Hey man! Thanks for devoting this much time to this stuff. So Jon and I deal with the damage calculations on the weapon side and we generally stay away from the attack / level black magic. In general, I'd say you're pretty close with what you've got here. Nicely done!

  • Why don't you just tell us how it's calculated? It's not gonna be too hard for us commoners to understand.

  • So your saying you stay away from what you actually do as damage? When attack is actually the attack damage Bieng brought upon the enemy? I don't get why we even have a number on our guns then if you don't get us an exact calculation of what happens. Other then we'll..our gameplay. I wonder why my "hardlight" does 49 base damage per shot lol... That's just plain trash as a exotic auto rifle. Wait you guys nerfed a necessary gun because it was being used a lot Right? Lol

    I think this is why we don't get much communication from dev's/community managers. They don't even know how to answer our questions.

  • No shit, black magic my arse. What's a simple yes or no to a question, or just make it public knowledge to stop all the controversy. Unless they've ripped off another games mechanics and don't want to pay haha...

  • It's just something to keep the community engaged and wondering. Since there's not enough to this game, they won't answer basic questions to create some falsehood of wonder. Same thing with a supposed 6th VoG chest, same thing with whether or not Xur will sell Ghorn again. The last one isn't important, but it's a commonly asked question that they continue to avoid/don't have answers for their own fućking game. It's bullshit to make up for the nothingness of the game.

  • Deffinetly starting to think that, didn't play destiny for a week or two after working all this out, it's just such a flawed mechanic. And its been supposedly confirmed that gjallahorn has been removed from xûrs item list through data mining, and after last week's prediction I've put a bit more faith in megamanex and his "data mining"...

  • So what you're saying is you have no real idea how damage is calculated because you leave the nuts and bolts to the code monkeys?
