The February weapon balance has only been in effect for less than two weeks and bungie is already reacting to the community with some upcoming fixes!
Bungie’s Senior Designer Josh Hamrick mentioned in the weekly update that there are preliminary plans to address the feedback from the community.
What we know for now is that they are going to fix issues with SideArms, Memory of Skorri,
Truth , no land beyond and Blink.
- So with the Sidearms, bungie acknowledged the rise or sidearms with the ability to spawn with ammo and to store this along the way even upon death. Their plan is to tweak this a bit so that you still spawn ammo in the match , but you will only respawn with a small set amount of ammo post-death.
I like this change but I still think that is not enough, if you are going to nerf special ammo you should do this across the board. It is not balanced when a weapon type is favored because some rule in the system does not apply to it. Hopefully with this change we will see more diversity in special weapons.
2. Memory of Skorri, the support artifact that accelerate super energy for your teammates when your super is full. For those who do not know it this is currently being abused in trials of osiris, where guardians just camp in a corner and wait until the super of all teammates are charged up before making a push.
Bungie is planning to fix this by making the skorri’s unique ability work only after a kill, and this will last for 60 seconds. Once the timer runs out you will need to have another kill for this artifact to work again, so this is an elegant solution that should motivate guardians to engage in the battlefield. And this solution should also work for Pve, I dont think we will have any problems with not killing any enemy in pve for at least 60 seconds.
So I am very supportive of this change to the Memory of Skorri
3. Truth, This was quite a shocker when it was announced that this got nerfed, without any real reason for it. So if you forgot about it , the truth got nerfed in the mag size which now holds only one rocket instead of three before.
So bungie heard us loud and clear, and they are going to give us back one more rocket so it will hold 2, and they are going to bump up the reload speed to max levels.
Preferably I want Bungie to roll back all the changes to the truth, but I can see why they are doing this. They want to nerf it a bit , so that other Rocket launchers are a viable option as well. So I will give this fix a pass, but I am still not happy about it.
4. The No Land Beyond, or also known as the no flinch beyond. So to fix this , guess what ? Surprise, they are going to add flinch to this gun so it has the same flinch patterns as a normal sniper. And that is a good thing, a sniper should behave like a sniper so it should have the flinch. I have nothing to add to that.
5. The changes to Blink will be rolled back a bit, in order to make the nerfs less severe they will remove the old recovery nerf entirely and they are looking into reducing the time a bit that you are HUDless after blinking.
Next to blink they are also going to roll back some unintended changes with their nerf to Hunger Blade regen ability.
So changes of the regen ability will be rolled back to the
Suros Regime
No Backup Plans
Ward of Dawn Cast
Apotheosis Veil
And Embrace the Void perk
And they are going to keep the changes to the Hungering Blade, Red Death, Lifesteal, Transfusion and Cauterize but there is a buff of 58% to the amount of heath that you will get back. Also the cooldown of transfusion and cauterize is removed.
So those are the changes that are being tested at the moment in bungie’s sandbox, and the final fixes can be subject to change but it is a good indication of what we can expect from the upcoming fix.
A date has not been announced yet for this so subscribe to stay up to date on this and I will let you know as soon as we have news about this.
Let me know what you think of these fixes, do you agree or disagree lets hear it in the comments below.
Thats it for the update today, Thanks for watching, and I will see you later guardians!
