‘Destiny’ 1.03 Update Full Of Hidden Changes And Unintentional Nerfs

INQ: Bungie released the massive 2.22 GB to Destiny on Monday that made significant changes to the PlayStation and Xbox game. I detailed the announced changes in this Inquisitr article. However, players have dug in even further since the 1.03 update was released to find even more changes including new Crucible maps and Exotic gear. Unfortunately, some of those appear to be unintentional nerfs to some of the game’s Exotic weapons.

Interesting...

[Unspoken]

Yes, indeed. They need to keep the updates coming and continue to release free limited content as the end game is non existent.

[DarthZoolu]

Bungie is pissing so many people off, me included. They never fix the no brainer stuff. I bet minitors still regenerate health in Atheon fight. And how do you accidentally nerf the guns that need a buff the most. Also making it harder to solo nightfall before they make nightfall matchmaking? Dafuq!?!?

[Khimarhi]

@ DarthZoolu, well the problem was that it is often easier to solo NIghtfall then it is to play with others. That's why they needed to rebalance it for solo. But I agree they do need a matchmaking.

Best way to fix a game is to break a game...?

[MajorGecko]

wooo new crucible maps!!!! here i come free maps!!!

i welcome the nerfs i got sick of being 1 shotted by a golden gun by people who play the game to much

[CorndogBurglar]

what?

Anyone thats a Hunter can get the Golden Gun. Its one of their powers. Doesn't mean they play too much.

[MajorGecko]

i had no clue it shows how much i play haha im level 24 warlock tho

[n4rc]

Ya.. At least hunters need to aim for their super.. The other 2 classes have easy mode supers

[Unspoken]

Yeah, the hunters golden gun has an increased hit box meaning you barely have to do any aiming and it will auto hit. Add the skill which increases accuracy and you have guaranteed kills. Then you have bladedancer...

Basically both powers provide mobile super kills vs the other two classes which is typically confined to a limited area.

[DarthZoolu]

To many people post without a clue. typical.

[Father__Merrin]

its still in there, i went into a skirmish game again its just freaks running about doing fusion kills and sniper kills

[Drabent]

Thats it this game is limited garbage BUT a valued trade in 2night:p

[one2thr]

How much you get, in store credit?

Thinking about sacrificing my copy for GTA5

[MrZweistein]

Seems Aksor gets a little more challenging again ...

[SmielmaN]

No hiding under the platform anymore lol. Found that out today trying to do the weekly by myself lol. It was like "no, no! This is the first time I've actually tried to do this cheap trick by myself!" Haha. Oh well. Always thought it was lame anyways. I just wanted the bounty xp

[TheSaint]

Bungie have gone down some in my estimation since they released Destiny, it just feels half assed.

[Eejanaika]

yea destiny had way more potential. compared to mmo's where things should be standard features, destiny doesn't even have

[ramiuk1]

when Bungie was making Destiny its all i thought about alot of time,i was so looking forward to it.
but i think they really failed to deliver on it in manyways.

i was expecting like a planetside game but with less people and slightly smaller areas.
with loads of missions.

i hadnt even got to lvl 15 and i found myself repeating same strikes over and over again.

zero end game and it forced me to sell it because needing light and acc shards to lvl up was so boring after constant grind to be screwed with non leg items at cryptarc.

It could of been imo the best game on consoles for a long time but i think DLC killed it.

i honestly think it would of been better having a £1/2 a month subscription and constant things added free

[Maxor]

If Destiny IS a MMO then it would be awesome. The problem with Destiny is that it is a failed wannabe MMO. You get a sense that you're playing a MMO but you're missing all of the important features and that comes along with it. Overall the game feels like a total tease and a massive ripoff to boot. Out of all the games released this generation Destiny is the most epic fail of them all. The time and money that I spent in this game was a complete waste.

[TRGMatt]

My Pulse Rifle is pretty awesome, post patch.

[Clarence]

The need to make matchmaking for the nightfall. It's hard to get people together.

[Thomaticus]

As of today, if they announced a sequel to Destiny would you buy it?

Bungie needs to get this game together, because they're starting to ruin the entire IP. Yes it sold well "this time" but they've given the series a bad reputation.

[Maxor]

Destiny fooled people based on the marketing hype and Bungie's reputation. If they release Destiny 2 a year or two from now there will be a ton of skepticism. But more than likely we'll get a nextgen Borderland before that will simply crushes this franchise out of existence.

[BlackWolf12]

The sequel will probably be officially announced late next year. With a late 2016 release.

And millions of people will buy it.

Just because some scrubs on the internet talk trash, doesn't mean millions of people aren't enjoying it.

The most successful new IP of all time doesn't simply go away because of a new Borderlands or sequel.

In the grand scheme of things, Destiny as it stands today doesn't mean much. By the time the sequel is officially announced, the game will be much bigger, with much more things to do and most peoples complaints will be nullified.

[Ps4andxb1]

Exactly the same as wow.

Buffs and nerfs to control balance.

Seriously obvious stuff.

[aceloth]

I'm not convinced the nerf of icebreaker was "unintentional".

Right before the DLC comes out with new weapons...hmmm looks to me like more re-balancing.

Oh well - when developpers start pulling this kinda limited creative thinking at the player's expense, it's usually the time I start to check out...

I recieved a new sparrow after the update for being a "limited" buyer. The sparrow is a level 100 called "the tumbler", its a trick move sparrow. Haven't seen this mentioned in any update announcements.
