I'm going to keep this brief. I don't usually post or give feedback, I'm a fairly laid-back player who doesn't generally care what happens - I'll roll with the punches. I've enjoyed this game since the launch of Beyond Light and seen the rise and fall of many exotics - but none have been so thoroughly gutted as my baby, Mk.44 Stand Asides. My video speaks for itself - if you want to see why the exotic was just fine before, go right ahead and watch. I won't bore you with that here. Bungie, as perhaps the only Mk.44 Stand Asides main left on this planet, please...just give us back the old Stand Asides. Your changes to this exotic were the most tone deaf thing I've ever heard, and I've never seen you so thoroughly desecrate and murder an exotic as you did this one. I've even tried the new Mk.44 Stand Asides, to give them a chance. Maybe I'm being too harsh, maybe I didn't give them a fair shot. Mk.44 Stand Asides pre-rework [b]took me to Ascendant[/b]. Mk.44 Stand Asides now [b]could not get me through a singular Trials card[/b], much less survive the horrors of competitive. I'm probably the only person who even cares about this exotic, and that's fine. I'm giving feedback, as is intended by this forum - so maybe, just maybe, whoever is in charge of these changes can see that the Mk.44 Stand Asides change [b]did not pan out[/b], [u][b]did not understand the exotic's identity at a core level[/b][/u], and [b]needs reverted[/b]. Thank you for reading.
