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.

Good stuff, keep em coming. Exited for new catalysts, can we get some details on what they will include?
-
inb4 the PvP crybabies start whining about the subclass buffs.
-
Thanks for nothing -arc titans
-
Bring back Nature of the Beast pls! As I started reading what Arc Week was all about I started hoping for a Y2 variant of Nature of the Beast (like we've had the beefed up Nightshade and Origin (Horror) Story. I loved that 180 HC in Y1. Probably too late for Arc week now, I know but please consider bringing it back with a second perk. Arc week looks cool, though, and I might even buy those emotes - bit underwhelmed by the Titan one, though, tbh :/
-
This week we’ve added more pay only emotes to the game, happy spending Guardians.... Seriously why are there soooo many emotes and ornaments now that can only be bought with real money. Everything else, meh... I have a feeling some of those Titan buffs will get rolled back, especially with the recluse now existing - thinking Shotgun apes are bad just wait...
-
So let's get a few things straight. They thankfully buffed Nova Warp, still haven't done anything to spectral, and added new catalysts before ADDING THE FACTION ONES? Where is the logic, cmon! Basically Arc week is literally just putting Arc on everything, nothing special right?
-
Are you f-ing kidding? So you spent all this time adjusting arc subclasses for this arc week instead of fixing spectral blades? (which is an actual problem in the crucible) it’s great you fixed nova warp but come on your priorities are severely out of wack. You keep delaying what the community wants to push other stuff that’s not a direct problem. Also still no news on enhancement cores. Clearly your priorities are not on the player base feedback as spectral and enhancement cores are missed AGAIN.
-
Hi Cozmo, what about the Sunshot catalyst or is it available at the moment?
-
Warlocks rejoice! We are finally vindicated. Not only have Bungie openly stated that they overdid it with Novawarp... more importantly, they deemed several non-arc subclasses so useless that they needed to update them RN, rather than waiting for their respective weeks. Finally, I can be more than a Well of Radiance and a Slovabomb.
-
Arc week is "content"?. Love it.
-
Why only one week? I'm away on holiday next week and will miss it all. That said, I don't actually think I'm that bothered. There doesn't seem to be any real reason why you've decided to (over) buff all Arc abilities over the other elements. There still isn't actually anything new, you guys still haven't addressed the Enhancement core issue nor actually, fully denied the 'No PvP 4 D3' rumours. In the past missing an event like this would have made me sad, now I'm thinking the timing of my holiday couldn't be better.
-
then bring back the original arc hunter jump - the teleport. thx
-
Can we get an emote of the Thanos finger snap effect? Call it “The TWAB” because that’s what happens each week shortly after every TWAB post. *fades*
-
Nice TWAB! Very excited about new catalyst and revival of poor nova warp. Thanks for listening, guys! <3

Edited by Kouz_MC: 4/5/2019 6:13:16 AMIt’s still the same hamster wheel. Just a little faster. I ain’t no hamster, and I’m no fan of bungie’s subliminal bathing room for mono cellular organisms. Sorry bungie I can already guarantee you this isnt yielding any returning player.
-
This is the kinda of info that would make me excited for the TWAB on a weekly basis. However, this type of info has to be persistent. You’re clearly listening and have responded in kind with regards to Nova’s excessive nerf, spectral’s rampancy, drop rates, the crucible sandbox, and the other subclasses. Please continue to do so going forward. Any new info regarding the entity of the sandbox shouldn’t be kept secret. Leave the secrecy to things like quest content and other types of in game secrets. Please be open about sandbox changes and quality of life changes. That kind of communication will be great and very welcome. Thanks for listening. P.S. You still gotta figure out enhancement cores. Good luck 😁

Good direction, good news.

Edited by Crucify: 4/5/2019 12:47:48 AMThank you, this is the kind of TWAB i've been looking forward to. Absolutely cannot wait to see the buffs to top tree Stormcaller in places and see the arc chain effects in action (:
-
Unpopular opinion- I’m actually looking forward to Arc Week. All those buffs sounds really interesting, can’t wait to test them out!
-
Awesome twab guys, can't wait that Tuesday! Gj
-
Where the hell is Arbalest
-
blah blah blah minor buffs blah blah blah minor fixes to issues without actually fixing anything worth noting blah blah blah buy more $10 emotes from Tess Guess you guys are still just expecting people throw money at the screen for shoddy work and minimal upgrade. Oh well, 450k players across 3 consoles says it all, but I guess you guys are waiting til you hit 250k before anythings gets done.

Fix shield bash please, I blatantly shield bashed a guardian and they didn’t die this happens consistently

Edited by Jinx: 4/5/2019 1:33:03 AMYesterday the player numbers hit what may well be the per platform lowest player numbers in the history of the game. At the very least it was close.... Most of this is too little too late. You know a lot of people would come back for a simple sign of good faith like removing enhancement cores from infusion. Personally I think there are much worse problems that need to be addressed but really just feeling like you're listening on that point will go a long way to getting back players.... Most of all you need to start taking actions before it becomes a crisis. People have been predicting this player crash would result from you ignoring player concerns for months and you just kept on ignoring it. Now you're going to have to deal with it and it's not going to look like something you're doing "because players told us what they wanted", you're going to look like you're doing it because there's a figurative gun to your head to do something before you lose the players you have left. Doing something because you had no choice "tests" a lot differently than doing something because you heard your community and took action to give them what they wanted. You're going to have to do it eventually. Do you really want it to be because you had no choice? You're not going to be able to spin that as "listening to the players". It's going to look bad. You're going to look weak for finally caving into demands, and foolish that it took a literal catastrophe to make it happen. You're in a gocart playing chicken with a big rig. Except it's night time and your gocart doesn't have headlights so not only are you going to lose, the rig isn't even going to know it ran you over.
