The community of Destiny 2 reacts to the new announcement of an announcement with skepticism. Next week, the hour of truth awaits.
The heart of the Destiny community beats in the reddit forum. The mood there has been worse than ever in recent days.
However, Destiny 2 is not in a content drought as it usually is when the atmosphere is tense, but Bungie is in the middle of an announcement marathon. The new DLC “Curse of Osiris” is being presented. But that doesn’t seem to interest anyone that much.
Fans are struggling with the underlying issues in Destiny 2: The loot system feels stale. Many fans are angry with Bungie – also because of the ongoing silence. They want honest communication to finally take place. Bungie should finally respond to the feedback that has built up since the release.
EXP shitstorm affects the mood
Additionally, there is a full-blown crisis: Fans accuse Bungie of having cheated regarding the EXP with fraudulent intent. While high EXP amounts were displayed in the interface, they were not credited in reality, but the EXP counts were scaled down.
It is suspected: EXP are being kept low so that players buy Glimmer engrams in the cash shop. Normally, players receive a Glimmer engram for free at every level-up after reaching the maximum level. The EXP scarcity in Destiny 2 increases the temptation to spend real money in the cash shop.
This contradicts the announcement of great EXP events or even promotional actions for items that advertised bonus EXP.
Some players feel: This was a veiled attempt at fraud by Bungie that has been exposed. Bungie subsequently referred to it as a “bug” and disabled the system. Many angry Guardians are not satisfied with that. They wish for a scandal to be triggered. Especially in the atmosphere heated by Star Wars Battlefront 2, many want to see blood. Just as EA opponents alarmed Disney, Bungie opponents now call for informing Kellogg’s about the EXP issues.
In short: The fans are pretty fed up.
Skepticism after the announcement of an announcement
In this excitement, a tweet from Game Director Luke Smith just landed. He announced that next week the system changes that the December update will bring will be presented. Additionally, the makers of Destiny 2 will face the community’s critical questions.
However, even this announcement of an announcement is currently not enough to calm the waves.
Many fans say: “This is now a fateful hour for Bungie.”
However, currently it seems that the mood in the forums is so bad that many want to wait and see what the announcement really brings. The fans apparently are no longer willing to give a trust deposit here:
- While there is hope that solutions for the deep-rooted problems will be presented and they are glad that a reaction is coming at all. They hope that Bungie at least takes some steps in the right direction.
- However, many skeptics assume that real solutions are still months away and do not expect too much from the December patch.
