I guess they really didnt like bonk builds.

Some of this work is more for long term sustainability, not because of someone disliking bonk builds. Over the years we’ve seen melee builds stack on newer melee buffs, mods, exotics, etc leading to fairly easy 1-hit raid boss strategies. While we don’t necessarily have some crazy melee build in mind for next season, this helps to prevent future issues that lead to disabled Exotics and rushed fixes.

Somewhat comparable to the Telesto backend reword a few seasons ago. We’ll see if these changes hit the mark once they’re in your hands.

Concerning your note on timers, we can pass that along to the team. Thanks for the feedback!

Can I just let you know that the sounds of misfit/ether doctor are unlike anything else in this game, and the ONLY thing to come close to them is the new quicksilver storm. BRAVO on the sound for all three! Absolutely addictive, and again, so rare a sound even among all of the other autos or smgs.

More like these!! Please!!!

And also, we would love behind the scenes anything on sound design anything!! The sound is one of my favorite things about Destiny. I’d love to know more about how you construct these.

That's so much praise, thank you! I will seriously take that into consideration for Auto rifles!

gotcha! thank you so much for the info, you're awesome this is super useful

I've heard the sound he's talking about. I hear it when the grenades get prepped when you land multiple of the rockets. I haven't heard it when you shoot the grenades, just when they get prepped

By prepped you mean when you hold down for special reload and you do the animation? Or is it like a sound that just happens the moment your rocket lands, and the grenade prepped UI indicator goes to x1 or x2 or x3?

There is an audio bug with the gun when you prep grenades from shooting the primary mode. Sometimes (and to me it's almost everytime) the volume from the grenade prep is SUPER loud, like 50% more than anything in the game. It's a large "Cha Ching" sounds very sharp in the high end and noticeably louder than anything in the game at the same volume. It's very painful to someone with sensitive ears and I can't use the gun until it's fixed or without turning my volume way down. I have super sensitive hearing and a mild tinnitus I don't need that sound bug literally causing ringing in my ear as it has. I wouldn't consider this a small bug at all this has potential to damage consumers ears.

Would you say that it only happens when you do the special reload to switch to launcher mode? This is not the same sound from when a rocket hits the ground and it sounds really loud right?

That's so crazy I had never heard about this before! Sorry about your ears, I will look into it

Yes, /u/friendlybassplayer.

Tell us of the undoubtedly gigachad origins of this marvellous piece of nanotech. I feel like I'm shooting a battlemech autocannon. It's like what I'd imagine a Hakke rapid fire frame would sound like.

I need the catalyst in my life.

Thank you all for the love! It's really appreciated! I'll see about sharing some behind the scenes stuff about it through official channels one day!

I imagine it's a matter of bandwidth. The weapons team has to keep working forward on each new season's weapons, so they can probably only sneak in an extra project here and there.

Just my guess.

Pretty much this.

The goal isn't to drip feed, but rather to give some nice incentives to hop into older content. There will be new things to do at the same time (as it's a new season launch), but this can be a side-objective for some as they complete their quests through the season. "Ah, looks like I'm done with the story for this week. Want to hit DSC? Really want to get that Handcannon crafted!"

Team was excited to update these. Hell, I'm excited to see more LFG posts for DSC pop up. Hope y'all enjoy diving back in.

Sure they are, I totally have all the patterns unlocked for all the current and previous season guns. /s

This is to say that Deepsight weapons in general are too common - specifically deepsight versions of weapons you can't craft. As noted in the TWAB, new players can be overwhelmed with deepsight versions of numerous of guns that can't even be crafted.

Also noted in a bullet below that one, "Goal: Reduce bad luck in weapon recipe unlocking.
Strategy: Provide opportunities within the crafting system to allow users to deterministically choose what weapon to target. "

This sound is exactly the main reason I love this sniper. The second reason is how good it looks. I wouldn't mind a whole set of weapons like this.

I wouldn't mind a whole set of guns like this myself! Imagine a trace rifle

Known issue. Team is jamming on a fix, and we're looking to get the missing dust to any player who completed the bounty before the fix was issued.
