Atheon Controversy

Analysis 68 comments

Published on: Oct 18, 2014 @ 18:32 In Bungie’s latest weekly update, they outlined a few changes coming to Destiny. Most of the weapon changes they mentioned have been well received, especially the PvE buff for the Vex Mythoclast, since many people were disappointed when it got such a significant PvE nerf. Bungie stated that the Mythoclast will be “a weapon [people] can continue to rely on in the next Raid, Crota’s End.” What hasn’t been well received is the change to the Atheon encounter in the Vault of Glass.[divider] According to the update: Next week’s Hotfix is going to contain some fixes to

Analysis 17 comments

Boss Rewards

Analysis 27 comments

Published on: Oct 4, 2014 @ 13:09 In the recent Dev Notes announcement, Bungie explained that rewards currently don’t feel rewarding enough. Growing more powerful by acquiring new upgrades, gear or progression is central to Destiny’s player experience. Our goal is to always celebrate when this occurs, both as a reward in and of itself and to communicate to players what is going on. What they didn’t mention, which many people feel is an issue, is the fact that bosses don’t even drop loot. [divider]How about boss rewards? Any enemy in Destiny, of any level, is able to drop items or
