I honestly feel like the secretly nerf weapons , Bungie is shady

You weren't supposed to notice the warlock nerf.

Ever worked in a large organization? If you have, it is [i]easy[/i] to see how something like this happened: poor communication. The jobs in large corporations are very specialized (otherwise you get chaos and confusion over who is supposed to be doing what). So effectiveness depends on clear and careful coordination between people doing certain things. So here’s how that accidental nerf can happen. 1. Bungie is making lots of changes at once. But the people making the changes (Sandbox team) aren’t the same ones who created this new weapon (Weapons Design). So they change the code to alter one weapon and don’t realize (the game has millions of lines of code) that it shares code with the new weapon. 2. Someone tests a change, but forgets to remove it and therefore doesn’t tell anyone about it. It not the job of anyone else to look at what the damage numbers are...so they don’t catch it. 3. Bungie is trying to streamline their changes. So that means making testing faster so their is less time and less opportunity to catch unusual events or problems. 4. COVID-19. Meeting and communications that once happened face to face and in real time are now happening virtually and point-to-point. (Messages and intentions get distorted). 5. The issue isn’t quality testing. By the time the gun gets to QA testing, that is about making sure the weapon WORKS and isn’t breaking the game in some unexpected way. I highly doubt that job includes making sure it’s doing the right amount of damage. That’s the Sandbox Teams job...see points 1-3. 6. Bungie grew extremely rapidly as a company, going from 200 employees to almost 1000...with a combine workforce of almost 1500 in about five years. So they had to formalize a lot of things that can be handled in formally in an environment where everyone knows each other...and had to do it while the size and complexity of operations exploded. TLDR: mistakes like this are usually the result of communication breakdowns in a large organization. Either because of human error. Or because something unusual happened that the system didn’t allow for. So either no one picked up on it, or no one felt they could safely act upon it. In some toxic organizations (I used to work in one) you’d get punished for doing the right thing simply because it was done in the “wrong” way. So sometimes people will let things break, instead of risking themselves to intervene.

Because it's a complex infinitesimal web of code and changing things sometimes have knock on, unexpected or unintentional consequences. You only need to look at any live service game. I remember Apex's hit detection went slightly off one update, but it was unnoticed until out in the wild because its impossible to stress test every little thing and the difference was so hit and miss that it had to be out there and getting played for players to notice something was a little off. Further inspection confirmed it and it got fixed. That's one example in thousands. If you combed and play tested a patch so utterly comprehensively that nothing got through, we would never get patches and the manpower would be absurd. As a gamer you just accept there may be a few teething troubles sometimes and get on with just enjoying the game, if it ain't totally broke.

Lie, so when they "fix" something it's not going to be how it originally was before the nerf. So instead of stealth nerfing it knowing the player base would catch on, they do it in plain sight and come up with some story to justify their dumb actions. History speaks for its self...

If you're not a game dev then maybe you should stop talking and be quiet.

My guess as for the eyes of Tomorrow nerf, was that some accidently put (-) instead of (+) 20%

I am sure that they nerfed dunemarchers and that’s why it isn’t “working properly.” Assholes

o look everyone a original post i think we need 12 more just like this one so bungie heard us

Isn't it obvious by now that they don't playtest their game

The players are the play testers. All Bungie checks for are technical errors in implementation limited to signing into, and exploration within the game world. They don't play test every individual thing that may go wrong for everything in the game, that would be absurd.

It’s almost like there might be a small group of disgruntled employees inside bungie that are constantly FÜCKING up the games code on purpose. Seriously this is a triple A company worth billions and has a thousand employees and EVERY SINGLE TIME a new patch comes out like 50+ things get broken. That never happens with other games. Ya small little bugs and glitches do happen but no where near the same level of this game and no where near as frequently. And other games fix the problems within a few days. Bungie often times it takes them weeks or months to finally fix something. A perfect recent example if this is the thunder lord scope. A new patch came out a few months ago and after the patch the scope for thunder lord was gone. Did bungie even bother to fix this? Nope. Was this a huge issue. Nope. But it’s very very very lazy and unprofessional to not go in and fix that right away. It was like this for about 5-6 weeks. They only bothered to fix it when the new season started. LOL! Pathetic bungie, really pathetic.

The funny thing is, they came and said exotics get treated and balanced separately lol. So I'm also wondering how they managed to nerf an exotic that gets balanced and tweaked separately compared to other things

How do people spell things wrong when spell checker exists?
