Wow. Patch notes retcon. (Destiny)

I wish they'd just say it was a mistake.

.04% change is virtually nothing. There's no way that would have any effect practically.

A 4% increase would multiply the damage by 1.04
A .4% increase would multiply the damage by 1.004
A .04% increase would multiple damage by 1.0004 which is basically a rounding error.

It's near impossible this was the intended value and the patch is working as planned.

On one hand, it seems weird,

On the other there's not really any reason for them to lie about it. It's not like they ahve some record of "NEVER BUGS IN DESTINY UPDATES" they need to protect or something.

The update tomorrow is supposed to have explanations for it.
