Dear Destiny Forums Posters and all Guardians,
This is a post about all the people who don't know what they are saying and have no actually constructive feedback other than, "screw you Bungie i quit." I understand that you have the right to disagree with what Bungie is doing but you should at least come up with a solution other than saying Bungie's filled with assholes... (Just ridiculous).
In this latest weapons update, sure there are one or two things that to me might not sound good on paper, but i am willing to give this a shot. You have to think like a game developer. Now if you made a game with 5 tiers of weapons, and you want the bottom to be the worst and top the best, blackhammer is tier 4(Maybe 4.5 because its a raid weapon). It is used more than most legendary and exotic secondarys. "But iNancy, i earned that gun by defeating Crota." Yep you did, and its still gonna one of the best if no the best pve snipers our there. There is something wrong if you can melt a boss down in 10 seconds with one gun. No gun should have unlimited ammo, use your head and think about it. Now to everyone using the term "Nerf", your using it wrong. Nerf is when you make something so unusable, it will never compare to any weapon in its class. Blackhammer is still gonna be the highest dps sniper out there. "iNancy you're a douche bag, its takes skill to do that many precision shots. I work hard for that." I'm sure you work hard, but getting precision shots on a boss, is pretty freaking easy. Stupidly easy. Thats why a lot of people are complaining about the changes to blackhammer.
Now let me back track to the term nerfing again. When something is nerfed, that means when you try using it, it is now out classed by every weapon. Now when theres a balance, that means it is changed to help balance it out with the rest of the weapons in its tier. So use words like weaken, lower, diminish, reduce,minimize, exhaust, debase, impair, wane, and water down. Special weapons have always been meant to be used in instances, not thru a whole raid/mission/strike. Cough Cough Ice Breaker. Ice breaker is a weapon you can use thru any activity without even using a primary and or heavy weapon. Again, ice breaker is meant to be used in certain situations, not the whole time. Though i do agree 8 seconds seems like a bit much, i understand what they are trying to do.
"iNancy you asshat, i spent hours trying to get my thorn/last word (even though thorn is way harder to get) and now they are being NERFED!!! If i earned those weapons! So too bad to those noobs who don't use them/have them." WRONG. The exotic weapons are a tier of weapons made to be countered by each other. In any game, there should never be one weapon you HAVE to use. I shouldn't have to put thorn on or a final round sniper just to play trials. (final rounds a whole other story. Wont get into that now). Why would you want to use only one weapon, it blows my mind. I want to be able to wreck kids with my hard light. I want to put my gjallarhorn away on raids so i can use something else but guess what, at this time that's not possible. Some weapons are so high above the rest, everyone is limited to using them. The exotic tier should be balanced out to counter each other and defeat most tier 4/below easily. (Of course raid weapons do have some wiggle room) So again, really think about it. If you really want just one weapon to be best at everything then great, you probably are one of the ones who said they are quitting, so i dont care. The game will be better without you. If you are now thinking, you know what, i do want all guns to be balanced, i want to try out all the guns, then thank you. You somewhat understand what Bungie is trying to do. In everything, do research, this inst like any game. Its a mix of many. Do the research on what mmos are about, do it on FPS's. I just want you to be educated in your posting. Not destructive and uneducated. I know, (and i hope Bungie knows) most of the negative post are the 1% of destiny players. Everyone i talk to in game talks about the stupid forum posts. So, im going to do a poll. Its going to fail horrifically but hey, i have hopes. The poll question is, which of these fit you?
Alright, im done ranting and trying to put some sense into the forums. If you are one of those who just read the forums, get mad at all the people posting but never post them selves, please reply to this post. I would love to hear from you guys. I love this game and i have stuck through the worst of times in it. Never have i been happier with a game. ( Even though yes there are things i would love changed) I have fun playing this game. Alright, hope to hear from all guardians, and your thoughts on everything.
Love,
iNancy rC
