Fix is planned for Destiny 2 Update 2.2.1.

Hotfixes in particular hold high priority changes that either have low test wake, or we believe to be impacting large portions of the community. While we'd love to get every fix in that we're working on, we need to make sure they're tested thoroughly.

Rushing the change could result in side effects, such as Black Talon not blocking properly, or your exotic gauntlets only working for Black Talon and nothing else... or worst case scenario, your game crashing any time you tried to block! Not saying these things have happened in test, but crazy things can happen in the course of game development.

Team is looking into this - I believe the fix is planned for Update 2.2.1, which will be in a few weeks.

Will get information out when we have it.

Why didn’t the weekly stuff reset? New nightfalls? Refreshed milestones? Wtf?

Ohhh 1pm eastern, not 12pm.

Are you in an area that participates in Daylight Savings? Your weekly reset may be an hour later than expected.

EX: We're at a 10AM Reset on the West Coast now.

As noted in the TWAB:

Gambit Prime Synths

Shortly after the release of Gambit Prime, players began filling their inventory with Prime Armor Synths. Tentatively planned for Hotfix 2.2.0.2, players will be able exchange a stack of 5 Synths for 100 Glimmer with the Drifter. The intention of this isn’t to give players a means of acquiring large amounts of Glimmer, but strictly to help address inventory issues.

Re: Questions about Nightfall Handicap:

The team is currently developing a change to add more buttons. Expect the following in Destiny 2 Update 2.2.1 in a few weeks, but note that things may chance in the cource of development. Stay tuned for official patch notes when the change is live.

To increase:

  • +1 (as you have now)
  • +25
  • Power Handicap MAX

And to reduce:

  • -1
  • -25
  • Reset Power Handicap

As a reminder, handicap score multipliers do not apply until being at 100 handicap or higher.

Ah yes, running around with Atheon's Epilogue and some random fusion rifle that I dismantled immediately after completing the quest.

In early playtests at the studio, Prism proved to be more challenging than intended in higher Tiers of Reckoning and we planned to remove it in the first patch proactively. When we launched last week, we collected some fairly positive feedback with Prism and wanted to react quickly and remedy that change.

That's really cool they ended up listening and hearing our feedback like that and decided to keep Prism around.

Agreed. I was in the camp of removing prism, in that we received a lot of feedback at the launch of D2 in Nightfalls. A timed activity with a rotating modifier, etc etc.

Incredibly happy to be wrong, and it's great the team is taking the feedback and making this change.

This applies to Iron Banner currently.

Challenge is that Comp Crucible matches based on Glory. Team is aware of the feedback on matches within the playlist. Will give updates when I can.

Hey all,

Revision is going live to the TWAB concerning the Gambit Matchmaking section. This will now read as follows:

With the release of this very blog article, Gambit received some updates to matchmaking. Gambit is a team based activity and as such, players who are in a pre-made fireteam have a communication advantage. To offset that advantage, we've raised the internal skill rating of pre-made fireteams to pull in higher skill enemies to fight against. With this change, even as a solo player, you'll still have a chance. Plus, your other matched fireteam mates should be higher skilled as well.

Solo players of low skill should expect to match other solo players more frequently. Higher skill teams will also match teams more frequently.

Many apologies on this - had a miscommunication when writing up this section. While solo players of low skill should expect to match against teams less often, this does not apply to players o...

This week at Bungie, we restored the Thorn in your side.

If you can remember your first revive in Old Russia, other memories of Thorn may plague your nightmares from time to time. This week, those same nightmares returned in full force. If you’re a Guardian who’s new around these parts, get ready to feel the sting.

It’s a tricky thing, balancing game development. One QOL fix could eliminate 10 others due to the resources needed, or impact work on new content that’s coming. Not to mention, making the change may break a few other things, taking more developer time to fix the bugs and eliminating more changes that the community is asking for.

There may be a world where we aren’t able to allocate folks to make the change. If that’s the case, we’ll let you know. If we are able to address this, we’ll keep you updated too!

Many thanks to all that have been sounding off on this feedback item. Helps us to give a sense of how many players want the change.

Hey, please post a report to the Bungie.net Help Forum. That way we can snag some character data from your linked account. Helps with the investigation!

Hey all,

We’ve passed this feedback along to the team. Ultimately, this is much more than a single value that could be changed. There is development time and test wake that would occur - which needs to be prioritized against bug fixes and other feature development. (Think QOL for other features, or future AP content.)

Can’t make any promises, but folks are aware of this request. Will give updates when I can.

Hey all,

I have added this to the patch notes. There was no intention of a stealth nerf here. With each season, we increase the maximum power that players can achieve.

This was negating the challenge found in Nightfall activities, and we'd been receiving feedback as such. We are looking at further changes and tuning to the Five of Swords Challenge Card for a future update.

We are working with teams to ensure patch notes like this aren't missed moving forward.

From the Dev Team:

Hey Everyone, World Systems Team here to give you a quick update.

Today (3/5/19 - 2:15 PM Pacific), we've deployed a change to Destiny 2 that will re-tune the amount of Glory Rank points gained and lost in the competitive crucible playlist. Compared to previous seasons, Glory gains and losses have been effectively doubled. Our goal in this change is to make the ranked playlist more inviting to a larger amount of players. This means more access to pinnacle weapons, higher ranks, and more people to compete against at those higher ranks.

As always, we’ll be monitoring feedback over this change.

Thank you!
