This game used to be enjoyable Year 1, every weapon had its own thing going. Some people will complain that shotguns were "OP", some people would complain that snipers were "OP". No matter how you looked at it, "something" in each weapon class was in fact "OP".
Then here comes Year 2, lets take away Shot Package and try to make this game more "primary oriented". They had a good idea with removing special ammo from the start. I don't think anyone in Destiny enjoys getting sniped the moment they leave the gates. It worked for a moment until everyone discovered the trick with Icebreaker and sidearms. Bungie noticed this, so what do they do? They gave everyone special again.
. . . . . . . . . ::sigh:: Why? I mean it is nice that you fixed the Icebreaker / sidearm switching exploit, but now people are getting sniped at the beginning again. It is also that the snipers that mostly do this is high aim-assist ones (1000-Yard, Glass, Weylon's, Her Fury, etc.) You could have left the special spawn timer alone, you could have left how much ammo special weapons hold, all you had to do was fix the exploit and keep the "no special ammo on spawn" rule intact.
That is just how I feel and my opinion though. I will admit that I am just an salty player that is tired of seeing "1000-Yard Stare" as the the weapon that killed him. How would you guys fix this situation?

Cut down special ammo drops! Only have it twice a game. There are to meny people running around using shotguns a primary weapons, they are called special for a reason! To be used in special circumstances not just run around corners and not use any other weapon. It's bull shit!

I dont understand, you now complain on how OP snipers are, but tbh, crucible is a shotgun fest full of pulse/Assault Rifles and shotguns. I mean, it is the easiest way to do well in crucible and it is rare the game I dont come across a bunch of shotties running around constantly. The fact of the matter is that if they remove ammo there is always a way around, people will find it, for instance, No land beyond and a shottie, or universal remote and a side arm or even a sniper. Or any decent primary and invective... even ice breaker if you want to use it in normal crucible. Worse thing is that I might pop into a game trying to just run around with a primary and sniper, changing weapons every now and then to try not to make it to repetive, but only to find out that I am playing a team of sweaties with shotguns, and then what? if I switch classes to a more aggressive one I have to be careful with my secondary as the ammo will be gone., I mean why is the ammo gone? How the h... am I suppose what type of team or even map will I be playing in/against (specially when you get thrown into a game that has already started). Anyway the problem is post like this, people complaining asking to change things and bungie listening, nerf this, change that, etc etc. EVERYTIME they nerf some new meta comes up, and there you have people complaining about it... doest matter if they remove special, people then will complain about Ice Breaker, or Investive, or Universal Remote, no land beyond... because that's all we do here... complain instead of just enjoying this freaking game

The other specials still don't compete with snipers.

It's a problem in PvE, special weapons are just so much more powerful, while most of our primaries are peashooters, so what else do you think we'd use? Specials, obviously, and when you only get 15 shots with a sniper or shotgun, it starts to get annoying. I was able to carry 28 shells for my Immobius, now I can only carry 21-23, that's pathetic.
-
In my opinion the issue we all seem to have is that we don't like being one shot by anything and there doesn't seem to be a way to force people off the special weapons because if you can't beat em.. join em mentality.. so why not lower the points earned for a special kill and rais them for the primary kill, put the points and emphasis on the primary.. if you reduced the points earned by 25% on special and increased it by 25% on primary perhaps more would use the primary.. just an out of the box idea.

I miss the year one meta when people actually used their primaries. I'm talking pre thorn meta

How many times have they tried messing with specials and ammo in PvP? I find more people are using specials as their primary now than ever. Primaries have been over nerfed so people are using what kills the quickest and are reliable. On the other end, I'm finding it harder to kill them. Snipers are a problem, but shotgun runners are as well. I use to just pull my shotgun out and take care of them, but even that was nerfed. The bottom line is, PvP isn't fun anymore.

Cry some more pleb

Just have more crates drop and I'll be fine.

Stop nerfing every single thing that is used the most...

Edited by Quick: 5/10/2016 12:42:12 PMIn my opinion, return everything to stage one. Me personally, I think the reason for nerfs was the fact that some guns hadn't been discovered yet. Now that every gun is out there, its easier to play against power house guns(Suros, Thorn, Mida, etc.)

Remove ALL nerfs All of them

The Gjallarhorn will solve this problem

I mean its a bit annoying that I cant carry as much ammo for my sniper or any special for that matter. So if they put that back that would make me happy, but that amount that they give you for picking up ammo I'm fine with because then you can't just run around shotgunning the whole game which makes me happy so pull out your primary's you scrubs.
-
Yup‚ because I was an Anti 1K Stare guy. And it was the sniper that held the most ammo of rounds that reached to 30
-
I really, really, REALLY wish there was an option to turn off aim assist. Its really obnoxious sometimes and gets me killed more than getting me kills.
-
Yeah idk why they decided to "fix" sidearms and icebreaker and then proceed tk give everyone back ammo at rediculous rates in trials again, seemed pretty unnecessary if they were just gonna ruin PVE ammo and not affect trials ammo whatsoever.
