A 45% PvE Shotgun Nerf???
What on earth provoked Bungie to do such a drastic nerf? I understand tinkering with PvP shotties but freaking 45% in PvE??? Absolutely ridiculous and an unnecessary neutering of a quick secondary option for close encounters.
This one puzzles me.

Well, we don't like that shotguns are useful now. We actually hate that. We hate that shotguns are killing Minotaurs and Ogres easier while you're risking your life. We want you to risk your life and actually die. So, we're excited to announce that - starting with Destiny patch 2.0 - SHOTGUNS ARE NOW SHITTY AGAIN! We hope you're as excited as we are to go into strikes with our shotguns and get absolutely f[b]u[/b]cking mauled by Captains, Minotaurs, Ogres, Knights and even Vandals with yellow health bars. We're so excited for this update that - for a limited time only - if you throw money at the screen, we'll even ruin every single Year 1 weapon perk because we just absolutely hate everything about Year 1. Wait, we already ruined the Year 1 perks? Oh well. Just throw money at the screen because we want you to. WOO! YEAR 2, [b]FUC[/b][b]KERS.[/b]" - Luke Smith, 2015

6 RepliesI too was amazed that they did this. If the original buff was +100%, doesn't a later -45% very nearly negate that and restore it to the original value? Seems pointless to have ever buffed them.
-
The reason they got a damage reduction is the weakening powers of nightstalker/sunbreaker. If they remained at their pre-2.0 state, we would be 5-shotting strike ultras with anchor while they cannot do anything, thus defeating purpose of the challenge

6 RepliesThe sad thing about this post is that most of the the people who reply don't know how to make equations properly.

1 ReplyWhen they announced weapon tuning it was said to be a 10% nerf in pve. Why the shit did it jump up to 45%
-
They buffed them by 100% way back, and reduced it by 45% now. So... big deal

48 RepliesNone of you people are remembering how truly bad shotguns were when this game dropped.

45% is huge on paper, but running around I haven't really noticed much different at all. Did they confirm 45%? Because IMO, it doesn't feel like it could have been more than 4.5% (typo?). My shotty seems to knock back higher level enemies more often, too. So getting up close in PVE doesn't seem as risky.
-
The shotguns need to be super close to be effective. First the risks of getting so close did not pay off, damage was too low. So they buffed the damn things like by 200%, wich made any shotgun a death dealing machine on pve. Now they nerf it back like wtf? Bungie has 0 common sense.
-
Just when they were usable again, they killed them.
-
Shotguns are broken.
-
Especially when bosses have so many one shot close quarter mechanics, it's risk vs rewards and we got f[i]u[/i]cked hard lol
-
Video game balance changes should be 1%~10% % change one way or the other. Developers who make these insane changes only prove they lack experience. As it stands now as of 2.0.0 shotguns are broken. Shelving all shotguns until they are fixed.

Edited by Vesta Rips: 9/9/2015 10:43:52 PMI agree, and I thought it made boss encounters more interesting! Risking that close melee encounter to do a chunk of damage instead of sitting and sniping behind a rock. Captains already shrugged buckshot slugs of off them! It just makes the game more campy.
-
I agree. Shotguns were amazing. 45% is wayyyy too much
-
shotguns used to be crap and no one used them....then they got buffed x 2 and more people used them....and now they take them back to when no one used them again. Yeah that makes sense......
-
i had an old DO shotgun that had a perk to hold 7 bullets. it still says I have the perk but im reduced to the original limit of 4. completely ruined how awesome the shotgun was on pve.
-
Remember how Bungies reasoning for the buff was because everyone just used snipers in PvE and they wanted more diversity? Now everyone is gonna go back to using snipers. How about that?

10 RepliesBungie - Hey nobody is using shotguns! Lets make them 2x more powerful! Fast forward 4 months Bungie - Hey people are using shotguns! Lets make them 45% less powerful! PERFECT SENSE. Kudos you bunch of super geniuses.
-
I agree. The one thing Bungie does that pissed me off is NERF the SH1T outta EVERYTHING. Cant stand nerfs and I think Dante wrote about a special hell just for nerfherders.

1 ReplyShotguns are really bad now it took me 6 shots with found verdict to kill a fallen captain major
-
Well their goes my fun times with shottys...
-
Ya this nerf confuses the sh!t out of me, completely unnecessary.

Stop -blam!-ing with the weapons!!!! Make a decision and live with it bungie! Your more wishy washy than politicians
