I never, ever in my life have seen a game change that actually affected me the way this one has.
I usually have around a 2.0 K/D in COD, Titanfall, whatever. I'm not a great player but I am a good one.
In Destiny I was more like a 1.5 K/D
I have bad dexterity in my hands, so when I shoot I only really level out the vertical aim on a player's head with the look, and then use my strafe to home in on the player. I have a hard time using pulse rifles or scout rifles because of this.
So they reduced the damgae just enough to let players get one or two more rounds into me before I can kill them, but man what a difference that makes!
I have gone from like 15-30 kills a game and 1.5 K/D to like 8-12 kills a game and around .75KD
That's not balancing, that is imbalancing. My play style was directly targeted and essentially made everything crucible related 3-5 times harder.
Bullseye streaks? 2-3 a match, now 1 per 3 matches
First blood? 1 every other match, now 1 per 6 matches
Win at crucible? Probably won 66% of my games. Now am lucky to win 33%
I've never posted here to complain about anything, but they really destroyed my gameplay so what am I supposed to do?

You've become addicted to the auto rifle. Switch it up. Use the nerds to your advantage. Or you can keep crying. I feast on your tears

Chain of Woe and Gunslinger's Trance work pretty good with my Shadow Price.

1 ReplyIm addicted to my Shadow Price, and other than the decreased range (which isn't horrible) I've noticed no difference.
-
this is what happens to OP when he faces skilled gun use hahahaha
-
Lol stop sucking then
-
Yup I agree, the majority of the complaints for AR's was the effective range. So instead of just bringing that down a notch they decided to reduce everything about the guns to pretty much make then useless.
-
I did not notice the nerf

3 RepliesDO YOU REALIZE THAT THE DAMAGE WENT DOWN A WHOLE 2%! 2 -blam!-ING PERCENT.

4 RepliesAre you people ever happy? Bungie tries to fix something and still people b@:$& asking to reverse it. NO, ADAPT, that's what mmo's are about.

At first I wasn't sure if this was serious because it was so whiney but after finding no punchline.... I think you need to find a crowd that gives a crap
-
Play better.
-
You can tell who don't go for headshots in this game
-
The difference in damage is barely noticeable. I still get mowed down easily by suros and shadow price.

No you

7 RepliesTo those who dont think auto rifles were overpowered before then you don't understand much. because of how much damage an auto rifle could put out before all other guns were neglected. Please tel me the amount of people using scout rifles and pulse rifles? The auto rifle was just way to good not to use and made all others guns obsolete. An auto rifle on the same ground as a pulse rifle would always win even if i got more head shots then them. This was because of the rate of fire they could put out plus the damage each bullet did even if it did not hit the precision mark. I feel the nerf was needed, but whether or not they did to little of a nerf or to much i do not know. I can say that the vex was nerfed way to hard. And im sorry they DESTROYED your gameplay but then the auto rifle before DESTROYED my gameplay if you want to say that. I love pulse rifles but the underwhelming power to auto rifles made me pretty much have to use auto rifles to keep on lvl with others who just would shoot me down to quickly. And yes you can give me all the bullshit of GET BETTER or YOU JUST DON;T KNOW HOW TO PLAY WELL, but the facts are true EVERYONE and there mother used auto rifles. -_-

Burn the game sell your console buy a ticket to Africa and offer your self to a war lord as a personal -blam!- toy for free

6 RepliesIt's a 2% damage reduction. Makes hardly any difference. Get better.
-
Plain and simple you need to adjust, you need to get closer and make sure you get the drop on your opponent

2 RepliesEdited by ikbenDK: 10/17/2014 6:27:10 PMHi, vision of confluence (droppedtin in vog) might be a good solution For you. It's a scout rifle but not Just a normal scout rifle, it has a modifier which Enables full auto mode. this means you can hold down the Trigger and aim For the head. Another thing i have to Mention Is that this weapon has an absurd high stability! I think with the recent scout rifle buff this weapon would suit you well.

I'm sorry but I couldn't care less about this PVP. Auto Rifles still wreck Fallen, Vex, Hive and Cabal so I'm good.

Edited by valas89: 10/17/2014 7:17:50 PMLol...this isn't CoD or Titanfall....and I barely notice the difference with my auto rifle but I do feel like I gotta get closer with the shotgun now....figures they'd nerf the day after I get Found Verdict...I don't feel it was necessary
-
I've noticed almost no difference. Learn to aim better.
-
4 RepliesNo. Auto Rifles are for noobs anyway. Learn to aim.
-
2 RepliesMy K/D has been above 1.5 pre and post hotfix. I believe I have a 1.74 in Control, which isn't absolutely fantastic, but that's just from using the Shadow Price/ Plan C. There was a noticeable decrease in stability and my headshots are doing half the damage but I still wreck with my Shadow Price. I'd say they balanced it pretty well.

Lol had 4.3 in titanfall.
