That's hilarious. Apparently, there's also a glitch that lets you earn rewards that were intended for buyers of a $10 book or something

Lazy devs strike again
The big issue is that any adjustments because of PVP impacts PVE. I don't believe the way the perks are setup now lends itself to a true weapon balance.

I dont know about that. The PvE gameplay is still superb and better than your Halos, CoD and Battlefields. I left Destiny dejected when the first DLC came out and yet came back when they promised to fix all problems in TTK.
And while they only fixed a few of those problems, I am glad I came back. And i will likely come back again next year. At least three of my friends did the same thing. I am sure millions others will as well.
They need to do what guild wars and other mmorpgs do and that's create guns for PvP or have different stats/perks for each gun when used in PvP

Disastrous, disheartening, disappointing.
I can't believe people would actually pay $10 for what is in the book. Racing league gear that won't be really useable in game after the event is over. Seems weird. Destiny is getting this premium F2P game feel going on with it lately.
I'll make you this promise. Destiny 2 will SELL a minimum of 5 million units its first month. My personal opinion is it will open with 10 million. Why? It has huge IP recognition and Destiny 2 will have been in development for 3 years with no worries about old gen slowing development down.
I fully expect Destiny 2 to set records and review much higher than destiny 1. Bungie is obviously all in on Destiny 2 right now with the way they are treating Destiny 1.
Destiny.

Subscribing for later, after the BWU is posted.
Agreed. I do think that Deej gets too much flack for his updates though. He is only doing exactly what his bosses want him to do. If it wasn't intentional, he would have been let go or ordered to write differently.
The condescending attitude is coming from Bungie.

Short version we had a weapon balancing patch yesterday, one of the changes was high rate of fire ARs were going to get a 4% buff. Once it was out in the wild people were noticing zero difference in damage output.
Jon Wiesneski put out a tweet tonight saying the AR buff was working, then another tweet changing the patch notes to 0.04% then another claiming it was a typo despite giving the 4% number several times before. They also changed all the other buffs/nerfs which are in the OP but even they don't tally up with what we're seeing
look...

They've done this numerous times before sometimes multiple screw ups in 1 patch.
Welcome to hell.

Communication has alway been poor but this is a real low point. Time to delete Destiny and never look back. Bungie seem like they're working hard to make me regret the time I put into that game. Just really embarrassing stuff. The worst part is there are bugs introduced in the 2.0 patch that still aren't fixed (firefly crashing the game for example). Make no mistake, many of the bugs in this patch will never be fixed and the ones that are wont be fixed in any reasonable timeframe,
I hope this isn't leading to another patch. Ever since TTK some people have been forced to download the entire 18GB TTK update just to get each new patch that followed it. This has been a known issues for months and Bungie has been no help to anyone except ISPs with bandwidth caps.

"We're not wrong, the players are wrong."
It's still hard to believe Bungie went from being one of my favorite developers to being this.
The typo isn't why people are frustrated.
No one is upset over a typo. The issue is that Bungie is saying it was their intention all along.
The patch only went live yesterday. The November 19th page was just a preview for the changes that were coming in this patch.

Surely if they were the original numbers and 4% etc was wrong SOMEONE at bungie would have read the announcement and gone "hang on a sec, someone messed up this announcement".
Nope.
Nope.

Oh shit the game police are here!
Only Destiny could make people have total meltdowns over a typo and/or <10% changes to damage values.
