I thought so, but with all the people mad/quitting it was really apt.

I'm just not sure what they're thinking at this point in terms of the future of the game. I don't think they have a real plan and it seems like these weapon balances are poorly thought out at best.
Down. Goes. Holyfield.

Come on in. I've got two relative new people on my fireteam already. We can all die joyfully together!

You would dismantle the Suros master race weapons? Shame. Shame. Shame. Shame. Take a walk through kings landing.
nerfing the TLW ADS range sucks. that requires some skill to use.

Thanks for clearing that up. Yeah if you land 5 body shots, guardians should already be dead anyway. But it might be more viable for PvE?
They were probably thinking that a legendary weapon gained from a normal mode raid shouldn't be so ridiculously powerful.
Probably that the white nail was an insanely powerful perk (better than most exotics) that reduced several bosses to nothing more dangerous than a dreg.

A little bit surprised that no one has mentioned the horseshoes and grenades nerf for rocket launchers. That's the nerf that seemed odd and annoying to me.
You must not have played pvp these past few months
Believe me I've played plenty. When people with shotguns get close to you they kill you. That seems OK. I've had a ton of fun with TLW backing up on shotgun rushers. It doesn't bother me that much.
And maybe my favorite change they've made was making shotguns viable in PvE so to me it's not worth it.

I think its ok for it to be powerful but it was downright broken for some bosses.
fuck that scene. I waited 5 seasons to see the royal body and I get shitty copy paste
just as bad as these ballerhorn nerfs
It was pretty much an exotic in disguise. I think this might be for the best. Icebreaker nerf is just weird though. No one even uses it that much anymore.
The problem is that they don't really get all that close to you. The number of times I've been killed by Felwinter/Matador 64 from outside what I consider to be "close"... it's really silly.

Seriously icebreakers were pretty much already being ignored. Now Bungie has made sure they are going to get sharded.

When you proc the White Nail perk right now, you get all three bullets you fired back in the magazine similar to how Mulligan or SGA work. When the patch hits, you'll get 3 bullets taken from your reserve ammo. It's literally now just a perk that saves you reloading until your reserve ammo is completely empty.
Probably that a weapon which can grant continuous, immediate and unlimited ammo has an excessively powerful perk.

Ill keep mine to remember the good times.
Thats fucking insane, WTF, they are going to fix that I bet. BUNGIE NOOOOOOOOOOO
It's odd and annoying it wasn't stronger, yes.
Once broke my habit of getting so close to use my shotgun and realized just how far back I could shoot with my Felwinter was game changing in PVP lol

Yeah that "close" is really not close at all.
Instead of chaining precision hits for potentially infinite shots, you instead pull ammo out of your reserve ammo, so you will eventually go through all 18 or so bullets before being out of ammo.

Honestly, I really liked all the changes they are going to make with weapons...I am excited for the new diversity in gun-play and mechanics. People don't like change; but the gameplay has become stale with the lack of diversity currently in destiny pvp and pve for sure.
PSN. I'm on PS4, so it works for me. I'll be more than happy to do that if it's on Saturday.
I'll join but i'm running off in about 90 mins time
I'm a newbie too. PSN feetiemaomao
edit: come to think of it I shouldn't take up a spot if i'm going off soon. Join you guys next time
The weapons are not what makes the game stale. It's everything else. SSDifferentReset.

I remember when they said we should be rewarded for hitting precision shots.
I think the nerf to Icebreaker is a tragedy. No one uses it right now due to the long reload time and they want to make it 8 seconds?

They at least did right by NLB. I have been saying forever that the Master needed a serious buff.
Nechrochasm gets a good buffed almost exactly how I would have done it too. I still think it needs more impact.

Especially hilarious when reading the comments from the dude on it
What do you think will happen? Yeah people will just sit around longer. Like I don't think an actual human being came up with this change.
The IB nerf is a bit weird. Sure, it's coming back due to the special ammo change, and, yes, it does enable cheese and is probably the 2nd most generally useful PvE weapon behind the horn, but it didn't feel particularly nerf worthy at the moment. 3 seconds isn't too much of a nerf, though.
Right, because Black Hammer's primary application is getting ammo off series of skill shots against agile opponents. It's definitely not generating infinite ammo from safety while you stagger lock slow, easy to hit bosses...

It's mostly because right now, rockets are doing some crazy shit for little aiming skill. It's getting to the point where it's more efficient to aim past people instead of aiming on the ground close to them and the perk rewards you for something that should be a miss 9/10 times.
The overabundance of G&H rockets has also completely made machine guns irrelevant in PvP to the point where if you want to use them you have to hide for a few minutes until the rockets are all wasted.
Awesome, you can FR me or give me your PSN name. I'll invite you to the group I've got in orbit.

It's more like 18 seconds though. Which in game time is kind of a lot.

I understand this viewpoint but for me this means one thing... and thats the series will never have true-balance if they go this way which by itsself is hard to have in a game like this...but..Why bother even letting us take our character from new game to new game along with our items I'm sure,(we better) for us to just stop using them altogether. I understand with each new dlc they ""want"" us to use the new stuff they have made, so do we.. but there is no balance in the game at all if we just stopping using the old stuff because we gave them more money for the new. For me as a player that tells me to just wait til 2020 or whatever and get Destiny 3 once the last dlc for it comes out and play it then, because everything I played for before will be obsolete, that is not balance at all. All this means is they will forever nerf everything all throughout the series life span.. because they always will put out weapons they think are balanced but they themselves have said cant never play-test good enough... sometimes you should let something be special.. and not just something more pretty. I love PvP in this game and turly would be done with it if it wasn't awesome... but they REEEAAAAAAAAALLLLLY need to completely rethink PvE. You know doing the same NF week after week this coming for someone that only has one character because making a new one is sooooo fucking boring, the story(lol) its just terrible to go through again... but maybe if it wasn't the same thang over and over and over and over.... I wouldn't need to use my BEST of the BEST to get through it as fast as I can. They need to make encounters in PvE more organic, less bullet spongey, more FUN.
Yeah like I said they REALLY failed hard with exotics... the horn and IB nerfs are nerfs just to be nerfs.....
smh
As a pvp nerf, that's fine. As a pve nerf, it's weird. It doesn't stop cheese; just drags it out. I'd have rather seen it double incoming ammo and just have a larger than usual clip and magazine size as its exclusive perk if they really wanted to stop it.
