But I was already kicking ass with pulse rifles. Time to dominate.
If you get two friends to start it with you and then have them quit, I bet it will still eventually send in two replacements for your friends.

They seriously didn't fix the White Nail perk on Black Hammer and Word of Crota.

They will fix raid bugs if it benefits players, otherwise forget about it.

Also none of the raid bugs are ever gonna be fixed are they? They're just gonna keep ignoring it aren't they?

It is seriously bullshit that they have never fixed these issues. It is embarrassing to them and demonstrates a very poor relationship with players.
I don't level them up, but do collect em.

Nah, it's the 4-shot machine gun burst that annoys the bejesus out of me.

TLW is the most beautiful and satisfying weapon I've ever used in a shooter. Everytime I'm playing PVP with friends I'm constantly saying "omg tlw is so good". But then there are times when nothing seems to hit. Not sure if it's me or lag
Edit** why did they have to fuck with it :-/
Pulse rifles are worth using now? Wow glad they delivered.
I guess I won't shout at ck for using them now
Hehe apology accepted
I doubt shotguns are going to be "a lot less useful," but the concept of their viability being decreased equaling fusion rifles getting more annoying somehow is also lost on me
Yeah that wouldn't be particularly adequate anyway, sucks
ha, same, have to go do IT support for my parents after work too.
oh, word.

WOW
They introduced a bug to the Vex and just went ahead and partially broke a weapon because they couldn't fix it in time?
The epitome of Bungie here folk.
Embarrassing.

I just don't see it in high level end game play outside of a few situations (maybe). Shotguns will never be as viable as a sniper or fusion rifle at that level in PvE until they disincentivize long range enemy encounters or give them some additional class wide perks (like extreme stagger).
Is the Oversoul Edict really good?
Have one nearly maxed out (my only CE primary -- I don't raid much) that I can't wait to try out now. <3
Also, anybody tested the Valus cheese? Or has any information of that change to the armor piercing weapons?

Releasing a patch on a console is a way more complicated process than on PC, you have to deal with approvals and stuff. Basically you always have one or two versions of difference between your work version and the one the players are currently playing.
I deal with this kind of shit every day. ^^

Triplewreck is good, but if you want a look at the weapon balance in PVP, this guy is in a whole other league: http://www.twitch.tv/wishyouluckk

I think it's more a case of them discovering this bug after the submissions were made.

A bug we anticipated weeks ago, too.
Until they separate PVP and PVE we will get nothing substantial except boring weapons that have to work in both cases.

Just got 43 kills using Three Little Words in a Control game. Pretty sure that's my most ever. Bungie pls
Sure, and even with stagger they're nullified against Angry and typically Lightswitch too.
But there are a number of situations ("maybe"
) where they really are well-suited in endgame settings, killing Oracles, holding plates/confluxes against minotaurs (Void), non-Lightswitch rooms with multiple Captains (arc). I'm hoping I can get a group to try all switching to shotguns to rush down the Deathsinger, I really think it might work well. I actually have some interesting ideas about using one for the Bridge encounter too. There's no way shotguns will ever become the best choice for every situation in PvE but just having them be viable in some could inject some life into certain content for me.Shame it took them almost 6 months to buff them (longer if you count the alpha and beta). But yeah I'm glad too.

I don't know, seems to be a very logical bug that many gaffers anticipated. And to test it they just needed to choose Vex when testing PVP, common, Vex is like the most used weapon....
The bungie problem is that they don't separete the weapons in a proper way. They have the same balance for PVP and PVE, they have primare weapons that are the same "class" as special weapons and are affected by the same changes.

1 shotting oracles ftw! And yea for mobs of Thrall, maybe 1-2 shots to get shields away of captains. Maybe 1 shot shank with a solar shotty. There seems a lot more room for use now.
Must be a 2sk now right? That one is slow

Underwhelming patch. It wouldn't be so disappointing if Bungie patched their game every few weeks like most other online games worth their salt.
A game like this needs constant attention and a regular drip of bug fixes and quality of life improvements. Destiny has far too few updates.

Yeah... I know... I was there...
2 Horn drops in one day and I've been playing for, shit, hundreds of hours and I still haven't seen ONE. That just doesn't seem right.

Either my 10th Super Good Advice or 10 blue fusion rifles. I just can't decide which gun will be more worthless to have.

Yeah, I mean every little bit counts in making them better in PvE so it's not like it's unwelcome, but I don't see the point. The vast majority of the game's enemy encounters just aren't built around the shotgun game once you don't have a huge level advantage (and even then, still not so much) and the things it needs in PvE to be viable (like better range) would make them ridiculously OP in PvP. Either separate the two balances, or focus on balancing it for PvP.

It hits for 38 a headshot now. So if you land all six (two bursts) yes. Don't know what it was before.
Edit: Technically you could land one body shot and two burst someone.

I'm curious to see if anything comes from it and I'm sure I could be missing some situations that would be useful (all I could think of was the Oracles). The way the game discourages switching special and heavy weapons mid-game means they need to have a lot of uses though.

Same for me :|
People in my PSN party saying quit n start the game again, repeat until download start, trying out now.
Indeed and that's why they need some kind of alternate powers such as:
- Inflicting heave damage on an enemy gives you a temporary overshield
- Extremeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (konamiconference.jpeg) stagger capability
- Range for PVE increased
Stuff like that.
It was 34 a headshot pre patch which made it a 2sk, and it's even stronger now,
I will if I'm not too late.
I think about "wow I hate going back and forth to the tower" so much that I just don't even do it anymore. I think if you add up the time it takes you to go back and forth to the tower versus the time it takes you to level up three ballerhorns, it is much less time to max out all three. Yeah that's what I am going with.
EDIT: Top of Page! Celebrate with GIF.
Nice. I had a full auto one but sharded it- I don't find full auto very useful on slow weapons. The one I have now has that fourth burst perk, probably garbage.
