolest guns in the game. Every time you fire it you sometimes cannot help but think it should have also done Arc damage as well. The semantics of it all mean nothing though, unless Bungie themselves makes an official statement about it going forward. So yea; Imo the "Screen Shake" does need to be removed, and that as all.
