Destiny 2‘S Renegades the December expansion promises modern goodies to earn, and that’s doubly so if you haven’t played the game in a while. Bungie is adding extremely generous bonuses for returning players as part of its upcoming rewards overhaul, aiming to attract a larger audience when player numbers reach historic lows.
Group of generous incentives announced in today This week in Destiny blog entry this is the first time Bungie has done something on this scale Destiny 2. Focusing on inactive guards, it heralds special rewards for completing orders – future job replacements.
WITH Renegades December 2 Destiny 2 players will automatically receive orders when logging in. They are optimized to take into account your equipment and activity preferences, which should be a “natural thing to do while playing.” Bungie has made assists provide progress on orders, albeit at a reduced rate, so you don’t necessarily have to fight teammates for kills.
Orders are divided into different tiers that affect the amount of lightweight dust received from each one. And as expected, there is a limit to how much you can earn from this resource in any given period. Joint orders grant 10 Bright Dust and Legendary 100 for each completion. There’s a catch, though: Your progress slows down significantly once you earn a total of 1,000 Dust per week from Regular and Legendary orders. At this point, regular orders do not drop dust, and legendary orders only drop 10 dust each – or 10 percent of their normal value.
If you’re lucky, you might get an exotic order that rewards 300 Dust when completed. But there’s a bigger catch: you can make money 6000 dust per season from this occasional order type, after which you will only receive 30 of this resource per completion. Daily and weekly challenges in the Portal also reward Bright Dust.
While the ordering system may have its advantages, it may also fail to inspire confidence in bored players, especially considering how some of the community views the studio’s efforts towards modern systems. “I literally said out loud, ‘Is this what they were working on? Another new system that no one asked for?'” asked one Reddit user. “A total waste of time constantly improving smaller game systems that work well. Bungie needs to innovate, not spin its tires in the mud.” another wrote.
The order system applies to everyone in the game, and current players also receive benefits if they complete a mission with a returning veteran. However, by far the sweetest part of the pot lies in the hands of those who return to the game.
Bungie provided additional incentives for maintainers to reinstall Destiny 2 in the section titled “Are you a returning player? Read this!” in a weekly blog post. Players who have not logged in or reached 30 levels in the Season Pass since then The edge of fate they qualify to become “returnees” with a package of benefits.
Returning players will gain more experience over the next six months, and completing the order may reward them with a gift (maximum 30). These may include Gear, Exotic Engrams, 1000 Bright Dust, and a special variant of Rite of the Nine’s beloved Nonary Engrams.
If you don’t qualify as a “returner”, playing with one of them will net you increased XP gains, extra portal engrams, a chance for an exclusive emblem, and possibly automatic order fulfillment when helping out, which doesn’t seem impressive at all compared to the reward for returning players.
Destiny 2 has trouble retaining players, especially since it is so controversial The edge of fate expansion. New return incentives could attract more guards, but that depends on how well they are implemented. Otherwise, the studio may risk losing both returning and faithful players.
