700+ hours into this game and not getting a Ghjallahorn is seriously making me want to stop playing it. I have every exotic (minus 2 of the new guns you get from the Elder Cipher) but that fucking weapon. I hate this fucking RNG bullshit.

So I'm paying only 19 bucks for the entire Destiny experience, right?

For those of you who do not have a Gally yet... the nerf will make sure you never get to play it in all its glory when you do finally acquire it.
Nerfing the gally because those without it are being excluded from Raids and Nightfalls is pretty dumb when all you need to do is put it up for sale from Xur and let everyone in on the fun. 7/17/2015 10:32:53 AM |

I'm not too upset with the changes. I'm gonna miss black hammering or ghorning bosses down in 30 seconds but it will change the strategies up and actually force me to use other weapons.
ps hit 3500 grimoire yesterday. dont think ill ever max though I only have like 7/100 rumble wins, 50/250 VIP kills, and 150/250 public events. Not worth the grind that's for sure 7/17/2015 12:28:25 PM |
Fry The Stubby 7784 Posts user info edit post |
killing the whole point of white nail for black hammer bothers me the more than the gjally change. special ammo is already a pain to get (i supposed making it more "special"... but :sick
here's hoping auto rifles are usable again; my death stats are dominated by thorn/last word/fellwinter/party crasher right now. variety would be nice

Made the best gun in the game the worst with the flip of a switch.

best gun to the worst gun? dude stop bitching. you can still drop 18-21 straight shots into a boss without stopping to reload. it's still a powerful and handy sniper.
so many complaints about changes which haven't happened yet. there isn't a single boss fight where you NEED a black hammer or NEED a gjallarhorn. my buddy doesn't have either of them still and he is the best PvE player I know personally. this is mostly from reddit but god damn they are up in arms about the changes.7/19/2015 1:44:59 PM |
laxman490 All American 2385 Posts user info edit post |
Bungee made it clear that they nerfed black hammer and gally because they did not want people excluding people who didn't have these, mostly from lfg sites. A better way to combat this would be to create better boss battles. These guns were actually uniqe and fun to use.
With that said I really don't have any problem with these changes. New guns will become the new "meta." Everyone just has to find them out once the patch comes out.

if there's any problem with LFG at all... just look at the ToO listings. "must have 5.0 K/D I'll check your stats and you have to prove you've been flawless with the emblem"
at least requesting gjally was an obtainable (though completely RNG...) requirement... my K/D blows in ToO because i can't get a solid team and i was okay with just trying it anyway... K/D will instantly suck no matter how good you are as an individual. playing with some decent guys this weekend i either held my own or came out clutch in several instances 7/19/2015 6:48:08 PM |

I don't need black hammer I use it how it was supposed to be used. Picking off everyone adds and all.
Now I'll be popping special synths lol
Ohh and I don't have a gally and don't need one I have an ash factory or a redegasts (sp?) fury in both tracking and horseshoes with clown cartridge or tripod on every elemental damage :-) 7/19/2015 7:54:43 PM |

annnnnd 6-1. both losses (1 mercy) had one guy red barring almost the entire game and 1 other that would red bar half the time thanks, bungie
now 7-1 7-2 just got dropped to the main menu and it counted as a freakin loss -- looked like the other team was intentionally lagging. i killed two of them and got a weasel code. can hear my teammates callin out the same guy is now lagging/skipping around

hahah yeah that article is garbage. my destiny experience will not change much from the weapon changes. I do use TLW in crucible but I still snipe (no final rounding). I have other options but when playing against 3 Thorns or 3 TLWs then it doesnt make sense for me to use my favorite weapon in crucible (Vex mytho) cause it can't compete. 7/21/2015 6:19:44 PM |

So i thought that fate bringer only dropped at the templar?
I had 8 Primaries when i played VOG hard yesterday and fate bringer FINALLY dropped. (probably my 20th time)
Then, i go back to the tower and there was ANOTHER fate bringer at the postmaster.... It must have fallen at atheon because all i received there was energy and another sparrow.

I don't see how that article is garbage. I've read several others all stating the same things and the general uproar from the fans regarding the update.
I could give two shits about PVP and they can nerf that all they want as far as I am concerned. Nerfing Ghjally, Ice Breaker, and Black Hammer in PVE is bullshit.
I have no reason to grind out for a Ghjally anymore.

no, the gally nerf is more than fine
https://youtu.be/9TmClLLlIik?t=474
for those that can't see the video, a void Ash Factory rocket takes a Praetorian down by about 1/3 while Gally kills him completely with a couple wolfpack rounds to spare

I wonder what hunger would do.
the truth is gally is great on a single enemy but ash factory takes out a low level mob like nothing you've ever seen.
So half the health of the praetorian is in it's over-shield and the rest is in it's base health.. so really it only does 30% more damage in that vid.
But yeah i don't have one and i hate that i don't. 7/23/2015 12:00:55 PM |
V0LC0M All American 21263 Posts user info edit post |
they aren't nerfing Ghjally because it is too strong. It is exactly how they intended it to be. They are nerfing it because people are preventing others from doing random raids and POE runs if they don't have it.
https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=13147
Quote : | "Gjallarhorn If Destiny had a nuke it would be the “Ballerhorn.” We definitely intended to have a high damage Heavy Weapon that was ideal for PvE destruction. What we did not intend, and what we unfortunately saw, was pick up Raid and Nightfall groups gating participation based on whether or not players had this weapon.
Gjallarhorn was so strong that for many people it had become the only answer to getting through tough encounters, and therefore they were less willing to spend time with other players that didn’t have it.
Equipped Heavy Weapon Popularity (PVE)
We strive for Destiny to be a place where a single weapon or strategy does not dictate how, or with whom, you spend your time.
In the new world Gjallarhorn is still worthy of its legacy as an exotic Heavy Weapon, but we hope it promotes inclusive behavior rather than exclusivity. Changes Reduce damage of Wolfpack Rounds" |

FUCKING

This is a common problem with MMO-type games. Players start setting a gear-based benchmark for entry into high level group content. I can understand Bungie wanting to dissuade that. 7/28/2015 2:58:05 PM |

there was a non-english screenshot of xur from the week we didn't have a weapon option that showed the gjally icon where the weapon option normally would be. obviously could have been edited in to screw with people, but the suggestion was that bungie had intentionally blocked it out when xur rolled it.
bungie's full of crap either way. they love that people waste hours grinding for something that should and easily could be a difficult exotic bounty. it's their goal at the end of the day (maybe not the devs, but you know it's what the suits want). 7/29/2015 1:38:01 PM |
