[spoiler][quote]The #destinytruthcast is a Bnet #feedback forum community podcast hosted by members of the community and featuring community members as guests.
The podcast was started to give everyday guardians a chance to do something they would probably never experience by being on a podcast and to give them the opportunity to have not just their thoughts, but their voices heard by Bungie as they discuss the game.
Beyond that, it's allowed us to get to know the voices and personalities behind the gamertags we see on the forums and get to know each other in a way not possible in anonymous words on a page.
We aren't here to endorse or tear down Bungie or Destiny, but to give honest, balanced talk on this game. Thank-you and maybe we'll see you on an episode. [/quote][/spoiler]

2 RepliesEdited by jcald--: 2/14/2017 3:45:45 AMJust a few thoughts. I think this patch will bring the most balance to primaries we have ever seen. They didn't anounced any game changing buffs or nerfs. Sols you know I'm a fan of this special change. I know I didn't work the first time around but everyone was exploiting and switching to another special after death or between rounds. Ice Breaker doesn't refer ammo fast enough to make a big difference and invective uses a lot of ammo to be effective. NLB takes a lot of skill but the players that are skilled with it will shine. Universal Remote shouldn't be such an issue because of nerfs. Hand Cannons, I can see hand cannons being really good but people will need to use them in there intended range. That first shot accuracy may be crippling especially if someone hits you with luck in the chamber. Hand Cannons will be potent but still require a lot of skill and patience, i think this is how they are intended to work. Autos, is shadow price back? I think it will be. I can't recall which guest said it but people gravitate toward the easiest best guns to use. That is why we saw so many clever dragons. Side arms start with ammo but it's not much after respawn they shouldn't be an issue. I think fusion users will feel the special hit the most, we have no ammo regerating fusion rifles, vex has been left behind. But we are used to it by now, I'll still be rocking my plan c and 77 wizard. Overall I am real happy with this patch on paper but we will have to see how it pays out in a month. The first week after a balance update is always a blast. Last thing, I've seen a lot of post asking for Bungie to let streamers influence patches, this can never happen. Streamers have there own agendas and have had to much influence already. Actually one more, cutting on the devs for how they were playing was absolutely rediculous, nobody seems to recall that games are designed on mouse and keyboard and those devs would probably destroy most console players if you gave them their tools. It was a good listen. Look forward to the next one.
