Destiny 2 News Coming This Week On "Where We Are Headed," Director Teases

And it seems like it'll be a response to public feedback.

33 Comments

Over the past couple of months, Bungie has published blog posts, held livestreams, and taken to Twitter to address some of the more contentious issues surrounding Destiny 2 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Responding to public feedback and frustration about Bungie's perceived lack of transparency, the studio has stated an intention to be more open. Recently, the developer revealed that it will talk about the future of the game on Thursday, likely with a heavy emphasis on player feedback.

On Twitter, game director Christopher Barrett stated that he does, in fact, read and watch as much feedback as possible across many platforms. And, presumably based on what he's read, he also announced that he'll discuss some of what's in store for Destiny 2 in 2018 later this week.

Now Playing: Destiny 2 Weekly Update Arms Dealer Nightfall and Flashpoint EDZ - January 9th

"For anyone curious--I read Bungie forums, I read Reddit, I read Twitter, I watch Twitch," he wrote. "I also play Destiny. I share your love of the game. I'll talk about where we are headed Thursday."

This is likely in reference to the "development update" that Barrett and Bungie teased last week, although what it'll detail is unknown. It's possible that we might get at least a hint about the next expansion for the game. Recently, a PlayStation Store page leaked that showed Destiny 2: Gods of Mars as the next DLC pack, but Bungie has yet to say anything official about it yet.

Hey Bungie, you should just trash what you're doing now, and turn Destiny into a Halo type storyline game with a "HUUUUGE" single player, or multiplayer campaign that can branch off in any direction with some light grinding in between.

next DLC add something sizeable like bigger and better

more story quests with real player interaction not just stupid fetch quests gosh they are annoying

maybe some easter eggs would be cool

kick ass weapons that actually have meaning like you know in the old days of the Vex Mythoclast

Better raid update new one too.

Trophy / Achievement support (easter egg titles and artwork for these would also be a nice touch)

Hopefully the upcoming content is more enthralling than the last DLC......end game content consisting half a raid and grinding endlessly for cultures and amplifiers for a handful a mediocre weapons.

Not many players seemed to stick around for that, unfortunately. I am rooting for some good news. I don't WANT to see a game fail. But they need to step up their content, otherwise its done for.

They need content. They want to engage millions of people to play this game for ten years but Destiny 1 ended up with about 2-3 days of gameplay content and Destiny 2 has about 6 hours from start to finish of the first expansion. What is there to do? Crucible is BORING. Raids are pointless. All you get is gear that would have made the raid easier. Strikes aren't even integral to or integrated with the story. They could just be skipped altogether and wouldn't be missed, just like the raid. It's shocking to think that they are really this obsessed with microtransactions. Video games existed at wildly profitable margins for decades without DLC and microtransactions. So this idea that this is done to enhance player experience is a lie. They saw an opportunity to extend the profits beyond the 59.99 each player pays for the actual game and for some reason the public just fell for it. They're not gonna change until everyone leaves.

@chocolatefan:

Agreed. Iron Banner sucks. The strikes are forgettable and boring. They should have created a new race and the Taken should be nowhere to be seen. The DLC was garbage. They really screwed the pooch on this one.

They need to bring back some story, and purpose, like they use to have with Halo.

Destiny 1.5 just isn't cutting it. All you that bought this game, especially if you paid full retail price for this BETA, I got only one thing to say to you - SUCKERS!!! Bungie got greedy, and had too many lofty ideas they couldn't fulfill on.

HEY BUNGIE DIRECTOR - KEEP THE GRAPHICS, RETURN TO A HALO TYPE MINDSET.

I hate to say it, but unless there is a mass player boycott of all microtransactions/loot-boxes, then this is the way the gaming industry is going to go. I'm expecting a LOT of Destiny 2 / Battlefront / AC: Origins - style loot box controversies over the next year or so. Problem is, they are SO lucrative. We've all seen streamers dropping $100 at a time on MXTs, because the "loot box opening" elements of streams are so popular. With MXTs being so financially yielding, I don't think they're going to go away anytime soon, regardless of how vocal the protests are.

@tom_cat_01: I finished AC origins with, at least, one single yellow weapon (higher grade) of each type. If every Microtransctions was like AC, it would be alright. But yeah, they need to go away.

Sheesh, so much negativity. I, for one, enjoy the game, really enjoy playing with my friends, and appreciate that the team is regularly addressing questions/issues/feedback. Are they going to fix everything a select group whines about 100x more than other groups? No. They are thinking about the overall direction they want for the game, and trying to implement changes that are going to appeal to the majority of players and the direction of gameplay. If you want to provide feedback and give Bungie some direction, how about providing something constructive; Not just all caps, poor spelling, run-on sentences, and a bunch of "F this, F that, F you."

@cody20: But you could be playing something else with those friends and having more fun, something that doesn't treat you like a walking wallet and lying to you repeatedly.

@cody20: I am greatly disappointed with Destiny 2 for the following reasons.

1. they want to take more money from its players as opposed to doing it like they did before. I don't like any company atm EA, Bungie or other AAA gaming company tries to hit my wallet, in game that I have already shelled out a lot of cash for.

2. Content. When we got this game, I thought it was going to be epic, but 1/2 my friends couldn't play the game with me because they didn't spend the money for DLC. Also many of my friends thought the initial content was weak.

3. There are good games out there that I can play with all my friends that are cheaper, better and don't require me to get 6 people together in order play for better gear.

Don't get me wrong, I was a huge Destiny fan, I was one of the last of my friends to stop playing Destiny 2, but I am not going to shell out more money to play this game. I am too busy and have many bills to play to justify $30 for DLCs that have low content and ask for more money to get the better gear/weapons.

Glad you are having fun Cody, but you might be one of the few remaining in a dying game.

The Destiny franchise was designed to be a MMORPG with FPS gameplay. Destiny 1 was an FPS with "RPG-lite" elements. Destiny 2 then removed most of the "RPG-lite" elements and it is now just a shallow basic FPS that the community never wanted.

More end game PvE content would be great. More raids that are longer with a bunch of bosses would be nice. More new strikes would be cool.

That's one of the main reasons I stopped playing destiny 2. The content in that game isn't enough and/or gives me reason to go back to that content at all.

I feel like bungie needs to regularly release new PvE content or it just won't keep their fans sadly

Is it an issue of a refund for both 1 and 2? Admitting the franchise is a repetitive piece of shallow garbage Skinnner's rats could play?

I liked Destiny 1 but just can't get into 2. I haven't played in months... I'd like more content like the Taken King expansion, bounties that are easier to track and the ability to assign ALL 4 D-PAD emotes myself. I'm not holding my breath for any of it, though.

I never played Destiny 1, but I found Destiny 2 incredibly boring. Aside from some of the humor and interesting environments, the actual gameplay itself was incredibly stale and the aim-assist on PC made it a yawn-fest.

@Abberon: Can you not turn the aim assist off on the PC either? You can't on the console, which kinda bugs me, but I feel like I'd hate it with a mouse.

@Mogan: So... If you are straight using a Keyboard/Mouse on PC, there is no aim-assist. If you use a controller or XIM there is aim assist.

That leak you talk about was confirmed to be cheap fake. Just take a look how Destiny 2 logo is squashed and it overlaps the borders.

I'll bet that's been real informative and useful lately. : p
