Destiny 2 players furious with \u201cpathetic\u201d August State of the Game update BungieThe Destiny 2 community doesn\u2019t appear all too thrilled with Bungie\u2019s newest State of the Game update, with many lashing out at the \u201cbad news\u201d while criticizing the lack of \u201cmeaningful\u201d changes. The Lightfall era of Destiny 2 has certainly been a turbulent one. From major backlash upon release due to its narrative shortcomings to criticism of everything from difficulty to seasonal events, the player base has been plenty vocal. After weeks of relative silence as devs gear up for The Final Shape showcase on August 22, Bungie looked to address its most avid players head-on with the August State of the Game post. It\u2019s here where devs all but marked the end of Gambit development while also outlining why new PVP content is sparse. In response to the lengthy update, players have now fired back once more, vocalizing their displeasure with the latest Bungie blog. First came more general criticism of the post as a whole. For some players on the game\u2019s Subreddit, they saw the lengthy writeup as a means of getting \u201call the bad news out the way\u201d before the upcoming showcase. The justification for said \u2018bad news\u2019 then had many others taking issue with Bungie\u2019s reasoning throughout. Whether it\u2019s their justification for the state of PVP or the lack of Gambit content, hundreds of players were left fuming by the blog post. \u201cMy favorite part is that they mentioned every single criticism people have had about the playlists and straight up said \u2018nah, it\u2019s too much effort\u2019 to each one,\u201d a player said. \u201cThis whole state of the game is just a bunch of \u2018yeah we hear your feedback but we\u2019re not going to do anything meaningful to address it,\u2019\u201d another chimed in. \u201cThe way this reads you\u2019d think they\u2019re a 30-person dev team struggling to make ends meet, always short on resources. This is pathetic.\u201d Meanwhile, others sounded off with specific points of feedback for the blog post. In particular, the lack of love for Gambit left some mourning the seemingly dying mode altogether. \u201cThey really just said we don\u2019t give a f*** about gambit,\u201d one player replied. \u201cThey\u2019re just like \u2018Oh you don\u2019t like Gambit? Well now you don\u2019t have to play it because we aren\u2019t doing a damn thing for it,\u2019\u201d another added. Similarly, others criticized choices made in regard to new armor sets. With Bungie detailing why a new vendor set in every expansion isn\u2019t possible, players questioned why premium sets for the Eververse store are. \u201cThe \u2018we can\u2019t do a new vendor set for every big expansion\u2019 hurts extra when they can do multiple Eververse sets, per season,\u201d one player highlighted. All up, many who engaged with the lengthy blog were left \u201cmind blown\u201d by the address from Destiny 2\u2019s devs. No doubt hearing the feedback loud and clear, the ball is now in Bungie\u2019s court to rebound in a big way with The Final Shape showcase in a few weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
