Bungie has announced some changes for Destiny 2 with the DLC Curse of Osiris. The community experts, known from YouTube and Twitch, are responding cautiously optimistic. It’s a step in the right direction, but not the necessary leap. The readers of Mein MMO view the changes in the update even more critically.

With Curse of Osiris, Destiny 2 will see the first adjustments from Bungie tomorrow in response to the partly harsh criticism from fans. How do the most well-known content creators from Twitch and YouTube react to the patch? And what do the readers of Mein MMO say about Bungie’s plans for Destiny 2?

Datto – “I find it hard to praise things just because they are like they were in Destiny 1”

Famous YouTuber Datto has posted a long analysis. The video has now collected about 300,000 views.

Datto sees the current state of Destiny 2 critically. To him, Destiny 2 has made too many concessions to casual players and lost sight of the players who truly make up Destiny: the veterans and hardcore gamers.

Now Bungie has the salad: The tourists are gone again, the regular players are upset and are taking to the barricades.

Datto generally finds Bungie’s changes good, but they are not enough for him. He believes they only make the game better in the short term, but deeper systemic changes are necessary.

While the armor ornaments certainly correspond to Datto’s ideas, they only bring Destiny 2 up to the standards of Destiny 1. He finds it hard to praise Bungie for something that was already in Destiny 1.

Datto can make little of the changes to make Xur even more generous.

Despite all the criticism, he acknowledges Bungie’s core message that they want to focus more on hardcore gamers in the future. Datto expects the deeper systemic changes with the spring 2018 with DLC 2 or only in the fall 2018 with the expansion for Destiny 2.

Between Satisfaction and Criticism, What the Content Creators Say

The site PC Gamer has collected a series of tweets from known Destiny 2 personalities. The reactions range from:

• “I think it’s good, but it’s a shame that PvP-Ranked won’t come until 2018.” (Gothalion),
• to “Well, it’s a step in the right direction, but not a leap – endgame goals are missing.” (Tefty),
• to criticisms that important topics are missing and Destiny 2 needs deeper systemic changes. (TripleWreck)

In general, most feel that it is important to communicate openly. The announcement of “Ranked PvP Matches” for December 2018 has been positively received.

This is What the Mein MMO Readers Say

In comments to our articles about the planned changes, the mood of the Mein MMO readers is rather negative.

• Petit Oiseau complains: In my opinion, Bungie has listened, but not understood. They are missing the incentive of weapons like Gjallarhorn.
• Texx1010 thinks it won’t be enough. The players are already gone.
• Cerberus feels that Bungie has pushed the carrot in his back instead of holding it in front of his face.
• Bienenvogel thinks: You have to start somewhere. It’s a shame that Bungie messed up the launch so badly, but at least now they want to fix it.

• Deli Kan wants Destiny 1 back: Iron Banner and Trials should return to D1. After that, Bungie can freely introduce “Masterworks.” He doesn’t care about that.
• KingK feels these are steps in the right direction, but too small and insignificant for him.
• vvV AmNesiA Vvv says he is more interested in the balance changes with Season 2. He hopes for better PvP playability.
• dh feels something is still missing for long-term motivation. For the 4 or 5 weapons he really uses, he will get the Masterworks. For his beloved future war cult, the ornaments too. But that seems to be it with the DLC.
