Nerfing Luna’s & NF won’t fix spam problem

Update: before you read just want to say thank you to everyone for their feedback. I now understand why the gun is being nerfed. This post may change over time given what I know now. Please excuse anything that may seem completely off. ____________________________________________________ Bungie, I’m having an issue with issue with competitive recovery/carries that are still spamming the fireteams finder on the D2 app. Bungie, I understand why you have to nerf the weapon but I am really getting annoyed with all of the recov carries. People spend hours grinding for these weapons. From recent comments, a player argued that these “ladders” people call them are ways to get more people to play the game. Makes sense which is why I can understand one would turn their heads away from the issue. A solution that was brought to my attention on this thread was making separate competitive playlists. Solo playlist & fireteam playlist. I’m not sure how that would look with 2-3 stack players maybe add a mixed playlist on top of the two listed above? As much as I want to get to legend in comp at least once, it may be less motivation if a lesser not forgotten is the only thing that’s up there for rewards at that rank. Thank you all for the feedback and I hope you find this post helpful. Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part. Thank you for letting me share. Besides this nerfs, guys are actually doing a great job with the game! Keep it up!

    • The issue with the guns is that they have a low skill perk that is a full blown advantage AND is locked behind players. ^ this was not the first 4 years of destiny and therefore the majority of its dedicated players do not like this concept nor were they accustomed to this scenario. Bungie literally has stated that they have a vision for the average ttk and average k/d ratio and they design the mechanics accordingly. Yes, there are far better players that can and do go against the grain... but this is their stated vision. The biggest issue is that these rewards should not have been as strong as they are. Great players should have their skill rewarded, no argument... but you do not give them weapons that actually removes skill to use. Luna needs it change.. I would actually be all for the not forgotten staying as is with actually being exotic and magnificent howl only works on three consecutive crits on one target.

    • I understand how you feel but from one luna recipient to another let it go. Luna was fun and a headache to get but it is being nerfed to give people who aren't as skilled a chance. You have 2 options 1:quit and never invest again or 2: Overcome and adapt. I already know which one you are gonna do but i could be wrong. Service revolver will take its place and than nobody will have an excuse.

    • Pinnacle weapons should have never been introduced, Meta's change in this game, so those weapons were never going to go untouched. Bungie should have never introduced Pinnacle weapons knowing that people that worked for them are going to be upset when they do get nerfed and the meta changes, it was a bad idea to begin with. We didn't have pinnacle weapons in D1 and we still played PvP, because it was fun, now it's....I don't even know what to call it now...

    • Dude you realise giving an overpowered weapon to somebody who is already very good with that kind of weapon and the quest to get it requires that you fight people with said skills and weapon is simply stupid. It is being nerfed because anybody against it simply stands no chance. There have been times where I'll shoot my opponent in the back of the head and he whips around and just melts me with a Luna's because it is so op. It needs this nerf. Either that or the quest needs to be changed. But I have an idea that the latter would make people angrier.

      • That’s not even remotely the reason for the nerf. It’s a Sandbox nerf. Not a QoL nerf.

      • The PvP meta needs to change with every season. It’s what made D1 awesome. Buffs and nerfs every season without fail, with new additional weapons essential for each meta, is a splendid model.

      • [quote]The whole argument to Nerf Luna’s Howl and Not Forgotten mainly stems from the issue of paid competitive recovery/carries that are still spamming the fireteams finder on the D2 app.[/quote] That's not where the main arguing stance towards nerfing LH an NF stems from. The main arguing stance derives from the weapons position in the primary weapon sandbox, in comparison to other viable choices or possible counters.

      • that's not why. While I don't agree the perk needs to be changed, the rpm makes sense. too many people have these "super rare" guns now, because they paid for them. people are sick of seeing them. actually tbh, as someone with not forgotten, I'm a little over the meta myself. I'm okay with the 150 change. I just want the gun to not be worthless in pve.
