I usually don't complain about things on the forums, but this in particular pissed me off. I'm not as much pissed about the removal of field scout, more so the fact that they didn't replace it with anything. I now have a good amount of guns with only 2 perks available in the middle tree. Why not replace it with a random perk, I'd take anything other than a perk that does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Just my two cents, let me know your opinions. Thanks for your time guardians.
**guardian down**
Edit 1: didn't think I would need to clarify this, but extra reserve ammo, in my opinion, is a pointless middle tree perk making it, in my opinion, absolutely pointless.
Edit 3: didn't think I would need to state this, but your armor maxes your reserve ammo and the perks do not stack, therefore field scout=absolutely useless.
Edit 4: would be nice to get some sort of confirmation from someone affiliated with bungie on whether or not this was what they intended to do with field scout.

Edited by haphazardlynamed: 9/9/2015 2:39:43 AMHmmh This kills my Jolder's Hammer Efrideets Spear (not a final round, a field scout 6 shooter) The Conduit, base of 6 bursts makes field scout mandatory Why not just convert all field scout into Extended Magazine or Casket Mag? These perks exist post vanilla, trading to them would put your old guns on at least equal footing As opposed to the current method of straight downgrade They must really want those old guns deleted, but don't have the guts to just delete our vaults So they just sabotage them and give us the illusion of choosing to give them up

Field scout was not replace Vanilla weapons are kill

Edited by SoloFade: 9/10/2015 11:13:03 AMLets cry about weapons you'll only use for a few more days. If your using them in anything but crucible after the xpac is out, you're hurting your light level. So go ahead and complain. We will all be killing stuff with our new weapons and you can sit here and cry about the old. Why are you bitching about something that will only affect you until the 15th?
-
The real question is why was it taken out at all.
-
Corrective measure with field scout still gives 150 rounds. Just takes 3 reloads to go through them all. Fieldscout double down efrideets still starts with 24 rounds. Field scout is still viable
-
Edit 4: It's definitely what they meant to do with field scout. It's in the patch notes. They might have plans for a new similar perk for future guns, but the old guns are apparently screwed :/

Glad to see the community noticed. I started a bit of a petition with purposef changes. Please read share & bump it up if you agree https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/152507834/0/0

Because it seems like we are still playing a beta...
-
Yeah. I got on and my two main PvE weapons now have lower ammo. Vision of Confluence and Praedyth's Revenge have less ammo in the mag... kinda a real drag.
-
Edited by Smith5084: 9/9/2015 6:37:21 PMYeah. They have us grind for etheric light for months to upgrade our weapons with the best perks... Then they butcher all of those perks to the point of making them completely worthless and tell us that all of our weapons will be useless in new content... I moved on from Destiny a couple of months ago, but was pretty excited to come back for TTK... Now I'm not so sure there is anything to be excited about... Everything about this update seems designed to do nothing but reset people's weapons and armor and prolong the grind for as long as possible... Too many good games coming out this fall to hop back into this content bare grindfest...
-
You get the same amount of total ammo, just less in the mag, not a big deal really.

Edited by xj3ewok: 9/9/2015 2:52:36 AMHere's what bungie thought: "Hmmm we need to kill their favorite weapons but not just in pve let's just screw every year one players arsenal to the point they wouldn't even use them in PvP! Hahaha that'll teach them to cry nerf and say deej sucks!!" I'm guessing that was bungies thinking.

Bungie should start crossing out good perks with a red stamp over it labeled NERFED. Bungie's formula: 1. Compile data to find community's favorite items and perks 2. Avoid making unpopular items and perks better 3. Ruin favorite items and perks to [b]force[/b] players to use the crappy ones 4. Compile new list and repeat to annoy players.
-
They should have made it so field scout kept it's ammo capacity but lowered the reserve Casket mag could slightly buff both reserve and capacity. 3rd perk bonus reserve but reduces capacity.
-
Its in the patch notes...
-
Should have just replaced it with casket mag or whatever the new perk is called
-
We told them we would hold onto our year one gear so they said ok and proceeded to nerf bat everything we hold dear from year one and what made it special. Easy fix. Sigh.
-
So glad my super pox has field scout and extended mag. And to think I almost sharded it.
-
I know, my poor spear now only has 3 shots :/ This is by far the only thing I think is worth complaining about
-
My corrective measure... :'(
-
Because you don't deserve field scout!!!!!!
-
I have extended mag on my rare sniper....it still has 4 rounds when it has 4 rounds without extended mags.... Yeah F dat
-
It wasn't replaced because Bungie is a bunch of lazy twats who hate Year 1 gear. It wasn't reduced because Bungie is a bunch of lazy twats who hate Year 1 gear.
-
Sucks balls because I had field scout on my Shadow Price. A nice 42 round magazine. Now back down to... 27? I can't remember lol.
-
It does have an effect... but I wouldn't buy it.
-
So excited for my vanquished with field scout today but oh wait....
