Nerfing Gjallarhorn will lead to extreme elitism

Bungie nerfs Gjally, Gjally still reigns supreme. Gjally does less DPS, so it'll become more relevant, since everyone in your fireteam will need one to output as much DPS as possible. More and more posts with Gjally only will emerge on LFG. JOB WELL DONE BUNGIE! Or am I missing something? @Deej or @Cozmo : you're reading this? Elitism will prevail unfortunately. Go report that back to your game designers ;-) Credits to Skyguy: [quote]Let me make it easy for you, lets say we need 225k damage to kill a boss. Gjally does 9k while other rockets do 6k. Everyone has 5 rockets, so a gjally user would do 45k damage, while a non gjally user will do 30k damage. Right now we need 3 gjally users and 3 different rockets to kill him. Now if we make ghorn do 40k per 5 shots, we'll need 4 gjally users and 2 regular rocket launchers and some extra shots from primary to kill it. Most people would go for the easy way where they don't need to shoot extra shots with primaries, that would mean people would require 5 gjallys to do what could've been done with 3 gjallys in the past.[[/quote] https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/139323167/0/0/1 Important note: the patch hasn't come out yet, we're discussing different outcomes. Who knows what will happen next.

  • True, this is correct good sir. I would rather have a full team of Gjallarhorn's than Truths. The Taken King Raid is going to require Gjallarhorn.

        I just signed on this morning, normally I would see 12-17 people on my friends list, right now only 2. I think this will be the result. I know several people that are saying that this was the final straw for them. I know I am quickly losing interest, even though I really like the game. Taking big guns out of the game, takes the reason to chase and grind away, which is what kept many still playing. I don't know who all these people are, but i have been using lfg for months. I just rcvd the gally recently. Not having it, made me a better player and i was never, not once, turned down to play on lfg for not having it. I have helped several people beat skolas, when they did not have gally. I have gone out of my way to help the players, by teaching them the strat to win, with/without the gally. Now I really just don't care. I won't be a demand gally guy out of spite guy, I may just quit playing. I am very close to losing all interest. I know many feel the same. If this is their 9 year plan from here, I'm for sure not interested. This is a game and it's supposed to be fun. many take it way to serious and whine and bitch about everything. They are the ones that caused this. And for me at least, the fact that bungie catered to them, sets a bad look to the future. Not saying I am quitting, just trying to find a reason to play a game, I am even more bored with right now. The only way bungie will ever change is if people quit playing, even if for just a while. i just don't think people have the balls to do it, even though they want too. They have to much invested, which is what bungie is betting on. For me anyway, that attitude makes it easier to walk away. Future up in the air, i will use today, to see if the game is still fun and if any friend sign on..

        • Need 6 man team of maxed gallys and fatebringers and vestian dynasty because BH got nerfed. So we need 7x6 gally rounds that's 42 multiplied by thousands of damage against (new raid boss) if you don't have gally don't reply because wolf puppy rounds are King

        • Am I upset that G-horn got hit? Yes Am I going to stop using it? No Does this mean I should deny those without one an invite? No, because I could care less if people didn't have it then. Once the patch hits I will still continue to play with people that don't have it.

              Agreed. They thought "Must have Gjallarhorn" was a problem before I think they just made it worse.

              • Dragonsbreath. Does more damage per rocket when used properly than Gjallarhorn. It just requires more than point and shoot. It also requires you to pace your shots so that they don't overlap unless actually needed (for forcing an enemy back into the orginal solar flare)

                        • Yes it still does the most damage but that doesn't mean everything else doesn't work. God this community is retarded when the only solution everyone has is what does the most damage so we can get it over quickly. People have beaten skolas with 0 ghorn a, no matter what it's damage output, it's not needed to win a fight unless you suck.

                                • If they didn't want the elitism on the LFG sites how about increase the drop rate or just have XUR sell it. Why nerf a primarily PVE weapon, when the outcome is going to cause the opposite affect of why it was nerfed in the first place?
