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.

Smh. Full blown retard

1 RispondiModificato da nukethecow: 10/14/2015 3:38:36 PMSorry, but how exactly did you expect bungie to be able to tell the difference between your 310 spindle and any other one? It seemed pretty clear to anyone paying attention that all spindles would be nerfed. I'm sad for you that your attempt at circumventing the nerf failed, but it's not because bungie lied.
-
Should have waited till after the patch to infuse the invective, sorry you weren't paying attention.

Wow, you put the quote in your post and then misquote it in your comments.... [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 obviously applies to black spindles; all black spindles! [quote]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.[/quote] In this sentence "this new acquisition" is the black spindle, and "other weapons" are weapons other than the black spindle. Which they again reaffirm and emphasize by saying, [quote]None of those weapons will be affected by this change - only the Spindle.[/quote] They did exactly what they said they were going to do if you understand English, but they do tend to make everything ambiguous to the best of their ability, apparently...

After the nerf I simply infused my spindle with some blues I had been saving & a lucky 310 4th horsemen last night et voila I have a 308 spindle again! Really quite why they bothered with this nerf is beyond me... it inconvenienced me for the first 10mins & now it's back up to pre nerf levels already lol
-
Yes I agree with all the hate but they took long enough with the update that any one could have got a 280 one and had it back up to 310 in any short amount of time...still bad form Bungie bad form.
-
Morons reading way into shit.
-
You bought Legacy engrams and complained when it wasn't 280 as well?
-
Hail Hydra
-
Shut up, idiot.
-
This post nerfed my iq by 20 points...
-
2 RisposteYou are a special kind of retard. First of all, whoever told you that their spindle was unaffected, they're lying. ALL spindles were dropped by 20 attack value. Second of all, bungie meant in their post that if you used your 310 spindle to infuse it into a different weapon, that weapon would be unaffected, which was true. I know this because I used my 310 spindle to get my 1000 yard stare up to 307 and it was unaffected. So get your facts straight before you come on the forums crying about false information dumbass.
-
They made it clear. Next time pay more attention. The one you bought was suppose to be 280 so you still had a 20 light head start.
-
They said they would be changing only the Spindle and that's exactly what they did
-
That's why I used mine on my telesto, still 310 :)
-
Lol did you think you could really loophole around a spindle because the one you used wasn't the original drop?! Lmao

1 Rispondi[quote] 1. They never said the words "all spindles" or "20 point drop" or anything of the like. This is the original post. 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] That pretty much meant ALL spindles as they never stated only the dropped ones. They said if you infused spindle with other weapon they're fine. THEY pretty much stated Black Spindle regardless of which one was getting adjusted. No ones fault your clan is stupid.
-
Sorry to hear that, I was going to use my 310 spindle to infuse a blueprint bought one, but luckily decided to put it into a shotgun instead. Just grab some 3oC and hope some 310 specials drop.
-
It's your fault for making assumptions
-
Hi welcome to destiny! We're Bungie and we used to care about our product, but now we just want your monies! For $20 we can give you a 300dmg black spindle
-
2 RisposteYeah this same bs happened to me and I'm frankly fed up with this crap.
-
Modificato da WalkerBoy76: 10/14/2015 2:20:29 PMI agree it was BS to do it as a mass nerf to all instead of taking the time to do it properly. My new one was at 298 so now I have one that is lower than it sells for. They should at least fix the ones that came from the kiosk. Mine was infused with raid weapons not another spindle so by bungie statement should not have been touched
-
You actually just can't read.
-
It clearly states what happened buddy.
-
I bet you als complained about getting only old exotics from the legacy engrams.
-
B rent MSU come out come out where ever you are?
