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 ;-)

[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]

Important note: the patch hasn't come out yet, we're discussing different outcomes. Who knows what will happen next.

18 RepliesNo, just no. If that happens, it's not bungies fault. Put yourself in bungies shoes. You see the game. You realize that many things are wrong, many are right. You take action. Auto rifles were bad, bring them up. Gally was way too good and gave players the opportunity to completely skip the challenge of many things. So they nerfed it Now the players are mad, because you took away their one way to get something done in less than ten minutes. Bummer So what do you do? If you buff it again it will remain unbalanced and overused. There will be ZERO gun diversity, but the community will be happy... for a little bit. Until they get bored of gally, because they see it 24/7, right in their hands. They never swap it out. It's always their. As a game developer, seeing that outcome lets you know you've failed. The games become stale, because every good plan requires one gun. You've failed, because the players skill is measured by his guns as apposed to how he plays. Ok the flip side, keep it nerfed. FOR A WHILE the people will continue to use it. In fact, they will be sad that it got nerfed and now it is harder to complete things, so they get more. BUT slowly but surely, the daring ones will venture out. They will use other weapons. They will have fun. They will realize a certain weapon that fits their play style perfectly! And they will use it. They will still take down Crota without gally. They will start actually passing around the poison and such on skolas, they will start be more tactical on certain strikes. Overall this will be a long term improvement, and a short term chaos. Players WILL have a better game experience if they venture out from one weapon (same as black hammer, though I disagree with the [i]way[/i] that they nerfed it). TL;DR Everyone will get bored of gally if they don't nerf it. If they [i]do[/i] nerf it, players will slowly venture out to different weapons and overall have a better experience
