It would have been a simple, low-risk decision to revert it.
Changing course on the other described Portal changes will involve significantly longer and tougher conversations, as it'll require reevaluating them alongside the internal and player-communicated goals they have for the system.
Your sound team is capable of amazing feats; Melas Panoplia is a sterling example! I'm sure a suitably celebratory chime could be composed.
@dmg04.bsky.social With respect to today's TWID and the statement that Power progress was deemed too slow -- would I be correct in assuming that this work has been focused on improving QoL for people on the Prime power climb (400+ now, 500+ in A&I)?
@destiny2team.bungie.net Please pass on my appreciation to the member of the art team who thought to put toe beans on the underside of the Purrfect Splice jumpship!!
Especially after the studio said after Witch Queen, where there was a lot of bad sentiment about poor rolls of that campaign's awarded Exotic piece, that you'd avoid poor / inappropriate rolls in that situation to help bolster the feeling that the item was worth the effort
@destiny2team.bungie.net It's regrettable that the copy of Melas Panoplia awarded at the end of the Legendary campaign had the Grenadier archetype, not Brawler.
One thing clan members have been curious about is "Pity ammo" that dropped a brick or two of Special after having being out for a bit. Could the team explicitly say that this is either bugged or removed?
Solar Titan really could use some other way to get Roaring Flames going without an Ability kill. Solar grenades have poor killing power. Throwing Hammer can't one-tap many red bars at 0 stacks even at 120 Melee investment, and the first point makes Hammer feel really bad to use anyway.
Thanks!
Barricade Taunt feels far less effective than it was in Heresy, even at 94 Class stat investment, but there were no patch notes saying it was changed.
@destiny2team.bungie.net A couple of bits of feedback:
Solar Titan is not feeling good. Throwing Hammer passing through me after bouncing off an enemy gets me kills far too frequently.
Thank you for this communication. It felt bad previously to have a brick drop into the void, it feels even worse now. Looking forward to seeing what elegant solution the sandbox team comes up with for that.
If people want to use a Suros weapon in an Avant Garde activity, their options are pretty limited. Only one eligible gun can be acquired currently, and only through Crucible Ops.
@dmg04.bsky.social I've been finding Throwing Hammer has been bouncing really weirdly off point-blank range enemies, even apparently passing through me. Is this intended behaviour?
@destiny2team.bungie.net Best wishes to the team for a smooth deployment!
Great TWID, thank you. Just one question -- I didn't see any Legendary Weapon archetype tuning for PvE, so I assume everything remains as they currently are? Thanks!
@destiny2team.bungie.net Thanks for the sandbox update information in today's TWID. Just to confirm, there are no ability changes coming at all for Titans?
Will the Artifice armour pieces have fixed rolls or random each time bought?
@dmg04.bsky.social Once I saw the cat emote, it was mandatory for me to upgrade the event card 😹
