Bungie openly says they “missed the mark” on parts of Destiny 2’s Lightfall expansion
When I played through Destiny 2: Lightfall, I saw a lot of things slip through the cracks that shouldn’t have. It turns out I wasn’t alone, as even Bungie themselves have acknowledged many of these pratfalls in an open letter on a recent blog post.
Here’s the gist of what they had to say:
“With a solid amount of data now under our belts, it’s clear we missed the mark on some of our goals and needed to make updates based on constructive feedback. While the first batch of Guardian Ranks has proven to be an invaluable guide for New Lights, we want to improve the system for all players.”
For reference “New Lights” refers to new players. Bungie is noting that they managed to generally hit a good groove with the new player experience given some of the fundamental revamps of certain systems, but also let down some of their playerbase with other design choices. That sums up the fan reception to the expansion as a whole (with maybe a little more urgency as far as the community is concerned).
Bungie spent the rest of the blog post explaining how they’re going to improve the game from here on out, so let’s break things down.
Here’s a quick rundown of the massive bible of a blog post:
Artifact perk refunds, a better seasonal schedule that’s more packed, and buildcrafting (armor mods) are also getting tweaks in the future. So that’s a lot to fix!
It would be nice to see Bungie hit the mark more often the first time around, but given that they’re still around with this business model, something must be working.
