i_can_haz_opinions puts this into words pretty well over on the Reddit Forums (link at the bottom), but I already had my own suspicions after reading Cozmo's post (link also at the bottom), and i_can_haz_opinion's post only reaffirmed what I had already deduced. I believe that the changes to Health Regeneration were not a mistake by Bungie, and instead the uproar caused on stream when they showed the changes to Bladedancer made them shut up and turn a blind eye to avoid any further backlash from the community. They themselves admitted they had not shown everything on that stream, and these changes were probably part of that. Here's a quote from Josh Hamrick in Cozmo's post: [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...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.[/quote] Alright let's break this down. Josh Hamrick admits to knowing that all the Health Regeration perks were "broken" [b]before[/b] the patch was released. However, instead of fixing the problem, they decided to release the patch...to see how we would react to the problem? Wut. Does anybody else realize how absurd that is? This is equivalent to a baker making a cake, but right before he delivers it he realizes he accidentally switched the sugar with salt. However, instead of telling his client he screwed up, he goes and delivers the cake anyways saying, "Hey man, I screwed up pretty bad, this cake is gunna taste terrible, but I decided to not make another one for you unless you really hate it! Cheers!" This (to me) means one of two things: A: The sandbox team at Bungie is really freakin' stupid. or B: The sandbox team at Bungie thinks we're really freakin' stupid. Feel free to let me know what you think, but please try to keep the conversation civil. i_can_haz_opinions' post: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/5u3rhb/brief_history_of_bungie_statements_on_quality/ Cozmo's Post: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/222240682?sort=0&page=0
