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.

Haha. You infused your black spindle into another black spindle... The spindle you bought from the kiosk needed a power correction too. I put mine into my 1000 yd stare, and it is still at 310.
-
So much rant..... Bungie - black spindles will get nerfed You - I'll infuse it with another [u]black spindle[/u] I mean come on .... Do I need to go further into this ? .....

You're ridiculous

I'm glad I infused my black spindle into my Stillpiercer, now I don't feel so bad about losing my 310 version of it.

3 RepliesThey meant the guns you infused black spindle into, so lets say you used your 310 black spindle to upgrade a 300 telesto, the telesto would be upgraded to 308 and would stay at 308 after the patch. ALL black spindle's were getting a 20 light level nerf no matter what
-
Edited by GreenD614: 10/14/2015 10:26:24 AMYou knew what was going to happen. They said all black spindles, including ones in inventory, would be taken back. So you thought you could infuse your black spindle and that somehow it would cancel out what they said? You should've just infused it into another sniper and waited. Just play the raid. You'll have it back up to 310 eventually.
-
Dude it was pretty clear what they were going to do. Why did you infuse before the patch? Was pretty reckless
-
If black spindle = 310 then set to 290

5 RepliesEdited by Ve7n00m: 10/14/2015 9:58:55 AMIt has also come to our attention that you are using this new acquisition to Infuse your [b]OTHER[/b] weapons. Black Spindle not included in other weapons!!!!! If you can't comprehend information that's your fault!!!! ALL Black Spindles were dropping at 20 points higher than intended, the Kiosk version should have been 280 (like theother Exotics in the Kiosk)
-
Mine went into my thousand yard stare as soon as I found out the nerf weeks ago. So that's at 308 I bough a load more at 300 to put into other weapons so nearly all my specials are at 300 or 310. Infused a bspindle back up to 290 last nite next raid weapon or exotic is getting put back into it.
-
Bs thanks bungie for nothing ever
-
Well.. At the end it says the only thing that WILL BE EFFECTED is the spindle.. Your spindle was at a different light than intended. So all spindles got nerfed to where they should be. Just cause I'm pointing thus out doesn't mean I agree. dirty dirty trick. But they didn't lie..i wonder.. People who got a spindle from the kiosk, those are 280 right? Did those stay 280 or go to 290?
-
Would it not make sense that the drop in light would be made across the board on all spindles. This seems fairly logical, why take the time to differentiate between new spindles or those that droped from the mission. The drop in light was also meant to affect those that were purchased at 300, as it made it to easy to infuse other weapons to a high level. I immediately understood what was meant and my spindle was promptly used to infuse another sniper.
-
I thought they were pretty clear ALL spundles would get reduced to 290. You shoulda jacked somethin else to 310 so u could re-infuse ur spindle.
-
That's a lot of words just to admit ur dumb

1 ReplyWhy so many people who have no reading comprehension skills on these forums?

Says Bungie never mentioned "20 point drop" Post the message from Bungie as proof which reads "...20 points higher than intended" Seems legit

Mine went form 307 to dismantled faster than the update and I'm glad my 1000yd stare is siting at 310 :)

[quote]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.[/quote] This here includes blueprinted Black Spindles. All blueprinted exotics are 280. Black Spindle's blueprint was glitched at 300. It, and any already blueprinted Spindles, were lowered by 20 points to match other exotic blueprints. Sorry bro.
