There are a lot of threads out there already on the new changes, but I wanted to give a central location to point everyone to when they ask me where they can share their thoughts. Now that you have had a few days to play the new changes we want to hear what you experiences have been playing.
What do you like?
What do you hate?
What do you think is good but could be better?
What would you change?

When I first saw the special ammo changes I was pretty unhappy, but after a bit I decided I'm OK with it. It's a reasonable way for a game to treat special ammo, it's just really different from what existed before. Special drops are now kind of like mini, more frequent heavy ammo drops. To me it just makes the game different, not necessarily worse. The change to Hungering Blade...well, I rarely play a Blade Dancer so I can't really speak to whether that particular change was justified. But I'm really upset that it spilled over to so many other things and the response wasn't to either roll it back and try again or promise (and deliver!) a quick fix to the unintentionally affected perks. It's just really crappy and disappointing that my Voidwalker's PvE game took a huge hit because of a nerf to Bladedancer's PvP game. I'm sure plenty of Titans feel the same way. There have been so many times that guns and perks were nerfed in PvE because of PvP. It stinks, but at least it was on purpose and (I assume) the effect on PvE was at least considered a bit, and there was some justification of wanting things to feel the same in PvP and PvE. That's very different from a nerf targeted to a specific subclass perk accidently spilling all over the game. As a Voidwalker in particular, I feel like I was playing a style heavily encouraged by the last patch (the healing, quick recharge grenades, etc.) I enjoyed the hell out of it, and for it to suddenly take a big nerf because of a change to one perk for an entirely different class and subclass feels sloppy and careless and like Bungie is phoning it in here. I started playing just a bit before TTK and this is honestly the first time I've felt this way about anything Bungie has done, even about changes I wasn't a big fan of. What I would very much like to see is a rollback on these changes. And then, if you decide that these other perks all really should have been nerfed after all, do it on purpose and show us why you didn't think so two weeks ago, but you do now. I'll still probably disagree, but I can handle that. At least it won't be "Whoops, oh well, deal with it. Maybe we'll fix it eventually or maybe we'll just leave it this way, or something in between." That feels bad. Realistically it won't stop me from buying Destiny 2, but if that's really how this ends up it will absolutely put me off buying Silver until then, something my wife and I have done for most, if not all events. And it'll have me going into D2 with significantly less trust for Bungie, less tolerance for future issues, and less motivation to spend on extras.
