I’ve been playing a good amount of trials this weekend, and I’ve gotta day that this hard light buff is a little absurd. It took me a while to realize it, but I see why people are getting pissed off, including myself. Does anybody else agree that this should be addressed for a possible nerf? I mean I love that auto rifles are now relavent, but this seems like they gave it too much love... 😬

Bungie you’re a bunch of idiots leave the shit the way it was. A auto rifle shouldn’t overpower a hand cannon. Also this new content sucks ass. After this expansion I will not be spending my money on this worthless shit

I'm fairly new to destiny but holy crap all I see in Crucible is hardlight. I'm not the best at Crucible but most of the time if there's only like 1 person using hardlight I can normally deal with it but I've seen people in the same clan all using hardlight. Literally 4/6 people on the enemy team all using hardlight and there's really not much you can do against that. Even just random people being put together in Crucible I'm rarely in a match without hardlight being used by my teammates or enemies. All I'm saying is nerf it somehow it's a real problem, I refuse to ever use hardlight in Crucible because it's so broken.
-
Agree fully. Hard light in crucible is devastating, and for people who are trying to get hand cannon precision kills for a exotic quest (like me) it is your worst enemy
-
If everyone has it on, it needs a nerf
-
It's ridiculous how OP the thing is. Can't understand why it hasn't been fixed yet. There's no way on earth that this is working as intended. Like, come on, Bungo.

There is no nerf necessary. This gun was absolutely non-viable before the buff, and the ONLY reason anyone is saying it needs a nerf is because they can't dominate the field with revoker, NF, or Lunas anymore and they aren't happy about it. I say bungie should stop nerfing and buffing guns period. Give guns universal basic stats and then increase those stats based on the rarity of the item, as I know I'm not the only one who thinks that an exotic should always outclass legendaries or below simply because they are EXOTIC WEAPONS, then make Extoics hard to find. Somewhere between the "Who tf has seen an exotic recently" times and flood of exotics that came with forsaken, but closer to former of the two.

Yes, for once I actually fully support a nerf. I've been playing lots of crucible lately and it is everywhere. Literally. Everywhere. I've even been using it myself. Now, it is boring. I'm tired of seeing it, tired of using it, it's stupid. None of my other loadoats I've tried are very effective so far... so I resort back to using it... which leads into more boringness. Please nerf hard light.
-
It's probably gonna get nerfed, but bungie likes to for some reason always have this meta "cycle". Just wait til they nerf auto rifles into the ground again and make something else meta.
-
I never play crucible but I did for my 100 kills for the new auto rifle catalyst and thank god for hard light or I might have never got it done but there are definitely guns out there that can beat it because the same people killed me over and over. I am done with it now so I don’t care

After getting 11 flawlesses and a 62 win streak. Hardlight needs something to make it not the literal best pick. Sure it’s an exotic slot, but max stability with infinite range and laser like precision AND really good TTK gives it too many pros and not enough cons. Take away double damage on ricochet rounds maybe or even give it crazy screenshake again. It’s truly strong and busted. It’s an outlier and confuses people who aren’t intelligent enough to see Hardlight is a problem not the auto rifle buff.
-
Only hardlight has to be nerfed, remove the 2x damage on bullet bounce and eliminate the no damage fall off, making it exotic just because it can switch elements, just like the sniper that can also do that and is exotic.
-
i agree, it's completely one sided if you encounter someone who knows to use it reasons: -no dmg falloff -way too much dps in pvp -can't hit a shit when being shot by it -it bounces god dammit -even more dmg on bounce -i suck at using it
-
it didnt need the stability buff and the dmg buff it got from auto rifle buff infact the 600 rpm auto rifles got buffed way to hard
-
I don’t use hard light. But I enjoy lot of laser shows in PvP modes.

No nerf, I have been really enjoying reading the -blam!- on the forums.
