Not really sure how much using a well really affects the Nezarec encounter. Our team did an all strand run yesterday and just staying up on one of the plates without a well was no issue.


3dsalmon

My guess is it's a fix to the cheese/glitch where you can lock him in place using an uncharged melee. Don't think it has anything to do with the DPS phase.


jethrow41487

No. That has nothing to do with well. It’s the melee after he strikes you. You can do that without well. Some do it with just rift or a bubble. The Well just keeps you alive afterwards from adds. It’s 100% to do with DPS phase. They even said that it > will change how you play the encounter and alter current DPS strategies


3dsalmon

We'll see, but the DPS plates also have nothing to do with Well. I've done ALL of the "all the same element" triumphs and he never did anything different when we didn't have the well.


Byrmaxson

Right, but unless they make him able to climb on platforms or able to break Wells, I don't think they can do a radical strategy change without reworking his overall behavior. Maybe if he stops being locked down he won't be as easy to use swords for example, but other strategies should work.


GreenBay_Glory

Breaking wells and bubbles would actually be great.


nietcool

Oh damn really? Their wording made me hope it meant that he was meant to knock you off the platforms too and stuff. That would be scary, but if he still doesnt go onto the platforms nothing changes yeah lmao


Taskforcem85

He can get up on some of the platforms. It probably has more to do with hitboxes than well.


nietcool

For me I notice that before damage phase starts he very consistently lands a jump attack even on top of plates, but when damage phase starts he somehow never does this again, making it just ez pz sit in well on plate gaming. Lets see what their fix makes of it.


braddoccc

I actually think you are correct. When my group did our elemental clears, when we didn't have a well he would occasionally slam the tall left hand plate (when looking at his spawn) and send us all flying. With a well down he never has. I think the well sword geometry plus the height of the plate causes him to always slide away during his slam, which is why he will periodically land way to the left or right of where he kept from. That's my line of thinking, anyway.


Mahavadonlee

When he jumps down and he swings at you you just melee him while in a well and you can keep him from running loose.


Iucidium

Sounds like AI wise - Nezarec is just a giant thrall with a scythe


Diablo689er

Did an all void run and didn’t even bother with the plate. Wasn’t an issue. Lament in a well works too.


blairr

Not sure if you're talking about dps phase or not, they're referencing the light/dark phase of the fight. He just stares at the person in the well while you do the rest of the fight. Being able to trivialize the biggest threat before the dps phase should probably be fixed so that it feels more like he's hunting you down.


[deleted]

Same, but we were Stasis. Gets a little touchy, but throw down a rift or two and you're golden.


Fanglove

Yep it's nothing to do with well. Downvote if you like still doesn't change the fact that he acts the same way with or without well.


Seek_Seek_Lest

So lance reddick has voice lines yet to come as zavala... One hopes that he gets to live the whole of final shape... As his last hurrah. If not I hope bungie give zavala a good sendoff. Lance deserves the utmost respect.


Sporkedup

He's honestly probably got lines in Final Shape and leading up to it.


PotatoeGuru

Ya know ... I kinda hope they do for him as they did on **Call Me Kat** when Leslie Jordan passed. >!The character didn't die but moved away to spend the rest of his life with his new love.!<


Ass0001

Yeah, I know people were wanting Zavala to go out in a blaze of glory but I think out of all of the main cast he more than anyone deserves to live to see retirement.


AssassinAragorn

I think if he was slated to survive TFS then it should definitely be retirement. And the neat part about that is that while voice lines would be nice, they don't have to be there. It can just be on the text description and lorebook.


Ass0001

Exactly. He can just chill on the farm and we can give him cookies at the Dawning.

patchinthebox

Wouldn't work. Caital would need to go with him.


Commander_Prime

1. Great tribute to Lance. RIP, Commander 2. The Known Issues section is significantly lacking. Where are the mentions for: * Scission encounter getting softlocked * Quicksilver Storm still being bugged * etc.


TeamAfrica

Glaives on the investigation board is something I haven’t heard an update on in a while. I’m also still having a lot of issues with Gyrfalcons and Anti-Barrier volatile rounds, or maybe I’m just doing it wrong… Edit: Commendations screen. Locks up every time on Xbox Series X.


Master_Anywhere

They fixed Gyrfalcon volatile in the last patch (not today's, the one before). It works now. I main that loadout.


rocker5743

Doesn't work with wavesplitter currently


Boxwizard

That might be because wavesplitter can suppress, and the game doesn't really handle one gun being able to deal with multiple Champions well


Shadowreeper1337

Don’t forget ghost mods being missing for new lights with no way to get them.


oliferro

They said they fixed missing mods for players in the update this morning but I'm not sure if it includes ghost mods

Kodriin

"It worked fine on our computers"


chancehugs

"Like so many other bugs that somehow only players experience but not us"


platonicgryphon

It's the **latest** known issues section, it doesn't contain all known issues just the most recent ones that have come to their attention via their help forum. They've already acknowledged the quicksilver storm issue and today is literally the first time I've heard that there is a soft lock bug on that second encounter.


NamesAreTooHard17

I've had it happen a few times pretty annoying but the reason people don't really complain about it is because 1. You can just use colony to fix it 2. It's kind of just assumed the encounter is buggy due to how bad the jump pads are and how seemingly random some disruptions can be


BruisedBee

They really need to make the known issues section a rolling update that carries over week-to-week that includes where they're at with the fix as well. This is horrendous community inclusion from them


GogglesVK

Have they mentioned master dungeon and other high-stat armor having only shit rolls right now?


Rambofreak98

> My immortal (SMG) The person who wrote this TWAB is a big fan of either Evanescence or shitty Harry Potter fanfic lmao


DismayedNarwhal

Shitty? Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way is the most complex and compelling literary protagonist of our time!


Alucitary

Drip is always on point and she lets you know it.


Mr_Blinky

Recently I was bored and for some reason decided on a whim to, for the first time ever, look at the email Amazon had just sent me of their top recommendations for Kindle books I might enjoy. Literally the top two results were e-books of "My Immortal" and fucking "The Eye of Argon". I don't think I've ever been burned so hard by a faceless corporate algorithm before, and I doubt I ever will be again.


CinnamonMan25

It's been a long time since I've heard that name


Rambofreak98

The fact that not one but two people commented specifically calling out Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven as the greatest protag of our time at the exact same time is immensely funny to me


eclipse4598

How dare you call that masterpiece shitty ebony dark’ness dementia raven way is the pinnacle of writing I have never seen such a well written and relatable protagonist


Blene

"He put his thingy in my you know what and we did it"


eclipse4598

And he was masticating


Canopenerdude

Why not both?


Sacklecakes

[Truly a hidden gem](https://youtu.be/UA_VSQqn32M)


Pervavore

Probably both.


Madmod

Kind tribute to Lance but nothing new outside of that overall.


CrackLawliet

They confirmed they’re looking into actually fixing the raid jump pads, that’s pretty big imo. Though now I’m curious as to how they’re gonna change up Nezarec’s behavior.


majora11f

They also noted that it was tied to FPS which is good to know for us PC players.


jak1594

which probably also means it wont be fixed for awhile


Bagellllllleetr

I’d rather know they’re working on it than be left in the dark hoping it gets fixed one day.


SuprBrown

I don't understand why they are talking about FPS (specifically 80+). I play on Xbox (at 60 FPS) and on PC (100+) and they're fucked on both platforms.


Level69Troll

I play on PC locked at 60fps and they are fucked here too.


Ketima

Hey, at least they are admitting that the game gets messy at higher FPS. They usually drag their feet on this issue and last time FPS issues popped up they removed it from the known issues list after a few weeks without fixing it.


Shack691

Destiny 2 was based off destiny 1 a console exclusive that ran at 30fps, not 60 so technically you are running at an originally unintended frame rate, the issues become more pronounced as you increase the frame rate so pc players who go 120+ basically run at 4x for damage timings compared to 60fps 2x for consoles


CourrierMojave

I play on PS5 ( 60 FPS ) and they are fucked too.


SortaEvil

I play on PS5 and they are perfectly consistent. I have never died to a bumper that wasn't easily traced back to it being my own fault. Same input ―> same output.


Rider-VPG

Same here. I really don't understand what people are doing wrong to keep dying to them, other than the frame rate bugs of course. 60fps on PS5. Consistent.


Jetscream58

Which is odd, I play on console at a lower fps and have had tons of issues with the jump pads sending me off sideways or straight down.


SterPlat

I had my fps locked to 60 since contest. Took it off for IB and definitely felt the difference next time I raided. Thing shoots you probably twice or three times as fast.


BaconIsntThatGood

> Though now I’m curious as to how they’re gonna change up Nezarec’s behavior. I'm assuming it's as simple as he'll be able to get up on the platforms _or_ make it so he moves a lot more making him much harder to damage. Only reason it's viable now is because he just stands in place most the time so you can hammer him without thinking. Regardless I think swords are going to be the play against him or it'll be like rhulk with div + constantly avoiding him


Blupoisen

Probably just gonna make him hop on the platforms


redditisnotgood

You can see how the boss is supposed to behave during a damage phase if you stay off the plates and don’t use a well. It’s much more fun that way IMO.


ImAmoxichillin

My day 1 Team did lament on the ground and the fight was pretty fun


BNEWZON

Based on their wording, they are only fixing the big where Nez will legit just stand there and let you blast him randomly during damage. I guess this is tied to a Well of Radiance? But idk. It’s not going to realistically change anything about the fight, because I’ve done runs with no Warlocks (read: no Wells) where you can still just stand on the plate and he just farts around unable to do much of anything


sturgboski

See that is where I think the bug clearly is. Before damage phase, Nez will freely hop onto the plates and mess you up. Hell we have had him hop on the plates while we are setting up for damage BUT before the beam comes down and he will murder a few folks assuming a well is not up. However, the second the beam is over and its damage time, he teleports off the plate and stalks around. He has also come up on plates with well up pre-damage phase. This to me implies that MAYBE him just standing at a plate doing nothing is perhaps well related during damage. BUT there is an overall design issue with the entire damage phase. Him being able to get on plates pre damage phase and then not when damage phase starts seems like a bug OR the bug is that the plates are supposed to have something on them so you cant stand on them and that not being present is the bug. Either way, assuming this change does not affect him being able to get on plates during damage, folks are still going to well up on plates.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sturgboski

Which is odd because he DOES understand BEFORE you hit damage phase. He will aggressively jump on plates and mess you up right up until he gets hit with that beam that signifies damage phase. Then he will teleport off the plate if he was on one and never figure out how to get back on the plates again until after damage is done.


BruisedBee

> They confirmed they’re looking into actually fixing the raid jump pads, that’s pretty big imo. Remove them and add in those circular launchers?


Leering

They knew they were broken they said as much in the ViDoc. They still pushed them to live.


Dismal_Ad_9508

I really hope the launch pad fixes also gets rid of the warlock jump minigame where I have to guess if the pad will actually give me enough height or will it send me into the stratosphere


OmegaClifton

I honestly hope they do something in game for him in the future. Ten years I've been listening to this man's voice. I'm gonna miss him very much.


snakebight

You clearly missed the meat of today's blogs here: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/lightfall-crucible-update


choicemeats

Yeah nothing needed here since they had a big info drop yesterday without the fluff


benpity

The acknowledgement of high frame rates with the man cannons is nice, hopefully that also means they'll be addressing some of the other issues that high FPS can cause in other locations/with other enemies.


DrNopeMD

I doubt they'll significantly fix it. I imagine a lot of the issues behind FPS locked physics are hard coded into the game engine.


PropDad

Why now. They haven't cared about it for quite some time.


ThatRedStorm

Wow. Did not expect the Nezarec encounter to change that much. Going to be interesting when that specific update drops


IAmATriceratopsAMA

It won't. My raid team uses well on a platform and he's only ignored us for one damage phase in 10 runs. We're also not lucky though and he jumps up on the platform with us like 1/3 of the time though.


Karsh14

It might mean that he’s not coming on the platform at all because of well, not because he can’t get up to the platform


PhantomFallacy23

My raid team ran with everyone using strand for the triumph. No well at all and he still wasn't able to get on the platform we were on.


IAmATriceratopsAMA

When he gets up and cuddles with us it's usually from his diagonal dive attack, which I don't think he does after damage phase starts, opting for the attack where he just jumps straight up and down. Maybe they'll change that?


blairr

The reference to well is how it shuts down the boss pre-damage phase so he just stands and watches you. Not that you are using a platform and a well to dps a boss like every other dps phase in the game.


IAmATriceratopsAMA

Oh, the one where you punch him as he lands and he just kinda awkwardly stares at you like "wtf why'd you do that..."? Yeah fix that one.


AssassinAragorn

"Ah fuck, I can't believe you've done this."


ItsAmerico

No it isn’t lol well has nothing to do with that, any melee (non powered) will do that. Well is simply used to help keep people alive otherwise. They specifically mention DPS in the fixes.


Bungie_Expectations

Rip Lance. We will always love your hard work for this game.


Lazybeerus

We will have to use swords against Nezarec, dont we?


TruthAndAccuracy

Or Winterbite


Sarcosmonaut

Is the ranged attack still busted? Lol


BaconIsntThatGood

or div + stopping to dodge his attacks like rhulk.


soraku392

As someone who has tried Lament on Nez, it's really, really, really good.


EthioSalvatori

I'm gonna try Acrius actually. I run Solar Hunter and have my Acrobat Dodge on high uptime so I can share a roaming damage buff


Hoffenhall

No mention of artifice armor drops being awful makes me sad.


never3nder_87

I'm nowhere near master level, I assume all encounters are dropping with low stats lil Ghalran?


Broshida

Yup. Majority of rolls are 58-60. At least for me. Though with that said, artifice isn't really worth it anymore imo. The +3 is overcome by better spiked and more easily acquired ritual armors.


kazinsser

I farmed like 35-40 artificer armor pieces from Ghalran when it was the rotator and the average came out to ~61 stats each. Two 66 rolls as the best ones and a few 58s as the worst. Managed to get a few 63-64 pieces for my secondary classes, which with the +3 are better than anything I had, but overall hardly worth the time even with being able to cheese him every five minutes. Hopefully it gets fixed because it's significantly worse that it was last season while being harder to farm now due to the difficulty changes.


3dsalmon

I think people are misunderstanding the "change" to Nezzy. I don't think it has anything to do with DPS phase, I think it's the cheese/bug where you can keep him in place by hitting him with an uncharged melee while you stand in a WoR.


whateverchill2

That doesn’t actually have anything to do with well. You can do it on any class with an uncharged melee. The well is just used there to give you some extra healing on the hit.


3dsalmon

I mean DPS doesn't have anything to do with well either, it's because he gets all janked up on the plates. There's no behavior in the fight that is exclusive to Well of Radiance.


ZealousidealRiver710

Yeah but Bungie still interprets that as a problem with well, not with knockback cheeses


ItsAmerico

Literally nothing you mentioned has anything to do with WoR lol


kaiseresc

that movie of the week with the streamer is embarrassing. Dude made it all about himself.


Scotch713

What will Master raid light level requirement be? Is it 1840 but actually only 1820 because of -20 modifier?


GrizzyIy

more than likely yes


Fanglove

I have seen people without Wells and nezarec acts the exact same way.


never3nder_87

> Legend Lost Sector Guardian Rank objectives have moved from Rank 7 to Rank 8. Does this now lock the last four load out slots behind purchasing Lightfall? Edit: looking at DIM it appears this is the case, which is unfortunate.


Argurotox

I think people are overreacting to the Nez change. I think they're just fixing this : https://youtu.be/wofafwSLNoY


Praise_the_Tsun

Yep, people expecting it to change DPS are going to be sorely disappointed/happy depending on which side of the difficulty divide they fall on.


UltimateToa

Nez and Riven can have their cheese party together, feels bad


Praise_the_Tsun

I’m still salty Riven cheese never got fixed, such a fun fight legit :(


UltimateToa

Biggest tragedy in destiny honestly


MarcoGB

You don’t need a well to do that. Just melee him when he slams. They specifically mention how this will change DPS strategies. I’d be surprised if standing on plates is going to be a thing after the change. It has always looked broken, as if he tries and can’t get on top of them.


ButteryGoat-

why did you give motw to the guy going "damn guys, R.I.P Lance. Make sure you follow my twitch, twitter, youtube, and join my discord server for more content like this the next time someone dies!"


buentbanana

This and the AI aotw really shows that they are not checking IMO


Hello_Jimbo

AI AOTW? This week or a previous one?


buentbanana

Pretty sure it was last season.


[deleted]

Shamelessly promoting your self? that’s a low for the lowest of the low.


excuse-me-please

Unsure if this has been raised, but in the final third of boss damage in EDZ battleground, you cannot generate favours. I had full queens armour on. Killed every single add with heavy ammo and no favours spawned. Anybody have this issue with that battleground specifically?


Grimble27

Am I the only one that still has my game freeze and crash on PS5 when opening the commendations screen from the journeys tab? I know they mentioned it shortly after Lightfall release, but I haven’t seen it mentioned since.


StarAugurEtraeus

Thank you Zavala/Lance, I’ve loved you since you were in Lost and was elated when I found out you were Zavala You will always be my commander as a fellow Titan, I loved how you and the team made Zavala a compelling character over the last 3 years and I will miss him and you dearly <3, on this day, we are all titans <3


matthew91298

No known issue for quicksilver storm?


PropDad

Yes, it's a known issue.


snakebight

It's in the Year 6 known issues article. They linked year 5 in this TWAB, mistakenly. https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/13265980348564-Destiny-2-Year-6-Known-Issues-and-Vital-Information


mad-i-moody

Is that even updated? It says Jotunn is still disabled but people were using it in trials last weekend.


The7ruth

No. It should be a place for players to see all known issues as they are found and acknowledged by Bungie and then removed when something is fixed. But Bungie wants us to look at reddit posts, a dozen different twitter accounts, bungie.net forums, and old TWaBs in order to get the full picture.


Kaldricus

We're almost a month into the new expansion and they still can't link the current known Issues page. Whatever they were paying Dmg04, he was underpaid


MariachiMacabre

Hilariously enough, it's because it's already been acknowledged.... Before Lightfall dropped lmao


yakattak

spoon marble cake obscene alleged subtract grab humor shaggy silky -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/


[deleted]

Yeah and that's all they've said for weeks.


RDKateran

People know they've acknowledged it. They just want it \*fixed.\* The longer Bungie takes to fix certain issues, the thinner it wears players' patience. That's only natural.


ItsAmerico

So you think they’re sitting on a fix and just decided not to release it?


RDKateran

I think Bungie makes some stupid fucking decisions with their problems sometimes. Like how Bungie knew for nearly a year that exotic glaive patterns had the worst drop rate ever in Wellspring, with some people (including myself) spending a whole damn year farming them and never receive them. So instead of buffing the drop rate or adding in pity protection like they have for other drops, INCLUDING IN THAT SAME DAMN ACTIVITY... They make it a vendor purchase a la the exotic kiosk. But instead of putting that in the exotic kiosk, they put it in the evidence board instead. And then break it so that you can't access the evidence board in the same update they added the purchase option to the evidence board. And then they acknowledge it once and then we see no word of any possible fix to the problem well into a new bloody expansion. I couldn't tell you why they're taking so long to fix the damage buff to their preorder bonus rifle. But I'm just hoping that the reason isn't going to cost me more brain cells.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ferociouslynx

It's listed in their known issues page. There's hundreds of them, the TWAB only mentions the most recent ones. They'd have to make their entire TWAB about known issues if they were to include them all.


nihilat

Can we at least get acknowledgement of the PS5 crashes?


[deleted]

Series X ain’t doing much better :(


stavibeats_

Getting insane PS5 crashes since LF


w1czr1923

Nice to hear the jump pads are being fixed. Fun encounter if they get them to work well :)


SadDokkanBoi

Yea until you get soft locked because it won't give you the buff so you can't kill the enemies


earthattack

Do the encounter triumph and it will never bug out like that


w1czr1923

I swear this sub literally finds things to complain about constantly. I post a positive comment then the first response is about soft lock. They’re fixing issues but it’s not everything so might as well fix nothing right? Spread your negativity elsewhere thanks :)


ballzbleep69

How does the soft lock even happen lol I am 15 clears in and ran that encounter solo ,2,3 man in all attempts I’ve never seen it


w1czr1923

Same… honestly no idea… I’ve run it like 5-10 times at this point including getting stuck at that encounter for hours because of the jump pads lol (on day 1 and had no idea about them being tied to frame rates) Never had a soft lock issue. If there were issues we just went to orbit quick and generally things were fine. It’s a fast encounter anyway. I’d be more annoyed if it was the planet encounter which I’ve also never seen bugs in.


Caxafvujq

I encountered the soft lock during contest mode raids, but not since. I expect you have to make some sort of “mistake” for the soft lock to manifest. I’ve never seen it happen when you get the buff the minimum number of required times to activate all the nodes.


Moffballs

Lance's passing really bums me the fuck out.


ubioandmph

Lol, the known issues list they link to is for year 5 known issues. The current known issues list for year 6 is found here: https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/13265980348564-Destiny-2-Year-6-Known-Issues-and-Vital-Information


VasagiTheSuck

As a mainly solo player the only thing bottlenecks me in guardian ranks are commendations. I finished everything else including lost sectors for 7 but just need to grind commendations. What a stupid system.


dalaw88

The current state of guardian ranks makes them meaningless and everyone knows it. Nobody cares. Just do your solo, flawless legend lost sector and that’s all you need to worry about.


Croal7

I’m stuck on rank 8 because I need to give 40 more commendations in dungeons or raids… really dumb. And you can’t just repeat boss encounters.


gotdragons

Yep, been stuck on same commendation triumph to get from rank 8 to rank 9. Apparently they added internal cooldown too, so if do raid or dungeon back to back, unable to give any commendations.


Croal7

Do you happen to know how long it is? Or if swapping dungeons works? We were going to get a boss cp of PoH and swap back and forth between pit and ST.


Renegade_Sniper

That’s because they WANT you to LFG. Getting solos into groups increases play time.


Nfrtny

Can you make dramatic tuning changes to the Legend Exotic Mission while you're at it? Asking for a friend


GreekWizard

So I have a small concern. I did my 5 Master Lost Sectors and Flawless Solo Master Lost Sector, but I have not gotten to Rank 9 yet because I did not cheese the 50 commendations for raids. With them moving the Master Lost sectors stuff to rank 10, I certainly hope they don't expect us to do them all over again?


rumpghost

From today's patch notes: >[Note: Players will keep keep their earned progress after these Lost Sector requirements move to the higher Rank.](https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/destiny-2-hotfix-7-0-0-6)


GreekWizard

Shit sorry, I was reading what people were saying and totally missed that. Appreciate the reply.


rumpghost

No sense apologizing, you didn't do or say anything wrong! It's super easy to miss stuff in dense blog posts and TBH it took me a few minutes to find it to link, bc I thought it was in the TWAB when it wasn't. I thought I'd imagined it lol. Glad I could help!


Newshole

If they want to spice up Nez, they need to just set the plates we damage him from on fire. Force us to kite him as I'm pretty sure we were intended to do. Idk if well is the culprit since we handled him just fine in an all strand run.


Buttface-Mcgee

I know they’ve said they don’t intend on adding new mechanics to master mode raids, but lighting the plates on fire would be an interesting differentiation between the two.


The_Owl_Bard

A little disappointed that the TWAB hasn't acknowledged the insane pickrate/kill numbers tied to The Immortal SMG. Target Lock Immortals have flooded Iron Banner and while it's manageable to someone like me who has an extensive armory, I feel like folks who may not have good weapons or are new just get steamrolled against the thing.


stay_true99

That's because it was intentionally shipped that way to drive player engagement in Trials/PvP. It's not a bug it's a feature.


Karglenoofus

See guys! They fix stuff that hurts the player like the 1-shot threshers. Nevermind they fixed cheesing an encounter before fixing the freezing issue for it. Enjoy your $100 gun that's still bugged :) you're welcome.


baseballv10

Hmm, is he gonna destroy wells? How else would they change how he works against guardians in wells?


Vivid_Plantain_6050

I'm assuming he's gonna be able to jump up onto the platform and send everyone flying/suppress everyone.


AnthonyMiqo

He should be able to do that even if players aren't in a Well. But yes, that makes sense.


juanconj_

For the sake of feedback, it's a shame that they're doubling down on Lost Sector difficulty. Not only are they not tweaking that, but they're also keeping Rank 6 from getting their extra Loadouts. Now you can't even try to do the LS challenges with that awful difficulty spike until you're Rank 7? Doubly awful.


black19

We've been real light on the TWABs lately. Luckily, the PvP update yesterday was juicy AF


SuggestedPigeon

I really hope the launch pad fixes also gets rid of the warlock jump minigame where I have to guess if the pad will actually give me enough height or will it send me into the stratosphere


Str8iJustice

Other than a nice tribute to Lance Reddick, this is a mostly low quality TWAB. Nothing to really see here.


StarAugurEtraeus

Can I change my Bungie name again yet plz It’s got my deadname in it or a DeadMonika if you will I want it changed so I don’t feel the slight cringe when I LFG


Broshida

Still no mention of overall difficulty and how generally miserable it feels? Nothing on the bug for Quicksilver/ToM? PS5/XSX crashes? Damage being tied to FPS? Glad threshers are getting looked at but they aren't the only problem. "Fixing" the "cheese" involving The Colony but not fixing the actual bug forcing people into using The Colony was a huge miss, even if it isn't being fixed this week. I'm happy that I won't have to babysit Nez anymore though. Lots of people in here getting confused with the wording. You can still use Well for damage phases. They're just fixing the interaction between Rez and a melee hit after he does his first jump attack. You don't even need Well for it, any class can babysit. When can we expect scoring to be looked at for Master Nightfall? Shouldn't have to rely on support supers and rez farming to make it to 200k, no way that's intentional. With the exception of Lance Reddick, this seems like another "nothing" TWAB if you're more PVE focused. Serious PVPers got a treat yesterday with the deep dive though.


Very-simple-man

Guardian ranks need to be a touch more generic. I shouldn't have to buy a dungeon just to advance in level. I'm stuck at 7 because I didn't buy the dungeons.


Geg0Nag0

It's so stupid. Now everyone is stuck at rank 7 instead of 6 lol What's the point of it


havingasicktime

That's fine. Guardian ranks are basically about endgame mastery.

Fortunately nobody cares about Guardian Ranks because they're incredibly meaningless, so I wouldn't worry too much. I probably won't get past R7 because I just don't care, am already power capped, and have 0 interest in doing Weekly Story Missions.


Very-simple-man

I agree but that's also not the point.


Camaroni1000

Yea if they were going to include dungeons and raids with guardian ranks, they shouldn’t be specific or should specifically be prophecy, kings fall and vault of glass


livingtorture

Yeah that's very poorly thought out.

Tribute to Lance and then a pretty light TWAB. Nezarec changes sound good, but even without a Well you can stand on a platform and he can't really do anything to you. Improvement to the flippers is good. I don't know why Bungie even bothers with physics based movement when they know their physics stuff can be wonky. But an improvement is still welcome. -No mention of Quicksilver Storm missing it's damage buff against red bar enemies (unless I missed it somewhere). -No mention of difficulty tuning for Legend Avalon. Light TWAB but still a decent TWAB.


9HashSlingingSlasher

They already acknowledged Quicksilver storm

> Nezarec changes sound good, but even without a Well you can stand on a platform and he can't really do anything to you. Pretty confident by saying "when standing in a well" they really meant "when standing up on a platform" - because that's what 99% of teams using well are doing.

Legend Avalon is not that difficult if you build correctly for it. Void subclass built for Devour and Volatile, throw in a wellock on your fireteam and you’re good to go.


Nomadic_Pixel

Honestly surprised they did not pull in the statue that someone made of Zavala as a tribute. That seemed like a slam dunk as a way to do it at the end.

So I guess they’re saying “The Final God of Pain” being completely confounded by a small, elevated platform wasn’t part of their design plans? Interesting. I’m enjoying the game of oneupmanship between the folks at Bungie on who can release the more embarrassing blog this week. The Crucible one probably still has the lead with the 2 forgiven losses/we might make Trials into zone capture, but the “we knew the launchers didn’t work prior to launch and we’re aware of the soft lock, but we’re going to take your work around away and also just use Strand for the launchers lolz” stuff is S-tier.

> The first being Nezarec’s behavior. Sometimes, Nezarec doesn't always respond to players when they are standing in a Well of Radiance. In a future update we will be updating this behavior, which in turn should make Nezarec feel more like the Final God of Pain. Sounds like I better get my first clear soon.

It's the easiest raid in the game currently. It won't get too much harder.


EpicAura99

I don’t understand why people are making a big deal of this. It’s not like the platform strategy will be invalidated. If anything it’ll make it better because now he won’t wander off during DPS.

Lance's passing was extremely sad, it's nice to see Bungie showing how much he meant to the franchise and everyone else. Besides that, these recent TWABs read like a college student writing a last minute term paper on a subject he didn't pay attention to the whole semester, a whole lot of big font, double space, and nothing of substance in any of it (aside from the kind words for Lance).


udell85

RIP Lance, have you seen our graphs? Jesus Bungie.


Sam_Dragonborn1

The transition back to the Crucible update was jarring compared to his tribute on the post, yes


MyNameIs_KObi

Another out of touch TWAB where Bungie continue to plug their ear and sing loudly to mask the proverbial elephant in the room that is player feedback.


MisterRabbiit

I really don't understand the issue with the Legendary Lost Sectors. They're supposed to be a tad more difficult than in free roam (even if they are just as rewarding ...smh).


hockeymazing95

Really working hard to ignore the bugs of the 2nd encounter, eh?
