What I don't get is Patch 2.0. It gets released at the same time as TTK, right? When TTK launches all of the exotics without a second generation coming forth will become basically useless, yes? So why does Patch 2.0, which comes at the same time as TTK, bother nerfing/tweaking a whole bunch of exotics when TTK automatically obsoletes them anyway?

Because it was probably a separate "team" for balancing and TTK. The DLC's seem like that too. The economy gets changed every DLC

Which surely says a lot about Bungie when the teams don't talk.
-
because eff thorn users, thats why. I agree.

Some of the general nerfs are to make things more fair with Crucible, like hand cannons currently taking the role of handgun, scout rifle, and sniper rifle all-in-one. Or Torn being... well... Thorn. You can't tell me with a straight face that the gun is even REMOTELY balanced. The fact that they won't get a v2.0 upgrade just means they won't get a higher damage cap... which doesn't affect Crucible outside of things like Iron Banner.

Hence my "outside of things [u]like[/u] Iron Banner"

Because they wont be useless, Its all about the light levels and in the crucible levels don't matter (apart from ToO and iron banner) so weapons such as Thorn will still be used (and nerfed). They wont be as OP in PVE but still usable.

This guy knows...

This has been my thoughts along with the fact that Xur sold Gally which the reason voids their reason for nerfing it which was because people said if no Gally they didn't want you. Now that Xur sold it there should only be noobs without it which should be the minority.

The change is probably to the perks and not the guns. That might be because other guns in the future may have the same perks.
-
Some of the tweaks are aimed at the use of guns in crucible, their effectiveness there won't change when TTK is released.

I think it's actually a few days before

For HoW they released the patch a week early to avoid release day disappointment. It kinda worked as after the patch they noticed a huge bug and had to fix it, but luckily they had a week to do it before the game was released

The patches are usually a couple weeks before actually
