I asked this before (and maybe I missed the answer) but does bungie ever communicate about design choices, game balance or future updates anywhere on the regular? Something like Blizzard's blue forum posts. Their blog is kind of that I guess but really only deals with new content. More like consistent community feedback.

They irregularly lie about those things.

50 levels at least in crucible since longbow came back. Not a single one. I know that feel.

I'm convinced it's because it's the best looking of the sniper rifles. Too bad all of the good scopes on it look p. bad.

Overrated or not I'd still like to bolster my sniper collection with something that isn't a 1KYS. :/

Is this confirmed in the gamefiles? Doctrine/SSC feel like they fire 1100 or 1200 RPM to me.

900 RPM / 60 = 15 RPS

Headshot damage = 15

It takes ~200 to kill a person, so 200/15 = 13.34

13.34/15 = .89 seconds to kill which basically matches all the TTK charts that are out there for the doctrine class.

They don't want you to know how poo poo everything is running. It's really that simple. The amount of valid complaints they get now would be dwarfed by what they would get if everyone had hard numbers.

That's not really a valid excuse though. Everyone knows the networking is poo poo and they bitch about it constantly, trying to cover it up doesn't change anything.

Valve did the same thing with TF2 for some dumb reason. Made it close to 10 years showing the current ping on the player list, and then suddenly switched to color bars. What the gently caress guys. :iiam:

It sucks for people like you but casual mcgamerman doesn't know what the gently caress a ping or packet loss is, but they know green is good and red is bad.

Now, why it doesn't have some sort of toggle is the better question.

It's not valid, but it's true. They know the ping and packet loss, the game wouldn't work without it. But if they displayed it there would be no end to the complaining and those complaints would be backed up with hard data.

Imagine this:

but with that guys' 3 second ping right there on the screen. There isn't enough of the Greatest Generation left alive to sugar coat such epic garbage. It's like anything else, knowing is one thing, but seeing the hard data takes it to another level which in the case of video games is probably the level where people actually stop playing.

Do a simple cost-benefit analysis.

Benefit: A small fraction of the audience now feels more justified in their complaining and does it more. Nothing else changes

Cost: Nonzero

The full auto PDX with hilarious range would make for a decent PvE gun.

The LitC - Clown Cartridge roll on the Eirene would make for a good PvE sniper. Especially since it's Solar. Ammo reserves are kinda meh though and you should be swimming in 1KYS at this point.
