In Destiny, every Guardian probably has an idea of how they would improve the shooter in “Destiny 2”. We present 10 of these wishes.
2017 is expected to be the year of “Destiny 2”. Activision announced this months ago. The sequel is on track. The work on Destiny 2 is in full swing – Guardians can expect a lot in 2017. But what exactly is on the way? Concrete information is scarce. Since “The Dawning,” Guardians are heading towards an uncertain future. We have summarized all previous bits of information about Destiny 2 here.
A statement that all Guardians will probably agree with: The current Destiny is not perfect. At launch, it faced a lot of criticism, from a lackluster story to balance issues. Always accompanied by content droughts. Now Destiny 2 has the chance to “make everything better”.
And that is exactly the plan: While “The Taken King” was a reboot of Destiny to fix the small things, Destiny 2 is supposed to overhaul the big things. What these “big things” will be remains to be seen. However, the Guardians already have concrete ideas about how they would improve their MMO shooter.
Frequent Content Updates
A content drought as severe as in 2016 must not happen to the Destiny developers again. For months, Bungie was unable to deliver fresh content. And even “Rise of Iron”, the big autumn expansion in 2016, was weak compared to “The Taken King”.
However, we already know that the responsible parties do not want to allow such a content famine again: Three studios are now working on Destiny’s future. Furthermore, Activision spoke of a steady stream of content that Guardians can look forward to. The frequency of DLCs and events will likely increase.
The first wish, to which work is eagerly being done: More content at shorter intervals. A roadmap would also be welcomed, from which one could see in the long term when to expect new content.
A Coherent Story
An important topic: The story missions. With “The Taken King”, they became more coherent, exciting, and with more cutscenes, but in Year 1, hardly any Guardian could follow the in-game story. Humor, connections, and interesting character developments were lacking – everything that makes a good story. The campaign was probably the biggest flaw in Vanilla Destiny.
Therefore, all eyes will be on the story in Destiny 2. The expectations are high. Bungie knows they need to deliver.
