Title sums up my point but I'll break it down further for those who care to read it.
I'm rapidly losing faith in bungie because of the obvious focus on the pvp side of things. (Which is fine, but stop ignoring your player base that doesn't enjoy the crucible). The only pve fixes in this update are pointless and bungie has failed [i]yet again[/i] to address the real problems with their current content...
The Vault of Glass on hard, which is the most challenging and intense form of content in destiny, is still almost entirely unplayable due to the game breaking bugs. Not to mention that the new patch that was rolled out today has reduced the frame rate of the gameplay (probably just a server strain issue). It sickens me that bungie can't even admit that there are major issues within the vault of glass. I'm so glad I decided not to pre order the dlc expansions at this point. I'm done getting excited about a new raid since they clearly can't fix the issues with the current one. Unless I see changes in the way the developers are updating this game soon, I will be forced to move on to something else. I have tried so hard to love what little we were given with destiny, but now I don't see the point.
In addition:
- still no buff to the thorn, bad juju, or vex mythoclast. (All of which were promised at least a MONTH ago). It took you two days to neuter the vex after the nerf herders began their incessant whining, yet you can't roll out a promised fix for it in a months time? Talk about a slap in the face to those who endured the hardest content in your game (which is buggy as hell) to achieve the "ultimate" reward.
Also I would like to point this out for those of you who are saying "these things take time to fix, 2 months isn't long enough."
-- all it would take to fix these weapons is a simple change to the perks in their weapon trees. This obviously could have been done by now considering in this update alone they rolled out changes to weapon trees on [i]multiple[/i] guns. Change one of thorns perks to one that increases reload speed after kills or when the mag is empty... Problem solved. For bad juju add the perk that gives max ammo capacity... Problem solved. For the vex add a perk under the "timeless mythoclast" one that "gives this weapon a 34% damage increase vs. non guardian enemies."... Problem solved. These things are so elementary yet bungie fails to fulfill promises they made us MONTHS ago..
Edit 1: I'm not saying this is a bad update. There's is plenty of positive here for many of you, just not for me. It's nice to see that they are working on voice chat, and have added more bounty slots and shader rotation.
Edit 2: I'm not complaining about lack of content, or asking for more. This is simply about fixing current issues.
Edit 3: it has just been brought to my attention that thorn and other exotics were actually nerfed in this patch, instead of any kind of buff as promised.
Sub-edit: after further research, this nerf was "unintentional." Several weapons and armor pieces have been affected by this "accidental" nerf. Deej claims they are looking into the matter, but let's be honest they aren't going to go back and fix this anytime soon.
Sub-sub-edit: this is just speculation but I find it odd that everything that was "unintentionally" nerfed in this update are things I have seen people complaining about in the feedback forums recently. For example thorn damage over time, armamentarium giving extra heavy ammo, and the last word doing too much damage. All of which were complaints regarding the crucible side of things.
Something just feels weird here. Did bungie try to secretly dumb down exotics even further (just in time for iron banner) and just hope we wouldn't notice? Seems to me they wanted to make a more level playing field in iron banner 2.0 so it would attract more players. Comical bungie. As if none of your players would notice that you lowered damage and took away the stability perks (amongst other things). I'm assuming you won't roll out a fix for this until after iron banner is gone again. Once you confirm my speculation, by spewing out more lies and deception to cover this up, I'm done with your company for good. I was loyal since the first halo, but this clearly isn't the same bungie anymore. Seems like all the real talent and integrity went to 343i.

1 ReplyTo the gun nerf topic I think there actually is a good potential with vanguard and crucible vendors - this way they could separate guns from pve and pvp (major problem w gun balancing would be solved). Still wouldn't solve the problem of lacking vanguard weapon vendors.

1 ReplyThose accidental weapon nerfs in time for the Iron Banner 2.0 are just too casual to be believable. For me they were either intentional or their QA is by far the worst one I've seen in my lifetime. I don't buy this "unintentional nerf" talk for a second, they knew what they were doing.

1 ReplyReposted here for more to see. Seriously bungie did you even bother to have your content tested? You spent 3+ years hyping up this game and there is some serious need of housekeeping. Blizzard - hot fixes broken content. When issues are serious enough they don't even wait for weekly update to do so. EA - hot fixes problems. Uses weekly update to fix issues that can wait. Trion - hot fixes, weekly updates Riot - notorious for crappy servers, still hot fixes problems quicker. These are just the ones off the top of my head. I am a PvE player and this game has serious issues, issues IGN even called out a [b]month ago[/b]. Their continued neglect has no excuse.

6 RepliesI wish people would stop bitching at bungie and comparing them to the past company. Bungie is almost 500 strong up from around 100 who worked on halo, many of whom stayed with 343. The lead writer left bungie about a year before the games release. Bungie now and ten years ago share a name, that's about it, but stop treating them as though they gave you your fond memories of halo, because these aren't the same people. Continue to play the game if you're still having fun. If not, move on. I still have fun playing when I do, and I have high hopes for the next installment of the game since the second title is usually the best of any series. People yelling at developers and their PR's are just taking the fun out of the game and will drive away new players and hurt the community more than help it.

2 RepliesTruth. Even something as minor as the lack of a "skip crappy cutscene instead of having to sit through it for the millionth time" button goes unaddressed. As for the apparent focus on PvP, is it really such a surprise? The Crucible doesn't even surpass Halo CE standards. In my not-so-humble opinion, future PvE content should be free, and save the exorbitant fees for the loonies in the arena. Of course, that won't happen... Oh well--I have other, far more interesting digital worlds to explore.

6 RepliesEdited by Tekn0z: 11/18/2014 4:44:26 PMAgree 100% Bungie doesn't give a damn about PvE. Some evidence: - All weapon nerfs are PvP driven and guess what, they apply to PvE for no reason.. don't like it? Screw you, deal with it. - Iron Banner broken 1st time, immediately gets fixed and re-released. What about the disaster that was "Queen's Wrath"? Yeah, screw PvE. You don't deserve anything but same strikes for terrible rewards. - Adjustments to all PvP maps to prevent "imbalance", yet no fixes for Raid glitches, instead they make Atheon random teleport. LOL please. They don't even ACKNOWLEDGE that raid has glitches (especially the Atheon part) that needs fixing, instead they are more worried about catering to "nerf this/buff that" PvP threads.

1 ReplyThey did a sh*t job of dumbing down exotic you should see how many people use the suros regime in iron banner its f**king stupid!

Pvp are where the numbers are that's why bungie are focusing on it PVE started dying after level 20 for me personally no open world zero story, repetitive strikes and missions. The worst thing was no difference in the characters all played from the same view point with the same weapons no reason to redo the campaign.

1 ReplyEdited by Kevin G60: 11/19/2014 3:24:16 AMHas anyone ever thought that its not Bungie making the mistakes but activision. I mean just think about it. What happened when call of duty got put into another game??? Ohhh thats right Halo 4. But on the other hand Bungie was in the wrong for getting help from them in the first place. Also Destiny should not have released the iron banner event right after an update, considering that ALL their other updates have caused major issues. And finally as for the error codes. As some of them are random destiny problems, others have to do with xbox live like today for example. You cant do jack diddly on the xbox one because microsoft decided to put just about everything in the cloud and only the cloud.

25 RepliesWhat's funny is that this game was primarily advertised for PVE. I'm going to laugh when they try and show off and advertise Destiny 2. If I would have known their sole focus, care and attention was on their garbage, trashy PVP, I would have NEVER gotten Destiny. Double for the fact they lie and do everything in their power to destroy PVE...starting with their random, cheap, broken raid.

3 RepliesThe fact they said they took away an exploit area in aksor fight showed how little they know their own game. If hes on top he can still do his foot stomp and kill players so much for creative thinking and hello again to running around being blasted from every direction while trying to kill a bullet sponge.

3 RepliesEdited by Lanz59: 11/18/2014 8:10:38 PMI agree 100%. Want to do an Exotic weapon bounty - off to pvp. Want different elemental damage - off to pvp. Want some different armor - off to pvp. All involve going to the crucible for reputation, marks and/or xp. My son bought this for me, and I do love playing it, but I am no good at pvp. We thought this was an mmorpg not a mmopvp. Which is what it is turning out to be.

I think it's because it's just laziness on the part of the dev's. They could not figure out how to level enemies in the open world or during missions to the players participating. They could not even figure out how to level the chests to the player opening it. Ex. Open chest receive common gear, resource, glimmer regardless of the level of the player opening said chest. A leveled chest to the player opening it is common practice in practically every RPG. Their solution to the fact that players are progressing and using better gear is to nerf the weapons and make the enemies bigger bullet sponges. On patrol the night of the patch I now have to two punch a regular Vandal on the moon during a patrol. On PATROL!! Not during a strike or heroic but a patrol. This is suppose to make things more fair? More of a challenge? No it just means that storm fist is now just a after thought. Then what's the point of including it on a skill tree if it means nothing more than a normal melee other than you get a light show to go with it. Or the fact that the only way to progress to higher levels is literally participate in a single event that is without the option of matchmaking. Or slogging thru round after round of Iron Banner to earn a couple pieces of gear that will get you "closer" to 30. So the game is suppose to be around for 10 years ( ? ) but the only path to progression is thru doing the Raid? This is the best they can come up with. At this pace if Destiny last 10 Years the only ones left playing will be the same 100 or so who are willing to put up with the joke RNG and the buggy mechanics and constant noodling for balance that has become the trademark of what was suppose to be a ground breaking gaming experience. I think at the very least it will be a roadmap for the next game developer of what NOT to do.

6 RepliesWHY THE HELL CANT I SKIP CUTSCENES YET?!??!

With update 1.0.3. they have clearly made it harder for those who want to do solo - they have even baited us by saying the game will be easier to do in a team setting. I am a level 29 Titan who could do the weekly heroic within an hour and now TWO HOURS LATER I STILL CANT COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE. Why do these people hate gamers who want to play solo? Why the heck am I waisting my time grinding for hours on end just to get something I want ( be it armor or weapon)??? My personal belief is that they want to force people to play in groups so as to put less stress on their servers. I AM DONE WITH DESTINY. I HAVE WAISTED MY TIME AND MONEY AND I AM DONE WITH THESE JERKS

7 RepliesThey needed an event to take peoples mind off the game breaks in PVE, and so they are gonna try to make us grind in PVP for the armour we need to get to 30. Backfire, as I need a chest piece and all you are putting up is boots and gloves. Blam level 30 i've got 127 light and I think im done. My Vanquisher is the most useless weapon now, cause last night they nerfed it. almost got my ass handed to me on level 24 heroic. slower rate of fire, instability issues, and less impact. All overnight post patch. Also inconsistent time to kill with various weapons. Well done, you've managed to make PVE more unplayable

12 RepliesEdited by Coatedmonk: 11/18/2014 11:06:50 AMHave anyone else been having issues with Ammo synths since the update? Mine won't replenish...it sucks soloing a nightfall and discover your ammo synth doesn't work. And I spent strange coins at Xur to get ammo packs. Where's Deej now? He'll pop up on a topic about sexual harassment, yet he won't pop up and give an account as to how Bungie can fix this nonsense. PS I'm on the One just in case it may be a platform correlation issue

Been trying to log in for 30 min still getting droped for server issues

2 RepliesThe crappy thing is I think they will make the level 30 version of legs and arms PVP only, and the chest and helm Queens Wrath only. If they do this you will HAVE to pvp to reach 30 if you don't want to raid or can't for whatever reasons. Hopefully they will rotate the armor pieces so the next IB will have the helm / chest and same with the Queens Wrath (if they do it for that), but I don't see it happening.

Edited by TwoBeersMears: 11/19/2014 1:31:40 AMBump bump bump. Though I'm sure there's plenty of talent at Bungie. They just refuse to focus on PvE.

Its a huge slap in the face. They dont care at all abt pve. They just want to be Cod
