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]

Good podcast. Very happy that comment I made while on about weapons requiring different number of headshots to kill enemies and guardians stuck with yall. Weapons never perform the same in pve or pvp because enemies require different amount of headshots to kill. So the line Deej said "We dont want you to look at a weapon and ask why does this do this in pve and not pvp?" Only thing that applies to is perks. Time to kill is different for almost all enemies. Lets look at Scout Rifles Dregs and Thralls = 1 headshot Vandals, acoyltes, Goblins = 2 Headshots (In goblin case stomach shot) Knights = 3 Headshots Guardians 3-4 headshots Also another thing I want to bring up is what (Very sorry I couldnt remember who said it) about weapons and comparison to the flight sim game. Guns never really improved over the years. Its pretty much the same guns every year just different skins or new look. Unlike in that flight sim game where its clear jet fighters are a big improvement over WW2 planes. Here in Destiny its not that big of a deal when look at the guns besides light level. Sure some have some stat differences like Aim Assistance buts its nothing monumental. Also dont quote me on this but isnt Her Benevolence from year 1 still a very good sniper and beats some year 3 snipers? If we had weapons like the raid pulse from Crota that could shoot through Knight walls then Id understand better weapons but yet we dont have stuff like that. Put more weapons like THAT in Bungie. Weapons that affect enemies! Not weapons that increase reload speed or more armor with battle runner perk. Not saying those are bad just more stuff like the year 1 stuff.
