Dear bungie,
While I do understand the need to add more flinch effect to counter snipers I cannot condone the motion to nerf the perk unflinching. The perk already adds such as a small amount of resistance that it is already practically unusable. A nerf to an already broken perk is totally unnecessary, if anything it needs to be buffed! You see bungie the problem about you "fixing" the problems is that you buff something and then nerf it's counter. Then after you realize the thing you buffed has become you nerf it and buff it's counter or rarely just leave the counter alone making the game less fast passed or you just keep going in circles of nerfing and buffing thing and it never ends. So one or the other bungie. Because next update will come and you'll say oh the snipers have become two week and shotguns and fusion rifles are too strong so we need to buff snipers and nerf shotguns and fusions and that loop will continue on since the release of the initial game. Mark my words bungie "it's one or the other."
Sincerely, hunterpro80

NEWSFLASH: Unflinching is NOT a sniper perk. You can roll it on pulse rifles, auto rifles, fusion rifles, etc... and guess what? By trying to nerf for one weapon, Bungie has nerfed it on ALL weapons. Any gun that had Unflinching before this update has been nerfed. Vintage Bungie, nerfing things and not caring what else gets hurt in the process!
-
The flinch was needed. The damage reduction was not
-
They didn't need to nerf unflinching. It was small perk that didn't do a lot and now is completely thrash to anyone that have a gun with the perk.
-
Better than landing 3 headshots with MIDA and get headshot by a sniper.
-
Bungie, don't listen to this guy....... he has absolutely no idea about game balancing
-
While i truly love the days when i am going MLG pro with a sniper, this will be cutting down on hardscoping, and make the mediocre snipers put them down. Hopefully also primaries will be used more now, and destiny will become like it used to be in the Golden Age of Y1
-
Thank you bungie for doing this!!!! The fact that I can shoot someone up when they are sniping and they don't move once was crazy. This is awesome and will force people not to camp back so much
-
Blame sniper players. Shouldn't have got shotguns nerfed last year.
-
sorry but I'm liking the flinch, I was royally sick of shooting a sniper only to have him calmly stay zoomed in and burst my Mellon.
-
Mmm... Let's see what unflinching can roll on... - Scout Rifles - Pulse Rifles - *probably* Autos and Cannons - Fusion Rifles - Sniper Rifles - Machine Guns These perks come in handy on most guns, but let's be honest, some perks just aren't good for certain weapons For example, while leveling my Titan last night, I got a sniper rifle with counterbalance. Have fun.
-
Funny thing is now we got more shotgun warriors, gonna just become a shotgun hell in roi
-
Bungie had their reasons, dont cry that you cant hard scope anymore
-
You are right, they should have just deleted it from the game, just like shotpackage...
-
They should just replace it with something else like they usually do. Snipers need more flinch and a perk that reduces flinch kind of defeats the purpose, so why not just replace it?
-
EXACTLY. It all started in Year 1 when Suros was too good so they NERFED it by ten percent, and hand cannons were already good but they INCREASED it's damage by ten percent, leaving Thorn and Last Word the most used weapons in the game. Now over two years later they are still on their never ending teeter totter. They made a great game and make amazing new content, but they are incapable of correcting issues with already released content/they call breaking things "balancing".
-
Works on any gun if you get shot when using the sight the more your shot the hard it is to aim when using any gun now.
-
I'll take shotguns and fusions all day over snipers that can take high caliber rounds to the head while hardscoping and still 1 shot you.
-
I can out gun a sniper with literally any gun and they can't hit a shot on me while I'm shooting them. This is how it should of been from the beginning. It will make people put the snipers down and challenge with primaries. Which is what everyone wants I guess
-
So...nerf thorn? Makes sense
-
your not loosing anything, unflinching never worked for me on snipers, on top of that the changes to the snipers are retarted, less impact + huge flinch = instant death in nightfall if you're even scoped unflinching on my auto riffle seem to work
-
Sounds like someone's feelings are hurt because they aren't a special snowflake anymore.
-
flinch based on impact stat maybe or weapon type? I'm trying to think of a way to satisfy the need to limit sniping godliness but promote primarys thus limiting the nerf/buff ratio. although I already see the MIDA and its abnormal flinch power gaining even more insane advantage once again with this flinch tweeking... MIDA forever the meta... smh
