In Destiny 2 the endgame is under heavy criticism. Bungie is now working out plans for the future.
In recent weeks, not a day went by without multiple complaint posts on the Destiny Reddit front page. These had and still have hundreds of comments and thousands of upvotes. Most of these complaints revolve around a single topic that is currently on the Guardians’ minds: The endgame of Destiny 2.
Complaints like these are frequently seen:
- There is too little to do in the endgame, and the variety is lacking.
- The token system is boring and far too dominant. People want gear drops after activities, not tokens.
- The PvP is monotonous. Even events like Iron Banner are basically just regular quick matches with different tokens as rewards.
- Since there are no more “God Rolls” but fixed weapon perks, the hunt for the best weapon rolls, which motivated players for a long time in Destiny 1, has vanished.
- In Destiny 2, players are overwhelmed with exotics. Many Guardians have already completed their collections and have no reasons to log in daily.
The list could easily be extended further. What most Guardians are concerned about: They expected the endgame in Destiny 2 to be more motivating. Compared to Destiny 1, there are several steps back here.
Now Bungie is reacting to all this feedback and criticism.
Bungie discusses the endgame internally
The community manager Cozmo dedicates a whole section in the current “This Week at Bungie” to this endgame criticism.
He writes that since the launch of Destiny 2, there has been a lot of feedback about the game across the vastness of the internet. He himself has always kept an eye on the feedback forum at Bungie, but also on all other channels where Guardians share their ideas.
Some topics are quite broad, like “Ways to make the Crucible more fun”, while other posts are more specific, such as “Add a way to delete multiple shaders at once.”
At Bungie, they read as many suggestions as possible. This also caught the developers’ attention: There have been numerous discussions about the endgame and how to improve it.
Cozmo also shares: At this moment, these endgame discussions are taking place in the Bungie studio as well. They are listening to the feedback, but they still need time to sort everything out and work on plans for the future.
Soon, they will be able to say more about it. Until then, Guardians are encouraged to keep the discussions about the endgame going.
In other words, changes to the endgame are in planning. One may wonder when these will come and how the endgame will change as a result. Will Bungie turn the right screws to satisfy the Guardians?
What do you think needs to change urgently in the endgame?
Soon, a new endgame activity will be added – despite the exploit:
