Starfire Protocol’s nerf was complete overkill
You don’t even notice it working anymore with how severely they nerfed it to 2.5% and it is WAY TOO MUCH it should’ve been 10 or 8%
This was clearly a kneejerk nerf there’s no way on Earth Bungie actually tested this and went “hmm yeah I think that should be good”
I’m telling y’all this thing is useless now it provides almost zero benefit over running any other exotic.

4 RespostasOverused exotic got nerfed into uselessness? Oh that's right, after a month people will forget about it, then a year from now when Bungie needs a quick "make people happy" moment, they'll buff it by a fraction of what it was in its glory days, and people will thank them. Welcome to live service gaming folks! Buckle those seatbelts, it's a long hard ride to nowhere!

If radiant counted as empowered then the exotic would have a strong ad clear playstyle, but as it stands you still have to be in a well or a rift, unsure of lumina counts as empowered
-
5 RespostasI feel bad for the guardians i've seen who are still using Starfire, i imagine they dont follow the news that much and still think it's as strong as before.
-
It might get buffed in a few seasons

Bungie killed John Wick's dog and blamed it on Starfire Protocol

1 ResponderEditado por D-Von, Kell of Tables: 5/26/2023 9:46:16 PMI ran the exotic through legendary lost sectors and just that small amount per damage tick was helpful throughout the runs. You arent gonna be able to spam 900 nades in a dps phase anymore but it still makes the cooldown go a small bit faster so it still helps in the long run. Just my two cents. In the previous state it was completely overpowered. Now it is in a more easier to manage state and they can slowly increase the nade regen if it falls off too hard. People are just too used to having nades regend every two seconds.

I mean its great if you need some extra glimmer and an ascendant shard back. Making a forum posting crying about it wont get it restored. Just delete it and start using sunbracers till the nerf it. Bungies biggest mistake is nerfing the best exotics without making a other exotics worth using. Starfire was just the best exotic for solar because every other exotic for solar (except Lunafactions and boots of assembler) require kills to work. So on raid or boss fights they are useless. They didnt need to nerf starfire...just make the other exotics better. This season ive been running Vesper so far for arc because hust the simple change makes in great in alot of content (its disabled atm cause it bugs with skyburner). And you can do that without making a crazy power creep. Oh and the ability spam is a lie because thinks to the buff to thunderclap has seen three builds where titans have basically been spamming it with almost zeeo cooldown lol
-
1 ResponderHOIL can relate in this bungie doesn’t want consistent ability spam so they are watching it’s really no surprise that companies now want to stop power creeping and switch up the metas
-
The real issue is Bungie Cryhards and the Neomuna Meat Riders demand constant change to satisfy the fact they don’t touch grass. Therefore, we have to deal with all the fallout to maintaining their illusion of content and grind. Nerf Starfire just compels folks to play the same content a different way…even if they were already having fun…
-
6 RespostasIt blows my mind how many of you in the comments are so disgruntled over a PVE exotic being really strong and then happy it got destroyed.
-
5 RespostasIts completely worthless now. Couple Well Locks I ran with last night were rocking lunas and sunbracers. With most switching to sunbracers, I think we all know a nerf to sunbracers will be lined up for next season. Its a typical bungie move
-
Yup. I refuse to buy its ornament because they killed it, then said here buy this. They screwed themselves out of money.
-
1 ResponderIt rewarded the best DPS in the game in exchange for being invincible and pressing a single button. You folks are silly. This is silly.
-
2 RespostasIt's designed to be this way lol. Last season was solar, now we are moving into an Arc/void season. It's what adds variety to the game. Find the new season Arc builds and abuse them!
-
It's not like anyone was or will be running a solar setup this season anyways. Aspect and surge pretty much dictates the meta now and solar didn't receive an invite from either.

Stripped out the melee range buff! No one asked for that! Warlock melee already sucked, now its just universally inferior! Bungie has zero clue what they are doing.

1 ResponderI tried it today...yeah it's vault fodder now.
-
Yeah it’s absolutely terrible. I really don’t know why they cannot balance ANYTHING.

Editado por Griever: 5/24/2023 6:34:32 PMWhat they should've done is either reduce it to a percent based on your ROF or damage per shot/ burst. Add a short cooldown to when it generates energy, like 20% and wait 2-4 seconds before you get more. Take away the second grenade and its scorch while using SP, but increase its damage and radius. Or reduce it to 10% and increase it by a small amount per 10 discipline. It would've been fine with one of these.
-
1 ResponderA starfire protocol really was completely destroyed, but the other arcana exotic OPHIDIAN ASPECT also died in PvP
-
I swear to God Bungie found those workers on Craigslist everything what they know to do is nerfing things to hell
-
2 RespostasAnd the double cherry on the top : 1. They FINALLY made an ornament for it and it looks sick. 2. Ikora now has a quest that rewards Starfire Protocol. LMAO
-
1 ResponderIt’s funny how popular exotic nerfs seemed to happen almost like a cascade. Stomp33S got nerfed (twice), HOIL got hit and then SP practically got brained over with a brick-sized nerf.
-
(Yes is poo now and is pointless to use all bungie care about is do you like the new ornament) because iv never seen any post in all my years on these forums asking for an ornament for starfire The last parts satire btw😆
-
7 RespostasAnd then have the balls to come out with an ornament and if anyone is going to use it anymore.

Editado por OBI-SWEDE KENOBI: 5/25/2023 9:23:07 PMNot even sure why this is a topic by now, has anyone missed the Bungie equation? If so, let me remind you: Fun + Bungie = Death to fun I could start a list with all the times Bungie has sucked the fun out of this game, but it would be a waste of time and the list -blam!- long, we’re talking Chinese wall long and as the Chinese wall you could see it from the moon.
