Kotaku Luke Smith Interview. They want Thorn OP?

So while reading the Kotaku interview yesterday, Luke Smith said something to the effect of: "This is the Age of Thorn, before that was the Age of Suros Regime." To me, that sounds like they WANT Thorn to be OP, but will one day usher in the Age of some other weapon. So Bungie wants an unbalanced PVP? Discuss please.

  • I read a while ago after the thorn buff that they did it because that the way thorn was meant to be. Thats why I'm not surprised it has never been nerded.

  • if they wanted, they could have nerfed thorn a LONG time ago.. since it was sub par before.

        • I was a little pissed what he said about instead of balancing all the weapons, he wants each weapon type to have a Golden Age. Well Auto Rifles, Fusion Rifles, Hand Cannons, Shotguns, Rocket Launchers, Machine Guns, and Sniper Rifles have had theirs or are in it now. Scout Rifles and Pulse Rifles haven't yet. Might as well go ahead and buff them instead of nerfing all the other ones.

            So at some arbitrary time they will buff and nerf guns in order to promote the "golden age" of some currently under utilized gun, but they don't think we should "horde" guns in our vault? Their mentality towards guns is why my vault is full. The difficulty of obtaining some guns combined with the fact that they may soon go from bottom of the barrel to long of the hill is why we can't delete weapons.

            • You are making assumptions. LoL has its meta, Elswordhas its meta, and even Yu-Gi-Oh! does. __________________________________________ Luke Smith also said in the interview that he debunked FoAF and 347 rumors, that he wants to be able to balance the weapons while keeping them an option, he wants to keep the exotics weapons fun to use.

              • "It's hard to quantify the number of story missions" Uhhhh, could try -blam!-in counting them, Luke. That usually works pretty well.

                  • They're just admitting Thorn is op, just like Suros was....in which case, they'll probably nerf Handcannons and make them as useless as AR's.

                    • Dude he's a raid designer not the mouth piece of Bungie. Your speculation is OP.

                        • If everyone uses it, then it is fair. Other people's choice what gun to use.

                        • [i]As the old leader stood high over the forest and lakes and oceans, he protected and saved the villages and kingdoms. However it came to a time, where he must meet his fate. There is no escaping the reaper. Long after, the prince takes the throne, takes the high view, he took the control to protect the land, villages and kingdom, but one again, just like the old King did, he met his fate. [/i]

                          Well in that case they have done one thing right, didn't think they could get anything right.

                        • Are you serious? It sounds like they know there's a problem and they plan on fixing it, just like the Suros
