Destiny 2: Warmind went live earlier this week, sending Guardians off to Mars to clear up a beef between an old machine and an ancient god. It also marks the start of Destiny 2 season 3, which includes some big changes to Exotics and PvP action. I haven't spent a lot of time with it yet but I like what I see so far, and the rollout seemed to go pretty well—but not entirely without trouble. Bungie said in the latest episode of This Week at Bungie that the following issues have been confirmed, and are being worked on: Clan XP Milestone Rewards: We have identified an issue where players are not receiving Powerful Engrams when completing the Clan XP Milestone. Players are instead rewarded with Legendary Engrams, granting rewards under 340 Power.Crucible Fireteam Matchmaking: Due to issues discovered at launch, Crucible Fireteam Matchmaking changes introduced in Update 1.2.0 were temporarily disabled. A portion of this feature has been enabled. This will slightly improve the … [Read more...] about Bungie details Destiny 2: Warmind issues, first hotfix slated for next week

What Destiny 2 Can Learn from Warframe
Bungie released Destiny back in 2014 that quickly became one of most played games of the year. The game saw players invest hundreds of hours into the game to uncover every possible secret that it had to offer. A few years later down the road, Bungie launched Destiny 2 and it felt like all those hours put in the 1st game did not matter at all. Warframe was not really a success story from the start. Only a few players played the game when it first released back in 2013. However, with the constant updates and improvements, the game grew steady and became one of the most played games out there. What Destiny 2 Can Learn From Warframe Bungie has not really been on top of their game when it comes to Destiny 2 – with lack of endgame content, microtransactions, lootboxes, etc. Obviously, Bungie had to face community backlash across the social media: You ruined this game catering to casuals and PVP players but the PVP is the worst of the 2. Everything feels weak Supers do not recharge as … [Read more...] about What Destiny 2 Can Learn from Warframe
Megaupload Founder Criticizes Bungie for Destiny 2’s Failures
It is no secret that Destiny 2 is a game that is struggling. The game’s playerbase has taken developer Bungie to task over several issues, saying that the company is doing a poor job of maintaining the game and making it feel worth their while. The situation is so dire that the Trials of the Nine player count hit a new low, indicating that fans are so disinterested that they have stopped playing altogether. One high profile Destiny 2 player who is also unhappy with the game is Kim Dotcom, the founder of file-sharing service Megaupload. On February 15, the Internet entrepreneur took to Twitter to criticize Bungie over its Destiny 2 efforts. Dotcom said that the developer has “ruined” his favorite game, has failed to provide “meaningful changes” to fix Destiny 2‘s problems, and has caused Destiny 2 players to drop the game in favor of Overwatch and Fortnite.

Destiny 2 Faction Rally tokens being severely throttled, Bungie promises adjustments
Bungie has successfully managed to upset Destiny 2 players once again, this time over the Faction Rally token earn rate. In keeping with the Destiny 2 theme of making a major change, not communicating it, and later apologising when players figure out what’s going on, Bungie has put a harsh limit on the number of tokens that can be earned per hour in the currently active Faction Rally event. This Faction Rally event, the first one in season 2, started off earlier this week. As with every Faction Rally, players pledge allegiance to one of the three factions, and the game awards tokens for doing activities in the name of that faction. Tokens can be used to increase a standing with a faction, which unlocks Engrams every time a new level is reached. Shortly after the event went live, Destiny 2 players discovered that they aren’t earning as many tokens as the previous event. The first activity that made player suspicious was Lost Sectors, after players saw that they were no … [Read more...] about Destiny 2 Faction Rally tokens being severely throttled, Bungie promises adjustments
