There is more timid new information about Destiny 2. This time it is vague and touches on gameplay aspects.
Bungie is currently revealing new information about Destiny 2 piece by piece. This is done through a cooperation with the site IGN. In the last few days, there have been two videos with new info about the social space, the Farm, and the general vision behind Destiny 2. We learned that the toughest activities will be loadout-locked.
Yesterday there was no video from IGN, but some “mixed information” in a sort of mini-preview report.
Apparently, IGN was able to test Destiny 2 outside of public events. This information is new – or at least noteworthy:
- There will be engrams in Destiny, which will then be deciphered. No more information has been provided. In Destiny 1, players received random item drops in this way.
- There will be a “light level” in Destiny 2 again – this is the level system of Destiny. Apparently, Bungie is still fine-tuning this and remains vague on the topic.
- One of the biggest changes affects PvP – all modes will be switched to 4vs4. IGN says Bungie has managed to keep the high pace from the first part. Control is now even faster than before. They also rave about a new PvP mode.
- Importantly, the new “milestone” system, through which players should always be able to recognize how they are making progress. You can open the map and check what you need to do to reach the next milestone. Players should always keep their next goal in mind. The path to improve the character should be much clearer than in Destiny 1.
- The story is much better integrated into the game. Now you can experience the background of the world of Destiny while playing normally. For example, during a patrol on Nessus, you received a side quest to find recordings from previous scouts. Through this side quest, the author learned more about the background story of Destiny.
- Flashpoints are a new PvE activity, on the level of Nightfall. They change weekly. Players will complete tasks at such a focal point and be rewarded for it. There will also be PvP events with “Call to Arms.” These also belong to the “milestone system.”
Mein MMO says: Many of the developers’ statements run like a common thread through the reporting: more clarity in the game itself, everything should be readable and accessible.
Players should no longer need outside sources to find their way around, but Destiny 2 should tell them everything that is known.
There was only vague information – overall, the author from IGN, who was able to play Destiny 2, sounds confident that it will be a good game.
It’s time for the beta to start so we can convince ourselves.
