In the MMO shooter Destiny, there is a new blog post from the creators Bungie. They apologize for the troll incidents of the Cryptarch, briefly address fan theories about the development history, and openly discuss a raid finder.
The weekly update on Destiny is a wild mix of fan questions, fun, and information.
Engram change leads to purple rain in Destiny
In the first half of the blog, it is mainly about the Cryptarch Rahool. He did not realize how cruel he had played with the feelings of the fans in recent weeks. They came to him with rare and legendary engrams, and he rewarded them with green items. As a result, he appeared like a troll, who amused himself over the self-generated frustration. That has now been made clear to him. The Cryptarch has recognized how cruel he was with the feelings of the item seekers, and he apologizes for it.
Alongside some pics of the Cryptarch’s troll incidents, Bungie quoted the immortal poet, who was once known as Prince, regarding the current emotional states of the engrams.
I never meant to cause you any sorrow.I never meant to cause you any pain.I only wanted to one time to see you laughing.I only wanted to see you.Laughing in the purple rain.Purple rain, purple rain!
No comment on conspiracy theories
Last week, many theories emerged about Bungie and the origin story. However, they will not comment on that. Every player and every developer wants Destiny to be a better game than it is now. Dealing with rumors and gossip or hanging onto wild theories does not bring the goal any closer.
It is more important to focus on what lies ahead for the game. At some point, the blog says, the time may come to revisit the development process of Destiny, but that is then not the job of the community manager or this blog.
Thus, Bungie addresses the fan theories that the now finished Destiny is the result of some last-minute changes that cut story elements and entire zones from the game.
Raid Finder is a topic
Matchmaking, the bringing together of players, in Destiny is a big issue. Here there are some complaints from fans about why this does not work in raids. Many players have trouble finding a group for the Glass Chamber or the weekly twilight strikes.
This is a difficult topic, as the blog states, because the raid is intended for a team that works together and goes through thick and thin. However, Bungie has heard some strange stories about completely strangers managing the “Glass Chamber” together.
Currently, internal discussions are taking place about whether to extend matchmaking to the difficult challenges in Destiny.
Although it didn’t make it into the blog post, it is our video of the week:
