I really miss there being amazing OP PvE weapons like Gjallarhorn & Ice Breaker to chase. Now the most exciting thing is seeing if the Gunsmith brings a weapon that happens to not have all garbage perks on it every Wednesday.
Literally that's the most exciting thing when it comes to weapons right now.

I remember being excited about chasing the class item exotics until I found out it would take hundreds of hours to level a faction rep to 25...
Are you implying DeeJ should be executed?

^ I think its pretty clear thats exactly what he meant.
Warlocks are just so amazing. Warlock haters just need to git gud tbh.

..and the rep buff they provide is trivial, and you can't align with another faction if you want to wear them.

I wouldn't say fired but maybe moved into a different role with the company

Yes, like Janitor. Then he can dictate updates on how he dumped the garbage that day.

Sniper AA and lack of flinch not getting adjusted is a bit sad. My Glass Prom just got nerfed hard, which is dumb. My Shortgaze/Snapshot Fast ROF is now dead, since every part of that got nerfed. Fusions getting a stability bonus is nice. Shotguns are a in a good place (in PvP). Heavy changes are good (in PvP). I hope HMG machine gun ammo go nerfed to hell in Crucible.
Revive changes are good with the exception of the timers. This is really going to push Trials to the extremes. It'll either be fullspeed rushdowns or overtime as everyone plays super-campy to get that first kill. Well, that and no more sprint revives sucks and is going to make revive sniping even more painful.
Special weapons needed nerf if Primary weapons weren't going back to Year 1 strengths. That said, nerfs are never fun.
Can't believe Stormlock melees aren't changed.
Can't believe Firebolt + Viking Funeral aren't being touched because it was too much work.
Can't believe that no weapons changes were really focused on PvE.
Can't believe when I find a gun (Doctrine) that makes me happy like Hopscotch it was nerfed. Again.
Oh wait. I can totally believe all those things.
On the whole though, it seems like there's enough good there to make me want to try it?
I cant believe I'm going to say this: Am I less salty than Ape?
DeeJ retweeted someone complaining about it. It'll be fixed.
Also, no mention of why the Hic Jacet Flawless emblem is going away?

While some of these changes are steps in the right direction, it's becoming more apparent as time goes on that Bungie doesn't know the first thing about balancing this creation of theirs. This isn't Halo. It's not about simple things like AR vs BR, there's literally hundreds of weapons.
Bungie had made two kinds of changes with weapon balancing.
1) Half measures that don't get anywhere near fixing the problems that exist.
2) Nerf things too far and render them useless and remove any element of fun that was involved in using it.
It's like they recognize most of the problems but because of the way they programmed the game initially, they can't fix the problems without breaking everything. It makes me sad because I love this game so much but they continually fall drastically short of making impactful positive changes.

So, are they going to change the Crucible and Iron Banner bounties that rely on Heavy kills? I would hope so, but I've learned not to assume that they've thought these thing through.
Messenger hype more like.
Maybe the Paragon devs told him how to fix it

New (reskinned) Trials armour is coming so I guess its to do with that

Depends on whether or not Amazon fucks me over.
I had to google what Paragon was. Then I remembered what Paragon was.

What was the change to Trials bounties, was it you could pick them up everyday?

Just one of them.
In response to Hunter and Titan changes

Looking forward to "Mentioned on stream, but not actually true" on the update. At least fusion rifles might be decent along with hawkmoon. Overall, I am neutral until the nastiness begins to appear.

Helpful as ever Ruthless. Which one?

I think their whole main problem with balancing is that they wont, or maybe they dont know how, seperate pvp and pve changes. The whole "we want your gaurdian to feel the same in every mode", is whats hurting them the most. I think along with dedicated servers, seperating pve and pvp balance should be their biggest thing they shou;d work on for Destiny 2.

You have to give it to him though, that's one hell of a backpedal!

As someone who's played y2 trials for a total of 2 weeks, you're asking the wrong person.
Probably the silver/gold package one, where you have to play 10 matches and/or get 75 team kills.
Voidwalker shall reign supreme.
I do wish they would sort out the hit detection for the Titan shoulder charge and the damage it does. I had a damn flimsy hunter survive a shoulder charge a few times. Frustrating.

Nothing is more frustrating and confusing than hearing that sweet shoulder on guardian sound effect, only to realize nothing actually happened, and then you fall over dead from a melee...
