So I was just thinking about sidearms, special, and balance...

Anyways I just was thinking about the current state of affairs in crucible in regards to balance, and came up with an idea for balance in Destiny. Change One, all specials now spawn with one magazine of ammo, like sidearms. Sidearms are powerful right now, but if shotguns and fusions were more available, then these might fit in better, as an option, just like all weapons should be. Change Two, primaries get some slight buffs to range and probably somewhat better damage to better fit into this more special prone environment. These are just some basic ideas that I've had, and I would love to see everybody's thoughts, ideas, and discussion. Bump if you agree!

  • "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." -----Albert Einstein. THE CRUCIBLE DOESN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SPECIAL WEAPONS BEING OVERPOWERED OR HAVING TOO MUCH AMMO. Which is why three years of nerfs and trying to limit their ammo has NOT produced a balanced game. The problem is THE GAME'S PRIMARY WEAPONS ARE WOEFULLY UNDERPOWERED AND CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THE DEMANDS OF THE GAME BUNGIE DESIGNED. Games where you allow players to choose their weapon means that they will always choose the most EFFICIENT (fastest killing) weapon at their disposal. Games where players move fast and unpredictably require a quick TTK if you are going to balance them properly. Bungie is FAILING at managing the Crucible because they are trying to force a game with weapon choice, fast moving players and requires balancing.....to play like a game that had NO weapon choice, slow predictably moving players, and a gear system that didn't require any sort of balancing. IOW, the only way to FIX the problem is to stop -blam!-ING around with the game's special weapons....and BUFF the game's primary weapons back to a power level that in balance with the speed of play, and the power of the game's OHK weapons. Otherwise, you'll just keep trying to pound a square peg into a round hole....and running afoul of Einstein's definition of mental illness.
