Taken from weekly update:
"Further improve the balance of encounters by limiting high-damage weapons"
This statement [b][i]perhaps[/i][/b] refers to primary weapons. So what primary weapons are high damage(high dps) weapons?
Most primaries have a TTK(time to kill) of around .8-1.1 seconds. Several weapons are far out of this range. [b]Other primaries simply cannot compete. With a more Primary focused crucible, changes to these weapons are likely.[/b] These weapons are:
*Thorn - .36 seconds of engagement/~.9 seconds to kill
*TLW - .56 seconds to kill
*Hawkmoon - .4 to .7 seconds to kill
*Red Death - .67 seconds
Whether you disagree with nerfs or not, let me know what you think.
If you disagree with my [b]prediction[/b], let me know what you think will be nerfed.
Edit 1: For the most part, there has been a healthy discussion in the comments section. The crucible designers don't want a clear choice of what to use in PVP. With this next update, a more primary focused crucible will equate to a more exotic primary saturated crucible. Ice breaker and invective will be viable; however, that's it. Among the exotic primaries, if you're not using an exotic handcannon or a pulse rifle, such as red death, you're at a disadvantage. If handcannons aren't patched in 1.1.2, I believe it's inevitable that it will eventually happen.
Edit 2: Expect Auto rifles to be buffed back to pre 1.1.1 values.
Edit 3: I want to make it clear that I am also making this prediction from the amount of Crucible experience I have, coupled with developer trends. [i]In the event that Exotic handcannons are not nerfed[/i], expect these weapons to saturate the crucible and lessen weapon diversity.

Missed the ENTIRE portion of how they are lowering SPECIAL ammo drops did we ;) Seriously a sentence out of context is not a good premise to write a post on...
-
Just go -blam!- yourself, you unskillful -blam!-
-
Why not just make the crucible completely even, everyone have same gun or at least same stats same gear same everything. Then what will everyone say needs nerfed
-
Needing the Ghorn...
-
They are talking about heavy... Most likely Ghorn :(
-
As long as it's just PvP. They have showcased that they can keep the 2 seperate so there is no more excuse to -blam!- up PvR cause of whiny bitches in PvP.
-
I don't see this anywhere in the 04/09 update. I don't see them nerfing exotic handCannons when the UniversalRemote still has a shotgun TTK which trumps them, and has range near what Felwinters does
-
2 RisposteAs long as they dont -blam!- them up for pve im all for that
-
24 RisposteRemember when a game was launched and you played it and that was all? No changes were made during its' life cycle. Any "mistakes" were corrected in the next game. The one thing that is causing me to lose interest in Destiny is the constant tweaking. If you have to keep changing your product, that's because you don't know your product or audience to begin with.
-
I was thinking the same thing
-
NOOO DONT BERF MY BABY HAWKMOON NOOOOOO JUST NOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Just going to be throwing shotguns straight back into our hands
-
Not true the last word kills way way way faster than thorn
-
46 RisposteWhat they need to do is buff scout rifles. 4 headshots to kill in pvp is retarded.
-
I'll still kill you with my last word and thorn ... Get gud
-
Modificato da ShadowStrider09: 4/12/2015 2:58:53 AMTLW and hawkmoon's are way faster than thorn, it's just the burn that makes people prioritize it, whenever I get shot by last word it's under a second and I die wondering: "when did heavy ammo come? was that a Jolder's hammer?" I wish crucible had a mode where everyone had the same weapons, so it was actually fair and relied on skill, not who has the better shotgun and hand cannon, but please make this not affect PvE.

2 RisposteModificato da Mighty Albatross: 4/12/2015 1:49:05 AMI'm cool with this as long as they don't affect pve. We pve players are tired of having our favorite weapons run into the ground. And when you nerf weapons people will quickly find the next most powerful thing.
-
2 Risposte.36 for thorn?
-
Why the fuxk is Felwinters Lie not on this list. Everyone and their damn mom uses that piece of shit.
-
Yay!!!!!!!!!!! Now I can be successful with something other than thorn.
-
4 Risposte.36 seconds to kill? It takes way longer than that
-
7 RisposteJust give us the only melee playlist so it can be balanced. Jeez.
-
good thing I don't use handcannons
-
No. This is specifically referring to the changes to special and heavy ammo drops. "Limiting" is not the same as balancing. Even if you numbers were accurate (which they aren't), these have nothing on the ttk of shottys, snipers, FRs, and launchers. HMGs are a bit slower, but have more kill potential to balance this.
-
Modificato da x343NINJAx: 4/12/2015 2:19:15 AMI'm pretty sure what they meant by limiting high damage weapons is that shotguns and fusion rifles would not be used as often...

Thank god
