I love it, but i see no point in the scout rifle buff, icebreaker and black hammer are fine.
But after all i really don't care as long as that thorn and shotgun get there nerf
For the most part, I like it. I like it a lot.
Of course, I do have nits to pick.
I think the changes to The Last Word go a bit too far. Combining the hand cannon changes with the weapon changes seem a bit of overkill to me. (Although I certainly agree that the ADS glitch needed to go.) But maybe the buff to hip shooting accuracy offsets it. We'll have to see.
I don't have a problem with slowing down Icebreaker's ammo regeneration. But almost doubling the time seems a bit much.
Pulse rifles are my mainstay, so I'm leery of the changes.
I'll have to play with my collection of them after the changes before I can offer an informed opinion, but at a guess, their effectiveness against shielded enemies will drop significantly. (Not a surprise, it was that way at launch, after all.)
I never had a problem with shotguns being effective across a small room, so I'm not really sold on the changes. I credit their overuse as largely due to map design and the auto rifle/fusion rifle nerf.
My major thought was that the Hot Swap perk just outclassed both Shot Package and Rangefinder.
It seems as though fusion rifle are getting more nerf than buff, but we'll have to actually play with them to get a good feel for the balance. Maybe it plays out better than it seems.
I love the changes to scout rifles and auto rifles.
I like the changes to handcannons. I have no problem with the change to sniper rifles.
I am overjoyed at the changes to NLB, and am seriously regretting not picking up Hard Light when I had the chance.
Love it apart from ice breaker and the weird pulse rifle thing. Never seen a complaint that IB charges too fast, nor that pulse rifles are OP. otherwise, glad AR's got a little buff and that the HC's sound closer to what they should be (ie. Powerful at close range but not much good at long range)
I think bungee is just trying to make the game more enjoyable and require more skill rather than having dicks who's only kills in pvp are from shotguns, rockets, supers, and whatever cheap exotic they are using. It takes no skill to be a troll and ruins the game for everyone actually trying. I'm not saying the changes are perfect, but people getting mad because thorn is less effective can just go troll in some other game.
I'm cool with everything that was said except for the Ice Breaker. The time to regenerate ammo already seems long. It should NOT be increased to 8 seconds. The Black Hammer isn't even an exotic and will now be better than it, especially since it can now take ammo from your reserve. Does this not now classify as an exotic type weapon??? I'm glad it isn't, but the Ice Breaker SHOULD NOT be made worse than this gun.
EDIT: Wait a minute!!! Perhaps I'm confused... Are you telling me that they are changing the way the perk works on the Black Hammer that allows it to keep its ammo if it you land three critical hits??? PLEASE say it ain't so! :(
Bungee, please rethink the ice Breaker. Why break something that wasn't broke? No-one ever complained about it.
I'm just sick of them tweeking weapons instead of creating new things for us to do. Almost none of my long term Destiny friends even play anymore. How about nerfing boredom and repetitive play?
I liked everything about it, except for what they did with fusion rifles. They really need some sort of buff in PvE because they simply don't do enough damage at the moment
