Destiny 2 players accuse Bungie of \u201cruining\u201d Altars of Summoning with modifiers BungieDestiny 2 players are not happy after the latest gameplay modifier for the seasonal activity \u2013 Altars of Summoning \u2013 was revealed. This follows last week\u2019s modifier that proved equally unpopular with both limiting Guardians. Season of the Witch has seen two new seasonal activities introduced, Savathun\u2019s Spire and Altars of Summoning. Outside of the rotating secret chests and elemental surges, Savathun\u2019s Spire remains similar from week to week. However, the same cannot be said of Altars of Summoning which welcomes a new gameplay modifier every week. These modifiers change how to approach the activity with some going as far as to punish certain playstyles and builds. It\u2019s these gameplay modifiers that have been frustrating Destiny 2 players, with some going as far as to accuse Bungie of \u201cruining\u201d the seasonal activity with them. Destiny 2\u2019s Altars of Summoning \u201cruined\u201d by gameplay modifiers Destiny 2 players have become frustrated by the Grounded gameplay modifier that is active in Altars of Summoning. One upset Guardian posted on Reddit: \u201cI sure do love Bungie ruining their own activities through putting the worst possible modifiers on them.\u201d The post elaborated: \u201cLast week attrition, now this week with Grounded + Void Threat is even worse! Altars of Summoning is a great activity, please can it not be sabotaged with modifiers that actively make it a lot less fun?\u201d Several replies agreed with the sentiment, questioning Bungie\u2019s decision: \u201cBungie has demonstrated they can make something hard while still being fun. This is not it especially when you cram 7 Shriekers in the room and Lucent moths on every other enemy.\u201d Some focused their criticism more on Grounded itself: \u201cBungie: Actively tried to make Aerial combat a thing and put perks on Exotic armor to help with it. Also Bungie: Keeps Grounded as a modifier.\u201d The Grounded hatred continued with other Guardians stating \u201cSuspend build Hunter with Grounded on is as fun as gliding your balls across sandpaper.\u201d and \u201cI can\u2019t believe Grounded still exists.\u201d Not everyone was as concerned by the modifier, but rather the lack of pay off: \u201cIf the intention is to ruin the activity with modifiers then the developers should buff the rewards to compensate. No one would complain about dealing with Attrition if they were showered in Red Border weapons.\u201d Gameplay modifiers have been a long-standing feature of Destiny 2, serving to increase an activity\u2019s difficulty and force players to adjust their loadouts. With some proving so unpopular though it might be time for Bungie to make changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
