Destiny 2 PvE players worried new Exotics might get over-nerfed because of PvP BungieThe prevalence of new Exotics in PvP introduced in The Final Shape has Destiny 2 players worried about the extent to which Bungie could nerf them in a future update. In the past, Bungie has flip-flopped on how it approaches balance changes. While it can and has made adjustments to specific items in the past that only affect a particular area of the sandbox \u2013 leaving them unchanged everywhere else \u2013 the Destiny developer has also done the exact opposite. That being the case, Guardians are uncertain about what form any future balance patches could take and have been voicing their worries on Reddit. In a thread drawing attention to the concerns, the author wrote, \u201cIt\u2019s wild seeing how something being broken in PvP makes PvE players incredibly scared,\u201d pointing out the inconsistency using Titan\u2019s Shoulder Charge ability as an example: \u201cWhen Shoulder Charge damage was an issue, they changed damage dealt to guardians without hurting PvE effectiveness,\u201d the post explained before continuing, \u201cHowever, when the issue was mobility in PvP, the way they chose to tackle the issue was to inflict a short cooldown by making Shoulder Charge consume a small bit of melee energy.\u201d Having Shoulder Charge use melee energy made it much harder to upkeep in PvE. This latter approach impacted how viable the ability was in both PvP and PvE, despite the nerf being targeted solely at PvP. Given this history, Guardians are scared the same approach will be taken with the dominant Speaker\u2019s Sight. \u201cJust look at Young Ahamkara Spine. An Exotic that was broken in PvP and decent in PvE, got nuked to be trash in both, came another response, adding \u201cPlayers are rightfully scared of the nerf hammer. Bungie doesn\u2019t use it like a scalpel, more like a blunt club.\u201d Notable PvP streamer GernaderJake has drawn attention to the incredible potency of Speaker\u2019s Sight in the Crucible when used in specific loadouts, claiming that Trials of Osiris will \u201cbecome completely unplayable\u201d if not addressed. Jake later stressed: \u201cI DO NOT want this nerfed in PvE,\u201d emphasizing the importance of keeping any future nerfs strictly to PvP. Bungie hasn\u2019t indicated that a balance patch is on the way for Destiny 2, though it does traditionally make sandbox changes multiple times per season, so players won\u2019t be waiting long to learn how everything shakes out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
