Yesterday I logged into Destiny and started to explore different Voidwalker builds and I found that Child of the Old Gods aspect is no longer working as intended and Vampirism is not providing ability energy (healing rift) or health (empowering rift).
There are a lot of different posts on this forum, Reddit and gaming press about this now so I created this as a single aggregated thread.
Please triage and fix this as soon as possible devs, please! An entire aspect for a subclass is now no longer working. This is far more serious than just an exotic, it’s game breaking for many players. Not sure if this bug was introduced when the Void related artifact mods were deployed but I think it might be related.
Summarizing from the Reddit thread the aspect description this is no longer working as intended:
[quote] When a target is being drained, you are granted grenade and melee energy (if running healing rift) or health (if running empowering rift).[/quote]
Note that class ability refund from killing affected targets still works but it’s the Vampirism that’s broken on both healing rifts.
Here are a list of all known mentions of this issue and if you posted those threads or articles please comment here.

Thank you for reporting this. I just want to add that it does not seem to be related to any any artifact mods since all of the issues above persist after resetting the artifact.
