If you can run through an entire strike shot gunning everything (ultras and bosses included) then your gun is broken. This is exactly the same reason they nerfed gjally, and the sniper twins.
The gun wasn't broken, I know you are pretending that they were but it doesn't make it fact. They were also lower level in strikes which should go down really quick.

Defending this nerf makes me smh

So with shotguns getting nerfed, is Lord of Wolves still worth getting? I have the Cipher completing with the patch, but now it looks like the sniper might be the one to get? I mean, they'll all drop in PoE now anyway, but still.

I still cannot believe they are removing content for the previous two "expansions". What the fuck did I buy those for then?

How are more people not complaining about this.
 
OH WOW

RANDOMLY CHOSEN MEGAPERKS FOR YEAR 2 YEAR 1 EXOTICS

Evidence this is true directly from B.net.

But at least you can reforge.

I guess they wanted to add a) another materials/currency sink and b) this goes along with their goal of adding optimization.

For example, Helm of St. 14 has blind bubble sure, but it also has increased super energy from killing minions of the darkness. Which is worthless in PvP. Now I could get a duplicate and roll perks specific to each one.

I think I like this?

They're not removing them. More like revamping to fit with current in-game events.

I think most people would prefer an "overpowered broken" gun over a "useless broken" gun.

And why should Bungie really give a shit if people can steam roll strikes with great gear? They aren't endgame activities with incredible rewards or anything.

God forbid that somebody playing a single player mission at max level be able to down an enemy quickly with an exotic.

They weren't broken that's the thing, They are broken now because they will probably be useless like they were originally.

I just don't see how anyone can say that is a good thing and mean it.

I'll let it go since there's no point in arguing this any further, but just to be clear:

You're suggesting a shotgun - for which ammo is readily available throughout an entire mission or Strike - should be able to down a level 30 Major like it was a Dreg on Patrol?

Thunderlord can't do this (or any Machine Gun). Fusion Rifles can't either. Neither can Snipers (majors can tank a few headshots). Outside Ghorn, no RL can either.

Like maybe I'm insane or missing a detail or something but are you all suggesting Shotguns should have stayed this insanely superior to literally everything else in the game?

*Reads over patch notes*

*See's no changes to Bladedancers Quickdraw perk*

I don't care about anything else, I'm happy, and lol @ that nonexistent Blink nerf.

Best perk out of all subclasses <3 quick draw

So did the marks convert yet?

I don't think so, probably when TTK actually hits next week. Same for unified class materials transparently.


Oh my.... that is a sexy looking ship. Need it!

It straight up says "wolf packs no longer appear in events as they retreat because oryx is coming"

Then completely removed bounties from the first expansion.

What are people who bought the first two dlcs but aren't getting taken king supposed to do? Be ok that bungie is taking away something they paid for?

I like how some people can immediately tell how good/bad a weapon type is going to be by reading the patch notes.

I wish I had that level of insight.

Read further... there will be new Petra bounties.

Spoiler for a perk on one of the Titan exotic helms:

Primary Perks


Air Traffic Control

All Rocket Launchers gain tracking, radar remains visible while zooming with Heavy Weapons, and Heavy Ammo drops increase when using a Rocket Launcher.

This should be fun.
 
I thought 100% shotgun buff was a little too much, and maybe reduce it so it's 50%.

So Original Value * 2 (100% increase) * 0.55 (45% reduction) so it's only 10% bigger from original value? That's extreme!!!

After a full year of shit download speeds, downloading errors, and other miscellaneous tomfoolery when it came to internet troubles... finally figured it out.

Router had a setting turned on that enabled keyword filtering. For some reason this interfered with large downloads (and occasional high bandwidth streaming services).

Disabled that one setting, and now the Xbox One is fully saturating the bandwidth available on my connection.

FAKE EDIT

After typing that out my blazing fast download just shit the bed. Nothing else was affected, just the Destiny download frozen at 4%. Thanks Obama.

Other than Eris' original bounties, I'm not aware of anything removed from the prior DLC's. What are you talking about?

Strikes have loot tables with specific rewards

Good lord.
 
Just spotted something in the database.
Legendary Weapon Spoilers
Looks like the orange-colored crucible drops are returning in TtK. Just spotted level 40 versions of The Revelator, Spare Change .25, and NL Shadow 701X. Also spotted a reskinned Variks AR that can drop from strikes.
