Destiny 2 will reward veterans specifically – “We remember”

The SF-MMO shooter Destiny 2 aims to be even more accessible and capture more players than the first part. However, veterans should be honored. Bungie promises “special things”.

Mark Noseworthy is the producer of Destiny – sort of the man in charge, who takes care of the organizational matters. In an interview with the US site Gamespot, Noseworthy says: “The hope is that Destiny 2 attracts many players who have never played Destiny before.” To achieve this, the game should be accessible and open for beginners.

If it becomes more accessible – doesn’t that annoy the veterans?

Precisely that could become a problem: If Destiny 2 is simplified to the extent that anyone can play it, veterans might be annoyed, who have spent a lot of time with the first part. If Destiny 2 becomes “too accessible for beginners”, it could lead to problems.

But Bungie wants nothing to do with that. “We don’t see it that way,” says Noseworthy. Instead, they believe: If new players join, it will be great for everyone. Destiny is a social game. You can play it solo and have great fun alone. But it becomes truly unique because other players are around. The more people play Destiny, the more special it is.

According to Noseworthy, the changes to the systems are also good for veterans. Some things will be different from Destiny 1 – even players who know everything will find enough that has changed.

“Special Things” for veterans – “We remember”

Interestingly, veterans from Destiny 1 will not be forgotten in Destiny 2. It has been announced that players who reached level 20 in Destiny 1 can carry over their character, but without level progression and equipment. However, that should not be all.

Noseworthy continues: “At some point in the future, we will probably say, here are some other achievements that you complete and that we notice. It is very important for us to let players know: We remember. We remember what you did and with whom. We have some special things in store.

Mein MMO says: Just reveal what there is. And woe betide you if it’s just an emblem.

It seems that there will at least be “some things” and also “special things” that will then be available as rewards. Perhaps Bungie is taking cues from the “Age of Triumph” record book and makes some of the rewards usable in Destiny 2 as well. That would actually make sense.
