We just launched [b]Hotfix 2.5.0.2[/b] which contains a Sandbox tuning pass and changes to the Crucible. If you want an in-depth exploration into some of these changes you can watch our [url=https://www.twitch.tv/videos/120721482]live fire demonstration here[/url]. For those interested in the bullet points we have the full [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/45661]Patch Notes[/url] up as well.
In the interest of full transparency, we do need to clarify something in this update. Our test team discovered that the changes to the Blade Dancer Perk Hungering Blade were being applied to several other Health Regen Perks. Here is a quote from Sandbox designer Josh Hamrick.
[quote]Over the last couple of days, as we continued to test the patch, it came to our attention that the changes we made to Hungering Blade were unintentionally shared among a number of additional elements (list below). While we considered delaying the hotfix to remove the shared change, we ultimately decided to live with the patch we’d made and tested. We believe that Hotfix 2.5.0.2 is an important step forward to maintain the health of the game and that getting it out to you ASAP is in everyone's best interest. And besides, no one wants to show up empty handed on Valentine’s day.
List of affected elements:
• Hungering Blade (Arc Hunter)
• Transfusion (Striker Titan)
• Cauterize (Sunbreaker Titan)
• Lifesteal (Voidwalker Warlock)
• Red Death perk
• Suros Legacy Perk (Suros Regime)
• No Backup Plans
• Ward of Dawn cast
• The Ram
• Apotheosis Veil
• Embrace the Void (Voidwalker Warlock)
Over the next couple of weeks, we will be diligently watching and listening to what you have to say about these changes. While we will be unsurprised if additional tweaks need to be made, we are honestly super interested to see how these changes, intended or not, play out. We will be relying on you to give us your feedback as you grow accustomed to the feel of the game over the next couple of weeks. We will also be with you ingame, playing along and making our own notes… Apparently, I have to redeem myself for my stream performance anyway.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a 1st date with a potential Skorri fix…

I'll start off positive. I've always been a fan of full auto weapons and revolvers. In year one, I used my legendary auto rifle For The People. It was an absolute beast. Then you guys messed up auto rifles, so handcannons were the meta. I deeply enjoyed dueling others with TLW, mostly using hip fire, and other handcannons. Update 2.0 comes along and "rebalances" weapons, only really nerfing handcannons because they were so dominant. Autos were left alone, aside for a range decrease. Because of the state of pulse rifles, mainly the Red Death archetype, they were the best choice. When they got nerfed, people used Grasp of Malok. Pretty much the only scout consistently used was MIDA. ROI comes in, with Clever Matador combo. That meta stuck for ages. Finally, this update is released, broken as it can be, with things the community didn't want. But one game dev had some time playing the game, and made A PERSONAL DECISION for the ENTIRE HOST OF PLAYERS. Ya know, you guys gave Truth a buff a LONG time ago, back when it had only one rocket in the chamber. Know what you did? INCREASED IT'S MAG SIZE TO 3!!! Because it only had ONE ROCKET!!! You guys really screwed up on this one. BTW the Iron Banner ghost has been solid white since Crota knows when. Lol like they're actually going to read this...
-
Well thanks for making the warlocks junk. Makes no sense... Take the most balanced class we had and "accidently" nerf it into the ground. You guys need to fix this crap quick or ill be shelfing destiny. I only ever played void walker... sun singer is already dead, haven't checked storm caller but with the intended nerfs and whatever accidental crap it might have gotten and I don't even want to look at it.
-
These are the fixes that the core group of players have been waiting for for 2 years, this finally takes out the shit that made it stupid to even try trials without a carry
-
So your saying you suddenly realized that your tried tested and passed for port fix was actualy broken but you thought sod it port it anyway Perhaps thats why the game never gets fixed properly Still love the game even though you killed the truth but had to say this
-
I'm pretty sad on Truth, it was the one RL that balanced the Hunter out, given that there is NO armor that grants heavy for the hunter. Having a 7 shooter with 3 in the clip made sense for the hunter. If you were so worried about the 3 shot clip, why not nerf Wolfpack rounds too. Oh yeah, and hunter grenades still suck compared to warlocks and titans.

4 RepliesLol damn this post is blowing up bungie you really screwed up with this one

5 RepliesStop nerfing stuff. JUST STOP! Buff something maybe once in a while. #YearOneWasBetter

Destiny -blam!-in sucks now. Before it was just a couple exotics that were worthless, now instead of making red death and suros usable again in PvP you destroyed those too. You may as well let players run as many exotics at once as they want because let's face it there no longer exotic status. Pve is dead in this game seeing as the only monthly activity is iron lagger and if I wanted to play a damn near strictly PvP game I would have stayed with call of duty, which I am more then likely going back to because you all obviously don't have the slightest damn clue on how to fix a game. You all deserve to be fired!

158 RepliesTo everyone at bungie, I apologize for all the children in these comments being rude to you and complaining so much. I myself totally understand that you listen to people complain about so many parts of the game all the time and you continue to try and give people what they want but so many people want different things. Personally, I like the health regeneration changes. I like the hand cannon changes. I like the auto rifle changes. I like the truth change. I'm unsure about pulse rifles, while no one will be using clever or grasp anymore, I'm hoping it doesn't end up being the hopscotch meta again. Everyone wants nerds/buffs to different things so that everything would be more even across the board and nothing would be over/under powered. I believe this patch gave us that. If arc blade regen was getting a nerf, the rest of the classes should too. So thank you bungie for continuing to work with us and change the game until we can all decide on something we like. And once again I am sorry that people are so rude and inconsiderate, and think that complaining will get them what they want. Sincerely, The first adult to comment on this post

I played a few matches an hour ago after a three week pause. - Literally no one killed me with a Shotgun or Sniper - A lot of diversity in Primaries - Every weapon I tested out (Parthian Shot, Suros Regime, Distant Star, Palindrome, The Waltz) felt nice and crispy - No visible lag Conclusion: Most guys here are real drama queens. It's MUCH MUCH better right now than a few days/weeks ago. Yes, some thinga are broken nd some nerfs were unnecessary. But that doesn't mean this patch is bad in general.
-
I don't see why people are just so TO off this. I don't even care that they needed my blink, my shotguns or my special. HECK I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE TILL I READ THE DARN THING! I still use my shotguns I think the nerf was great. I even agree with hungering blade! It is very hard when you are trash like me to kill people mid super and bow it is more balanced because blade dancer is so fast.

While we will be unsurprised if additional tweaks need to be made, we are honestly super interested to see how these changes, intended or not, play out. [/quote] Is this a joke? How is somebody NOT fired over this? For a company as big and as much history in gaming as Bungie, YOU, has - this is absolutely unacceptable. Not as a consumer, but as a professional who also works in a creative field. If I ever EVER sent a project to a client with a note attached to the VERY end of my final email saying to the effect of "oh btw, the video I edited has random black holes in it, and instead of fixing it and giving it to you a day late, I want to see how you ENJOY this. It's an inadvertent edit. kbye!", my head would be on a stick. In my eyes, the fact that you let your only property be boy-handled this way is egregious and casts serious doubt on your credibility as devs. But I'm just a fat kid in a room. You may see that as an over-reaction from a probably-too-emotionally-invested player, and that's even worse. I'm SO glad I picked up Titanfall 2 when i did a few weeks because Bungie is turning into a joke.

Cosmo and Bungie. I spend a lot of time defending you on these posts the changes you make from listening to the community and the large amount of money I have spent on this game over the past three years. And while I'm sure you don't need my two cents added to what's already said, this patch and the way it was done is ridiculous. Let's define that word. Ridiculous: arousing or deserving of ridicule, extremely silly or unreasonable. With synonyms like absurd and preposterous. I think that pretty much defines the way this patch was put out. I cannot believe you would let these unintended changes go out Get your act together Bungie
-
Way to fúck things up again. This is what happens when fúck with things no one asked you to. I would say that I hope it's fixed soon, but with how bad this new patch is (30% asked for or good - 70% WTF were thinking) my hopes for a balanced game are fading fast.

2 RepliesStop bitching people patch has been out for a day. Just because what you want to be op isn't find something new to use. Play the game or leave just less of you for me to shit on..

I'm having a grand time watching the community you ditched everyone for turn on you. Was it worth it? Is Reddit giving you a safe space still? Bwahahaha! I hope Destiny 2 flops and you all are exposed for the asshats you all are! If you continue to piss on people, no matter how dumb they are, will eventually figure out it's not rain. Enjoy the backlash!
-
Hahahahahshshhshhshshahahsggahahaga so you nerfed something that didn't need to be nerfed and you broke everything else. Well done. WEll done

Well as youve already read ultimate disappointment and we arnt dumb. Either a you have a scrub dev team or your lieing enough said😔😔😔

[quote] Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a 1st date with a potential Skorri fix… [/quote] omg you now know what skorri is!

Red Death is gonna be even worse now. I'm very disappointed Bungie. Very disappointed.
-
On the bright side, it looks like Skorri's is getting a much needed fix.
-
Okay wtf... That didn't explain anything! All that told us was a list of stuff that got screwed over and a lie saying you watched and listened dearly to us. In truth, you obliterated shotguns(which was fine but a fairly over the top), totally -blam!-ed truth over, ruined almost any chance of gaining health back in crucible other than running for our lives, and screwed over two thirds of our primaries. Now instead of running from shotguns, we get gunned down by endless waves of bullets thanks to our newly over powered auto rifle friends. This may sound like I'm jumping from one meta to the next, but is it really that hard to even out everything? for once I like what call of duty has with their guns over yours. 99% of their guns have fixed ranges meant for specific scenarios that you had to chance on the battle field. In my personal experience Destiny has become the complete opposite.

1 ReplyThe meta is how scrubs play the game. Long range primaries and don't push

Hey I know you're getting allot of hate and all, but where's Valentines.... anything, all we got was doubles being the daily Crucible match. I just want a new Valentines shader and emblem. Have a nice day

I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your game gave me cancer anyway.
