For the MMO shooter Destiny , much depends on the next DLC “House of Wolves.” We asked the mein-MMO community what matters most to them. And over 3000 players voted.
A week ago around the same time we asked you if “House of Wolves” is already the last chance for the MMO shooter Destiny. The shooter is known to be a franchise that aims to last 10 years.
2400 voted on whether House of Wolves is the last chance for Destiny
Your reaction to the article was overwhelming. To the question of whether “House of Wolves” is already the last chance, nearly 2400 readers voted.
- 1055 votes, 44%, said: No, it is not the last chance yet.
- A more critical view was held by 38% of the votes: Yes, it is the last chance for Destiny, they said.
- 18% were undecided.
The sentiment is neck and neck. This can also be seen in the comments. Here, most lean towards clear poles. For some players, the game is worn out, they see empty friend lists and know the strong competition that lurks for Destiny with Witcher 3, The Division, and numerous other games. And the criticisms known since the release are repeated and confirmed: Uninspired story, too much repetition, too little new content. If Bungie disappoints with the next DLC, they say they will be gone for sure.
Others believe in Bungie. They are already grateful for the many hours of fun that Destiny has provided and believe that Bungie will still explore the potential and that many things will improve with House of Wolves and many will return.
What is most important to you for House of Wolves?
And what do you wish for House of Wolves? Almost 3100 Guardians voted within a week. And: It is incredibly balanced. Of the four options we gave you, even the least chosen received 20% of the votes.
- Most wished for more exotic bounties, treasure maps, events, and adventures. So more to do for solo players. 30% of the votes went to that.
- More story and atmosphere received just under a quarter of the votes (24.3%). Every fourth person wants Bungie to improve here especially.
- Almost as many (23.4%) wish for a focus on replayability of strikes, as well as tougher bosses. Bungie should also take another look at the older raids: Crota’s End and The Vault of Glass.
- And still, one in five of you (19.4%) wants Bungie to focus on the new raid, providing better content here with interesting enemies and challenges.
You can see that the four points we offered are very close together. Players have different priorities here; everyone plays the game a bit differently and wishes that Bungie improves in other areas.
Many also demanded several of the points we proposed.
It is clear: The community is divided, but far from hopeless. Even if it is important for Destiny and Bungie to deliver a DLC “House of Wolves” that brings more than “Darkness Lurks,” the fate of the franchise is not yet dependent on it. They have likely already reached too many players. However, it is certain that many will carefully observe whether Bungie can and will deliver. Some Destiny players have surely been lost along the way up to this point. Whether they can be won back seems questionable, given the sometimes drastic views.
