The new patch is out, and in record time the beginings of a new, and possibly the second worse meta has started to take ahold. It's frustrating, because it's always one step forward and two steps back with Bungie when it comes to these weapon balances. Either they've lost it completely, or there test team doesn't do as much as they say they do. Anyways, here are changes that absolutely need to be made, or at least considered if Destiny is to correct it's course and avoid a legacy of stagnant metas and poor balancing:
The Last Word - Take out the ability to aim down sights on this gun. BOOM problem solved.
All Snipers - Res Snipping shouldn't be a thing. Short Range Scopes shouldn't be a thing. Aim assist stats above 25 shouldn't be a thing. Getting hit should pull you out of aiming down the sights (a la Halo). BOOM problem probably solved.
Shotguns - Alter the Felwinter's Lie/Conspiracy Theory D shotgun archetype to have lowest base range of all shotguns, and remove all range boosting perks. Implement a wind up time and gating effect for sliding. Remove weird damage fall off implemented in patch 2.1.0 It just made every other shotgun archetype unusable. BOOM problem solved.
MIDA Multitool - Either lower base damage by a significant amount, or lower it's stability significantly. BOOM problem solved
Preemptive Thorn nerf - Slow down rate of fire. Or it'll go right back to being the thorn in our sides all over again if they bring it forward, trust me.

1 RispondiYou are the reason this game is going down the toilet. The meta now is your fault. The next meta will be your fault. Stop making them RUIN PVE weapons, Deal with the game as it is and move to another if you can't handle it you -blam!-ing scrub.

This game will never be balanced by design... they can try all they want, but it is not designed to be balanced. All they are going is shifting the meta with each patch while increasingly weakening the players DPS patch by patch.

Modificato da Scorpius XX1: 12/14/2015 6:14:32 PMIn other words the weapons that kill me. The only one I'll agree is a problem are the snipers. I want to be able to ads my hand cannon if I choose. Secondly, Mida is not the only scout with great stability. If you are going to look at its stability then you might as well look at scout rifle stability as a whole. But if you did then they really wouldn't be scouts would they? As far as Thorn goes, lol sounds like someone is having Thorn night terrors. A preemptive Thorn nerf? Lol lol lol

11 RisposteWeird, I stopped getting breastfed as a child.

2 RisposteLmao. You want this game to be like Halo so much? Go back to that worthless excuse of a game. Guardians was my most regrettable purchase this year. Destiny is fine, but some guns are op. The last word has taken a rise once again, but it is easily countered by just getting a bit of distance from the user.

This solves absolutely nothing. You're merely backing players into a corner in terms of weapon choices by severely handicapping usability. Which is the same exact thing Bungie is doing.

4 RisposteI'm going to respectfully disagree I loath pigeon holing and that's what a lot of these seem to do I dislike the vindictive nerf to the old long range shotguns you suggested, I think all shotguns really needed was a damage nerf, to make it so they only removed half the health opening people up to shotgun bash, after that leave the guns as they were before the grand weapon nerfs These are my observations and personal beliefs not anything to be taken as a gospel the only person I speak for is me thank you.

5 RisposteI'm going to respectfully disagree. Everything needs a massive buff. If i shoot you in the face with a handcannon you should die period same with every weapon. I headshot kills all day everyday. Supers need a massive buff to kill everyone on the map everytime there used even the person who used their super. Grenades should be a one hit kill. Only thing that needs a nerf is melee. I've hit someone in real life and they don't instantly die so melees need to be nerfed they need to do like 20 points of damage

Modificato da stadwick: 12/13/2015 10:34:40 PMAm i seriously the only one who noticed that pulses got much harder nerf then brought up before patch, and that autos got no buff whatsover? Dont try telling me .78% is a buff. Autos still cant compete as a class. Doctrine can, but that thing fires soo fast it better be able to compete

6 RisposteAiming last word down the sights doesn't work as well as hip firing anymore. Miss is balanced. Have knowledge before speaking
-
4 RisposteRemove yourself from the crucible and cry yourself to sleep. BOOM problem solved.
-
1 RispondiSo if I can't res snipe should you be aloud to shotgun me off revive. Bungie should just make it so shotgunners get blasted against the wall should they attempt to shoot a revived enemy. Better yet a revived enemy should throw out lightening and kill anything in proximity
-
1 RispondiMIDA is fine, it's everything else that is pure garbage. So much that TLW is pretty useful again and what does that say? Archetypes need a boost. MIDA is good in PvP and PvE and that is what balance is. I don't see why all these other weapons are absolute trash.
-
No. How about make all primaries as powerful as the current best primary. Make all specials weapons a one hit headshot in their intended range. Make shotguns have slightly more range than a warlock melee. Reduce fusion charge up time. Bullet drop and less bullet velocity with sniper rifles. Basically make the weapons better overall and the game harder.

Someone's bad

Surpreme Butthurt! I SUMMON THEE!!!!!

1 RispondiRemove the ability to aim down sights? Retarded. Adapt or die. Git güd. [spoiler]BOOM[/spoiler]

5 RisposteThis is the worst list ever. I actually threw up.
-
12 RisposteThese would solve nothing. The latest patch has made shot guns beautiful now.
-
1 Rispondi-blam!- off
-
16 RisposteI don't see any fixes here, I just see ruining more weapons.

Not a single good ideia. You are just giving them ideas on destroying every weapon you mentioned. :/
