Please nerf sparrows; was on Venus walking around, when along came a sparrow and ran me over.

Speaker- I could tell you of a time when the tower was safe from balls....

We at Bungie have heard your concerns. We will NOT be nerfing the soccer ball as it is right in line with our intended numbers. We WILL however be removing a bug allowing the soccer ball to be kicked over the side of the tower. This is NOT how you will play our game. It was never the intent of the dev team to ever see the soccer ball removed from the tower. From here on out there will be a chain link fence stretching into the heavens to prevent such calamities from befalling our soccer ball forever more. Do not worry you will still be able to push others and jump to your death as we find it funny. Thank you.

Does anyone take this serious?? This is not a laughing matter!

Soccer is for -blam!-.

The same thing happened to me. I was minding my own business talking it up with the cryptarch ( he's a really nice guy once you get to know him) and I could hear kicking sounds behind me. I didn't think anything of it at the time, until I started hearing grunts, the sounds when someone dies. So i turned to the commotion to witness the soccer ball placed up on the fan, when it was shot up in the air another player timed it perfectly and was kicking it in mid air. This person had a mean kick and curve shot let me tell you. One by one bodies were dropping so I began to panic, trying to access my damn dinkleberry but he was hungover from the night before. I knew my time was coming next so I started to run for the lower level to my titan vangaurd, just as I got near the steps I was pegged at the back of my head and I went flying down the steps head first. My neck cracked upon impact and i was dead.... Just like that... Dead from a soccer ball. Something needs to change...

They need to add an iron banner version of the ball. It doesn't actually DO anything different, it just claims to...

The ball destroys immersion totally. Badass guardians running after a ball clapping hands. -blam!- this shit. Almost as bad as the first time I heard "There's a Wizard here." P.S. Would make a funny t-shirt actually.

That ball... I was having fun until the players found it and I order CoD and every other game I could because I'm not playing Destiny because it sucks when you die by a ball and then you die on the tower and you just have to respawn but its not that, it's the principle and then you die because of a ball when I have full raid gear and a mythoclast and an ice breaker and I can't put them on at the same time because that one time on crucible I tried to kill a guardian with a scout rifle but he was to close so he outgunned me with a shotgun so I wanted to nerf shotguns because it's stupid how a person that's that close can outgun a scout rifle so then I asked for the Bad JuJu buff because the gun is just as bad as it's name so I used a revolver but the thing is that I lost a thumb on the last war of light so I can't pull the hammer so I have to do like that one movie, D'Jango (the old school movie, the clip is below) where he uses his hands that are covered in band-aids to pull the trigger and he manages to kill people by using a tombstone to balance his weapon because a horse pwned his hands and that one mamasita he tried to run away was fine but I digress, the one time I did a strike and I saw Phogoth, I said, "He would look nice with a cowboy hat" so I decided to write a post and right as I was about to post it, someone else did because their internet connection was WAY op and Bungie needs to nerf it so that it runs as slow as mine (1000 KiBs) because I live on the woods and all of my electronics are made of wood laced with copper and then I did the raid and I tried to fly to the sniper platforms but they didn't let me, it said I had 4 seconds to get off or I would perish and I was like "But Bungie, didn't you say that I could go anywhere?" then Bungie never answered and Deej offered bad customer service at McDonalds so I got glass coming out of my poop and it hurt because there was this one time that I ate a donut, but it was too op so I had to nerf it with milk... The point is that the ball needs to be nerfed and the statement above is proof of this. [b]Sign the Petition![/b]

Lol

I was just going to email bungie about this...You've nerfed the Suros, Vex and even killed the loot cave and hidden our well covered spots in the raid. Now hear our cry for the nerfing of this weapon that will be the death of us all. Please fix this as quickly as you did all the other awful things that came before it. (End of long drag out sarcasm)

People, People... Please relax. I believe we have reached a happy compromise. After reading your concerns and requests; plus making one of my own, I took it upon myself to hide the dreadfully overpowered "Purple Menace" (aka: soccer ball w/ shader) within the mysterious recesses of the Tower. This leaves the slightly less overpowered Soccer Ball of Doom available for use and enjoyment by the more sadistic of us, while sparing the innocent the earth shattering devastation of the Purple Menace. Side Note: I am still formally requesting safety nets be added to the Tower in order to prevent me from falling to my death as I knowingly and willfully hop the guardrail in pursuit of the Soccer Ball of Doom. This has been a Public Service Message brought you by the Anti-Nerfing Association of Legend (ANAL). "ANAL, Ramming hard policies up the rears of whiners since 40,000 BC."

There's a ball that can kill you???!!! OMG I'm never going to the tower as long as there are rogue death balls see you all in orbit where it's safe

Hahah! The Tower is no place for mercy!

Bungie needs to get their mind out of the gutter and stop worring about PvP. How can I play this game when I don't even feel safe on the last safe haven on earth!?

Nerf plz. Too many times has it been kicked over the railing and completely destroyed my house at the base of the tower.
