hey, ive been playing this season a little bit, havent been to keen on getting on as the recent changes to movement and the dps meta are very frustrating and lower the skill cap a lot. 1) Movement changes (sword and relic skating) - I feel like the changes to movement are totally uncalled for and unfair for the speedrunners and even the more casual players in PvE. If sword and relic skating is a problem in PvP why not disable it for just that gamemode? why do PvE players have to suffer. there are a lot of players that spent hours on hours perfecting skillbased movement in this game and you just cut their legs off. its sad to see that the changes are not a byproduct of the sword overhaul but directly targeted at the ability to skate. who did skating really hurt? why was it removed? it felt like a part of destiny and made the game what it was to me and many others. PvE content now feels like a chore and just unfun. i like going fast and bungie is one of the only game devs actively going against speedrunners patch after patch. i still have my hopes up for this change to get reverted as there is no real reason for it being here in the first place. 2) Sniper changes - Another nerf that is there for no reason, dealing optimal dps required a good amount of skill last season and was in an overall balanced state. there is no reason why 6 guardians with exotic sniperrifles and grenadelaunchers shouldnt be able to kill a boss thats 40+ power levels below them in one phase. the fact that the only way to onephase said boss now is 1k or xenophage, weapons you basically dont need to aim with, is concerning and feels less rewarding as it feels more like cheesing than actually killing the boss. Why were snipers buffed by 20% coming into sk? because they were bad, so why would a 20% nerf 2 seasons later be good? Overall i feel like the sandbox this season is messed up and the movement changes are just an direct attack at speedrunners and even more casual players. speedrunners love this game and dedicate insane amount of hours and also money to it. I personally will casually play this game now whenever the timegate opens and reveals some new bit of content but thats only because i already paid for the season. im not looking to spend any money on silver or merch from the bungie store anymore. if the changes to movement arent reverted (at least in PvE) and the PvE sandbox stays like this i will not even buy the next expansion and only play content i already paid for. not changing it back means bungie clearly doesnt care about me so why should i care about them? Im already giving them more of a chance than a lot of my friends who just straight up uninstalled after they saw and played with these changes.
