Thanks for the patch love!
We turn all sorts of knobs to try and level out supers from class to class.

The worst answer ive ever seen. EVER.

Edited by Senor Crouch: 3/1/2015 6:38:49 AMI had just as much information coming into this thread as I did coming out. I feel so enlightened. Q: Why does Bladedancer only generate 4 orbs? A: Something about a door, question mark. [i]Example of a competent answer:[/i] When working on the Hunter's Bladedancer super, we felt that four orbs were ample for the utility we put into the super itself. Let's look at the Voidwalker for a moment. Nova Bomb is a bit of a skill shot and is limited to the direction it was fired in, if you are not a skilled shot then you will miss the super entirely. Then there is the Titian's Fist of Havok. This super has extremely limited range and must be in close proximity to the enemy to be at all effective. Finally you look back at the Hunter's Bladedancer super and it is a lot more flexible and harder to dodge than the others in comparison. For this reason we felt that there needed to be a reduction in orb generation to compensate for the dynamic nature of the Bladedancer's super. But we here at Bungie turn all sorts of knobs to try and level out supers from class to class in the name of balance and we will continue to do so as the game evolves. I hope that has answered your question though.

Clears up a lot. But explain the Sunsingers super? They can move around just as much BD's and can make 8+.
-
Case and point of what he's saying is that Arc Blade is able to be sustained longer than most supers, and could, if it produced more orbs, end up allowing a near-infinite use loop of it.
-
We would max at 8.
-
Jesus christ. You guys are worse than govt officials answering these questions that YOU asked for...i feel so shafted after this 'open' house...
-
What's the point in entertaining questions if you're going to just be a dick with the answer...which isn't even an answer...are you seriously trying to loose your PvE fan base? The real lifeblood of your game? Doing a great job of doing just that so far.
-
I turned a knob once.......on Einac ;)
-
I dont think thats balanced. Knob wise dont you think a blade dancer deserves 8 ords like Everbody else. If your in fear of bd in pvp why not only up orb production for bd in pve. They deserve it. Bd runs out so fast and its dangerous.
-
Bu-but what do you mean...
-
Not an answer here
-
So the logic is that since in PvE Blade Dancer is most likely to die he must generate so few orbs so everyone will not use it and enrage teammates?

Another nonsensical post by another Bungie employee. What is this international bring your troll to work day at Bungie's offices? What the hell does orb generation have to do with super balance? A gunslinger kills 2 Majors, and generates 8/9 orbs max. Same gunslinger kills 4 Majors, generates 8/9 orbs max. So why the hell would a blade dancer being able to generate 8/9 orbs as well make it unbalanced? Same goes for sunsinger as someone else already posted, who can generate 8/9 orbs max from using one super, regardless if you kill an entire raid with that one super (a bit ridiculous, but i hope you get the point). Do you even think before you reply or are you guys using bots that look for keywords and post a preset response? Geez
-
Can you review my post?
-
U didnt even answer the damn question!
-
I don't have time to explain what I don't have time to explain
-
[quote]I don't have time to explain what I don't have time to explain[/quote] Lol perfect. I think they could easily make it balanced max it at eight orbs still just one orb per kill.
-
I honestly thought this was how it went until recently...
-
And the shittiest answer goes to..........
-
So, are you trying to be condescending in not sharing your reasoning?
-
Me or the Dev?
-
Oh, the dev, did that go to you? Apologies.
-
Its fine buddy, it was written as a response to me.
-
That was such a non-answer I'm surprised you bothered to reply.
-
This open house thing just turned out to be jokes for answers. Ridiculous.
