In Destiny , many Guardians can hardly believe what Bungie has done with Patch 2.5.0.2. Additionally, another bug has already been discovered.
“WTF”, “Does Bungie even have any idea what they are doing!?” or “Destiny is dead” – such statements are currently everywhere in the Destiny subreddit.
These are reactions to the patch notes for update 2.5.0.2, which were published yesterday. Some new features of the update were presented in a livestream a week ago, where they were largely considered reasonable. However, some changes are now hidden in the patch notes that leave Guardians shaking their heads.
What has happened to the Truth?
Among the biggest topics of discussion are the nerf to the Truth and a new bug that was introduced with 2.5.0.2. Before the release, the developers discovered a bug with several perks that nearly led to a postponement of the update. However, Bungie wanted to stick to the release date, which is why this bug made it into the game. For many Guardians, this is incomprehensible – even though Bungie wants to wait for feedback and respond accordingly.
The magazine capacity of the Truth has been reduced from 3 to 1 – significantly weakening the exotic rocket launcher. On reddit and in our comments, the reaction is clear: “Why?” Now the rocket launcher is broken; no one asked for a nerf.
Furthermore, many players are dissatisfied with the special ammo changes or complain about the changes to grenades or their Guardian classes. Right now, it’s really difficult to hear positive voices. Among the few is our reader Cupid, who writes that the game feels faster to him now and he expected it to be worse given all the negative reactions.
Nevertheless, a clear picture emerges: the majority of players are dissatisfied with the patch. By now, the Crucible is not fun anymore. There is a demand for better communication between the Guardians and the developers.
Tracker is buggy
However, all the anger over the changes isn’t enough – another bug has already been found. It seems that the Tracker causes exactly the opposite of what it was supposed to do since the patch on shotguns. It was supposed to take 25% longer to aim with the shotgun with the perk, but now it takes less time with the perk. In other words, this was not a nerf but a buff. Here is a video about it:
What has your experience been like?
By now, the patch has been live for several hours and some of you have surely played a few matches. According to early reports, hand cannons and auto rifles are strong. But what is your opinion on this? Is patch 2.5.0.2 really the end of PvP in Destiny?
How Bungie will respond to all this criticism remains to be seen.
