Leaked weekly update by DeeJ.
Here goes:
[b]Nightfall Rewards:[/b]
We noticed in year 1 that players were doing the weekly nightfall strike to get good weapons and XP/Rep bonus. Since this is our hardest strike to complete in the game, we've made a few adjustments:
- We've reduced exotic item drop rates by 700%
- We've increased drop rate of class items 270 defense and below by 900%
- We've removed all sorts of XP and rep bonuses altogether.
[b]Economy:[/b]
We noticed that players were earning crucible and vanguard marks to buy gear that they wanted. We also noticed that strange coins and motes of light were being used way too appropriately. So we made some changes:
- We removed crucible and vanguard marks in favor of Legendary Marks
- Now you can earn unlimited legendary marks per week, however we've removed just about every source of marks from the game.
- For no reason at all, we are reducing the amount of Strange Coins and Motes of Light you will receive.
PvP balance:
We noticed some people are complaining how Sunbreaker is OP and Nightstalker has a game breaking glitch. As a result we're implementing some changes:
- Shotgun range has been decreased by 2%
- Sniper rifles with a mag size of 5 bullets or more, will now have a single bullet that does 2x damage.
- Increased Shank HP by 4%
[b]The Grind:[/b]
We promised that after removing nightfall XP bonuses we would find other ways to lessen the grind. We are completely ignoring this promise and refusing to talk about this issue and hope it goes away.
Also, micro transactions are a thing now. This seemed way more important than continuing to improve the game or deliver on the promises we've made.
MOTW:
Best action packed movie ever. 420 no scope 62 kill streak:

Note for the brain dead: This is obviously a joke and no part of it is intended to be taken seriously in ANY way.

Bungie sead we can earn unlimited legendary marks and there's no cap in how meny we can earn a week but that was a lie cause the only way to get them is the weekly heroic, daily story and daily crucible so if you look at that yeah we kind of do have a limite to how meny we can get

thank you for posting this. the strange coin nerf sucks. the rng isnt fixed liked promised, bungie has lied to us time an time again, and bungie has to make up money for being sued by there ex employee which they did completly wrong. so i guess if they treat employees like this, this gives them the right to treat us like this as well? so wrong bungie so wrong.

The PvP balance section was hilarious

Nah this is completely unrealistic for a weekly update: You forgot that #help section no one cares about, the error code of the week or whatever. Deej never actually gives any specifics of the incomming patches: he'll mention one or two points then slap us in the face with suprise material reductions or equivalent thing no one asked for. Also your article needs more vague promises and "We'll talk more about this in the weeks to come"
