With another tuning patch about to be announced, it will be interesting to see once more the effects of the PvP balancing on PvE play. Should the modes be separated or should Bungie continue to cling to the notion of wanting our weapons to perform the same in both modes?

[spoiler][quote]The #destinytruthcast is a Bnet #feedback forum community podcast hosted by members of the community and featuring community members as guests.
The podcast was started to give everyday guardians a chance to do something they would probably never experience by being on a podcast and to give them the opportunity to have not just their thoughts, but their voices heard by Bungie as they discuss the game.
Beyond that, it's allowed us to get to know the voices and personalities behind the gamertags we see on the forums and get to know each other in a way not possible in anonymous words on a page.
We aren't here to endorse or tear down Bungie or Destiny, but to give honest, balanced talk on this game. Thank-you and maybe we'll see you on an episode. [/quote][/spoiler]

I have to commend you on another Awesome Truthcast with some really good banter between the parties. You guys really do have your finger on the pulse of the community. That being said there are two things: Weapons and RedWingGirls concerns with leaving stuff behind. Shotguns need explosive or nano rounds that melt armor like a thorn DoT. Grenade Launchers that you can actually bounce off walls and or detonate at will. Sniper rifles that can penetrate Walls Maybe, I dunno, LET US PICK UP ALIEN WEAPONS. Or better yet. let us have alien weaponry as keepable arsenal. I would love for Dead Orbit to come out with a miniaturized version of Cabal Slug rifles. Or hell, let me make a huge character and Ill just beast the Normal sized Cabal weaponry. IF they want true variety, Ammo variations for weapons. the ammo could be element based but there needs to be enemies who are more vulnerable to plain ballistic like an Omni-shielded emery that has resistance to elements so regular bullets would do bonus damage and bypass their element shields. As for RedWingGirl: We as Guardians are immortal once our ghost finds us, (Saladin is hundreds of years old) I think what may happen is we get a distress call from the Tower. They are under siege, we get there but are overwhelmed aside from Shaxx saving us and letting us escape. We have no time to empty our Vaults before the Cabal Empire just Blue Beam of Deaths the tower. So we Naturally lose our stuff. Now cut to several hundred years later. We are still playing our characters but our armor is shoddy, weapons in our bags are failing. The weapon manufacturers cannot make weapons like they used to under the traveler with the Golden age tech and we are running for our lives. I feel that would be a decent beginning as to why we have to start from scratch. And I wouldn't mind. But if I am forced to make a new character then yeah I'm gonna be pissed. They need to put some thought into how we transition to D2.
