I guess, but you get far enough in the game and it doesn't make that huge of a difference. Plus it still costs an exotic shard so it's not necessarily cheap.
Ha, haven't touched it since Taken King came out. Relieved that I got my Spindle. I'm just surprised to see Bungie react this fast. Have they ever fixed anything this quick? Maybe it's just a super easy thing for them to patch.
You have to be kidding. Like I don't know if you're serious or not.
Do you think people would have been the tiniest bit less excited about Black Hammer Y2 if it dropped at 290? 310 was a cherry on top.
Sucks that they're doing this but tbh it doesn't make the weapon less attractive at all.
If tomorrow a Y2 Ice Breaker or whatever is found and it drops at 290 or 280 or whatever, I think being less interested in it just because of an attack value we'll fix in a week seems super strange.
Lmao you and this damn LED glowing ship.
Yeah let's give players a 310 weapon like ToM that takes less than 15 minutes to get. The moment i heard that you get a 310 exotic i was like okay maybe if you're over 300 light sure, but then they said you can buy it at 300 and i was like yeah that's broken. I cleared it with over 2 minutes left on the timer last night twice, on my first 3 runs. my 2nd run we failed cause i made a dumb dumb before we even got to the ketch.
the mission isn't that hard, and is an easy way to get an exotic that is a y2 black hammer, just be happy that there's a y2 blackhammer that no one knew about before yesterday.

I put a 310 Spindle into a blueprinted 300 for a 307 YOLO.

How many attempts you have at spindle per day? I keep reading twice.
The attack value was a bonus. People were tripping over each other for a chance at an exotic. The revived Black Hammer at that.
Once they got slapped around for the first time in a PvE event that wasn't a raid or nightfall, it turned into a personal challenge for many.
That was the emphasis. 310, again, was just icing on the cake. People weren't getting blasted over and over to get a 308 Stillpiercer lol
edit: again, if the BS is the only thing changed in all of this - sure, bungie is clownshoes. but that makes zero sense.
I can tell you that I wouldn't have spent nearly as long on it as I did.
For us with no fire team and scrounged up strategies its hard...but all hail great overlord bogeypop, the carrier.
Me too, but have a feeling our gamble will not pay off lol.

I thought we had to wait until it was the daily heroic again.
rest in rip.
Oof. Can I sign up today for a carry the next time it's the daily? =)
We have dozens and dozens of E shards. Having a quick clean way of bringing anything to 300 is a fantastic time saver which they've seen fit to cut full stop.
Watch them address this bug but just ignore the actual bug in the weapon where it lists multiple scopes but won't let you actually change them. That isn't so important for them obviously. Sigh.
This = full speed fix. But they can't sort out their Moments of Triumph bug. This kind of thing is grating.

Also read that it works on heroic from mission select.

Bungie did say that infused items wouldn't be affected.
Infusing one with another is technically in that category. So there's a chance that will all work out ok.
Go back and read the previous OT during Spindle hype and then the nerf confirmation. Why do you like being devil's advocate all the time? Leave me alone.
To be fair, yeah. I already had 290+ exotic and legendary specials. I don't think I would have gotten on if it weren't for the 310.

Lol. Was thinking about it too but fused it into a 303 raid for 309 raid sniper. Might infuse that back into a spindle for a possible 308 one. Fu Bungie.
Sword is 30.
Then you could've went on a raid and had way more chances at a getting that...
People went exotic chasing.
i thought one of the devs said it had to be from a daily heroic?
edit: https://twitter.com/RobEngeln/status/646763078416207872
Ok so apparently that's a thing
My apologies, I can see how I might have been mistaken. But it seems extremely odd to me tbh. Like when I got Gjallarhorn I never gave the initial attack stat of the weapon a second thought since I knew it would be up and running at full level soon.

Just saying what i read, not saying it is true.

You down for some Court of Oryx later? I've got an antiquated rune if you still need to complete the quest
You wanted the attack value or the exotic?
Confirmed by bungie Dev. Only on daily.

Wish Bungie would confirm this before I do it.

You are right, had it been 290 to start with no one would be annoyed. But it being 310 made it feel even more special. It added some extra "oomph" to it's discovery and subsequent rush to get it.
Then a nerf gets announced, which regardless of how big a deal it is, turns a negative twist on the whole thing. And adding in the caveat about letting people infuse weapons with the 310 and 300 spindles just introduced another annoying element for people who want to maximize their gear.
Yeah that's kind of my point. What's the big rush? Like I said maybe it's an easy fix for them.
On the bolded, that drives me crazy. Spent the time to track down chests to complete my Triumphs and it's bugged. Very annoying.
The fact that it's obviously quite hard to beat, plus that fact that it isn't even earnable save for probably 48 hours out of the month, 310 seems like the appropriate light value. it's meant to be an event type thing, so I think it should be different. By bringing it down to 290, they ought to just add it to the regular heroic version.
This is just crazy to me. The weapon is great because of what it does, not because it is 310.
Man people are going crazy over this Spindle stuff. Didn't even know the weapon existed before yesterday and now complaining that the attack value is being nerfed. It makes more sense as a 290 drop. I expect this hotfix to have 3oC changes too. Really hoping they just added a cooldown 
Yes, that's what I was going by, but it is still sketchy. We shall see!

Yeah it's only the daily that gives it, confirmed yesterday: https://twitter.com/RobEngeln/status/646763078416207872
It breaks a lot of raid barriers for a lot of groups which then enables them to loot up to higher light levels and then the raid becomes easier the next time they try it. It's a snowball effect, giving people this weapon for 2 weeks before nerfing it would be too late for a nerf since everyone would have used it already to plow through content not meant to be defeated by such a strong weapon. A lot of people went from low impact 290+ light level snipers to a 310+ highest impact sniper. It was a huge deal for the PvE content.
Watch nami's video, they absolutely wrecked
Golgoroth
Of course I want both. But the 310 guaranteed drop is incredibly enticing to someone at my light level (293). Raid doesn't guarantee anything for beating it.
I don't know why people are acting like that because we think the weapon should stay at 310, that somehow that's the only reason we think it's a good weapon.
Same here. I primarily wanted it because it would bump me up a few light levels.
