Hey everybody, I haven't seen an unbiased poll posted on here so I thought I'd make one. What are your opinions on the Weapons nerf/buff patch inbound? Please give your reasons in the comments below.

  • My thoughts (PVP in mind, other than the obvious Pve weapons): They over Nerfed TLW, but I am ok with that, it was too powerful. (PVP) They under Nerfed Thorn, I'm NOT ok with that, it will still be very viable as a top tier weapon. (PVP) They Nerfed Handcannons generally, Legendary Hand Cannons were in decent position, I'm NOT ok with that nerf. Effectively destroyed a weapon type, the same they did with AR's back in the day. (PVP) Gjallahorn Nerf was needed. The only reason I think people are salty about it, is because the bosses in this game are bullet sponges and the nerf will add more time to boss fights. I'm fine with the nerf, Gjalla was a crutch. (PVE) Black Hammer Nerf I don't think is as bad as people are thinking, its a legendary sniper that has exotic (better than some) abilities. Pulling directly from the reserve ammo isn't that much of a pain to be honest, it still means that you don't need to reload, which was the point of the gun. It just means you need to pick up ammo or use a synth when you have none left. Its really not a big deal. If anything they should have turned BH into an exotic, then again people would complain about it taking up an exotic slot. (PVE) Fusion nerf, who cares.... fusions are for no skill players (PVP) Good job on the Final Round change for Snipers. (PVP) It still works out well for PVE and addresses the issue of 1 shot body shots by crap players. Shotgun nerf.... finally! Although blink will keep them viable, I am very happy with this nerf. Although I don't think the shotpackage change will affect it as much as we are thinking. (PVP) They were also ridiculous in PVE and needed tuning. Auto Rifles, Buff. I couldn't care less. New player friendly mechanics, shoot and spray, I was glad they became unusable after the SUROS/AR nerf. As long as they cant out range a scout like they did in the past.. I'm fine with them getting a slight buff. (PVP) AR Buff in PVE is nice to see for the fun factor, Necrocasm looks like it will be useful in PVE now. (PVE) ICEBREAKER, Ok so this is the only Nerf that makes no sense at all. Bungie wanted us to stop camping with IB. But surely this will make the camping more. If the idea was to make it so long that we wouldn't use Icebreaker, then what use does the gun have to begin with? These are my initial feelings and I would remind everyone that we haven't played these changes live, so we can't know for sure if they are addressed properly or well.
