[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]

Edited by RavenousLD3341: 2/15/2017 1:54:22 PMI wanted to wait to get the patch notes and actually play before commenting. 1. Bumpitty. 2. Thoughts Nerf hammer swings again. A few things to like in this patch, lots to not like. However, I did play some crucible last night. Here is my take away so far. [b]Handcannons are back baby!!!!![/b] Thank the traveler. Holy shit, after an eternity of these guns being completely unreliable, and using them anyway, now bullets go where I shoot. Uh... -blam!- yes! I am dominating with my favorite guns again. Dug out my Devil You Know and completely rekt every former shotgun warrior that attempted to charge me. If you see me, keep your distance, it's the only way you'll live now. [b]Special Ammo nerf[/b] I've really enjoyed this change. I know there are gonna be some haters, but this is kinda nice. I didn't see a single matador/party crasher/ sniper... anything. I was locked in primary gun battles for the most part, considering I'm at 45-46% primary kills on all of my characters.... this is good for me. Another thing this did was really elevate sidearms. They are quite beneficial to equip and use now. I am certain they will see much more play. I also believe that this will drastically change trials for the better, and I'm actually... you might want to sit down.... actually eager to try it this weekend. [b]The bad?[/b] Truth nerf? Why people? So dumb. [u]I'll sum up Cozmo's post here[/u] [quote]We pushed a broken patch, have fun[/quote] What a joke. The hungering blade change broke every health regen perk in the entire game. Destiny must be a giant -blam!-ing mess when you are actually looking at the code. I have no clue why the devs would know the patch is bugged and push it anyway. I think this clearly shows that they are phoning it in. I work in IT and that wouldn't fly where I work. They said they didn't want to nerf shotguns into non-existence, then proceed to nerf shotguns into non-existence. Then universal remote got it's own special nerf on top of that. Which was out of line. All quickdraw perks received a nerf, for no reason. I've said it once and I'll say it again. If they have to keep mucking around with special weapons, special weapons probably aren't the problem, but the symptom of weak primaries.
