Serious question to those who defend Skorris...

Why, specifically, is this most recent adjustment a bad thing? Hear me out While I don't agree with the vast majority of nerfs that bungie has implemented (or the awful way which they implement them, which could be a post all it's own...), I do think that the nerf to skorris was UNDENIABLY justified, and I have seen some arguments in the forums that are inexcusably lazy and uninformed in regards to the overall design of this game. 1) Stop associating the skorris nerf with people who complain about weapon balance. Many people who advocated its nerf were players like myself, who want strong primary weapons along with the return of fluid, fast-handling special weapons. The nerf-monkeys are not the reason for the nerf, rational thought is. The skorris artifact was FUNDAMENTALLY broken even from a simple gameplay standpoint: [i] IT IS NOT AN INDICATION OF GOOD GAME DESIGN WHEN PLAYERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO NOT PLAY THE GAME[/i]. (Caps are simply to emphasize, by the way. Do not take it as a harsh or condescending tone.) 2) Stop acting like this is some major blow for PvE players in order to justify your frustration at not being able to abuse camping in PvP. One kill per minute is NOTHING, even in the crucible. 3) Skorris will still be amazing in trials. Rounds in trials of Osiris are currently 90 seconds long, and knowing bungie's lack of polishing skills it is likely that skorris effect will carry over between rounds. If you don't get one kill per round in trials, there's an issue, and disputing that implies that you believe that people who don't get kills deserve super energy faster than those who do: i.e. you think camping spawns is dynamic and fun gameplay. While I absolutely agree that PvP and PvE should be balanced separately, I believe that, with this most recent skorris adjustment, bungie has accomplished that goal for the first time in over two years. Now if only they brought back the stopping power of year 1 primary weapons ...

  • LOL. My response to Trials players is, suck it up. You want all the kudos in the world for being "elite players", yet you constantly need Bungie to bail you out so you won't get sweaty hands. Really? You can't deal with campers? I thought you guys were experts. Some of you payers sit with this delusion that Trials of Osiris is THE ONLY game mode in Destiny. IT'S NOT. Skorrii's works great in 6v6 matches and PvE. Why should we non-Trials players have to accept changes, that hurt us, from the endless whining Trials players? I don't appreciate it. I don't care if your game mode suffers from things like this. Why? Because it's obvious that Trials players couldn't care less about our (casual players) game experience, so I'm merely returning the favor. I'm against nerfing ANYTHING.
