Same. I liked the MK Stand Asides but all the OP shotties totally kill my charges. It was so fun using them before they introduced those new shotties.

No Bungie is punishing PVE players due PVP unbalances.
Ghorn in PVP is a normal gun so why nerf it in PVE?
Same for others guns.
The balance in PVE is players being stronger than enemies.
I gave up. People are being either intentionally obtuse or downright dumb. Spend the morning correcting the weirdest posts but I can't convince a mad crowd of their folly.
I'm excited about Hard Light and Nechrochasm.I'm pretty excited about the Hard Light though, it looks and sounds fucking awesome. With buffs it will be great and I certainly plan on using it quite a bit

Yeah nechro should be very fun to use as well
Perhaps even the.... monte carlo?All these weapons, completely leveled sitting in my vault waiting... waiting patiently for their time to shine.

Why bother. People just want to vent so let them. Not the first time people ranted about changes they didn't like.

Hypehorn... ;__;

That's their end goal. Keep the game interesting by making us try new weapons. If people don't like change, go play another game.
Just got a nechrochasm and monte carlo this week, so at least this part of the weapon balance excites me.Yeah nechro should be very fun to use as well

I've had a Hard Light for months now, but I never even shot one bullet with it. It's now at the top of my "to level up" list...
they somewhat proved last patch they have the ability to tune the two individually now.
Ghorn needs to be nerfed to a degree it shouldn't be the instant win it currently is.
Reserve judgment until we see the balance, bungie TU's have always always been great Halo 2/3 were broken AF until they released them.

Meh, not a big deal in my opinion. Not having to reload is the bigger advantage there.

Does anyone think the upcoming weapons patch will make ARs viable in PvP, or will it still be a HC show. I think it will still be a HC show.
It will be a pulse rifles show.
And maybe scouts?
A lot of people have fun in PvP despite the obvious misgivings.
I took a look at your profile and would suggest you try something different. Most of your kills are with Auto Rifles, which are objectively the worst class in the game, by far, in absolutely every scenario (PvE and PvP alike). Your second most used primary are Scouts, which are also rather lacking right now.
Try out Hand Cannons. You seem to have 0 kills with them in PvP. A good Hand Cannon should bring you closer to 1.0 K/D and generally performing better. Using Auto Rifles is just handicapping yourself and making the game feel frustrating.

Anyone got a Gorgon CP on X1? Need to farm some glimmer.
Nah, more will move on to Pulse Rifles.

Serious question:
Were there any other Hand Cannons that were as much of a problem Thorn/TLW?
For that matter, were there any auto-rifles that were as much of a problem as SUROS?
That's what's frustrating. Seeing entire weapons classes affected by nerfs because of their exotic outliers. And then it's frustrating seeing PvP problems affecting PvE when they're so different. Engagement differences, AI melee being absolutely lethal (even w/o lightswitch).
Seems improved for mid-range with a major dropoff beyond that. As long as they don't act like backscratchers anymore, I might go back to them.
Nah, the slightly higher pitch made it worse for me.

I could totally be down with my new Monte Carlo come TTK.

100% with you. I get that infinite ammo was nice. But not having to reload is probably the most important part of that perk.

Ohh I haven't even looked at the BWU yet. Blink needs a nerf, tbh. It's part of the reason why 95% of the competitive community uses Bladedancer. Now if they fix Backstab and nerf quick draw the subclasses will be better balanced.

He could have brought voidfang, veil, nothing Manacles, Praxic, RAM, starfire protocol or claws of Ahamkara and I would have been happy.

Puma! How are the twins? Did they send ya'll home yet?
Suros was an outlier in terms of popularity but not that much in terms of performance. It hit hard and was super stable at range but it's not like it killed you in half the time as the next-best AR. Thorn, on the other hand...
Anyways Legendary Hand Cannons didn't need a nerf, they were fine. But since Pukse Rifles are also getting toned down, it was a necessary compromise. I expect they'll still play similar to now, it won't be like the butchering of ARs.
It's a sign, embrace it.
I was messing around with these last night in pvp, and I was wrecking people with the double scatter grenades. So much fun.
Well as soon as the game gives me a primary that isn't a scout rifle or an auto rifle I'll get right on that.

Bungie forgets that people play games for fun.
PvE is such a repetitive mundane chore. Shotgun buff made it more fun.
nerfin shotties in PvE is so stupid. Fuck PoE mobs
Lol nerf backstab, QuickDraw and Blink and you might as well erase Bladedancer subclass from the game and it wouldn't be missed.

if you read into the actual update they actually admit they fucked up by only changing a set of weapons vs the entire sandbox,
this is what the TU/Update intends to fix, they're trying to fix the current you must use X to well if I want to use X I should use this play style
which is a much better and much more organic and evolved way of fixing the current issue with the current meta being so restrictive.
Blink and you'll miss it.....

I've read somewhere that Bungie said PvP is like "seasons", and it looks like the season of handcannons and shotguns is about to come to an end, and might be replaced with scout rifles.
I'm ok with this
Sure I have my gripes with certain pve changes, and I'm a little worried about pvp as well, but we will find the new OP weapon and it will get used and abused until it is also nerfed somewhere down the line.
At this point, the Vex is a battered weapon that just goes with the flow.
Bungie knows no subtlety when nerfing. All they had to do was fix the glitch, otherwise the TLW was a well-rounded weapon.
And they are also a lot more fun than ARs. Nonetheless, the MIDA is the next best thing to HC.

Zoned out of destiny this week.
I think I played tuesday and that's it. I don't even know what trials map we got this week.
Got hooked in fucking Danganronpa... :/
Nah. I think shotguns will be fine. You're just gonna have to get closer to use those.
But I fear for what this patch means to hand cannons.
