Patch Note Preview: Destiny 2 Hotfix 2.8.1.1.

This Wednesday, April 29, we’re planning to release Destiny 2 Hotfix 2.8.1.1. This patch will have fixes for bugs that have popped recently, and also has a quick tuning pass for a weapon that’s been shining a little too bright in the Crucible since Season of the Worthy began. Hard Light, a name that may either strike fear or pure joy in your heart, will be the subject of today’s article. Here are some notes from the team on how this weapon will be tuned come tomorrow morning: [quote][b]Dev Team: [/b]Hard Light has been at the forefront due to a combination of recent adjustments to improve its usability and the adjustments to Auto Rifles that came with patch 2.8.0. Most of the adjustments coming on Wednesday are to address its usage for mouse and keyboard users since the ability to precisely aim regardless of range allows you to use the weapon at longer distances, on top of being able to use ricochets more effectively. Although weapons like the Fighting Lion can also do what Hard Light does for indirect fire, they are generally less effective during a direct confrontation. Hard Light boasts a lot of great stats, and its impact grows with more players using it - eventually no cover is safe. As such, we’re reducing some of the aspects that allow for indirect fire and unexpected lethality in odd scenarios, while still retaining some of the bonuses to keep the flavor. Hard Light - Hard Light's damage falloff now floors at 0.7x (Auto Rifles use 0.5x standard). - Split ricochet bonus damage between PvE and PvP. -- PvE damage remains at 2.0x damage. -- PvP damage is now 1.35x damage. - Removed a hidden recoil adjustment that made the weapon more stable than intended.[/quote] Stay tuned to Bungie.net for official patch notes, and @BungieHelp on Twitter for updates on our release timeline.

  • Players have been asking for an auto delete blues slider for over a year. Why have you Been ignoring them? So many blues drop that players have to pause their session just to go delete blues. It’s getting pretty oppressive

  • Boycotting Destiny To all players who feel that their voices are not heard Let’s boycott this game to make a stand. I’m a player who feels cheated and wants to make a stand for my money’s worth. Let’s take stand by quitting the game for 24 hours. Calling all those who feel betrayed. DM to share the date.

        • Fire your game designers and get new ones or put more people in their position, it is obvious they are out of touch with the Destiny game after their shitshow called Seraph towers. Or I got a better idea, since your company makes so much money off of Eververse why not cancel that Chinese IP of a 100 million dollars, because in a way you;re saying you hate Destiny 2 and rather work on something else with full effort vs minimal effort on Destiny 2.

        • I don't think an hard light nerf was necessary.. At least, not a SO HARD nerf. Hard light is the kind of weapon that makes people with worse aim able to have a chance against people with better aim. For instance, hard light was a very good weapon against hand cannon masters, and it was a great place for it in pvp. Aim is not everything, if you're strategically clever you can outplay whatever hard light camper or hand cannon master, the game in survival at 4500+ is being GOOD at positioning rather than being good at SHOOTING. Good positioning is the key to outplay the enemy team, an hard light nerf was UNNECESSARY in my opinion. At least, I would understand reducing the damage falloff as you did (since in BIGGER maps you should give a reason to use something which is not hard light), but there was no reason to nerf the whole other things about it. Please, keep in mind that nerfing a weapon should just give it a SLIGHT disadvantage compared to how it previously was: nerfing damage falloff, accuracy and stability just DESTROYS a weapon, because when you come back using it you feel it's so bad compared to how it was before that you just change the weapon. As a side note, I hope you noticed that scout rifles just disappeared since auto rifles buffs. Perhaps it's a good time to BUFF scout rifles rather than nerfing something else.

          • Ok but can the devs bring Hand cannon's range the way it was ??? Hand Cannons are not supposed to be on the same range as FusionRifles. Disable power level inside of PVP. There u do us a favor and fixe the game = everybody happy

            • Once again PC is affecting console, why can’t these patches be made separate. I’m over things getting nerfed because of PC. ARs have been rubbish for so long, and now that they are actually viable you want to nerf. Yes I know it’s just hard light, but I remember a time when exotics were actually good, and you know Exotic. What ever happened to things dominating for a season, oh yeah the failure that is trials returned. What worries me more is that Bungie will start nerfing all ARs, you already see all the salty posts about nerfing all ARs in general. It became evident a long time ago we just can’t have nice things in this game anymore

              • Please fix this horrible bounty hunter game. Im sick of sweats joining D1 raids again.

                • I will not claim that this is an idea of my own but I wish to share this anyway. Concerning guardian games, I believe that next time your team needs to make hefty changes. When we think guardian games, we would think the Olympic games. The activities would be our hosted destinations for the day or the week and have us do the activities such as EP... Let's see which class can get the most kills per run or something... Or let's see which class can do a strike faster... Right now it's structured with the bounties and these bounties are ability based. I don't think that was the right approach. I believe that the bounties should have been more general and team based. [b]Suggestion[/b]: [i]make bounties more general and fireteam based[/i] Here we are trying to represent our favorite class yet it seems to me that there is one class that has a better toolkit than the other three....so why not just take the path of least resistance? Making an exotic tied to triumphs is fine but don't allow players to exploit it by doing it on all 3 characters. It's antithetical to the spirit of the games to play with all three is the whole point is for you to represent your favorite class. [b]Suggestion[/b]: [i]lock the player to a class for the duration of the games. [/i] Make medals expire week to week or day to day depending on how long a specific activity lasts. "Sandbagging" isn't very sportsmanlike. Seeing your team way ahead in progress only to stow yours away for a rainy day isn't competetive at all. [b]Suggestion[/b]: Erase medals when the newest cycle of activities drop. Please do not tell players one class is weighed more/less than others. [b]Suggestion[/b]: [i]less is more[/i]. Preventing a tidal wave of hunter participation ended up just shifting to Titans because of the above issues. I hope to see GGs again. I [i][b]did[/b][/i] participate a bit but I'm not interested as much in seeing it through. I don't see the spirit of competition just yet. I know you guys break up projects with other teams and they pop off season to season...please have better foresight. We all play in patterns, it's fairly easy to deduce how players will behave with things you give out. That's about it from me. Thanks!

                    the pvp nerf sounds fine, remind me why the pve stats are nerfed as well? was hard light a meta in pve? It has to be right? or it's so humanly impossible to separate stats between PVP and pve

                    You fix something that doesn't need to be fixed, and ignore areas where you need to fix. Bungie get your problems sorted rather than knee jerk reaction Have you heard of the term pareto? Obviously not as hard light will not be the top of the list Keep going with this mentality and you are guaranteed to kill the game, an exotic is supposed to be infamous not a legendary, Thorn was infamous and its outshone by Not Fortgotten which is a LEGENDARY

                      Not like this will get anywhere but I say we just completely start over from the beginning. I remember the feeling of first playing Destiny, I felt I was making a change in the universe we were fighting to protect. Stopping Atheon, Crota, even Oryx and Aksis; the feeling of beating those "gods" really drove my feelings for the rest of the franchise. And then Destiny 2 came out (oh boy), at first it was fun but then it slowly started to go downhill and all you guys did was try to add things to make it better but it was only worse. From crucible to strikes this game ruined almost all the love I had for the franchise. I will say this though, ya Destiny 1 had its issues but... can we just agree that they were never this bad. Back then it was like they actually listened and.... now they only care what big time streamers care for or what they think could be a good addition. Destiny is about building legend and becoming a hero for the last city, I don't recall ever hearing any lore about a guardian who just ran around doing bounties for weapon materials or bright dust. So I will say this one more time, either turn the clock and revamp/restart Destiny 2 or just bring Destiny 1 to PC and maybe give a remaster if possible on your end. If that is to ever happen allow our old gear to be saved and we have to do certain things to get them back. Your company made the first 3 and possibly the best 3 Halo games imo, so I think this can possible for you to do. Shut the game down for a bit and really think about what you're adding and then ask yourself "will the community like this long term or will they play it and then stop?" Don't rush your content unless you know deep down it'll be good...or not. Sorry for this being long and sorry for it making little sense and jumping all around but tbh I put some heart into this, but at the samw time I really could care less for Destiny 2 right because it's just ruined. So I really hope you read this and really think about some things for the future. P.S. If Destiny 3 is ever gonna be a thing don't rush it. I don't care if it comes out in 2040 or something, I just want a game that shows that the developers put a lot of thought into instead of just adding things they think is cool.

                    • Maybe I'm slow on the uptake, maybe it's just because I've not logged in much this week.. has there been a stealth nerf to bounties? Suddenly I can only collect 26! So wait.. this game has increased its dependence on bounties but made it so we can't carry as many? Seriously? Piss off!

                        • Problems with destiny 2 are as follows: The community is absolute trash at the game, and everyone seems to overlook this big problem. The matchmaking for activities that are difficult is absolutely insanity.. the players you will match with aren’t good at the game, causing player fatigue and frustration when you’re trying to accomplish something. Bungie created this problem rating the game T for teen, and now being free to play, any 10 year old with an internet connection can hop on any time, free to ruin my strike or forge run, because they can’t grasp the concept of how this game should be played. The compounding problem is all of the new bounties are designed to “ play a certain way “ and it needs to end. Bounties should be fun, additional ways to gain experience that we enjoy doing. Do not over correct and remove bounties, just make them less strict and more about natural progression with some skill modifiers. Example: complete 2 crucible matches ( any one can do this ), but then have a skill bounty that offers more reward such as : achieve a KDA of 1.5 in 3 straight matches.. See the difference ? Be creative, no one wants to get laurels playing inefficiently, having no fun, and on top of that, dealing with the scrubs that play this game. Now that I Explained bounties, let’s move on to modifiers. No one wants to play strikes with arach modifier that makes it so you can’t run or jump after killing an enemy .. I mean how ridiculous of an idea, you’re making the game NOT fun on purpose, and claiming that it’s for difficulty? No, make the game difficult by level design.. stop the artificial difficulty. People play your game for fun, and to waste time. This game is a time dump, and right now more than ever we need it. The game shines in areas of building your character, chasing elite weapons and armor, and using all of that to beat the challenges. Focus on that. We need weekly refreshes to all vendors with new rolls, just as d1 had. These little things is what makes the game replayable. mmos aren’t balanced, there are always winners and losers. Some players get everything others get nothing. That is what makes the game fun, having a way to start small, and build to a complete bad ass. The tower should be about people socializing and showing off what can be achieved, inspiring new guardians, repeating the cycle. This is what d1 was, but now the tower is just a place to collect bounties. Bring back the mystical feeling destiny gave players...you need to stop all of the other nonsense and focus on this. Forget events, forget bungie live play, forget it all, and focus everything on reviving your game. You have a good foundation now build on it. Stop prioritizing the cash shop, and prioritize in game loot. Short term you will lose some profits, but long term you’ll gain. Just try it..
