In Destiny 2, collectors and explorers among you have something to do. Bungie is planning something.
Bungie’s Game Director Christopher Barrett proves that sometimes it doesn’t take many words to excite a community positively.
On Twitter, a user asked whether Bungie will introduce collectible items like dead ghosts in Destiny 2 again. And Barrett replied shortly and concisely: Yes.
This “Yes” led to different reactions: Many Guardians cheered that the dead ghosts will finally return. That there will finally be something to discover and collect when exploring the worlds of Destiny 2 off the beaten paths. In Destiny 1, the dead ghosts were sometimes well-hidden items that helped complete the Grimoire.
However, there was also a reaction from Community Manager Cozmo, who dampened the enthusiasm a bit:
Collectibles yes, dead ghosts no?
Cozmo responded to Barrett’s “Yes” that it might not mean “exactly dead ghosts”. But definitely something for collectors.
Then Barrett spoke up again: He wants to clarify that future expansions will add more collectibles and hidden secrets to the game.
As Barrett speaks of “expansions,” a user quipped that it is typical for Bungie that Guardians will surely have to pay for it. Barrett replied again shortly and concisely: No.
In conclusion, there is currently a Game Director creating confusion with very brief statements and a Community Manager meandering with his tweets. But one thing seems certain: In the future, there will be new collectibles and more hidden secrets in Destiny 2.
What about the blog post about the future of Destiny 2?
Today, Thursday, January 11th, a detailed blog post is set to be published, in which the developers will discuss the direction Destiny 2 will take in 2018. They want to address all the feedback and criticism from the past months.
Due to the time difference, this post will probably not appear in this country until the night from Thursday to Friday; we will report on it promptly.
Today around 9 AM, Barrett tweeted that he is finishing up the blog post. Afterward, he answered a few questions:
- Yes, it will be a long blog post
- Yes, they will talk about the Crucible
- Yes, the Rumble mode will be mentioned
- Yes, they will discuss weapon mods and armor mods
Interesting: Destiny 2: Is Rumble coming back soon?
