| A spokesperson for the developer clarified that this system has not been implemented in-game as of yet, referring chiefly to the recent release of Destiny 2 and the forthcoming release of Call of Duty W | Bungie's reputation with gamers is hanging by a thread judging by how they've been treating their consumer base lately. And the problem is that this isn't anything new for them... or for Activision. The developer employed the same shady tactics in the first Destiny game, and they got away with it, for the most part, which is why they've brought the same mechanic back for the sequel. But now that the gaming industry is under fire for its predatory tactics, with EA bearing the brunt of the industry's consumer backlash , Bungie deciding to use the same mechanics for Destiny 2 may just tip their fan base against t |

| Although the release of the new expansion should be a source of excitement, Curse of Osiris has been heavily criticized. The main point of contention is that with the release of The Curse of Osiris , Destiny 2 has now locked some of the content for players, particularly one of the end-game raids. This means it's impossible to access certain parts of the game without owning the DLC. This is notable because the content was free to access before the release of the expansion . This is the second major controversy to hit Destiny 2 as the game was previously taken to task for "rigging" the XP system . Luckily, Bungie does seem to be hearing Destiny gamers complaints and is taking steps to address t | "For instance, the microtransaction engine may match a more expert/marquee player with a junior player to encourage the junior player to make game-related purchases of items possessed/used by the marquee player.

| Destiny 2: Forsaken is coming in early September, and carries the hopes of many long-time players on its shoulders. The expansion is Bungie's latest attempt to address the many Destiny 2 concerns the game's playerbase has with its direction, and is adding back random weapon rolls, Destiny 1 's old weapon slot system, and a new gameplay mode in the form of Gambit that are all features implemented based on the feedback the studio has gotten over Destiny 2 's first year in existe | The release of a new gameplay mode in Destiny 2 comes at a great time for the game, which will see an influx of returning players thanks to the Warmind expansion's release. While the game hasn't exactly struggled in maintaining a core player base, Destiny 2 has been criticized for a lack of variety in its content, something that was a major issue in the original [[https://Destiny2mix.com/|Destiny 2 Exotic Quests|Https://Destiny2Mix.Com/]] as w |

| Now that Cayde is officially dead, it will be interesting to see how the Destiny 2 playerbase responds. Cayde was always a polarizing character who had just as many vocal detractors as he had supporters, and the event has people buzzing. If the aim of Destiny 2: Forsaken is to make things darker while also attracting some lapsed players back into the fold, it appears Bungie has found the right mix of intrigue and outrage to do so. Whether or not the expansion can actually retain its players is a whole other argument, but it's one that will have to be had on another day - and without Cayde-6, who likely would have had something very witty to say regarding the whole th | That said, others may be a little hesitant to see any major changes to Destiny 2 . Recently it was discovered that publisher Activision had patented a microtransaction-focused matchmaking system , which was seen by plenty of video game fans as more than a little manipulative. Although Activision has stated that it has yet to implement this system, there are concerns that it will only be a matter of t |

| They're certainly not beating around the bush when it comes to the death of a fan-favorite. According to Taylor, the team always knew it was going to be Cayde, and that his death had been planned for a long while. Fans had previously datamined information regarding Cayde's death, but Barrett and Taylor said that info was actually unrelated to the Forsaken expansion. Clearly, Cayde's death wasn't just a Forsaken -only event - Bungie had been tossing the idea around for much lon | Established series have dominated video game sales in 2017 — other top performers include NBA 2K18 , Madden NFL 18 , and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild .

| Destiny 2 _ game director Christopher Barrett and project lead Scott Taylor have gone on record confirming the death of the game's beloved Cayde-6, an Exo Guardian who has played a major role in the game's narrative up until this point, in the upcoming _[[https://destiny2MIX.Com/|Destiny 2 beginner guide|https://destiny2mix.com/]] 2: Forsaken expansion.

| Rolling Stone first reported the story about Activision's new patent, which is described as a " computer-implemented method of driving microtransactions in a multi-player game ". The story has since been picked up by news outlets and YouTubers like Downward Thrust , who broke down the patent and what it could mean for the future of gaming. Take a look at the video be | Polygon notes that Destiny 2 players can no longer access certain end-game content without purchasing the Curse of Osiris DLC first (and presumably future DLC as well). End-game content, such as Nightfalls and the Raid, have seen their base power level requirements increase, with Nightfalls now requiring players to have a 270 Power Level. While they're still available to the general public, the Nightfall's Prestige variant, which previously required Power Level 300, now requires 330 gear, a level only people who purchased the DLC can obt |

| In the interview, conducted by Eurogamer , Barrett and Taylor were asked about the decision leading up to Cayde-6's death . The duo explained that the character is known for his witty one-liners and campy behavior even in the face of death, and that Destiny 2 : Forsaken is Bungie's earnest attempt to steer the series away from that action-hero trope. The studio is hoping the expansion will set a darker tone for a series that grapples with a lot of big, brooding questions, and it appears Cayde-6 was a necessary fatality to ensure that the Guardians' nadir was successfully reached. When asked if Cayde-6 was really dead or dead "like in a superhero movie," Taylor said, "No, he's definitely de | Curse of Osiris comes on the heels of Bungie suffering overwhelming backlash for rigging Destiny 2 's XP system , with regard to players earning Bright Engrams post-Level 20, thus forcing them to " fix " the system. But they failed to mention if they would make it up their mistake to players by compensating them with in-game rewards that they lost out on. Unfortunately, Bungie seems to be doing the exact opposite, as they're now blocking previously available end-game content behind |

| On a blog post over at their official site, Bungie addressed the backlash. The developer attempted to explain why the changes were made in the first place and what is being done to fix them. The post sta | Call of Duty 's billion-dollar sales figures come as little surprise. The series reliably performs remarkably well. Destiny 2 was a slightly riskier project — a follow-up to a new, expensive, and divisive intellectual property — and Activision has reason to be happy with its results thus far. The game, however, has experienced a fair share of controversy — Bungie's handling of in-game progression and downloadable content has left many Destiny 2 players upset (and the developer apologizing). Activision has similarly come under scrutiny for the loot box mechanics of Overwatch , a game developed by Blizzard, one of its subsidiaries. But luckily for Activision, the brunt of player backlash has been directed toward EA, its primary publishing rival, due to Star Wars Battlefront 2 's loot boxes . And so, with a strong year soon to be behind it, Activision has plenty of momentum heading into 2 |

| Bungie continues working against players as they've now blocked select **Destiny 2 ** end-game content for those who haven't purchased the game's DLC. The game's first mini-expansion, Curse of Osiris , released this past Tuesday and came with new missions - as well as an increase in the game's soft level cap, from 20 to 25, and gear level cap, from 300 to 330 (gear can be increased by 5 using legendary mods) - in addition to introducing new higher-level, end-game content, such as Heroic Stri | What's more, Heroic Strikes, which are finally making a comeback in Destiny 2 , requires consumers to purchase DLC in order to play the playlist in the sequel. Considering that the minimum Power Level for the Heroic Strikes playlist is only 270, vanilla players should be able to take part in the playlist; all Bungie needs to do is make the Curse of Osiris strikes available as a separate option. But to lock both the Heroic Strikes and the Prestige Nightfall behind the DLC is unscrupulous, to say the le |
