Tell this ninja go -blam!- himself. Thwee mods have nothing to do with the game by shutting down legitimate complaints with half -blam!- excuses. Hey if your q ninja you should know your bosses xrappy excuses they give to you are less credible then customer support through India tell the lazy -blam!- developers to work not just clean up their poor executions

It’s because of this forum that the Nerf team is larger than the Buff team

It's nothing to do with priorities. There are different teams that work on different things. It's far easier for them to "fix" progress being earned too quickly versus carefully tuning a piece of equipment or a class. Generally speaking when they come down on something good in pvp quickly people rip them a new one anyway because it usually ends up being a heavy handed nerf. I'm assuming the reason they took care of the quick farm is because it involves old content that not every player can access. Meaning they'd feel forced to buy the deluxe addition. (Or at least that's how I feel about expunge showing up every now and then as a farm method.) Bungie doesn't really need to extend playtime because people already play this game for basically no reason for hours on end anyway. It's not like the rewards we get are anything super FOMO. Those usually end up being tied to the eververse if cosmetic.

Their priorities are to make you play longer and selling more dlcs/season pass, I don't really think that's weird, what's weird to me is that white knights just won't admit that

That's on the pvp kids, they started crying about it as soon as they heard it in the crucible 🤣🤣🤣

This is a "numbers" game. Player retention (aka make players keep playing the same content for as long as possible) is the TOP priority Bungie has on their list. Everything in Destiny is thought, designed, created, and tuned to achieve that goal, period! Whoever thinks that Bungie does things out of consideration for the players, is completely deluded.

We need a festival “NPC” mask already Someone needs to post a meme to Twitter or something “Play your way” BUT You must use bungie’s load outs You must use bungie’s subclass You must complete activities according to bungie’s timeframe You can not deviate from the script

Zero fun the game. What did you expect to happen.

The dull answer is that it is a lot easier to fix one thing than something as complex as a sandbox. The more interesting - to some of the nerds in the crowd anyway - aspect is that there is a larger game design question underlying the issue. For one, it is clear that Bungie are going hard on gamification (see Eyes of Tomorrow incremental odds accretion that was very well received by the community vs the Vex drop chance that did away with said mechanic), which basically means that anything that speeds things up and lessens dwell time (time spent on the platform) is fixed immediately. Suspect it is also tied to internal and external reporting (common in the industry). But the PvP sandbox can indeed be solved in a different way. Basically, one could theoretically nerf one thing at a time, thereby allowing for a controlled experiment of sorts. If one variable is tested, you get better feedback data and a quicker overall iteration process. When you make any number of changes at the same time, you have no idea of causation vs correlation or second order effects. Nerfing Shatterdive, for example, could be done by nerfing the ability itself, limiting Hunter movement, lowering overall Stasis crystal damage and so forth. Putting all the changes in at once ignores the core issue and often leads to the 'nerfing into the ground' balance issues the other way. And yes, I am certain that Bungie does this within their own play testing, but there is also a mahooosive difference of scale and emerging patterns at play here.

Telesto felt left out when bungie nerfed candy and pages , so it had to make itself heard .

To once again quote the great George Carlin: "[i]That is what is known as being [b]Stunningly[/b] & [u][b]EMBARRASSINGLY[/b][/u] full of -blam!-. [/i]'

Remember bungie is still trying to balance pve/pvp….. 2014 flawed system. They don’t make sense
