Ahem, let me dust off my soap box for a minute. Let me start off by saying I main a Hunter, and obviously the changes in the June patch affected us the hardest. The nerf to tripmines and bladedancers was something that really impacted our community. For the past couple of months, I've heard nothing but hate, salt, and ire from my fellow hunters about this change; going as far as to ask for people to step down from their position at Bungie. But have you actually looked at what this update really gave us? Now that the dust has settled, have you noticed you're still playing Destiny? I honestly really enjoyed the update. I do believe Bungie messes up here and there, and their communication with the player base is pretty minimal, if not patronizing at times (cough, releases one graph, cough). But the changes brought something new to the game, and brought something that every video game should have now and then: challenges that test our adaptability. So what if Gunslingers got a nerf? We got a huge increase in super damage (Golden Gun) in PVE, and they gave us a farmable strike with solar burn THAT SAME week! Also, I wish I had the source but someone posted some statistics showing an [b]increase[/b] in tripmine usage since the June patch. That means no matter how many people were complaining, people (maybe even those of you who complained) went into the crucible with Young Ahamkara Spines and went crazy with tripmines. And thats good! You made them work, just in a different way than before. Bladedancers are now moving over to increased control, and changing the way they play entirely. The change to invisibility has completely altered the dynamic and way we Arc Blade, since we need to be smarter with our swings. This update also made many people test out grenades on their characters that they have never even touched before. I've seen plenty of spike grenades being flown around, and while they're not really a threat, who cares? You're not trying anything new so stop complaining. And not just hunters. All subclasses saw super damage increased for their characters, and we have modifiers on Heroric Strikes. I mean, how cool is that? Now you don't just have to run Sunsinger/Nightstalker/Defender because they're the go to for PVE, although they're still really awesome. But I found myself using Stormcaller on my Warlock in PVE and it is really fun. Sunbreakers can throw their hammers with ease and just make an orb storm for their allies. One other note, for my brethren who want Shoulder Charge to be nerfed, stop. We die to shoulder charge just as much as Titans die from the thousand other shenanigans Hunter's display in the Crucible, so stop. It's really awesome that so many Titans are going to a subclass that is usually untouched in both PVP and PVE. Finally, Hand Cannons got a range buff? Maybe its not what we need to send them over the edge, but now I can use my favorite weapons in any game type without worrying if I am contributing to my team or not. I just recently took a Hand Cannon into King's Fall Hard Mode and had such a blast, and wasn't worried at all that I wasn't contributing to the team. I actually had fun for the first time in a game mode I've done countless times. That is precious, and something I can truly thank Bungie for. If Bungie is really making you get out of your comfort zone, good, that is what they're suppose to do. It is all about being flexible. If you can't be flexible and you don't like change, then pick up a new game. Stop being so toxic on this forum and just try something new for once. Trust me, it'll be quite the experience. I have plenty of concerns about this update; as much as the next guy in fact. But I'd rather focus on the good and what I can do to adapt and become a better player than sit behind a keyboard and just bitch and moan. I guess this is an apology from a Hunter, on behalf of people who don't know what they're talking about. I would love to hear what you guys have been doing since the June Update and what changes you have enjoyed, since I think we've all had our fill of hearing what has been wrong with this update. Stay safe, and have fun out there, guardians.
