During the testing of the Strand grapple swinging, developers were dying all over the place from collisions and falling death.
It was then determined that they either change the way the grapple works, changing the vision of it, or [u]finally[/u] dealing with collision and fall damage.
But will they admit it? 🤔
Thoughts?

I didn’t watch the event, so I’m unsure of specifics, however that seems very plausible based on the info here. Especially with the history they had of collision issues back during D1. No go kill zones could also be a factor, but that’s probably more of a stretch.

Spidey man never dies from a fall or collision. He got bit by a nukie spidey. So he got spidey nuke strength. Never dies from a fall or collision. Gotta sell that thing called suspension of disbelief. So yeah, your son may be right.

The collision damage change is just one of a few things that Bungie copied from Halo Infinite.

That is a reasonable theory which I agree with and no they will not admit it. I can picture the dev team giving strand grappling a go and hearing the choruses of "Guardian Down" ringing around the office followed by "Ah, right hmmm, maybe collision needs to be looked at after all". Even in the recent TWAB that was showcasing the armour changes and mod possibilities there was a statement along the lines that guardians will probably come up with combinations we haven't thought of. On reading that I thought to myself that is a backhand way of saying that they don't think about interactions beyond much of a basic level. It's like they toss a big bucket of LEGO (Other brands of construction toy are available) out into the wild and see what gets built. That would be fine if only when something truly epic (Read , fun) is constructed they didn't jump on it and nerf it into the ground.

That had to be the turning point though for the Bungie employees when you think about it. They dog pile on Blizzard for their misconduct when they were equally guilty, that would piss me off to.

I think we all know Bungo don’t play test. They’re just adding a bunch of things to a list of “To be added during further seasons” for some good PR atm and then will be used for marketing to sell those seasons. Typical Bungo manipulation.

由CannyJack編輯: 2/11/2023 10:30:57 AMThat was my first thought. With this (weird) decision to go all Spiderpig, there’s gonna be a LOT more collisions and falls. They didn’t have much choice but to nix that sort of damage. They don’t have to admit it; there’s really no other pressing reason to make the change.

Good theory. I’m kind of not sure about the testing aspect as they usually leave that to us.
