Bungie addresses the topic of Prestige trophies, HDR on the PlayStation 4, as well as known issues in Destiny 2.
One topic that has made particularly big waves in recent days is: If you haven’t purchased the new expansion Curse of Osiris, you no longer have access to the Prestige activities of Destiny 2: These are locked for non-buyers.
This meant, in consequence, that the trophy / achievement “The Prestige” has become unattainable and thus the Platinum trophy can no longer be earned.
Bungie has now commented on this and other issues.
Trophies and Achievements in Destiny 2 without Curse of Osiris
If you haven’t purchased Curse of Osiris, you have no chance of obtaining the Prestige achievement (and thus the Platinum trophy on PS4) in Destiny 2. Bungie has announced that they are aware of this issue and are working on a solution.
This represents a change in direction compared to earlier. There were similar difficulties and protests back in Destiny 1 in 2015. At that time, Bungie sat out such problems.
How exactly Bungie’s solution will look is not known. They will inform us as soon as there is something new on this matter.
HDR on the PlayStation 4 Pro
Many PS4 players were surprised after the launch of the expansion that HDR was not activated, even though it was mentioned in the patch notes. HDR allows for more realistic colors and a better picture.
Bungie plans to fix this error with the next update next week. It should be done by December 12.
Other Known Issues
Furthermore, Bungie addressed other known issues that they are working hard to resolve:
- Some players are unable to reach the pillars of the public event on Mercury and die as soon as they are launched into the air by cannons. This affects PC players who play Destiny 2 with more than 60 fps.
- Players may find themselves unable to join heroic adventures. The notification “already active” appears.
- Guardians who have earned more than 84 emblems may not see any further emblem. It will not display.
- Bungie is investigating reports that there are increased frame rate stuttering or performance drops on PC.
- Players may lose access to previously owned items if they infuse items with a higher level requirement than their character’s current level allows.
- It may occur that players have to fast travel to the Lighthouse after completing adventures in the Always Forest to leave the activity.
What do you think about this? Are you affected by some of the mentioned issues?
