Hi everyone, I'm just wondering if anyone else feels my frustration on this or if I am alone. Anyway, I think I am done with destiny now, and will not be getting house of wolves. This is because I cannot really play crucible anymore because of bungie's changes to the weapons and ammo. I have been with destiny a long time. I have beaten all the raids including hard crota, and I even soloed normal crota with my 32 titan. All three of my classes are 32. Currently, the top weapons used are handcannons, namely thorn and hawkmoon, this is not surprising given that their damage output is extremely high. Problem with that is that I have trouble using that class of weapon. The two weapons I knew how to use well were auto rifles and rapid fire sniper rifles. Those were my strongpoints because I like the stability of the rifles, and the rapid fire snipers helped make up for the fact that I am not a very good shot, especially while under fire. But I cannot snipe like I used to now because of the greatly reduced special ammo. Auto rifles have been so badly nerfed you hardly see them anymore, even the mighty suros has become an uncommon sight. I have tried to use hand cannons, but I have a really hard time keeping them on target because of the recoil, and my thorn has no upgrades anyway. The fact that they require precision shooting does not help me either, as I said, I am not a very good shot. the handcannons I have cannot compete with thorn and hawkmoon. I have the last word, but because its range is so short I have difficulty using it properly. I tried to use my swordbreaker, but that was an even worse idea because everyone else is using a shotgun called Felwinters Lie, which has an extreme range for a shotgun. Plus the thorn/hawkmoon people typically kill me before I can close the distance anyway. I also tried pulse rifles, but my dps was still too low to compete with enemy handcannons. So I think I am done, my k/d is pathetic, and the rest of my team has been forced to carry me. I bring down whatever team I am placed on in crucible matches. As far as I can tell, Bungie has no interest in balancing the weapons. The only change they have mentioned is fixing a spawn error on the iron banner, otherwise, they seem content with their system. Those of you who enjoy these handcannon duels, more power to you, but I feel that there is nothing left for me in destiny, and I don't like bringing down my team in crucible. With all of that said, how does everyone else feel?

  • If you want to know my opinion, it's not easy to use hand cannons - even if you have a hawkmoon. It take some time to learn, so other weapons. Actually in crucible you can see all kinds of weapons - a lot of ppl are using mida, red death, suros etc. And they are really good with it. I HATED auto rifles - I felt like being shooted by some random skillless players, who depends only on the rate of fire. Shotguns even now drives me mad but I cannot agree with you as it comes to felwinter. I've seen a lot of players using different types of shotgun - from swordbraker to new monarchy shotgun. So stop moaning and keep practising! And different thing- in HoW there will be possibility to upgrade all kinds of legendaries, so you can finally choose the one with the perks that will be usefull for you. I can't wait to wear something that will impove reload speed with the gun I'm really using.
