The Destiny 2 director announced a change in content strategy for Crucible mode. Instead of releasing maps gradually over the year, they will now concentrate on creating a comprehensive free map pack, providing diverse and specialized experiences all at once in the coming year.
Apart from the Crucible segment, numerous other aspects have been addressed, including:
– The recorded showcase on August 22 was produced some time ago and isn’t a response to the State of the Game (SOTG) or recent feedback.
– The showcase will primarily focus on the narrative, location, and briefly touch on potential alterations to the live service post-The Final Shape.
– New game modes will be integrated into the core Player vs. Player experience.
– The reward structure for competitive points will transition to a more straightforward system where the outcome of winning or losing carries greater significance.
– Bungie is establishing a dedicated team for PvP strikes.
– Armor is generally divided into three categories: Aspirational (raids, dungeons, trials), Narrative (seasonal and ritual items), and Silver (Eververse sets).
