[quote]The #destinytruthcast is a Bnet #feedback forum community podcast hosted by members of the community and featuring community members as guests.
The podcast was started to give everyday guardians a chance to do something they would probably never experience by being on a podcast and to give them the opportunity to have not just their thoughts, but their voices heard by Bungie as they discuss the game.
Beyond that, it's allowed us to get to know the voices and personalities behind the gamertags we see on the forums and get to know each other in a way not possible in anonymous words on a page.
We aren't here to endorse or tear down Bungie or Destiny, but to give honest, balanced talk on this game. Thank-you and maybe we'll see you on an episode. [/quote]

2 RepliesYAY I can reply now!! (Ban lifted) I'll keep it short. Another great podcast with some excellent guests. (And I got a Mention about my tweet!!!) Mercules904 had a lot of great information and has really dug into the data on weapons and stuff really well. I agreed with almost everything he had an opinion on. Especially about Titan skating. I feel like he almost wanted to use the work "exploit" but he didn't LoL. He really gets it that it was never meant to work that way but Bungie kind of just has done nothing about it. However I was very surprised by his opinion on the Sniper flinch. He's a numbers guy and I get it, but the whole "I really don't think it was happening as much as people were saying" stance is really just having horse blinders on and only looking at the data. That whole situation about not being able to counter correctly was way more than just "How much it happened". It's the fact that it was happening at all to any significant degree. It was shown time and again how predictable the flinch was before. Yes it was a direct result of Primaries being nerfed but it remains that primaries are not going back to what they were. Flinch was coded for what primaries [u]used to be[/u] not what they are and a change was needed to bring the skill back to where it needs to be. I did like that you mentioned Sniper usability outside of their intended range. Personally anyone who thinks sniper rifles should be viable in the shorter ranges are just [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/220226167]hypocrites[/url]. All they want is a 'safer' 1HK weapon just like a shotgun. Most of the Weapon talk seems to be on spot for me. I'm just waiting to see what changes they decide to do that no one actually asked for. I think when it comes to that they just can't help themselves.
