I played some IB for the first time about 6 months and it was fun. Less SBMM and the lag was almost non-existent for me. I played as a Warlock and I was just demolishing folks, Stormcaller in particular. Damn, that class is so OP.
I am looking forward to whatever sandbox changes they make.

Nearly all the ones they picked are "fan favourites" so they all have their champions.
I was always a big fan of TDYK and the swarm (a slow but high impact heavy) in void. Those two guns got me through VoG on several occasions!
I too think it sucks that you have to get them to drop again...but hey ho. Vanguard and Crucible are the slowest to level up (because you cannot "spam" them with heavy ammo/motes like the factions0 so trying to get the gun you want will be a real PITA.

I'm guessing Auto rifles see another small buff, Black Spindle gets a small damage nerf and Fusion rifles are nerfed yet again for some unfathomable reason.

Winner! My love is back. Though I wish they would bring Hard Light and Necrochasm to Y2. They fixed the guns literally one week before TTK was released then...

Hard Light is in Y2 already and it's pretty good.
The Vex Mythoclast and Necrochasm need to be in Y2 though

I doubt high rof autos will get anything but a nerf sadly thanks (mostly) to the recent Doctrine craze. Slower ones might just see a buff though which would be great. I just want Crucible drop rates to improve. They have been abysmal for waaaay too long.

Here they go messing with Warlocks.
Hunters, you'll be next.
These developers have no fucking idea how to balance their game.

Warlocks need some buffs and nerfs depending on the class dude.
How about you just wait and reserve your judgement for the actual balance changes?
If you think sunsingers are balanced you're just plain wrong.

Bungie sucks at balancing. Their track record is enough to be wary.
My wishlist for crucible that won't come true:
- Buff handcannons back to it's Y1 glory.
- Restored back Hawkmoon's range.
- Nerf The Last Word. This gun totally invalidates other
- Nerf Thorn.
- Buff high impact auto rifles.
- Don't nerf high RoF auto rifles.
- Remove Rangefinder from high impact shotguns.
- Nerf viking funeral warlocks.
- Buff sidearms to be more viable.
- Buff handcannons back to it's Y1 glory.
- Restored back Hawkmoon's range.
- Nerf The Last Word. This gun totally invalidates other
- Nerf Thorn.
- Buff high impact auto rifles.
- Don't nerf high RoF auto rifles.
- Remove Rangefinder from high impact shotguns.
- Nerf viking funeral warlocks.
- Buff sidearms to be more viable.
Because their internal sandbox testing isn't to be trusted. When they buff handcannons,they nerf Hawkmoon range citing it was performing better than the other handcannons. Turn out Hawkmoon became utter shit that even it's younger legendary counterpart the Eyasluna outpeform it. What about fusion rifles? Time and time again players have been crying out to buff it because it was crap but Bungie continued to nerf it, the 'infusion rifle', 'nerf fusion rifles' joke was proof. Lets not forget the 0.04% autorifle buff.

Yeah Crucible drops are laughably bad. Bungie has to be aware of this after the Crimson Days disaster, so hopefully we'll hear about that today.

Because nothing ever good comes with their "balance" updates. They keep changing the meta and fuck shit up for users that play PVE which POSES NO PROBLEMS TO THESE RESPECTIVE CLASSES AND WEAPONS.
All these people bitching on nerfs are people who play PVP and PVE players are the ones who get fucked in the end.

They are aware of every issue from day one that never got fixed or terribly fixed or are working as intended or got fixed by nerfing 0.17% their firerate.
0.17% nerf of a firerate in a 30fps game. With a time to kill of a second. Do the math.

They are absolutely balanced. The ONLY thing they need to tone down in Radiant Skin.

A lot of stuff if they intended to do anything about they would have taken care of a long time ago. Crucible drops being bad is the status quo
Fire bolt grenades with Viking funeral and touch of flame are absolutely balanced...oh and so is an instant overshield with a melee hit (not kill, just a HIT). Luckily the warlock melee range isn't long. /s
Backlog? What about near-futurelog? May is insanity & madness in one.
Glad I (finally) deleted Destiny after 200+ hours.

Does anyone know what the new Trial's emblem will be since the old one is going away?

PVP balancing shouldn't affect the PVE-side though. It's nice to feel overpowered, and I hope they don't nerf the class for PVE.

"More rewarding"
I just really don't believe that anymore.

No sprint revives
Revives takes a bit longer if you'er using Alpha Lupi or the Warlock's fast revive exotic helm
Overshield from reviving and being revived is less powerful now
Need to be a bit more closer to revive
Additional 2 seconds to revive timer for Trials. If you die again, it's an additional 7 seconds. 1st death = 5 seconds, 2nd = 7 seconds, 3rd = 14 seconds (this is in a single round)

Sounds like they finally figured out this whole lawn sprinkler thing, eh?
Wow, crazy.
But why?
Mercury Chest will now drop armor and weapons with light level up to 335
Trials bounties may reward you with weapons/armor up to 330
Guaranteed Iron Banner artifacts and ghosts from rank 3 and 5 packages are now 320
Iron Banner bounty that requires you to complete a match with 2500 points will now require you get 1500 and a match completion to complete the bounty
