So the Black Spindle nerf came today, something we all knew would happen.
Bungie made us a promise... They broke that promise.
Bungie, you told us that the existing Black Spindles that dropped at 310 would be brought down to 290, and that if we infused it into anything then what we infused it into would stick and not be nerfed.
So, my friends and I bought Black Spindles from the blueprint kiosk and infused our 310 Spindles into the kiosk ones, bringing them up to 307. Then, when I received a 310
Invective I didn't want I infused that into my 307 Spindle, bringing it up to 310.
I just logged on to check out the changes, and what is my infused spindle at? 290. My friends who had theirs at 307 are now at 287.
Excuse me Bungie but what the hell?? I get that the gun wasn't intended to drop at 310 and, even though we worked hard to earn them by running what was undoubtably the hardest thing I've ever done in Destiny, I understood the nerf announcement and planned ahead. You told us that if we infused a gun with it that gun would remain at what we infused it to. Well, I infused my hard earned spindle into another gun, admittedly another spindle, and you cheated me out of my best sniper. I followed your rules, your recommendations, and you cheated me. You cheated my clan.
I've never been legitimately mad at you, Bungie, for a change in Destiny... Until now. Give me back the gun I rightfully earned at 310.
Edit: I don't have time to respond to all the stupid comments so I'm going to sum this up here.
1. They never said the words "all spindles" or "20 point drop" or anything of the like.
This is the original post.
[u]Hello, Guardians.
Right this every minute, many of you are acquiring Black Spindle. Surprise!
Wouldn't you know it, there is a bug that is enabling some of these weapons to drop at 310 - that's 20 points higher than intended. In the near future, we'll be releasing an update that will adjust the Black Spindle to match the attack rating for other Year Two Exotics.
It has also come to our attention that you are using this new acquisition to Infuse your other weapons. Good on you. Have fun with that. None of those weapons will be affected by this change - only the Spindle.[/u]
The post refers specifically to "these weapons (dropping) at 310". There is no reference to all spindles or spindles attained from the kiosk.
It also says "None of those weapons (infused) will be affected by this change" It does not single out Spindles you bought from the kiosk, which technically are not the same as the one you received from the mission itself. Nowhere does it say that other Spindles would be nerfed.
Also, several people have had 300 or 302 spindles, on them or in their vault, that were unaffected. Meanwhile, my friend's spindle dropped from 307 down to 287. The only difference I see here, aside from a few attack values, is that his was infused with the 310 spindle, while the others weren't.
Did some of you get this right? Yeah, you did, and I'm glad for you and whatever gun you beefed up with it. However, had myself and others been the ones right many of us would be defending you right now due to the vagueness of Bungie's post, not calling you stupid or insulting your reading abilities.
I think we should all agree, however, that this should have been clarified, and not with a last minute tweet that those of us who don't use twitter/live on these forums couldn't see.
-
"Only the spindle" right there that was your indicator. If you infused the spindle into a spindle then the spindle will get needed regardless. We all knew this.
-
All spindles were nerfed. All of them. If you infused it into ANOTHER gun it that one wouldn't be nerfed
-
You are a dumbass read the last line of Deej's post. Or did you lose your attention span before hitting the bottom?!?
-
1 RespuestaIt was pretty clear that all Spindles would be dropped to 290, and only OTHER guns Spindles were infused into would be safe. That being said, it was a huge dick move by Bungie, basically just a middle finger to the players for no real reason. With so many glaring issues right now, the fact that this was a priority, coupled with DeeJ's snarky post, is troubling indeed.
-
When they said they would be dropping them to match existing exotics what did you think would happen? You could buy a 300 blueprint that should be 280 and in fish it to 310 and avoid the nerf? They never said all, your correct, but they never said those that dropped either. They said Spindle. The lack of qualifying which spindles should of let you know it was all Spindles. I now have a 310 1000 Yard Stare and my new Spindle is upto 308.
-
They didn't take anything away from you. The spindle in the kiosk was at 300 and now it is at 280 as intended. So they took away 20 points from your spindle that you BOUGHT AT 300 when it was intended to be at 280 in the kiosk.
-
2 Respuestasdon't forget they didn't even fix the darn scopes...priorities
-
So they actually didn't lie they said only the spindle would be affected and it was no matter the attack
-
Honestly how would they know the difference. You needed to wait until after the fix to get it back to 310... Unfortunate but predictable. :-/
-
That sucks, i agree. But let's be honest, what you and many others tried to do was pull a "i'll show you" on bungie, and keep your black spindle at 310 or close, and it backfired. You should have known this would happen. I knew. Lot's of people knew.
-
You're an idiot.
-
You read it differently then I did. You should not be this upset.

Let me point out a couple important lines from this quote... [quote]Hello, Guardians. Right this every minute, many of you are acquiring Black Spindle. Surprise! Wouldn't you know it, there is a bug that is enabling some of these weapons to drop at 310 - that's 20 points higher than intended.

[u]None of those weapons will be affected by this change - [b][i]only the Spindle[/i][/b][/u].[/quote] Other weapons generally refers to any weapon except for Black Spindle. They specifically said the Black Spindle would be affected and left it at that. You got another BS out of the kiosk hoping it wouldn't be nerfed. Why? They already warned you what was going to happen. Now your mad cause they did what they said they would do? Your reason for infusing and what Spindle you used is irrelevant. That is on you for over-thinking a blanket statement.
-
Man I am disappointed in the school systems ability to teach children how to read these days. Deej and Bungie did nothing wrong. You were warned.
-
Do you really think they would be able to tell the difference between your 310 and one that dropped? They also said all black spindles so I don't know what you were expecting.
-
10 RespuestasYou know you can always infuse it up back to 310 mines currently 302
-
They said ALL BLACK SPINDELS WILL BE NERFED . what could u possibly not understand about that
-
Same happened to me. Sucks! 287. From black spindle to black shitstack.
-
You might want to read that bungie post again. You missed something very important. Here......let me help you.... "In the near future, we'll be releasing an update that will adjust the Black Spindle to match the attack rating for other Year Two Exotics." Do you know what this means? Apparently not. The spindle was never meant to drop at 310. So they are adjusting it to 290. All of them. So it's on par with other exotic drops. Completely fair. You were holding a black spindle....so it got hit by the nerf. Doesn't matter where you got your current version. You were holding a spindle....it got nerfed. You attempted to cheat the system.....find a workaround......a loophole. Whatever the case may be. And you LOST. STOP CRYING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL BECAUSE YOU GOT CAUGHT.

2 RespuestasALL SPINDLES WERE NERFED EVEN MINE THAT I BOUGHT OF THE WALL IDIOT. Thats what you get for not listening and trying to find a loop hole
-
Never go full retard.
-
gg dude

Why would you do that. It was clearly written that only "ONLY" BLACKSPINDLE would be nurfed. Deej even give you a tip to infuse it on another gun other than spindle. How could you ever go wrong? Put a petition so deej could go Barney style on you and hold your hand and make step by step instruction. ie. Step 1 select a legendary/exotic special weapon Step 2 make sure it is not black spindle. 310 280 300 or even 999 spindle. As long as there's a word black spindle. Again not black spindle because only black spindle will be nurfed. BLACK SPINDLE, just in case you missed me saying BLACK SPINDLE will be nurfed. Step 3 infuse your black spindle to another legendary/exotic special weapon other than black spindle. Step 4 after nurf infuse that legendary/exotic to the nurfed Black spindle. Bungie should do something like this step by step make you feel stupid instructions for special people.
-
Boohoo. Just because you couldn't comprehend what was being said doesn't mean you're going to get it back. Get over yourself
-
It's hilarious when people make these mistakes and then try to blame anyone but themselves. Gave me a good laugh.

Smh. Full blown retard
