The Perk-Distribution Bug has existed since at least Final Shape, 4 months ago. It just didn't happen on any popular perk combinations, so it flew under everyone's radar. Media

"There's no reason that Moving Target + Threat Detector should be 17x more likely than MT + Repulsor Brace."

Truthteller was reissued when Final Shape came out. Notoriously, it was panned as a pretty shitty reissue, with no good rolls, no clearly defined god roll, and overall just everyone moved on and ignored it.

However, even on Truthteller, the perk distribution is night and day. This is the exact same bug that's on Chill Inhibitor.

It's just that nobody was crying they couldn't get "Harmony + Grave Robber" on the GL. Out of tens of thousands of drops, only 161 people got Danger Zone + Elemental Capacitor.

That is fractions of a percent.

This bug has existed for a while. It's only just now, just this season, just recently, that it's finally happened to a meta defining god roll trait combination.

How long as this been in the system?

God I love it when incompetence and/or dumb decisions are discovered and plastered all over for anyone to see. Bungie has been getting dogged on constantly since they throttled XP gains back in VANILLA D2 and yet for some goddamn reason people continue to give them the benefit of the doubt, 8 years on.

don't count on it bro. there's a good percentage of the community that is stuck so deeply in Bungie's bums that they will still find a way to call people criticizing them "haters", or they'll tell them to "simply play another game if you don't like it". mark my words

This whole thread and the last one are filled to the brim with people still defending them as if they’re getting paid. Hell, there’s even deniers of the whole throttling XP disaster now.

A large part of this community will never learn and that is Bungie’s market segment to keep whaling for all their worth.
