This is long: but it needed to be said
1st of all Bungie how do you release a major patch when half of it is unintentionally bugged because of the change you made to hungering blade. That is unacceptable considering the amount of time it has been since the last sandbox balancing update. I'm starting to think that you didn't start working on this patch til like 2 weeks ago. Unacceptable.
Now on to the changes you actually meant to make. I think 90% of them were uncalled for and will have a negative impact on the game- but I'll just hit the highlights.
Most obviously blade dancer... The only thing in need of a nerf on blade was shinobu's vow- which imo they messed that up as well. But no you nerf the whole damn subclass. Give me one reason to run blade dancer. It now has a poor super, poor melee, and a poor neutral game. You killed it- great job. This alone is enough for me to say that your whole balancing team needs reworked- nobody in this entire community called for this.
Onto special anmo- bungie this was the wrong way to go about making us use our primaries, but I'm sure you saw it as the easy way out and took it. The community has been screaming to buff primaries for months now- why don't you listen? This is going to slow the game down to a stalemate of team shotting and camping- nobody wants that.
The last thing I want to touch on is your nerf to max armor builds. Having max armor was something cool that you could choose to customize your class with because it could give you small benefits here and there. Now why would I run it? How about instead of nerfing the armor stat you buff agility so that there is a good reason to run high agility. You are basically making customization pointless by nerfing these stats. This goes to all the subclass changes as well (accept for jug, that was a perfect change).
It has become apparent now that bungie is purposely trying to slow this game down for god knows why as well as make every class play the same by nerfing all the cool things about each of them to the ground. They are trying to turn Destiny into Halo.
I am losing faith in you bungie. I feel that a studio as incompetent as the one that released this broken patch could not possibly make a good Destiny 2. It is not too late though, if you want to get the trust of your community back I seriously recommend you reverse the majority of the changes you launched today. Take another month or two, rethink your whole balancing approach- and give us a solid April update- and this time listen to the people who actually play your game.
Signed,
A concerned player

Majority of people complaining probably havnt even played enough since the patch to realise its not that bad, special ammo spawns all the time..! blade dancers are still doing fine and ive seen multiple mow down a few people with the super, no radar for a second wow big woop! Bladedancer still a has a great grenade a reasonable super and decent neutral game.

11 AntwortenIt's the community fault not bungie a

2 Antwortenthere was a comment on another article like this where someone said that getting primary kills should reward you with special ammo. this is a great way to encourage people to use primaries cause' if they balance it right (knowing them they wont XD) this could change crucible in a good way.

RIVER MONSTERS

Well, I mean, I finally completed my snow angel set so destiny really has nothing else for me.
-
I honestly like the reduced special ammo. Makes your lives more valuable and gives reasons for players to stay alive aka not play like stupid idiots.
-
14 AntwortenLmao this patch is 👍 . No more shot gun rushing jerks. You have to actually use this weird thing they call a primary. I know it's a foreign term and hard to comprehend. But try it.

I had great hopes for the end of shotgun rushers but seriously this game is far worse now. I don't understand buffing hand cannons as they were already strong (with the right role) but now they seem to be completely OP. Even at middle range if you go 1v1 with anything other than a hand cannon against someone with one its almost impossible to win, its just B.S. I was already getting tired of things like the ridiculous RNG with the almost zero percent chance of getting Ice Breaker and the 3 CoE exotics etc. and exotic engrams giving you the same exotics you already have 30-40 times over instead of giving one you don't have. I never played as a one of those poisonous fun killing shotgun rushers but I could still hold my own. Now (post patch) I'm just getting slaughtered by hand cannons and for some reason trials "(adept)" weapons that seem to be even more powerful than before. Whatever fun was still in the Crucible is well and truly now dead, and as the rest of the game is just the same repetitive boring s#!t so why should we keep playing? To me this patch seems to be the straw the broke the camel's back as I really think I'm finished with Destiny now. Its a game that had such potential, shame about the sting of broken "fixes" and the shameless money grabs that ruined it.

I'm sure it's another "unintended affect" but invective doesn't regenerate ammo until you pick up a special box. Thanks bungle

1 AntwortenI agree with everything except for the special ammo nerf. It could be debated as a good thing as it makes it more similar to how halo was when you had to run around to get the op weapons... buuuut I think I would prefer they extend the time maybe a little. Either way bungie has already shown that they are incompetent for years now and in honestly surprised people are still baffled when bungie screws up... hell the entire base game was a screw up and almost all the dlc except for taken king and the debatable iron banana dlc. Anyway don't expect much from their next game as they already shown that it's possibly not gonna be finished on the release date but will push it out anyway.

Bungee kinda sound like kids in a trench coat trying to act like adults
-
Wow, is Bungie being run by the trump administration? you guys seem to fall from one muddle to the next... I love destiny, I want it to be great - but you just keep tweaking and tweaking instead of fixing. I'm thinking you just draw words out of a hat and make up this stuff? I'm really thinking of hanging up my guns... this is just nonsense.
-
Well said
-
2 Antwortenplayers be ware here is the next of many bungie dev slaps in the face they just expect us (us= first gen pre order players with thousands of hours play time to just suck up for the benefit of noobs . bungie you can kiss my ass I and my friends and family will not be purchasing destiny 2 or any further dlc content. Thebug fixes were not the problem but nerfing exotics for no reason is the last straw. stop catering to your pvp elite.
-
2 AntwortenYou guys wanted this game to be more challenging so they added Modifiers to the Crucible. Right now it's Small Arms.
-
I agree 100% well said
-
Bungie could easily make patches more acceptable by making destiny 2 on PC and adding a ptr so the PC community can test it out first before putting it into the game.
-
2 AntwortenThat's what everyone said in the last patch and here we are again alive and breathing.
-
2 AntwortenChanges are good. Has little effect on PvE. The crucible feels better, less shotgunners running around, sidearms getting used, some pulses performing better, Suros relevant again. I say so far so good. Not sure why the hate is flowing. Just lets us know Bungie is paying attention to the small things.
-
2 AntwortenWhat if we like the changes?
