This week at Bungie, we’re getting ready for some high voltage.
A storm is brewing. Next week, we’ll kick off what we’ve been calling Arc Week. Our goal for this happening has been to take the element that makes our sandbox crackle and put it under the microscope. The most noticeable update is that we improved many Arc subclass paths from the time before Forsaken. The week will also feature Arc Singe and Arc Bounties to synergize with your updated abilities. To provide a proving grounds for all this new energy, Mayhem will be available in the Crucible to let you experiment with your enhanced Arc abilities using shockingly short cooldowns.
Arc Week will also feature one of the most powerful Arc weapons ever created, the Thunderlord Exotic Machine Gun. If you weren’t able to complete the quest to obtain Thunderlord last year, you will have from April 9 to April 23 to revisit the Cosmodrome and add it your collection.

Yes to new catalysts, emotes, buffing subclasses/weapon drops, and trying something new with arc week. No to the double nerf for invasions in gambit. If we get to invade less, the kills shouldn't heal less as well. Seems you should've picked 1 or the other: either invade less or have kills heal less. Overall I dig the incoming patch. I know it's hard work to keep a game like this maintained, while also coming up with new ways to engage the player base, while said player base is always shouting not so encouraging things at you. Say that to say: don't let the negative get to you, overall y'all have been doing a hell of a job. Keep it up. Anyway, can't wait to electrify and shock during arc week. Hopefully we get to burn and send things to the darkness with solar and void weeks in the future.

Liars handshake, makes hunter Iq drop. I just wanna punch open a jar..titan style..

I swear thunderlord better not be the “free exotic quest” we promised on the roadmap or I’m gonna freaking lose it
-

Gotta be honest, I was expecting the Warlock's buffs to be from none existing to insignificant... It seems I was correct! All right... I'll wait for the day Storm Grenade is useful, in some way... And the day where the Stormtrance super has any sort of actual magnetism on PvP, proper PvP damage (specially against other supers) and actual damage resistance (nothing easier than taking down a Stormtrance user, with anything)... 150% damage buff after 5 seconds of continuous use? Sounds great... On paper... This clearly sounds like a PvE "buff" which is equal to nothing, because if you try to make the most of it and damage a boss with this super, the range is so ridiculously small, you will be sent flying on you back by every single boss' ground pound attack... Which means, you have to go at it again, try to get the damage increase again, which by the time you may start getting to it, the super will have been depleted since the movement while in super is painfully slow... On the level of the Nova Warp while charging the explosion, slow. Well... Let the favorite childs get the good and meaningful buffs as usual, Hunters and Titans alike... Not even gonna talk about the Spectral Blades and its inability to be toned down even a little... Or how top tree Dawnblade is still pretty useless in PvP, specifically while in super... Or how Phoenix Dive, in normal state or while in super is pretty useless and makes you a sitting duck... It feels like the area of damage for the Phoenix Dive while in super is -10 meters and only damages something of you stab it directly in the head... Or how there are no good Dawnblade exotics for PvP... Anyway...

Good progress!

In response to your re-buff of Voidwalker Nova Warp Super.. My issue with the super has always been the range the detonation has (coming up against it) I can see the warlock using it, coming toward me..i run and jump out of the way. Now im nowhere even close to him, yet he detonates and "boom" i'm dead. HOW? Even stormcaller doesnt have that reach, and stormcaller isnt an insta-kill the moment a single stream of lightning touches you. Decrease the effective range the detonation has. The further away i am, the less damage I take. Not insta kill me.

So so, I can finally use my pole dancer as intended?!? WUT?!
-
I really wish you guys wouldn't talk in seasons (ie. summer, winter, spring & autumn) because you do realise that you have a global game and the southern half of the earth (yes half, I know, hard to believe right) experiences the opposite season.
-
Arc has never really been my favorite subclass choice for any of my characters, (Code of the Missile comes really close though), so maybe I can spend some time learning to like them. Good TW@B though.
-
Oh that Gambit Prime change for invasions is a godsend
-
Good TWAB and good implementation of adding emotes. They're pretty cool too so I can see people getting them. Even if we dont get buffs to other subclasses I would like to see more cool stuff with elemental themed weeks more regularly. Also, glad you guys have been responding to certain concerns like we needed. However there are still things that need to be taken care of. Cheers!
-
Are the buffs only for Arc week or are they permanent?
-
Are this subclass changes permanent or nah?
-
All great. Keep up the good work :)
-
Nova warp buffed again, lol.
-
ZHA-LO-SUPER-CELL!
-
Sentinel hit detection?
-
I understand your teams need for leaving things up to the imagination, but you shouldn’t let us “find out ourselves” when it comes to direct buffs to classes (stormcaller). We want cold, hard numbers like everything else. Also, kind of unrelated but it would be nice to have a list of things that have been mentioned to the dev team and things that are highly requested similar to how D1 had. That way it’s all in one area so we can have a look and see if something has been mentioned.

The drifter was wet with laughter. He would let them request. “I will monitor you in the field guardians”! He held his composure as he looked down. “Mayheeeemmmm?”, he squealed. The guardians stood up and began to file out. All were silent except the drifter; he blushed and said “Cheers”.

So spectral goes untouched, and you’re buffing crutch warp... soo what Titan class is getting buffed?
-
Can we have “Last Wish” week that anybody finishes the raid gets a Thousand Voices even they don’t plan on using it?
