In the MMO shooter Destiny a hotfix will be deployed today, September 24th. It will probably address the Black Spindle.
This morning we already announced that Bungie plans to reduce the “Black Spindle” by about 20 points of attack damage. It seems to be coming sooner than expected.
A hotfix has now been announced: What exactly it does has not yet been said, but it seems logical that it will take care of the Black Spindle.
The “problem” is that you can take the Black Spindle out of the weapon designs to immediately strengthen another special weapon with it. This can be repeated indefinitely. The Black Spindle has an attack value of 300 when taken out of the designs, while items from the designs normally only have 280. With strong weapons in terms of attack value, you can “infuse” weaker ones, thus strengthening them. The stronger weapon is consumed in the process.
Whether the hotfix really addresses the Black Spindle is still unknown at the moment, but it seems likely.
More details should be provided in the Weekly Update, the letter from Bungie to the community. Maybe some things will still change, it’s hard to say. Another candidate would definitely be the “Three of Coins” and its functionality. It already allowed players in the last week to stock up on a lot of exotic items. Bungie has already hinted that they consider the bonus to the drop chance to be too high.
And in the decoding of exotic engrams, not everything is going right, at least some evidence suggests that.
The hotfix will not interrupt gameplay, but players may be required to log in again if they are in orbit. We will keep you updated on the hotfix.
Update: It seems that they want to address the issues with rewards for veterans in Year 1 – concerning the Triumph emblem. Golden chests were not counted. A fix is likely on the agenda.
This is what Patch 2.0.0.4 will do on September 24 in Destiny
There is no info on the Black Spindle.
The hotfix 2.0.0.4:
- fixes the issue with “Moments of Triumph”, where golden chests should now count as planned
- alters the “Three of Coins” from Xur, so that the bonus is now lower if ultras are defeated in quick succession, if more time is left between kills (for example, with strike bosses), they will function as before – clear fix for last week’s exo farm method
- ensures that some treasure chests in the tomb ship can now be looted at a location only once per spawn (this is likely a fix for the method where chests could be opened twice by a guardian if they switch zones quickly enough)
- allows strikes from year 1 to now drop green and blue items, as a bug has been fixed
- changes the dismantling of fully upgraded exotics. It now has lower chances of giving two exotic shards
- fixes issues with two quests, in “High Value Targets” there are now legendary marks and the “Reach Level 40 Quest” should now also be displayed to those reaching level 40 before handing in the quest step “Reach Level 30” quest
The next major patch is set to arrive in October and will fix quite a bit, also bringing new developments in Year 2. They are looking forward to introducing these.
