Bungie, I truly do concern if you listen to your player feedback at all. You look at charts. Not at actual feedback. After reading the recent TWAB. It’s clear that you guys want something to be meta so you nerf anything and buff what you want to be the best that season. Btw doing stuff like that doesn’t keep the game “fresh.” We experienced the same problem the first season when shadowkeep came out.
You made Izanagi’s Burden one of the best (debatably the best) snipers out there. Snipers were now becoming a permanent thing in player’s slots and a lot of compliments on such. Then you nerfed it because “they were used too often.” Then you forced Xenophage as a new meta. Speaking of which. You made the exotic so underwhelming (and you knew it), that you nerfed every other option just enough to make Xeno top dog.
Now swords are phenomenal. People can’t get enough of swords being amazing. Now you’re nerfing it for the same reason of then being used too often. You’re demolishing any respect the community has built up from you every time you do this.
The only thing I want to put forward as a possible option that reminds me so much of D1 metas. There were [b][i]OPTIONS[/i][/b] to achieve the best DPS. There was obviously the holy trinity of heavy which was ghally, spindle, and sleeper. Which was fine. Or you could get wild and use razelighter or dark drinker. Oh? Don’t have Ghally? That’s fine even if you have dragon’s breath. I haven’t even touched the special weapons yet. What’s the point of this paragraph of a rant? Variety. There was more than one way to take someone down. We need variety now. What do we have now? Xeno, 2 different swords, and anarchy. Special weapons: 2 slug shottys and a few select snipers. Don’t nerf them now that I pointed them out. I’m sure you’re chart is pointing them out just fine. See what I meant though? We are forced into this niche because you want us here. Then when you’re tired of the meta you’re going to force us into another niche we don’t want to do but we have to or else we won’t get anything done. I ask you buff other things to give us options. Players with options opens opportunities for more builds and more possibilities for more fun content than tagging taniks with 2 mines and just shotgunning.
I know this is going to fall on deaf ears considering how you guys are going at this rate. I also know a portion of the community is a whiny bunch but listen to us. Sure some go way to extreme with the insults and exaggerate the “death” of this game. However, there are some that are genuinely concerned for the health of the game and actually have some pretty good ideas on what to do about it, but you have to be able to [b][i]LISTEN[/i][/b].
Final point I want to talk about. Shadowkeep came out a little more than a year ago and you just introduced sun setting and we are already getting some weapons back? Then what’s the point of sun setting if you’re just going to bring them back in a couple months. Also, if you don’t release guns to compensate for what we lost. Like what? Beyond light came out with like 30 weapons total but we lost like 70 something of just viable weapons? Granted that’s over the years of non sunsetted content that just became useless in a day. Also I feel like Saint-14’s season wasn’t even that long ago and I’m already going to lose the perfect paradox is spent so much time on getting. I personally don’t think sun setting isn’t going to solve the problems you guys are actually going to have or currently have, but if it is. We at least deserve some sort of explanation as to why it’s working on your end. Anything is better than silence.
