Upcoming Health Regen Perk Corrections

There were some unintended changes applied to Health Regen Perks due to a change to Hungering Blade. You can read the [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/45661/7_Destiny-Hotfix---21417]full Patch Notes[/url] here and the further Explanation of what happened [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/222240682]here.[/url] In the last 3 days since the Hotfix we have been listening to the feedback from the community and been working on some corrections . Our current plan is to roll back most of the unintended changes like Ward of Dawn cast, and Embrace the void. You can read the full list of rollbacks below. The other affected Perks are getting different changes that the Sandbox design team believes will be more beneficial to the game rather than simply rolling back to the old settings. Here is Sandbox Designer Josh Hamrick with an explanation of the changes. [quote][b]Josh Hamrick[/b]: When we talked about Regen earlier in the week I ambiguously talked about what and when we would be making changes because I wasn’t entirely sure. The majority of the change wasn’t intentional, but when I looked at the problem from afar, I could see how it may be beneficial in some ways after hearing feedback from the community following the Sandbox preview stream. For example, some of you had concerns that Hungering Blade was changing while other similar perks, such as Cauterize, were not. This unintended change was going to give us the ability to see what that would look like to make both of those changes. I wanted to make it clear that it was possible that we could find something that we wanted to keep. I didn’t want to say that we’d put it all back, when we might not. Having an enemies ability or attack be able to completely erase any progress you've made and completely reset an encounter feels bad. Also, when 1 hit kill weapons are less dominant those abilities and attacks become more dominant, as they are much harder to stop. This change allows those abilities and attacks to still recover large portions of health and buy themselves more time without completely resetting the encounter and negating all cumulative damage that had come before. We have watched and listened all week and this is the current plan moving forward. I’m going to give numbers so that you have all the info, but [b][u]THESE NUMBERS MAY CHANGE:[/u][/b] For each of the elements below we are going to keep the change, but buff the amount of health you get back (+58%) - Hungering Blade - Red Death - Lifesteal - Transfusion (we are also removing the cooldown) - Cauterize (we are also removing the cooldown) For all the rest, we will be reverting the change entirely - Suros Regime - No Backup Plans - Ward of Dawn cast - Apotheosis Veil - Embrace the Void[/quote] We do not have a date that these changes will take place but are currently working on them and conducting tests. It is early in the process, so all of this is subject to change. But as of now, this is the plan. We will give you more details about when you can expect to see these changes in the game as soon as we can.

  • Hey, I have a few things to say to everyone on the forums. You all are here playing this game, giving them feedback, complaining, defending, whatever! Everyone from years 1 to now, you are all Guardians of the Last City, regardless of play time. I have a few thought and things to say based on the explosion of the forums. Bungee made this game, and are constantly testing it, reviewing feedback, monitoring combat, etc... for things like patches and updates. Listening to things you want. But remember, they made the game. Most of you don't know how hard it is to code. To write code and not have it affect other code is 99% impossible. That's why most of you are always complaining about something or other. I've been playing this game since HoW, and have loved everything about it. I've been through Thorn, 1k stare, MIDA, UV Remote, and now Matador and High RoF pulses. There will always be a meta, even if you don't like it. This game will not, nor can it be perfectly balanced. I wish you would realize that guys. Recently, people have been complai- I mean criticizing the effectiveness of shotguns and pulses. Bungee took note of this, and put pulses in a good place. High cal isn't as good now, and mag size is smaller. Think, they could've needed it into the ground like most previous metas. But they didn't! Also, for shotguns, they got nerds to aim assist and magnetism. Means you can't just blind fire, you have to actually aim now. You also can't drop on people anymore. Remember, you all complained about this. Be glad Bungie didn't need any weapons that didn't need it. Truth is still an excellent weapon, and has high Reload speed. I've used it since, and I think only tryhards of Osiris care about this. Also, there is a perk called Rocket Loader too. Special weapons can't be used as primaries anymore thankfully, now you guys actually need to use a primary! Bet you aren't used to using those since what, MIDA? Nah, Remote. It is a good change, but sidearm also need to lose all ammo except the spawn ammo as well to balance them. That's the only reason why they are so popular right now. SUROS Regime is seeing combat, something I haven't seen since year 1. Also, Hawknooon is coming back. Why are these changes bad? Now, I agree blink didn't really need anymore nerfs, nor did hungering blade/ everything eelse, but oh well. Nobody used half of the perks affected anyways, so why does it matter? When was the last time you used Red Death? The Ram? Transfusion? They didn't see much play anyways, if any at all. You wanted change, you got it and still complain. Please don't complain, and enjoy the game you play. If you don't like it, you aren't required to play it. Go play Overwatch, Rocket League, battlefield, CoD, whatever! Come back if they put some cool content in the game, or just when you wanna test the new "meta"! Bungie, I stand with you, now, and till 2024! Listen to the level headed people, not the mindless complainers! To anyone reading, have a great day! Enjoy the game, or don't! It's your choice, nobody needs to care you hate the game and aren't playing anymore (even though we know you're lying for leverage, you are playing) To all who say it's dead, say it too the millions playing weekly. All of the Guardians who love the game and spread the Light. Not the Guardians who are too full of anger to step back and think why they did this. Because you wanted change. You got it. Adapt.
