Destiny 2 Season of the Wish Patch Notes
UPCOMING EXOTIC ARMOR AND ARMOR MODS CHANGES
It’s time for another set of Exotic armor balance changes! We once again wanted to buff some underused Exotics, with a particular focus this time on broadening the number of viable melee-oriented Exotic options for all three classes. We also wanted to improve the two least popular Aeon cult sects, with the goal that running a team of Aeon would provide more value in high-end PvE play. We also snuck in a few miscellaneous changes that we feel improve the armor sandbox.
Here are the details, broken down by class. Please note that, unless otherwise specified, the following changes leave the rest of the Exotics' benefits intact.
HUNTER
Shards of Galanor
Ophidia Spathe
TITAN
Severance Enclosure
Peregrine Greaves
Wormgod Caress
Ashen Wake
Synthoceps
While we wanted to bring the generic melee bonus down a bit to give space for other, more specialized melee Exotics to shine in their specific niches, we felt it was safe to bring Synthoceps’ Glaive melee bonus back up a substantial amount. We have also swapped the increased melee lunge range for increased weapon handling and reload speed.
Precious Scars
WARLOCK
Ballidorse Wrathweavers
Apotheosis Veil
Felwinter's Helm
Karnstein Armlets
Aeon Cult
Aeon Swift, Aeon Safe, and Aeon Soul Exotic armor all received the following changes to their "sect" mods.
Sect of Force
This has been reworked to be all about providing your allies significant bonus weapon damage against powerful combatants. The bonus grenade and melee energy has been moved to be the special benefit granted to Aeon cult allies using a different sect.
Sect of Insight
Sect of Insight had a strong role in endgame PvE teams, and we don’t want to change that. The one modification we do want to make is changing the Aeon cult ally bonus to be Super energy instead of weapon damage, as we want Sect of Force to be the source of weapon bonuses.
Sect of Vigor
Sect of Vigor already had a strong theme as the supporting role in the Aeon cult. We wanted to boost its effectiveness by having it provide damage resistance in PvE, in addition to its class ability benefits. Our goal is to make Sect of Vigor players shepherds for their team, keeping their allies near to protect them from harm.
Those are all the changes planned for Exotic armor that will be available the moment Season of the Wish launches. As always, let us know how you feel about these, try them in your favorite activities, and keep that precious feedback coming!
ARMOR MOD CHANGES
In addition to the Exotic changes listed above, we’re also adjusting several Armor Mods. To reiterate what was touched on in the Gameplay section, the high potential power output of abilities means they need to have proportional uptime and require meaningful (and sometimes difficult!) buildcrafting choices. Currently, the high-water mark for ability uptime is higher than we’d like. In order for us to hit our broader goals of reigning in ability energy sources across the sandbox, we need to reduce the amount of energy fed into the energy economy via Armor Mods.
We believe these changes will help return some meaningful choice to both ability usage and the Armor Charge system, while still allowing each Armor Mod to provide a valuable effect.
END OF SEASON APPROACHES
Season of the Witch concludes on November 28, 2023, at 9 AM PST. Players should make sure to claim all engrams and other rewards before the new Season begins. Any rewards not claimed from non-Seasonal vendors will be removed at the beginning of the next Season.
UPDATED TEXT CHAT FILTERING
One of our core values is “creating worlds that inspire friendship,” which includes protecting players and encouraging positive teamwork. With this aim, in early December we will begin implementing significant improvements to text-chat language filters. Some things to note:
Players who encounter unexpected filter behavior will be able to report it via a dedicated submission form in the near future.
