Bungie has apologized for the missing information in its Destiny 2 The Edge of Fate patch notes, and promised that it’s trying to get these details out as soon as possible. Players are reporting plenty changes that need to be addressed in the game, which they’ve had to end up guessing at due to a lack of official confirmation. There’s no exact timeframe for when Bungie will get the info out just yet, but the team at least assures that it never intentionally brings “stealth nerfs” to the game.
On Tuesday July 15, Bungie released the Destiny 2 update 9.0.0.1 patch notes. These were some of the biggest the studio has ever published, covering The Edge of Fate expansion, new Portal feature, Seasonal Hub, gear changes, and more. One of the best FPS games on PC has completely changed, and the patch notes need to fully reflect that.
That said, players have been noticing that the notes don’t completely show some of the free Steam game‘s biggest alterations. So the community has been making lists of what’s different in the game, especially around the Warlock Destiny 2 class. That’s why principal communications manager Dylan ‘dmg 04’ Gafner is addressing the missing patch notes, and outlining what Bungie plans to do.
“For the last few days, teams have been reviewing player reports and auditing changes to identify gaps in our patch notes article. We’re looking to get details out ASAP on the missed notes, and seriously – many apologies here,” Gafner writes.
“I’ve said it before, but we never intend to ship ‘stealth nerfs’ in Destiny 2. I understand this has happened a few times before, too – and it stands to show that a few of our processes need improvement. We would be completely out of our minds if we thought we could slip something under the rug without players noticing. We’re committed to clear and honest comms, and never wish to deviate from that. This was one of (if not the) longest patch notes submissions we’ve had, and while we hoped we had every bullet buttoned up, we fully acknowledge we missed on some big ones here.
“I don’t have a specific timeline yet on when we’ll get the exacts out. Warlock changes are a big one, but there’s more we’ll be getting straightened out too. Some exotic ammo backpack changes were also not detailed enough – we had notes on how ammo was changing all up with a broad rebalancing line, but no specific bullets for things like Queenbreaker.”
From what I’m seeing online, The Edge of Fate and Destiny 2’s systematic changes have split the community. Some find the Portal quite messy, for example, but I appreciate how it breaks up the PvE and PvP activities you can do. I think the newest expansion makes now the ideal time to jump in, even if the game can still be a nightmare to navigate at times. If you want to dive in now, we’ve got the cheapest deal for The Edge of Fate we could find online.
