Hungering Blade Clarification for Hotfix 2.5.0.2 Patch Notes

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… [/quote]

  • great job Bungie, you just destroyed another chunk of your fan base (including me). I've HAD IT, soooo tired of being forced to play "Bungie's" way because of NOT NEEDED NERFS. LET US PLAY HOW WE WANT and stop jamming these nerfs down our throats! Don't tell us "it's in everyone's best interest" when it clearly IS NOT!... I'm a day 1 veteran and I honestly feel that Bungie has started to cater to CHILDREN while giving veterans the shaft, example= a group of CHILDREN cry for a bladedancer nerf and bladedancer gets thrown in the trash can SEVERAL TIMES, while HUNDREDS of veterans say that titan subclasses need balancing and Bungie decides TO BUFF THEM out-right. EVERYONE knows kids tend to favor titans because "it's easier to play", FAVORITISM MUCH!... I AM absolutely done with this franchise for good and WILL NOT BE pre ordering the second title. Screw you Bungie and great job LISTENING to your true fans (sarcasm)...
