This is the sloppiest solution ever.
The point was to make primaries relevant, not specials irrelevant
#1 on trending? Does this tell you anything Bungie?

Counter Arguments:
"[i]Special spawns so fast get over it[/i]": I don't think you understand how unnecessary an obstacle that is. Why nerf special if they make it abundant? It just makes the game annoying to constantly pick up special.
"[i]The game is better now[/i]": Just going to ignore you honestly you don't know what's healthy for the game because right now 95.6% of special kills in trials are sidearms and Icebreaker. I don't need to fight you, common sense will.
"[i]Wahh use a primary and adapt[/i]": Maybe you should've adapted last meta when you couldn't use a special

So we allll should've adapted to using a shotgun when that was the meta ? Cause sniping wasn't fun at all nor any other weapon given atleast 90 percent of the destiny community used a shotgun .....

I like how it is now. Fun how my fusion rifles aren't affected by the most recent update

5 RespuestasYeah no. None of your points have any data to back it up as to why special should be reverted. 1) Special needs to remain as special. Icebreaker, Invective and Sidearms are intended to be the counter to many of the problems that already existed with the ammo economy. Icebreaker ammo spawns slowly enough that it feels special and a 6 round mag is small enough with the low rate of fire to not be entirely OP. Icebreaker is not game breaking. Invective is too low range. It gets countered by TLW, any Handcannon, fusions and Sidearms. Special spawns frequently enough for it not to be underwhelming of "when is special going to come?" But deprives you of it enough to force you into primary fights. The solution was well achieved and the use of special now is special. 2) The game is better because many many things are viable now that were and were not viable before can be used now. LowRatePulses, Hand Cannons, Autos, Scouts, Sidearms. Shotguns are still solid. Common sense will defeat me? Use logic and data, good sir. 3) Special Shotgun warriors dominated the last meta. It was time for all special users to not dominate the game so much. It was time for primaries to rise and fulfill their name of being Primarily used. Welcome to the new meta son, where can I sign a petition against yours?

I love it. I've gotten so angry and dumb teammates because all they did was use special. If a guy is half a map away don't run at him with a shotgun use your damn primary. So many times if my teammate used a primary I wouldn't have died. it's the worst thing ever when you see you're with a teammate and you start shooting at an enemy, the enemy kills you, has a sliver of health left, and you see your dumb teammate that was right next to you hasn't fired a single shot and is charging at the guy with a shotgun.

21 RespuestasDe-bump. Dislike. No signature. I like this patch. The only thing this tells Bungie is that they have an overwhelming number of shotgun runners playing and as said by Bungie themselves, that's not at all what they wanted. This post just makes you sound lazy. Don't want to have to pick up special ammo? I basically spawn next to an unopened crate the majority of the time now... Shouldnt have to put a little (and when I say little, I mean VERY little) effort into getting ammo for a OHK weapon? Kids these days....typical. You should be given the world without having to lift a finger, right? Smh It seems as if the majority of people (not all) that complain about the ammo nerf, are people who main shotguns. Shotguns have gone unchecked for so long, its about time. Don't know whats healthy for the game?... uhhhh so its fine when shotguns and snipers are used "95.6%" of the time but its not fine when sidearms and snipers are used "95.6%" of the time... only because YOU use a shotgun.... (said to the shotgun mains) its all about you right? Smh

1 RespuestaSome people are unhappy with a major game-changing patch. What a surprise! I haven't gotten a chance to play in the new patch yet but it sounds to me like a great move by bungie. Halo was extremely successful and it took your special weapon you picked up away when you died, how is this any different? Yes destiny isn't halo but special weapons literally replaced primary's this past meta. I'm happy with the changes, I'm sick of being one shotted all the time, I enjoy actual gunfights in my first person shooter.
-
3 RespuestasI agree but only for TOO. For regular pvp it's been ok.
-
Signed... Or just lose reserve special ammo instead of all special ammo upon death.
-
8 RespuestasSome other guy posted a potential solution and I think it's a dam good idea. Say I'm using my longbow and have 4 shots in the mag and 4 in reserve, I get killed and when I respawn I retain the ammo in the mag but lose the reserve ammo. Stops people from stockpiling special and gives other special weapons room to breathe
-
I don't like that I lose all my special ammo. It should just be for shotguns.

Great post, perfect comebacks to all the counter arguments against you as well.

1 RespuestaDestiny isn't fun to me after this patch I could adapt in 2 days but it's so boring I don't want to
-

13 RespuestasThe crucible is unbelievably boring now, I don't have nearly as much fun as I did, though I understand how players that suck at pvp would enjoy it now. It's all about hand cannons now, last word and eyesluna or however it's spelled is all I see.
-
4 RespuestasPetition for all you pussies to shut the hell up.

People can still use secondary weapons as secondary weapons! They are not supposed to be used as primary weapons which was the case with shotguns equipped whole matches for easy 1 shot kills! The sheep will still follow the herd for the next meta or easiest way to get quick kills. This is life in the crucible! Kill and be killed! Enjoy the game.

Petitions are irrelevant
-
Support 100%. Yes they got rid of shotties, but now sidearms? >.<
-
1 RespuestaIts been an adjustment not cosistently having ammo for my favortie fusion rilfes (Vacancy, Saladins Vigil and Telesto).
-
Agreed.
-
U have special 95% of the game now instead of 99%. Wah wah
-
I will hold judgement if they make sidearms revert to mag and a half or 2 mags of ammo on respawn. Keeping 130 rounds after death is just a total lack of forethought by the programmers left on destiny.
