PSA: Stop using Zhalo for Arc burn activities!
Just a reminder asking people to please stop overusing Zhalo. In the last month of heroic strikes and nightfalls there's been Arc burn on five times. (3 heroic, 2 nightfalls) No doubt Zhalo has been [u]THE[/u] go-to primary weapon for these strikes. Unfortunately we are all playing into Bungie's evil plans to nerf the Zhalo by removing the arc burn from it. How you ask? Simple. By driving up the usage via high level content with Arc burn, Bungie and the sandbox team can now put out a graph next month saying Zhalo is overused and not the diverse primary choices they intended hence it needs a nerf and the burn removed. Don't fall into their games people! They already got your legendary burn primaries and now almost a full year later they're coming for the exotic one.
I know people will think I'm insane or been hanging out with Eris too long in the tower but I'm right people. Just look at some of the changes and nerfs they've made because a certain weapon or archetype is overused in the game. Autos, Pulses and Hand Cannons have all been nerfed due to overuse at some point. Shotguns? Nerfed several times. Snipers? Major ammo nerf due to overuse. Field Scout, Final Round, Counterbalance, Hammer Forged, etc...All nerfed because those were the only perks people were looking to use. Mida? Average weapon nerfed when it suddenly soared to popularity and became heavily overused in pvp. Gjallarhorn? Nerfed because it was virtually the only heavy weapon being used and idiots demanded you had it or you were blacklisted from raids and such. The nerfhammer is coming for Zhalo and its up to us to try and stop it.
Tldr: Stop overusing Zhalo or Bungie will nerf it because that's how they roll.

While I do get the basic argument and I agree that Bungie might nerf the Supercell Zhalo if it is overused, the problem is that Zhalo is the only Year 2 primary with Arc Burn ( heck, it's the only Year 2 Primary with a burn ). With the recent nerfs to how much much Special and Heavy ammo we can carry, Bungie has kind of forced our hand, by adding Arc Burn to the Heroic Strike playlist they've severely limited the player base's options.

Hmm,, I don't care if they remove arc burn from zhalo. I'll use it during arc burn now, and if they remove it i won't use it anymore.

4 RepliesI'd call you crazy, but Bungie has done crazier, so I believe you.

4 Repliesi've been saying this fora couple weeks. i think it is Bungies idea to collect data - showing that because there is a burn - that zhalo is the only primary being used. they will then use this data collected to point out why Elemental primaries will not return, because then that is the only gun being used. and doesnt' fit into their diversity plan - where a lot of different weapons can be used. why else would we have Arc burn on heroics for, what, 3 straight weeks now? and now the Nightfall is Arc as well. just seems funny that the burn just happens to be the only one we actually have a Primary for.

5 RepliesWilling to sacrifice the 335 strike specific loot to 315 to see how Fatebringer and Fang of Ir Yut fare in this week's heroics ;)

1 ReplyI finally just got mine. So guess what? I'm going to use it.
-
You're probably right, instead of the better alternative, which is "GIVE US F**KING ELEMENTAL PRIMARIES AGAIN, IT WAS ACTUALLY FUN", they'll probably just take it off of the Zhalo and call it fixed
-
4 RepliesWell, this week Heroic Modifiers are Arc Burn and Small Arms. I don't have any other primary with Arc besides Zhalo, do you?
-
At this point I'm pretty sure they think that way. Same with the grasp, they just can't stop nerfing.

2 Repliesim gonna use the crap out of it when I solo the night fall 3 times.

1 ReplyThat will never happen. Burns being nerfed to have less of a difference is a possibility though.

3 RepliesThe sad thing is I legitimately can't tell if you're being sarcastic or serious.

1 ReplyYou forgot to add the #Satire tag. Oh...you were serious.

3 RepliesIt's just them trying to keep the player base entertained until the new content drops. You're reaching way too far, buckaroo.
-
1 ReplyI just think that they don't play the game enough to understand it. They just look at numbers and make a decision. It's important to know the feel of the game and what really matters to players.

2 RepliesEdited by KitsuneSonow: 7/6/2016 4:12:56 AMBungie: We don't want players to be locked to one weapon when going in to activities. *Proceeds to make Zhalo Supercell the only elemental primary*. These are the people we have in charge of the sandbox....

1 ReplyThe scary thing is, you're probably right.

1 ReplyThis is why I think they should either A. Add some sort of hard to come by item to add an element to an exotic primary or B. Make one damn elemental primary exotic for each burn. Just one.

1 ReplyI'm gunna use this chance to use necrochasm, fatebringer and fang of ir uut
-
2 RepliesI dare you to make less sense. You don't think they account for this? Skulls in strikes are literally designed to challenge the players to use their gear and classes more intelligently.
