Gjallarhorn nerf accomplishes NOTHING
Today is a sad day for Destiny veterans. The most gratifying reward in the game has potentially been stripped of its crown. Gjallarhorn does more good than harm for this game. It's the one reward everyone looks forward to the most. Even if you have one, it still feels like a special a moment when it drops. When everything else became expendable, and duplicates were no longer feasible, the 4th gjallarhorn was still hard to delete. It's kept a lot of players playing. Either in search of one or the joy of owning with one. If Bungie takes that away, they better have something to replace it with. Even then, people will always reminisce of the days gjallarhorn ruled the Destiny universe.
If Bungie wants people to play together, they should incorporate more matchmaking. If anything, gjallarhorn will become more of a requirement after the nerf. This past week I ran 34 POE. I barely even wanted to do it as I have no need for a weapon core or etheric light, but I did it anyway because I knew it was something I could do quickly with the right team. One of the kids was using tomorrow's answer for the Kaliks Prime fight and it turned out alright because the rest of us were able to make up for his lack of firepower. Fast forward to weapon tuning 2.0 and now I may not be as willing to pick up the slack. I will find the most efficient way to accomplish some of the reward bearing "chores" in the game. If my team isn't capable of that, I'll find another. As the amount of activities increase, the less time I have in the week to run everything on 3 characters. Gjallarhorn is a way of easing the pain for veterans who enjoy playing with other veterans. Players being turned away isn't going to change. What should change is the ability for these players to pair up with each other and spend 5 hours trying to kill Skolas, down Crota, or smash Atheon. That solves the problem in my eyes, not ruining the best gun in the game.
I know what its like as a day one player. To wait all that time while it seemingly drops in bunches for everyone else. Every Friday hoping that was the week Xur would sell it again, while simultaneously hoping he wouldn't for the sake of preservation. I feel for you, and it sucks it may not be as special now when it finally does drop. The day it dropped was the day I realized Bungie's philosophy of keeping it holy was right thing to do all along. Imagine spending your whole life saving for a Ferrari, only to find out it was restricted to 55MPH the day it showed up in your driveway. I truly hope it isn't as bad as that. I've enjoyed the this game and the thrill of chase for some time now. Gjallarhorn should stay the same. If you agree, speak up, and let Bungie hear your voice. Save the Gjallarhorn.

Edited by CrudeDude: 7/18/2015 7:33:36 PMThey nerf g Horn, they ruin what made this game playable. They understand and made it the hard to get, most desired, weapon it currently is. However, if they give into the whiny little brats, nerf it to being unusable, they will ruin this game. Trust me, no one will even want to keep coming back to do the nightfalls everyweek, or run the raids for the. Chance to get it. Forget it. They really should rethink this before they act. They also need to stop doing everything these little brats say.

2 RepliesThe problem is that Gjallarhorn is twice as powerful as the next best option. It hamstrings the developers, it makes making other exotic heavy weapons pointless. Gjallarhorn tends to crowd out other exotics, so people feel compelled to use it.

I don't have a gjally but I'm am completely against the nerf because the logic is terrible. Here's my point if the people who complain about a weapon being to powerful are bad at this game or if they are not good with let's say the thorn or the last word and then bungie nerfs these particular guns and then said complainers play the game and are still not good what was solved? absolutely nothing except to piss off the people who have grinded to get these weapons. So all it does is punish the good players and then does nothing to elevate the bad players so everyone loses. Currently there is an even playing field and after the nerf it will still be a level playing field so nothing has been gained but god forbid we introduce logic into this. Signed someone who doesn't have a gjally but if I ever get 1 would prefer that it isn't ruined.

2 Replies"Destiny Veterans"? I'm a beta player and i have never received the Gjallarhorn. I am happy with the nerf because maybe now i can get in groups to kill Skolas. The fact that people actually use Gjallarhorn as a requirement to join their fireteam tells a lot about how strong of a weapon it is.

1 ReplyI'm not distraught about Gjallahorn being nerfed like most I just don't get their reasoning behind it. Is it really because people make it a requirement on LFG sites? We'll just come up with some other requirement now to keep bad kids away. I see people who look for high grimoire or flawless raider achievement as a requirement should we remove those too? My point is there will always be something that we use to separate the good from the bad.

2 RepliesI gotta disagree, dirtbags refuse to let people play endgame content with them if they don't have a Ghorn. If its that much of a crutch than it should be brought down or xur should sell it

2 RepliesIt accomplished a bunch of whining and complaining on the forums. :/

With the nerf, the "Ferrari" is just a Fiero under the hood.

2 RepliesI morphed my celestial nighthawk and my aclyophage symbiote into the celestialphage symbiotichawk. I now have two nighthawk shots

1 ReplyUm you don't even know how much the wolf pack rounds are getting Nerfed

3 RepliesBlah blah blah. No more 10 minute nightfalls which is good in my book

2 RepliesIf Raids & Nightfalls had matchmaking, the issue of people not wanting to play with someone without a Ghorn wouldn't be an issue. I find it funny that Bungie says 1 gun causes people not to choose players for their team, when we have NO TEAM BUILDING OPTIONS IN THE F#CKING GAME!!!! They're worried about what people do on outside websites, because their own game doesn't have a simple option for matchmaking.

2 RepliesIf you consider running through the raids, strikes etc as "chores" to get your gear then this probably isn't the right game for you, it is meant to be enjoyed while played and the loot is just an added bonus.

If anything they should buff the gjallahorn. Or just leave it alone and stop being -blam!- about everything? ??

11 RepliesI'm glad it's nerfed.should have took away the wolf pack rounds and added a useless perk instead like maybe a better scope for it lmao!!!

2 RepliesThey only nerfed it cause we were wrecking their pve challenges. They're just mad

1 ReplyI find it so funny that people on here overhype gally so much, that when people get one, they're disappointed that it doesn't do as much damage as claimed. Gally doesn't pump out a beastly DPS. It's better than current heavy weapons but not over and beyond. Now truth will have the most damage output since you can carry 8 rockets.

2 RepliesWhat it does it make ghorn that much more needed. Before it was ok to only have 2 ghorns and the rest whatever but now everyone is going to want all ghorns to make up for the loss damage
