Apparently I am, too? (Destiny)

I played easily 100 hours since the dawning came out and never once saw that emblem. Then logged in today for just one match and got it. I assumed it was new.

Are you sure the patch hasn't hit yet? Destiny downloaded a patch when I launched it and the special ammo rules changes certainly seemed to be in effect (unless every player in the game was intentionally practicing only using special in the life they picked it up during).

Tell us again about how you're an expert at testing methodology, Last week you were blathering about worst case scenarios being most likely solutions and about Bungie's corporate culture being a hinderance and inferring things about Destiny's weapons and codebase that we absolutely did not have enough data to infer...

Now you post a first person account of changes that had not happened and wouldn't for another ten hours. You didn't check or notice if shotguns were doing critical damage. You didn't do the simple test of walking up to a Special Ammo box to see if it was on a three minute timer or a thirty second one. So yeah, expert, tell us about FOS PvP balance again. Tell us about Bungie's metrics only approach to balancing. Tell us about the way their networking works and why it is bad. Or rather, don't.

I think you're full of it. I think you have an agenda that Destiny is bad and Bungie's is incompetent when almost every time what you say fails to match up to known data and careful observation.

Which games did you balance again? What was your actual position? Were you brought in on a weekend or did you actually do something more that normal play testing and feedback?

And do you have any proof of your claims?

P.S. I checked. There was no Destiny update this morning. And Soecial Ammo is still on the three minute timer. So yes, we're sure the update has not happened yet.
