In Destiny 2, many players have been looking forward to finally forging their own God Rolls. With the announced weapon crafting in Witch Queen, this should not be a problem, but players have been deprived of much of their freedom due to many restrictions. Bungie plans to change this soon.
How have players been restricted? For Witch Queen, Bungie promised huge freedom regarding finding your God Roll as a weapon. They implemented the weapon forge, where Guardians can assemble their favorite gun using unlocked plans. However, Guardians are now hindered by these restrictions from enjoying the crafting process.
High and particularly recurring costs incurred during the reshaping hinder the Guardians’ creativity. Many players called for the removal of these “fun brakes” to finally enjoy the game. Bungie has heard the frustrated cries and is now working on more freedom for the Guardians.
Many changes to offer you more freedom
What is changing? Bungie intends to make the forge significantly more interesting for a lot more players with a patch next week. The following changes are planned:
- All materials will be increased from 250 to 1000 units
- Neutral element will be increased from 8500 to 10000 units
- In the upcoming season, all materials except neutral, resonance, and ascendant alloy will be removed.
- Many of the extractable materials conflicted with the rare ascendant alloy – Therefore, all legendary materials will be removed in Season 17
However, some things are still being monitored, and Bungie is far from finished with the adjustments. The development team is keeping an eye on the following discussions:
- The costs of the reshapes
- The frequency of obtaining a deep sight resonance weapon
- Giving players more control over acquiring specific weapon plans
When will the changes be active? Bungie announced in the TWaB that the changes will take effect with Patch 4.0.0.4. This will roll out on Tuesday, March 22, and temporarily put the servers into rest mode. However, we will be there to support you with a server down article at that time.
What do you think about the changes? Do you believe that the weapon crafting is finally heading in the right direction, or do you find the adjustments too little? Let us know in the comments!
