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?

I'm not sure if these balance patches are designed to equalize the game at extremely high skill levels but it appears that way. They end up making the game much more frustrating for mid level players especially when the nerfs apply to both PvP and PvE :( But on to my comment: these balancing patches seem to be based purely on large volume statistics and don't seem to take into account the feelings of an individual player. I feel like you can spend a lot of time optimizing the different perks so they work together, and after you finally get it figured out, then everything gets "balanced" so the killer build you worked so hard to put together becomes less powerful and so you are back down on the level with other people who haven't spent as much time more thought into putting together a really effective build. Another comment relates to individual mid-level players like myself, why destroy classic weapons like Truth? They are available for everyone to obtain, and I don't really see a lot of people running around in PVP matches with truth anyhow. In fact, I can't remember the last time I got killed with that launcher. For me, Truth was a niche weapon, I used it sometimes when there was void burn for Crisis Heroic strikes, and occasionally in PVP. Now it's been completely gutted. Really, it took you almost 3 years to figure out that this thing had 300% as many shots as you wanted it to have? I used to love using really cool weapons like Truth, it gives you a good feeling when you look at the statistics and thank yourself "man this thing is really cool" and now it's sort of ordinary. You already get penalized because you can only use one exotic at a time. EDIT: Special ammunition does NOT go away during PvE as I incorrectly said below. I was using Icebreaker... And WHY does special ammunition go away during PvE when you die? PvE is just about running through and shooting stuff for fun. Why make it hard to have special ammunition unless you're using sidearm, Invective or Icebreaker? This just seems weird and poorly thought out. Perhaps it's a mistake? And why make a special case for sidearms? If you want everyone to use sidearms only, then take away all the other weapons... If you base everything on large volume statistics, and keep balancing things out, eventually everybody is running around with characters that look different but are all essentially the same, with no real advantages to a special build. And everyone will have weapons that are called different things but are essentially the same.
