[b]If you have a nerf you are aware of that Bungie didn't tell us was coming, or a failure of a buff Bungie didn't do what they were supposed to do, comment below, and I'll attempt to monitor and add your contributions to this thread. Ty.[/b]
[b][i][u]••••SCOUT RIFLES••••[/u][/i][/b]
Base Damage increased slightly for "Medium" to "High" Rate-of-Fire Scout Rifles. Small adjustment, does not change shots-per-kill in PVP against another Guardian with full health
[b][i][u]Magazine Size increased on all base stats[/u][/i][/b]
Accuracy when firing from hip is reduced ([b][i][u]by what????)[/u][/i][/b]
Damage done against AI combatants increased by 5%
--Base damage increase for scout rifles is not said. "Slightly increased" with nothing mentioned means you "slightly increased nothing".
--[b][i]no change in magazine sizes IN GAME. Failure to apply and WAS NOT DONE in-game.[/i][/b]
________________________
[b][i][u]••••PULSE RIFLES••••[/u][/i][/b]
All Stable (low recoil) Pulse Rifles (i.e., Hopscotch Pilgrim) now use "Medium" Rate-of-Fire base stats
"Medium" Pulse Rifle's Rate-of-Fire has slightly increased [b][i][u](by what???[/u][/i][/b]), but with base Damage reduced slightly (2.5%)
PVP: Bursts-to-kill (all precision hits) is 2 or 3, depending on victim’s Armor stat
[b][i][u]Magazine Size increased[/u][/i][/b] on all base stats
Base Stability reduced slightly (by what???)
Landing consistent precision shots require more weapon control
Damage done against AI combatants increased by 25%
[b][i][u]---Magazine sizes NOT increased. FAILED TO APPLY in-game.
---Hopscotch pilgrim impact NERFED, but not "The Messenger" impact, or "SpareChange2.5" impact.[/u][/i][/b]
________________________
[b][i][u]••••SHOTGUNS••••[/u][/i][/b]
Shotgun precision damage scalar grants 10% bonus damage (Was 25%)
Shot Package perk reduces the cone spread by 20% (was 50%)
Rangefinder perk adds a 10% base Range increase on zoom (was 20)
[b][i][u]Damage done against AI combatants reduced by 45% ( 2.25-> 1.15)[/u][/i][/b]
[b][i][u]--Bungie stated SHOTGUNS were only going to receive a -10% PVE damage NERF against AI combatants. THIS patch notes area states -45%. So literally... Bungie lied.[/u][/i][/b]
_____________________
[b][i][u]••••FUSION RIFLES••••[/u][/i][/b]
Fusion Rifles now no longer get more accurate with each projectile fired
Fusion Rifles that are slow charging, high impact now have a slightly lower base Range value, making it harder to max out
range for these weapons
Accuracy increased for low range Fusion Rifles; Accuracy reduced for high range Fusion Rifles
Max Fusion Rifle [b][i][u]projectile speed decreased slightly[/u][/i][/b]
Damage done against AI combatants increased by 15%
[b][i][u]--Fusion Rifle projectiles are made of ENERGY, not a "physical Ballistic". Same as the "Hard Light" projectiles. It's why there's a PERK called "ENHANCED BATTERY". [/u][/i][/b]
[b][i][u]••••YEAR ONE PERKS••••[/u][/i][/b]
We have revisted all of these Year One stat perks and [b][i][u]reduced the amount they buff your weapon stat[/u][/i][/b] to re-normalize against Year Two weapon lethality and reinforce specialization so players are making meaningful trade-offs on weapons.
Field Scout: No longer affects magazine. Reduced inventory bonus by 37%
[b][i][u]--YOU STATED "reduced the amount they buff your weapon STAT". FIELD SCOUT is a "WEAPON STAT", it WASNT "reduced". You didn't reduce the buff to the weapon stat. You "REMOVED field scout from ALL THE WEAPONS" by nullifying the field scouts ability of adding to the weapon magazine entirely. It's a weapon stat. You said you'd reduce the stat, NOT "remove it". SO that is a lie.
--Adding reserve ammo from field scout to the ammo inventory is worthless. ARMOR PERKS ADD AMMO TO THE RESERVE ON ALL KINDS OF ARMOR PIECES. This wasted everyone's grind time, gear earning, and leveling armor.[/u][/i][/b]
__________________________
[b][i][u]••••STRIKES••••[/u][/i][/b]
Burn (Arc, Void, Solar) Skulls now [b][i][u]only increases player damage by 2x (down from 3x).[/u][/i][/b] Combatant damage to player is unchanged at 3x.
--Negating 1/3 the player burn in nightfalls is [b][i][u]complete garbage. ENEMY COMBATANTS on many occasions have "elemental shields" that don't match their "elemental weapons". Players DONT have "elemental shields", and even IF you add the "elemental defense perks" on players armor in TTK... you've literally made ALL ELEMENTAL WEAPONS we have earned and will earn ONE THIRD useless.

[b]VAMPIRE NOX:[/b] (listed in spoiler)
[spoiler] [quote][b][u]Field Scout[/b][/u]
*Field Scout: No longer affects magazine.
*Reduced inventory bonus by 37%
[b](then what the -blam!- is it good for!? So I can hold +6 rounds in my ammo reserves!?!?)[/b]
[b][u]Perfect Balance[/b][/u]
*Reduced stability bonus by 40%
[b](a "balance" perk that does next to nothing to increase stability? Do you developers even know that a perfectly balanced firearm/blade is [i]supposed to be[/i] nigh-infinitely better than one that is not!? That is why "perfectly balanced" weapons are so highly sought after in any game! Now the weapons jump around and they get no help whatsoever. You would have been better removing the Perk entirely and replacing it with one named "good luck getting a head shot...")[/b]
[b][u]Speed Reload[/b][/u]
*Reduced reload bonus by 80%
[b](this is a joke, right? What -blam!-ing good is a "speed" perk that doesn't increase speed in any noticeable way!?)[/b]
[b][u]Heavy Payload[/b][/u]
*Reduced blast radius bonus by 50%
[b](you guys apparently have no idea that a "heavy payload" means much bigger/more lethal explosions... which means A BIGGER -blam!-ING BLAST RADIUS!!!)[/b]
[b][u]Extended Mag[/b][/u]
*Reduced magazine bonus by 33%
[b](See Field Scout above. Really, Bungie!? -blam!-ing WHY!?!? WHAT'S THE POINT OF EVEN [i]HAVING[/i] IT NOW!?)[/b]
[b][u]Accelerated Coils[/b][/u]
*Reduced charge time by 50%
[b](So... not [i]actually[/i] accelerated then?)[/b]
[b][u]Aggressive Ballistics[/b][/u]
*Reduced damage bonus by 50%.
*Increased stability and range penalties by 100%
[b](So, not really "aggressive" anymore...should've renamed the Perk to "Mewling Kitten Ballistics".)[/b]
These nerfs are testicle-crushing, Bungie. What's the -blam!-ing point anymore to even trying at PvE?[/quote] [/spoiler]
[b]TIMBO FFS[/b]: (listed in spoiler, rep exp nerfed)
[spoiler] [quote]Earning half of what you used to earn for Faction XP, and earning a load of Vanguard/Crucible XP, twice what you get for Factions, WHEN I DON'T EVEN WANT IT!!!!!! GIVE ME MY FACTION XP FFS!!!!!!
Not announced in any update, or stream. So nobody tell me it was, cos it isn't. nobody said @you will get 50% of what you used to get. Nobody. They kept it hidden. Because they knew they're screwing people like me over, the hardcore players who exclusively level factions.[/quote] [/spoiler]
[b]RECTOR DEATH[/b]:(orbs ninja nerfed)
[spoiler][quote]FRIGGEN ORB GENERATION!!!!!!! I am on the striker Titan quest and I use my fist of havoc in omnibus strike, kill 2 majors (one captian one knight) and a few thrall and dregs and generate... THREE STINKING ORBS!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT MAJORS GENERATED FOUR BUT I GOT THREW FROM KILLING TWO MAJORS, WHAT THE FRIGGEN HECK they needed fist of havoc orb production[/quote] [/spoiler]
[b]SNOWDOG X1[/b]:
[quote]QBB says it has 3 in the mag, but it clearly doesnt...[/quote]
[b]MONTAINYA[/b]:
[quote]Nerfed xur's heavy ammo package from 5 for 1sc to 3 for 1sc.... Wtf!!??!![/quote]
[b]REKCUTOR[/b]:(Vex mag glitch)
[spoiler][quote]Yah GG for -blam!-ing over pve you -blam!-tards. Shotguns suck and the vex only has a 3 shot mag really? -blam!- you guys, way to overdue the changes tell all the -blam!- boys down in the lab they got -blam!- boy of the year awards for nerfing the shit outta everything.[/quote] [/spoiler]
[b]BUFFEL SAFT[/b]:(Vex perk failures)
[spoiler][quote]Send It on the Vex Mythoclast reads "Increases range and accuracy. Harder to handle. Decreases carried ammo capacity." However, because of the way Fusion Rifle range and accuracy work, the shitty handling it adds [i]decreases[/i] both of these stats instead while also applying the penalties. It's not even a perk anymore.[/quote] [/spoiler]
