Even LESS Strange Coins
Yeah. What's the deal? A way to slow progression? Make the grind longer? What's the justification here?
Pretty much, add weapon parts and motes in there too
I imagine it's an indirect 3oC nerf, since that's really all the coins were good for. I would have kept some strange coins around had I known.
overall great notes, some nice surprises in there, however
1. still cant tell if my infused spindle is brought down to 290 because the notes didnt go into enough detail
2. the economy nerf was a little shocking tbh, weapon parts are hard enough to come by...at least they are worth more for exchanging to rep?

I'm okay too, but hate the fact they took a guaranteed source of SC away and now made it even harder to obtain.

Yeah. It has to do with 3oC probably.
I guess they could increase the costs of 3oC to 10 per pack or something. Or hand out 4 instead of 5.

I'd guess the strange coin decrease is to help limit 3oC farming. The rest...a way to make the faction rep grind even longer?

If you stuck them to an enemy it would cost 2 charges.

Why is people getting exotics a bad thing? They are so afraid people will stop playing if they get the loot they want. I don't need a constant carrot to play Bungie. Please.
If this ever happens I'm uninstalling immediately and never coming back. It wont tho.
Year 1 players had the biggest advantage going in. Would suck to just start playing Destiny and barely having any strange coins.
Really strange choice. I mean, I still have a ton of motes, but SC's and weapon parts are still in limited supply for me. This is not a good change.

Fucking hope not. Seems like a way to get your 310 gear to how you like it. I really like Sealed Ahamkara's Grasp but the reload speed types I keep getting are terrible (shotgun, sidearm)

I am very, very confused.
Wasn't this "shotguns cause force barrier to proc'" on No Backup Plans a mistake that Bungie made in a BWI description that they very quickly changed and event tweeted that it was a mistake?
Now they are saying it actually does this, and they fixed it to make it work all the time?
WHAT WHAT WHAT??
Oh. I almost never use them for that, just to go invisible.
This strange coin nerf sucks.

That economy nerf out of nowhere... Just, what?

So the only economy buff was for more motes during public and +25 more rep for turning in weapons parts, but everything else got nerfed? WTF! How are you not going to address NF rewards before slowing down the flow of rep, motes, and coins across the board? Honestly, the biggest fuck you is the weapons parts nerf. That makes zero sense to me. There is nothing more tedious and awful than trying to farm weapons parts. Even Y1 it sucked, but at least you could glimmer farm and then buy green engram weapons from Cryptarch. Now, green weapons cost 1500+ and the amount of parts they drops is turned down. Why? What fucking part of the economy was being broken by weapons parts?

Reduced weapons parts? WTF, that's some bullshit.
How about the ability to lock them instead.

The Economy nerf sucks balls.
Do we know how much silver a single emote will cost?
Ha, that's quick work Bungie I only moaned about it an hour ago!
This doesn't seem necessary. Weapon materials are around 1 million percent* harder to get than armour materials.
* rough estimate

Engram drops have been increased in TTK, which meant much higher rate of mats. And Motes can max your exotics in a matter of seconds. I guess this combination is the reason for a nerf.
Though weapon engrams seem to drop way less than armor.
I dunno.
I mean, pre Y2 there were much more chances at exotics. 2 Raids you could do 3 times each, Prison of Elders, Nightfall... Now its just about popping 3oC and beating an Ultra. And there is only KF Raid and NF.
