Oathkeeper Exotic Gauntlets
Hey all,
Since the release of Forsaken, we’ve been fielding feedback concerning the Oathkeeper Exotic Gauntlets for Hunters. Primarily, players do not feel that the Adamantine Brace perk offers a significant change to bow charge times.
As such, we are removing “Bows charge faster” from the description of the perk in an upcoming update. This armor piece will continue to give a minor decrease to charge times, but will no longer be called out as an aspect of the exotic perk.
Moving forward, the focus of this exotic will be that players may hold bow charges indefinitely, with the benefit of Perfect Draw being applied to arrows fired, even after longer hold times.
We will continue to monitor this feedback as it comes in, so please continue to sound off with thoughts concerning the Oathkeeper Exotic!

So you still don’t have enough feedback after an entire year or what? Oathkeeper is useless now and everyone here agree with that. Yet you still insist on keeping it in this half exotic state? Dmg04, what the hell?

Bump~ Please Bungie. Make them worth the exotic slot. They are some of the best looking in the game, and I'm a Titan main. Some people in the comments have spoken abour really good possible reworks to them. I know you're "Monitoring" feedback, but maybe show it a bit, eh? -
1 ReplyHere’s my suggestion to this useless exotic: MAKE IT A LEGENDARY. They’re incredibly pretty but incredibly underwhelming. It’s depressing how pretty they aren’t.

Has this been fixed so bows actually draw faster?

1 ReplyEdited by ItzEricDraven: 12/4/2018 8:27:53 AMWe (guardians) "monitor" another exotic getting crippled instead of fixed.So i 've got my exotic bows and my exotic Gauntlet performing mediocre because there isn't a way to correct things?Particularly in pvp is seriously underperforming and it is not viable in competitive modes. It's a good idea wasted,please fix it.Applie back "Bows charge faster" somehow or this becomes another niche exotic p.s. If your intention is to keep it as it is and you include in your arsenal of solutions renaming/removing descriptions of perks, i suggest to rename this gauntlent into AEON SWIFT V.2 . That would be more apropriate, and would help hunters enlist this exotic as infusion cell material.

You are obligated to correctly fix Oathkeeper. Its not upto debate. Fix the damn thing. Thank you, Every Destiny player

Post should look a little more like this... "Hey all, Due to the amount of recent negative feedback regarding the change to the Oathkeeper Exotic Gauntlets, we will be removing them from the game. We don't want to hear all of the Hunters complaining about their exotics being borderline useless, we want them to swap to Titan mains. Why do you think we let them go entirely unchecked in the Crucible? (unless you consider Nova Warp being just as busted to be a "check") If you keep complaining about it, we will be forced to lock your legendary/prime engram loot table to Edge Transit. Happy Thanksgiving, hope you choke on your family's overcooked turkey."

Man this is the only Forsaken exotic armor I’ve gotten so far and it dropped twice for me, and I’m still getting year one exotic armors that I’ve gotten so long ago. I was looking forward to a fix for the Oathkeepers but now from the description of the change basically sounds like another useless hunter exotic armor.
-
Will we ever get a statement, or can we just expect to see the description changed on tuesday. So much feedback not considered!?! Come on, please.

This is very disappointing. I literally just found these and tried them out. Thought they were garbage. Now they are going to stay garbage :(
-
Edited by skilyne34: 11/13/2018 12:09:27 PMI have to say this is disappointing to hear. Combining these with something like TG, if they actually worked correctly, could actually allow a bow centric build. Being able to hold a shot indefinitely is useless everywhere but in crucible and there are much better options for the exotic armor slot. These gauntlets are actually worthless now lol.

Hey *tap taps mic* Are you still listening?... You're still getting feedback telling you to actually fix the gauntlets instead of pretending the perk doesn't exist... Are you listening? Are you going to respond to the feedback you're getting telling you to actually fix them instead of just pretending the perk doesn't exist? Are you listening? To all this negative feedback? Are you going to respond to one unified message of "fix the effing gauntlets"? Are you still listening? Are you going to respond? YOU MADE THIS STUPID COMMENT. YOU PISSED EVERYONE OFF, DMG, THIS IS YOUR FAULT, YOU DID THIS, NOW FREAKING SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THIS FIRE ANT HILL YOU KICKED OVER AND THEN SAT IN. YOU WANTED THIS JOB. NOW DO THE JOB YOU ASKED FOR AND REPLY TO THE UNRELENTING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK YOU'RE GETTING OVER A CLEARLY BAD IDEA. Oh. Let me guess. "Don't you guys have other exotics?"... Worked so well for that dude at Blizzcon. You don't want to fix the gauntlets. I get that. But you have a problem. You have no one in agreement with this decision. Are you listening to your feedback? Or aren't you. Reply. It's your job. Post a pinned statement in direct response to this feedback you've gotten. And make it clear. Do you value your communities feedback? Or are you going to ignore what they're saying in a unified voice because you just don't want to do it? Either way. You started this. This is your responsibility. Reply.

3 RepliesEdited by Xx Sir Sly xX: 11/12/2018 11:57:17 AMThat’s a sure fire way to piss everyone off, if you can’t fix it because it may cause additional troublesome bugs, then say that. Otherwise the entire community will perceive it as lazy and unbecoming of a company that says they “listen” to the community. Bows are hardly used and the ones that do use them were looking forward to that perk being fixed. If they are working, then it’s negligible. Like going to McDonald’s and getting a McFlurry with one Oreo chunk, expectation vs reality. Plus the fact this isn’t pinned begs another question, trying to be slick and pass through unscathed without the majority of the community seeing it?

After reading about this exotic I'm almost glad I haven't gotten it yet, I think I would have been more disappointed getting it and wondering how is this thing even considered an exotic? But then again knowing Murphy's Law I've probably just screwed myself there.
-
This is enough, I am going to play something else. This just shows that you haven't learned a single ....... thing in 4 years. The new Bungie: the company that held back and destroyed the biggest/newest franchise on the next-gen console, applause!
-
Next week on Bungo news: We've seen some complaints that warlocks don't feel they save any super energy at all while cancelling their chaos reach super 1 millisecond after starting it. So we will now remove the text "saves super energy if you cancel it early using LB/RB" as such the focus of Chaos Reach will now be shooting a big beam of lightning at shit.
-
5 RepliesSo is this the new Bungie thing? Instead of actually addressing a problem you rename things and change descriptions?
-
5 RepliesI am a warlock. Never played a hunter, probably never will. But I do feel bad for those who main the class only to get -blam!-ed over again and again

Edited by Astalos: 11/11/2018 5:25:39 PMThis sucks pretty hard. Of the four Hunter Exotics from Forsaken, only one works consistently as advertised, The Sixth Coyote (I'm sure someone's going to let me know that sometimes the second dodge sends you to the Dreadnaught or something). Gwisin Vest often fails to activate, Shards of Galenor grants seemingly random amounts of super back, and Oathkeeper does basically nothing. And the fix you have in mind is to cut out half the effect description for Oathkeeper so only the useless bit is shown? I just.... could we not have another useless weapon-centric exotic for hunters please? Lucky Pants accuracy effect lasts way too little to be effective and its reloading effect has an invisible timer that means I'm not reloading as many shots as I think I am. Mechaneer's Tricksleeve damage buff comes in way too late and lasts way too little to be effective and the ready/reload buff is basically useless for a weapon type that revolves around their good ready/reload time. And now we're getting bow gloves that do nothing, basically. There's no use in being able to hold arrows longer than normal because there's no situation where we'll need to be able to fire a shot quickly. We have a radar to let us know when to draw an arrow when an enemy is near and we have eyes for when they're far away. I'd like some weapon-centric exotics to not just be "This normal thing happens quicker/lasts longer", especially when Titans at least have two auto-loading exotics. EDIT: Also, hiding this in a forum post instead of putting it in the TWAB post is pretty slimy

1 ReplySo you’re not fixing the exotic at all. You’re combust changing the description of the exotic. Pure laziness. It’s no wonder people are quitting destiny. Fire this man and his team.
-
Or you could've found a way ti fix the perk instead of just renaming it...but whatever
-
Funny how this got unpinned
-
7 RepliesJust call them "enhancement gauntlets." That'll do the trick.
-
Edited by WaWa: 11/12/2018 12:18:16 PMWould it not be better to just remove this exotic, so that we have a bigger chance of getting one of the other exotics in the game? Unless you add something to the oathkeepers, this change will really make them useless as an exotic. Just think of the feeling of getting oathkeeper as a drop, the disepointment...

4 RepliesEdited by xSkar: 11/9/2018 8:59:16 PMWhy not make the exotic perk let you hold the draw while sprinting or jumping? I guarantee most of the people would be okay with that. It'd be exotic as fk to slide up on a fool, dome him, and melee him for the kill. Just let people charge the bow and hold the charge while sprinting/jumping. You guys only take into account the exotic in a vacuum. You don't seem to take into account that we only get to equip one exotic armor piece. Once your team realizes that, I feel that you'll understand where the player base is at. Make your exotics EXOTIC. We wanna have fun, Bungie. Much love.
