Destiny 2 devs promise \u201chuge changes\u201d coming in Season 11 and beyond BungieBungie has announced plans to take Destiny 2 in a new direction in Season 11 and beyond, after their hugely-popular title copped a hefty helping of backlash from the community due to a series of \u201clackluster\u201d content drops in 2020 so far. After Bungie\u2019s highly-publicized divorce from publisher Activision in January, the developers have been flying solo on their looter-shooter franchise. Fans expected the split to refresh the struggling franchise. It seems to have done the opposite. There have been a few wins for the devs. Destiny\u2019s competitive playlist Trials of Osiris made its long-awaited return in Season 10. Unfortunately, the response was lukewarm. Some fans have even gone as far as to demand Activision return. Basically, it\u2019s panic stations for Destiny. The game itself has benefited from the decision to take it free-to-play, but overall the mood has soured. Bungie\u2019s switch from expansions to new season passes is at the forefront of community outcry. The ongoing backlash has sparked movement in Bungie\u2019s ranks. Community manager Dylan \u2018dmg04\u2019 Gafner promised \u201chuge changes\u201d on the way, while director Luke Smith confirmed a move away from their much-hated \u201cFOMO\u201d strategy. Bungie unveils \u2018new direction\u2019 for Destiny in next seasons According to production director Justin Truman, who addressed concerns in a dev blog post earlier this week, Bungie would be \u201ctrying something a little different\u201d to win back the host of fans streaming away from the game. \u201cThere\u2019s been a growing list of concerns with the game lately \u2014 Trials [of Osiris], the rise in PC cheaters, our new Seasonal model, the balance between rewards you earn vs. items you buy. We\u2019ve been closely watching,\u201d he revealed. Another of the game\u2019s community managers, Cozmo, echoed Truman\u2019s sentiment. He added in a Reddit thread Bungie was \u201cwell aware\u201d fans were experiencing \u201ca lot of bounty fatigue right now,\u201d and confirmed plans to change that. When could these \u201chuge changes\u201d arrive in Destiny 2? Unfortunately, none of the Bungie voices speaking out have confirmed when these planned changes may ship. There have been some vague dates set, however: \u201cthe arrival of Season 12\u201d was mentioned by Smith on Twitter. \u201c[We already have] a lot of good stuff in Destiny,\u201d the franchise director also said. \u201cThere is also a long way to go before we have it in a place we are truly proud of. We are going to be talking about next steps in the coming weeks.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/thislukesmith\/status\/1253443978948571136?s=20 It\u2019s not a lot to go off \u2014 especially without any hard and fast details on what is planned to fix Destiny \u2014 but it\u2019s certainly still cause for celebration. For Bungie to break radio silence, they must have realized they had to act, and fast. For now, Guardians will have to make do with the current event playing out in the online FPS series, the \u201cGuardian Games.\u201d These Olympics-like challenges have pitted Warlocks, Hunters, and Titans together in a series of bounty-based trials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
