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.

B rent MSU come out come out where ever you are?
-
Not going to read your whole post but they told everyone that the black spindles were getting nerfed new and infused or not
-
Lol stopped reading when I realized you did not understand bungie. 😂
-
idiot... you do know we are all laughing at how stupid you are.
-
If you are raiding on the regular each week, it isn't terribly hard to get the gun back to 308-310
-
They mean infuse black spindle into a different gun, not the kiosk black spindle. Idiot
-
1 RispondiThis community sucks. You're all Jenks. This dude did exactly what bungee told him he had to do to keep his 310 spindle.

Modificato da druskq: 10/14/2015 1:55:27 PMLong post to admit you didn't read what Bungie communicated pretty clearly. Did you buy the legacy engram, expecting a year 2 exotic?
-
Should of 'told' people they were going to nerf Everything the kiosk version was used to infuse, should of even Done it but it's too much money to fix, nothing a proper publisher/dev wouldn't, just these tight bstrd's, the mission (310) version should of stayed, mistake or not, but limited to one per account!.. nice how they priorities innit.

1 RispondiModificato da TheWayHeWept316: 10/14/2015 10:46:06 AMI disagree. And yes I'm pissed about this entire fiasco. But Deej said we can infuse but that the spindles would be fixed. Some folks took that as I'm not infusing into another spindle. Others infused into another spindle. The ones that didn't, thought, I'm not going to risk wasting a 310 weapon by infusing it into another spindle. That's what I thought. Deej specifically, as you just showed us, said the spindles would be patched. You and many others thought you'd outsmart Bungie. Now your mad. I get it. But you and the rest of us only have one reason to be mad. That's that they didn't just fix FUTURE spindles and leave our 310 spindles alone as spoils of war. To be mad that they did what they said is just sour grapes. I see why you did what you did. He message was vague. But it's precisely that reason, the mysteriousness of his post, the lack of clarity that it possessed, that should have given you pause before infusing your one and only 310 spindle, into yet another spindle. I'd rather be safe then sorry. I'm safe. You're sorry.

1 RispondiModificato da Sir_Grillalots: 10/14/2015 1:36:31 PMThis was spelled out early from the first day Black Spindle dropped. ALL Black Spindles would get a 20 light level reduction. Doesn't matter where you got it or what you've done to it. If it's an exotic sniper rifle named Black Spindle, prepare for the nerf bat. Inability to read or follow directions is something you are apparently struggling with.
-
No offence but for players who got it at 310 I'm not crying for you because anyone yet to get it won't have same perk of the 310 You just got the toy first and they are tidying up there mistake However An intelligent thing would be to only ever let a play hold 1 of them ever at one time and keep the 310 rating but them I'm using logic in a bungiehole situation so I'll shut up now
-
Yeah it plainly says the spindle will be nerfed. It didn't say just dropped ones, it said the spindles. Funny how everyone I knew with it and myself knew exactly what they were doing. Perhaps your comprehension skills need some work. I had other weapons to the side for this. My spindle is 303 now.
-
You get horrible raid guns, or 310 exotic dupes to bring it back up. Don't worry it will be ok.
-
I'm surprised people think Bungie are trustworthy people that stick to their words.
-
Read the end carefully, is says the weapons won't infused won't be touched, only the spindles. Sorry to say it, but they did warn us
-
You are dumb go rant somewhere else you entitled bitch go to school and learn something
-
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. Only the Spindle The Spindle Maybe you should have infused it onto something that wasn't the Spindle.
-
2 RisposteI'll put up with this BS for now, but 3 words Bungie. Star Wars Battlefront.
-
3 RisposteDoh, stupid. They Said every spindle would get a 20light nerf. Every spindle! Other weapons you infused with the spindle would be left alone. But all spindles would get a 20base attack nerf. They did what they said.
-
Oh just head desk.
-
1 RispondiI really don't understand how anyone though the above would work tbh.
-
You probably should have waited till after the nerf to do that.
-
2 RisposteDoes anyone else find it funny that he posted the proof that Bungie told us to get rid of the 310 Spindles and he's still saying they lied?
-
1 RispondiModificato da Aqua: 10/14/2015 1:24:51 PMYou were supposed to infuse your blackspindle into a DIFFERENT WEAPON, not another Blackspindle. The game can't tell the difference between an exotic that you bought and one you acquired while playing.
-
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.
