The Patch is Out, You Cannot Possibly Defend Bungie any Longer

This is long: but it needed to be said 1st of all Bungie how do you release a major patch when half of it is unintentionally bugged because of the change you made to hungering blade. That is unacceptable considering the amount of time it has been since the last sandbox balancing update. I'm starting to think that you didn't start working on this patch til like 2 weeks ago. Unacceptable. Now on to the changes you actually meant to make. I think 90% of them were uncalled for and will have a negative impact on the game- but I'll just hit the highlights. Most obviously blade dancer... The only thing in need of a nerf on blade was shinobu's vow- which imo they messed that up as well. But no you nerf the whole damn subclass. Give me one reason to run blade dancer. It now has a poor super, poor melee, and a poor neutral game. You killed it- great job. This alone is enough for me to say that your whole balancing team needs reworked- nobody in this entire community called for this. Onto special anmo- bungie this was the wrong way to go about making us use our primaries, but I'm sure you saw it as the easy way out and took it. The community has been screaming to buff primaries for months now- why don't you listen? This is going to slow the game down to a stalemate of team shotting and camping- nobody wants that. The last thing I want to touch on is your nerf to max armor builds. Having max armor was something cool that you could choose to customize your class with because it could give you small benefits here and there. Now why would I run it? How about instead of nerfing the armor stat you buff agility so that there is a good reason to run high agility. You are basically making customization pointless by nerfing these stats. This goes to all the subclass changes as well (accept for jug, that was a perfect change). It has become apparent now that bungie is purposely trying to slow this game down for god knows why as well as make every class play the same by nerfing all the cool things about each of them to the ground. They are trying to turn Destiny into Halo. I am losing faith in you bungie. I feel that a studio as incompetent as the one that released this broken patch could not possibly make a good Destiny 2. It is not too late though, if you want to get the trust of your community back I seriously recommend you reverse the majority of the changes you launched today. Take another month or two, rethink your whole balancing approach- and give us a solid April update- and this time listen to the people who actually play your game. Signed, A concerned player

  • It's not a great patch but I love the hand cannon change also I think that most of their resources are being put into destiny but I do think the bladedancer nerf was uneeded

    • he's right, it takes these people half a year to make a sandbox update only to nerf to the ground a subclass no one complained about and make Truth compelte garbage , not to mention breaking half the game with a supposed game coding mistake that messed up health regen for exotic weapons, armor, and subclass abilities, LOL and handcannons still 2 shot woohoooo!!!!!! best patch ever, no doubt...

    • It would make weapon balancing somewhat easier if there were only 3 archetypes per weapon type. Low, Medium, and High rate of fire. Hindsight is 20/20.

        • I haven't played Destiny in weeks and now after reading about this patch, I can say I have no desire to play it at all. I'm hoping Bungie's talent is all busy making Destiny 2 great and they've got interns doing these updates...

            • Ya know mate, I mostly agree with you. Some of the changes to blade were completely unnecessary. I for one have mained a hunter since yr 1. I recently started a warlock. My warlock barely has nova bomb, but I am currently maining that class. Hunter mains have been forced to use nightstalker, which is a good subclass, but removes 2/9 of the variety in the crucible. Truth nerf was just stupid. I kind of understand the need to nerf unit mag size so ppl don't continue to ape for 10 minutes straight. Hungering blade glitch shows Bungie's incompetence. But honestly, besides that, I like the patch. The primaries feel pretty balanced, and the special ammo nerf hasn't really affected the way I play. If you're good, you can stay alive for ONE minute in order to collect a special box. People's complaints about this seem rushed, like they haven't even tried out the new patch yet. The only people complaining a lot were the players who's favorite primary was the Matador 64. As a whole though, I feel that Bungie should hotfix the non-super health regen perk glitch, and remove the nerf to clever ammo. The RoF change was enough for that. Sincerely, A slightly less concerned Guardian

              • Im starting to wonder if they even look at peoples opinions or play their own game. The fact that they took over 5 months to even produce this heaping pile of trash with a cherry on top (cherry being primary buffs and jugg) is an embarrassment.

              • If you think this update was for the players then you are mistaken.. This update was purely for the activision shareholders. Regardless of the good or bad changes in the update. So activision can say, Yeah we still have lots of active players look we're still supporting the game by patching the shit out of it and nerfing all the popular weapons. I called a shotgun nerf and a sidearm meta months ago. I'm surprised that anyone plays this horseshit anymore. I can't wait for D2 to clean slate all the shit and start again.

                • The only thing you can do is stop playing the game. Stop logging in, stop giving them that number to say "oh look we're doing great" and make your voice heard. I for one don't intend on playing at all anymore because I don't believe they know what they are doing. how do you play test something for weeks then find out last minute you -blam!-ed up a ton of perks? removing special was the laziness way EVER to force people to use primaries and forget about some of the other "balancing changes". I'm just one man and won't make a difference by myself and that's fine, but hopefully Bungie figures things out before Destiny 2 because this update changed my mind from ordering it to a "just lets see how it is" first.

                  • Yep. Looks like it is time to move on from Destiny. It's been in my Xbone drive for too long. Time to hit the eject button and go play something else. Hmmm, how about Mass Effect 1-3 play thru again ready for Andromeda?

                    • Love the patch. Yeah, I mained blade, but I'm just as good with the other two. Back to basics with my gunslinger! Hate the Truth nerf though. Gotta find another PvE heavy for void burn :(

                    • The only thing I hate about the update is losing special on death. I have to get used to not being able to snipe from spawn but it's gonna turn into a huge camp fest come trials.

                    • I don't want to read this pointless post. I can defend Bungie and I am. This has been the best PvP update since vanilla PvP back in Year 1. You can't make me not defend Bungie.

                      • I've put a lot of time into this game as I was fine with previous patches but this one just kinda sucked the fun out of it for me... just not a fan of a sidearm/ nlb meta

                          • From my limited experience so far the game isn't being slow down. You just replaced shotty warriors with sidearm warriors. Slight increase in primary fights. Not as bad as people make it out to be. Handcannon change was really nice. Seeing less clevers dragons. More auto rifles. That'll probably die down as autos still aren't that great.

                          • If you want to blame anyone blame reddit not bungie they get most of their feedback from their not on these forums because most of the posts on here are just complaining about everything.

                              Honestly, this update barely affected me negatively in any way. Never used Clever Dragon, barely EVER used Truth, never used Health Regen perks or weapons in PvP because it made me feel like I was playing cheap, and I haven't used a shotgun in ages since Sidearms came out. Literally the update has made things easier for me, I was so tired of people killing me with Matadors from 30 feet away, and flinching my scout rifle with Clever Dragons from cross map. Just my opinion though, the word 'META' means nothing to me.

                              • [spoiler] also revert all nerfs to stormcaller(keep the reduced melee[/spoiler] Buff primaries, exotics are not what they are meant to be. Why is there a penalty for max armor? Maybe you should buff agility to compensate. And most importantly drop Activision , never ever make another contract with them. Both of you are at fault for this complete shit fest from day one cut and splice content for greed and false promises. Not enough content made for free from in game purchases unrelated to dlc(aka over priced poorly made chopped content)

                                  • Majority of people complaining probably havnt even played enough since the patch to realise its not that bad, special ammo spawns all the time..! blade dancers are still doing fine and ive seen multiple mow down a few people with the super, no radar for a second wow big woop! Bladedancer still a has a great grenade a reasonable super and decent neutral game.
