I honestly don't think the special ammo nerf is that bad. It makes people focus more on primary gunplay rather than special gunplay. Sure, they could make it so that you get a little more than 4 bullets per crate (maybe 5 or 6), but the change itself really isn't that bad. As for Bladedancer, I don't really see what all of the fuss is about (granted I don't play bladedancer), but I'll just have to go and experiment a bit there. The unintentional nerf to literally every other health regeneration perk really ticks me off though, so hopefully that will be fixed soon.

The probLem with the blade dancer nerf is that the dev said "it would annoy me when I would..." for the scenario he described. My point is you have to much power and play your game to much to say things like that since you could make such a big impact on it. Those words should have never came from that guys mouth because it ruined his credibility in my opinion.

[quote]This is long: but it needed to be said 1st of all Bungie how do you release a major patch when half of it is unintentionally bugged because of the change you made to hungering blade. That is unacceptable considering the amount of time it has been since the last sandbox balancing update. I'm starting to think that you didn't start working on this patch til like 2 weeks ago. Unacceptable. Now on to the changes you actually meant to make. I think 90% of them were uncalled for and will have a negative impact on the game- but I'll just hit the highlights. Most obviously blade dancer... The only thing in need of a nerf on blade was shinobu's vow- which imo they messed that up as well. But no you nerf the whole damn subclass. Give me one reason to run blade dancer. It now has a poor super, poor melee, and a poor neutral game. You killed it- great job. This alone is enough for me to say that your whole balancing team needs reworked- nobody in this entire community called for this. Onto special anmo- bungie this was the wrong way to go about making us use our primaries, but I'm sure you saw it as the easy way out and took it. The community has been screaming to buff primaries for months now- why don't you listen? This is going to slow the game down to a stalemate of team shotting and camping- nobody wants that. The last thing I want to touch on is your nerf to max armor builds. Having max armor was something cool that you could choose to customize your class with because it could give you small benefits here and there. Now why would I run it? How about instead of nerfing the armor stat you buff agility so that there is a good reason to run high agility. You are basically making customization pointless by nerfing these stats. This goes to all the subclass changes as well (accept for jug, that was a perfect change). It has become apparent now that bungie is purposely trying to slow this game down for god knows why as well as make every class play the same by nerfing all the cool things about each of them to the ground. They are trying to turn Destiny into Halo. I am losing faith in you bungie. I feel that a studio as incompetent as the one that released this broken patch could not possibly make a good Destiny 2. It is not too late though, if you want to get the trust of your community back I seriously recommend you reverse the majority of the changes you launched today. Take another month or two, rethink your whole balancing approach- and give us a solid April update- and this time listen to the people who actually play your game.

The camping and team shotting part is 100% true. Almost every match I've played today that's all the other team did. Very rarely did I actually have a one on one gun fight

Death to BUNGIEVISION

As a defender I shall defend Bungie. [spoiler]Jk nerf Bungie [/spoiler]

I'm actually really like the special ammo limitations. Blade dancer would be fine if they hadn't nerfed blink and QuickDraw. Idk why they nerfed hungering blade, but it doesn't matter that much. If you can't kill a group of people now because you can't auto heal, that makes sense. Arc blade is still pretty great imo. I like how people are less committed to special weapons (makes the game primary usage), and I love how often special ammo spawns. Maybe the sniper use could be limited and sidearms could just get the basic respawn amount of ammo after dying, but I'm liking this. Autos are viable, other pulse rifles are viable, hand cannons are viable (still not fast firing but still), and scouts are more usable. At least for now while not everyone is using the meta, we can enjoy it. I thought I'd hate all the changes (i do hate some like a few of the class revisions with blink, blade dancer, and stormcaller melee), but overall, the game is more fun. Hawkmoon is actually doing well and very fun to use. This post was really long, but it's like I'm writing down all of my emotions XD. Have a nice day, and I hope you can feel the same way I do about the patch. :) have a nice day, and know that there is so much content out there that you can still enjoy yourself in another game or watching videos or even doing a hobby in the real life :)

Best fix ever, Thank You Bungie!

I feel there is a really good bladedancer main on the bungie testing team.
