I don’t think it’s intentional. I really think they misjudged their audience. And never listened in the past and it’s biting them in the ass. I never asked for nerfs. Just buffs. If shotguns are becoming dominant they should’ve buffed close range weapons like hand cannons and autos. If snipes were dominant. Fix the I land two headshots with my scout and still get domed phenomena. Or learn to play around snipers. Learn to peak corners. Slide into them giving them no shot instead of peaking your head like a bozo on a hard scoper. It’s the unskilled that ran into the skilled that would pollute the forums with salt. And in typical bungie fashion their solution as always was to nerf. The movement and speed of d1 made for exciting pvp. The cheap one bangs could always be countered if good. Playing with a shotty was all about your movement and awareness. Not aping owning everyone. It’s certainly not also the campy cheese of d2 shotgunning. Shotgunning was a skill in d1. After HOW when many weapons received buffs we then had counters to thorn such as red death. Everyone would log on to test out the new buffs. Bad juju and red death every where. Mida was always good. Hand cannons were good. Messenger/Hopscotch were amazing. Shotguns didn’t blank at close range and snipers felt so smooth. Guess what when primaries were dominant no one complained about special weapons. They did it right long ago. Titans had T. rex arms and warlocks could map you with a melee. Their solution. Give titans a huge damage melee. To reward them for the ability to close the gap. Yeah sure they didn’t have the same melee range but they each had strong melees. They were unique. Titan skating. Oh how I miss you. Now we have nothing but nerfed abilities. Weak nades. Weak guns. I mean why is a hand cannon a 4 shot kill just like a scout. Why are almost all scouts 4 shot kills. Why do pulses suck? It’s almost like they put a random number generator to determine the damage of the guns we will use and hoped for the best. I also can’t stress enough how getting dupe weapons is the most boring thing I’ve ever experienced in destiny. People loved sights like oas, oes, ors on their scouts and pulses. Where are those? People loved ambush and shortgaze snipes. I would grind every week for a god tier ldr. Where are those. Oh on blues. This game is garbage and as soon as I realized I’m playing for shards I quit. Months ago. Year 1 player 6 characters on two accounts and never stopped playing. I always had something to chase in d1. D2, dead after 3 weeks. After my 100th public event. After my 100th shitty perk weapon. That’s d2. A pile of powerless trash and repetitive gameplay with no unique rewards.

I think they want out of their contract with Activision so they are trying to ruin thier game it's the only logical answer because no one could possibly be stupid enough to green light all these dumb ass ideas they come up with

Here I sit so broken hearted, came to shite but only farted.

It's not intentional they just don't have a fking clue what they are doing.

They underdeveloped the game. Nothing more, nothing less.

it seems like theyre mis-managing their team , and maybe dont have enough new content to release. im sure they werent expecting to screw the pooch this hard, months ago. at this point theres more people complaining about the game than playing it. in the grand scheme of things, the weapons arent going to matter , pick an existing archtype apply existing perk rinse repeat ....and the armor is even worse theres absolutely zero reason to own a ton of armor they're only for cosmetics... at least d1 felt more rpg'ish , loot collection in d2 is a joke.

No they're ASSUMING ASSES that think their base will return in the fall when they need their dollars. I for one don't care what they release because imo their mistakes if not punished will continue. For me d2 had its shot failed. Some great games are coming and competition for players attention will be fierce. Anthem has devs talking to their growing community about plans and what players want to see. Can they keep greed in check we will see. Bungie had a lock on games as a service and completely mismanaged it right to hell. What I really want to see is the fall d2 expansion completely FAIL. What this will do is shock bungie into hopefully forcing a complete company philosophy rework. Fire who needs to be fired and quit putting kids in charge as important development heads. I still love destiny the original always will. This token abomination called Destiny 2 that revolves around Tess deserves to fail.
