I liked thorn back when I was one of the few playing destiny who cared to use it. Back before the buff. Back when it took some form of skill to use. Now... Thorn is a cheap weapon used by everyone either out of frustration with this underdeveloped game, or simply for the lack of skill it requires to use. Point and shoot. Bang bang, run... Poison ftw.

No longer will you need to use external measures such as the Destiny app or the Destiny Inventory Manager extension in order to manage your inventory. You will now have added inventory space and it will be shared between all of your characters. The vault will still be available to keep your inventory from being too cluttered. We will have more to show about this in the coming weeks! • Gear loadouts. You will now be able to set loadouts for your armor and weapons. With the press of a couple buttons you may switch to a preset gear loadout. These can be used at any time but will not activate until your next respawn. • We have revamped out the directional buttons function. Each directional button will prompt a radial menu. Pressing the right directional prompts a menu for different emotes to choose from. Down will prompt a menu for consumable items such as ammo synths.

For example, hammer forged on a shotgun may be replaced with rifled barrel. • Pre-House of Wolves weapons will no longer display Upgrade Damage perks. • Weapons acquired fron the Prison of Elders may now be re-rolled at the Gunsmith. Exclusive Prison of Elders perks still apply. • Weapons acquired in the Trials of Osiris may now be re-rolled at the Gunsmith.

(One of each, or two of the same.) • Tokens of Flight, Identity and Judgement can be used for any reputation gains. Much like commendations.[/quote][/quote]

Only used to level playing field and I feel dirty and cheap using it. I wish WE could choose which guns to use rather than be forced to play with the weapons bungie wants. Bring the suros back.
