Guardians who have been let down by chance in their hunt for titles and seals will soon have reason to rejoice. The upcoming update 2.2.1 for Destiny 2 brings some much-anticipated changes.
What do title hunters want from Destiny 2? For quite some time, a large part of the Bungie community has been calling for the removal of the random component from the hunt for titles and the unlocking of triumph seals.
But even with an increase in the drop rate of certain items needed for these achievements, many guardians would already be very happy.
As it looks, that big wish is actually going to come true soon.
How Bungie plans to respond to fan demands: As Bungie recently announced, they intend to accommodate fans now.
While the RNG component will not be eliminated, the drop rate for some rare and almost notorious cosmetics is set to be increased with the upcoming update 2.2.1. This includes, among other things, the ship, the ghost, or the sparrow from the Dreaming City, as well as cosmetic items from the Forsaken raid “Last Wish”.
Adjustments to the drop rates of the Braytech arsenal and the Raid fusion rifle One Thousand Voices have also been promised. The calls of the guardians have not gone unheard, according to the studio.
When the update will be released exactly is still unclear. The community manager dmg04 named a timeframe of “in a few weeks”.
What was the problem with the titles? Since the release of the Forsaken expansion, players in Destiny 2 have had the opportunity to unlock titles for their guardians and thus stand out from the crowd. Additionally, these tasks were intended to promote long-term motivation.
However, this led to quite the opposite for many guardians. Frustration was, in many cases, greater than motivation. The hunt for coveted titles like “Cursebreaker” “Dredgen” or “Riven’s Bane” is associated with enormous effort, time, but unfortunately also a lot of luck.
Numerous required items drop only randomly and cannot be farmed directly. Especially cosmetic items and some weapons are so rare that many players became desperate and gave up the hunt for titles entirely.
Motivation looks different and should definitely not depend on chance, as the general consensus in the community goes. For example, even with nearly 100 raid clears, certain items like the One Thousand Voices simply wouldn’t drop for some guardians. Without the corresponding items, there were also no titles.
This left many guardians feeling that the titles only represented a good deal of luck and not a strong achievement, which they were originally meant to symbolize. But that is set to change soon. Chance should play a lesser role in the hunt for titles and seals in the future.
