#destinytruthcast Episode 38: PvP Killed the PvE Star
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've listened to quite a few of these. You guys do a thorough job, and IronBill had a lot of nice points, kudos. Just wanted to throw my two cents at a couple things. The original Vex Mythoclast legit broke the game. I recall one match in particular. I was playing skirmish with two friends and our team of three got matched up against three randoms. One of the randoms had a Vex. This was obviously back in the early stages of the game when seeing a Vex was uncommon. I remember my team and I were playing a lot of crucible back then, I still do today. Anyways, it wasn't just that the Vex was strong, it was overwhelmingly dominant. You could maybe get off two hand cannon shots before being melted by the Vex. My team ended up just barely winning the match, but it was only because we could team-shoot the Vex and his teammates were trash. My point: certain weapons are strong today and can almost always win in a one v. one scenario, but the old school Vex could almost take out an entire team of three by itself. When Red Wing said that all weapons should be relegated to a vanilla status and pretty much be identical I couldn't have disagreed more. People play this game for different reasons. Red Wing plays for certain armor drops and her quest for tier 12. I did the same until I got there. I also play for loot drops. Getting different weapons in Destiny is one of the reasons I continue to play. Diminishing that aspect and taking away what makes weapons fun to use in general would make me put this game down for good. It already lacks variety and the loot system is beyond terrible, but that's a different discussion all together. I do realize that everyone is entitled the their opinion, but when hamstercat said that we should learn to accept Destiny as it's presented to us I literally laughed out loud, ha. Bungie has strived for a community-first game, and desires to showcase all of our accomplishments in their weekly tributes. They've given us a voice and have made us a large part of this game. By making us such a focal point, we all wish for Destiny to be better than what it is. Standing idly by and watching Destiny devolve from something so many of us loved just isn't in the cards. We care too much because Bungie has continually encouraged us to, and this has resulted in harsh criticism at the way Bungie has more or less neglected this game for so long. Accepting some of the mistakes that continue to plague this game just isn't possible anymore. We know how much fun Destiny can be and want to see it get there again. And, at this point, if by some miracle a majority of us continue on to Destiny 2 we refuse to allow Bungie to get away with making the same mistakes in the next installment as they did with the first. We want better things from this game and Bungie has encouraged us to not only seek it but expect it. Accepting mediocrity is not an option.
