Just before the arrival of update 1.1.4, Game Director Chris Barrett speaks out and promises the community soon answers to random rolls and weapon slots in Destiny 2 These are two of the biggest points of criticism that arose even before launch.
The update milestone 1.1.4 for Destiny 2 is already knocking at the door. Only a few hours separate players from the long-awaited March patch, which will make many changes and adjustments to Destiny 2. This aims to make the game more attractive for Guardians again.
Shortly before the release of the update, Destiny 2’s Game Director – Chris Barrett – spontaneously addressed some important questions from the community on Reddit (link to the Reddit post) The answers will likely arouse curiosity among many fans – if not even delight them.
The focus is clear – Destiny 2 should become a hobby again
A fan asked in a discussion thread on Reddit about Bungie’s plans on whether Destiny 2 should become a time-consuming ongoing occupation for many Guardians again or rather lean towards a game where people do not feel “forced” to invest several hours daily.
In response to this question, Barrett provided a clear answer: Bungie wants to re-establish Destiny 2 as a hobby where there is always something new to do and cool, even more powerful stuff to chase.
Random rolls and the old weapon slot system – Guardians deserve answers
Furthermore, it was asked whether random rolls, in the same form known from Destiny 1, will also find their way into the successor.
It was also raised whether there is a chance that the old weapon system from the first Destiny title could eventually replace the current system in Destiny 2.
Here, Barrett was somewhat more reserved but pointed out that both random rolls and weapon slots are very high on Bungie’s priority list and promised that final answers from Bungie can be expected in the near future. After all, they owe the players these answers.
Sven thinks: The word “promise” holds enormous significance here. The studio is usually very cautious and sparing with such binding statements. If Bungie did not have a real solution to present in the foreseeable future, they likely would have avoided this terminology.
Furthermore, it should not be overlooked that Chris Barrett is not known for throwing around clichés, empty words, or false promises. So far, he has not given the community a reason to distrust his words. On the contrary – his honest and direct manner makes him so popular among the community.
It indeed looks like fans will soon receive answers to some of their most pressing questions, which will significantly influence the future of Destiny 2.
What do you think? Will random rolls and the old weapon slot system possibly return?
