Patch notes:
Players: Crucible is too campy.
Bungie: We're making it more campy.

I missed the first part of the stream. Anyone have a quick recap? Also, is there a reason for me to switch from my Aegis or Nirwens?

No mention of grenades either

Are only the high damage auto-rifles getting buffed? not the mid- impact ones?

TO add to that-
Shotguns don't get precision damage anymore(Except for a couple that rely on it with perks), they get 20% more damage in PvE to compensate, less accurate in midair, Range Finder nerfed

All of that seems OK, I guess. It'll give me a reason to jump back on for a bit, if only to see how the Crucible plays.
Wait, maybe I missed it, but does Bungie ever do anything to scout rifles? It seems like they stay the same throughout all the weapon tweaks.
I'll have to play some crucible to really get a feel of the changes. I'm interested to see how it will play out. Don't think this is going to tear me away from Titanfall 2 or Yakuza 0, but I am intrigued.

It's even worse than I expected. Why does Bungie have such a hard on for meta's? They keep mentioning that word like it's something that makes the game better. Why can't everything be competitive?
And LOL @ no changes to Skorri's artifact.
This may end up being the most campy """meta""" yet.

What's the point of nerfing shotguns if you are going extreme with nerfing specials anyway?
Changes benefit me. This is huge as a whole because most of the people you see in 6v6 are shotgunners. This is going to promote camping even more. Bungie doesn't think about things as usual.

Lmao. I'll give it a month until the special changes are reverted like there last failed experiment. Trials will be all HC - Ice Breaker/Invective as no one is going to risk losing one round then have to wait 60 seconds for ammo
NLB will be abused as well. I was so hopefully after all the no nerfs shit but as we saw they're playing a different game

so, we will be carrying Invective or Icebreaker,

Not trying to defend Bungie's hackneyed attempts at "balancing" but with the variety of weapon subtypes they're trying to offer I don't see a scenario where the game will ever be remotely balanced.
trials is fully going to be icebreaker, NLB and sidearms and there really isn't going to be a way of countering that with non exotic snipers and other specials since they did what they did to special ammo. god.

Will this be the new wave for pulse rifles?

All ARs get a precision damage increase; base damage on the slow ones goes up.
How hard would it be to make Skorris not work in PvP when Silimar's doesn't work in PvE?
They didn't announce any changes to that archetype; why would you pick it over Hawksaw and friends?
they did. faster rate of fire

I can only hope. Didn't they learn anything from last time?
To be honest, I'm just a little salty that running sniper ammo on my hunter's boots and chest to spawn with 12 rounds (with specific weapons) is now pointless because I'l lose it all when I get taken out.
Suppose I'll have to start running nightfalls again to get an Icebreaker.
Faster ROF for the next damage tier up. Parthian, Lyudmila...

I'm an idiot on archetypes. Is there a compilation of guns that just became great to have?
I see Nirwens mentioned above.

Yeah I would like this too, although I am a veteran, I dont know LROF vs MROF, vs HROF shit.
What just became hot? LROF autos and Pulse? Like what?
Hawksaw will be the Pulse meta again. Nirwens is just a slower Hawksaw.
unless we really care about doing literally everything we can skip most of the TTK quests correct?
I'll always treasure the times I had with my Grasp. Not sure I'll be bothering with much more PvP in this game anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter too much. I was hoping they'd just go full on crazy for the remaining time that Destiny was running, but that was always a pipe dream.

Word, I'll continue to stay away from this shit

When Destiny 2 hits, PvP will be melee/grenades. All them nerfs for all tastes, no one gets left behind. And when I started(TTK) PvP was a blast, so much variety.
Same. Still...

I'd skip it all bar Story missions, subclass quests and the one to unlock Nightfalls
One more week and hopefully I can do this with Hawkmoon
