ALL HAIL CHRISTOPHER BARRETT, SAVIOUR OF DESTINY 2

*AND HIS TEAM So everyone remember Chris? That emo dude with nice shoes from House of Wolves and then Rise of Iron. Well, basically, in my opinion, he was one of the developers that started to make D1 a better game. House of Wolves was (again in my opinion) the start of the turning point for the fundamental changes D1 would go through, for the better. Sir Barrett blesses us once again. All hail the king. 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.   There's more we're working on. We'll talk again soon.  -Barrett

  • My honest toxic free opinion: I am somewhat happy that they have said something, but it all seemed so vague that I almost wonder if they have even started on those above mentioned changes. Also, given this game's current state, I feel as though their idea of "better" is pretty questionable. For them, better rewards for a loot sector for example may seem positive at first, however it may something as small as +1 planetary token and +1 blue. With regard to the exotics, yes duplicates are an issue, but fixing that will not make existing exotics any more special. They're already bland and forgetful as they are now. Any changes to crucible (which is what I really look forward to) are not the ones we really want, i.e., 6v6, rumble etc. It will still be the same 4v4 Mida firing squad meta. The "Meta Multi-Tool" In my personal opinion this game needs a massive (and I mean massive) influx of weapons and armor. Weapons and armor that are special, unique and fun. Give me planet specific armor and weapons crafted from its own materials. Can you imagine a dwarf star sword, tungsten armor? How awesome would that be? The current loot pool is an afterthought of bland weapons and armor-not to mention that it's also very little. How many weapons in the D2 loot pool are you actually excited for? The only ones I thought were cool were coldheart (reminds me of captain cold, I am a huge flash fan lol) and sweet business (who doesn't love a friggin mini-gun) Please make the game more diverse and complex at least at end game. I hope that is what you're referring to when you mentioned something to do for hardcore players.
