Destiny 2: Bungie reveals plans for their future content
The MMO shooter sequel Destiny 2 launched on PC earlier this week, and Bungie aren't done with the game yet as they plan to add more to do in the future with updates.
Like many games, Destiny 2 features a large amount of things to do and see in the game but eventually you're going to run into a brick wall if you run into a lack of things to do. Fortunately Bungie are aware of the drought in some areas and will be looking to improve things in the future with new systems, better rewards, new PVP modes, more ways to spend currency and others. Speaking on their blog they revealed a little more about some of their planned ideas going forward.
Destiny 2 Future Content:
- New systems and rewards to give our most engaged players additional, optional pursuits.
- Better incentives for players who complete challenging Prestige activities.
- Better rewards and replay value for strikes, adventures, and Lost Sectors.
- Private matches for the competitive community (we are targeting early 2018).
- Crucible tuning like adjusted Supremacy scoring and better spawning rules.
- Better incentives for completing Crucible matches (and penalties for quitting competitive games).
- Continued improvements to Iron Banner and Faction Rallies, including uniqueness of rewards.
- Changes to make the mod economy more interesting and impactful.
- Ongoing improvements to Exotics, including adjustments to reduce instances of duplication.
- New ways to spend surplus currency and materials (looking at you Legendary Shards).
- An emote interface that allows players to equip Salty, Spicy Ramen, Six Shooter, and Flip Out all at the same time.
One of the biggest complaints that many users had when they reached the end game was running out of things to do, and it seems that Bungie is listening to the community by adding more to do with future updates. As we saw with the original game, content was delivered on a frequent basis and with them already pushing out content updates for Destiny 2 on a weekly basis, there's plenty to look forward to.
It's been in the wild for a few days but already a number of issues have hampered progress on the PC version of Destiny 2, with some unable to play. Here's a collection of current Known Issues for the game and status of some of the major problems that Bungie are currently working to fix.
Destiny 2 PC Launch: Known Issues
Since the release of Destiny 2 on PC, we have been recording verified issues within the Vital Information and Known Issues thread. The following is a list of confirmed issues that have come up since launch:
- SSSE3 Required: Destiny 2 will not run on processors without Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSSE3). PLEASE NOTE: We’ve seen a number of reports of crashes on CPUs that fall below our stated minimum specs (e.g. AMD Phenom II series). We are investigating the issue and will attempt to fix the crash, but these CPUs are below minimum spec and are not officially supported.
- AMD Vega crashes: We are aware of player-reported crashes at Mission Six for players using AMD Vega GPUs, and are we working with our partners to investigate this issue.
