Will I’m going again to Destiny 2? It’s a query I’ve been pondering as I wrote the remainder of this submit, and I reckon Bunge’s overhaul to the Crucible in March can be sufficient to tempt me again for a spot of PVP. It’ll take rave opinions of the subsequent enlargement for me to signal again up for the shoot n’ loot loop, thoughts.
Bungie have updated their development roadmap from final month with a couple of revised dates for when sure adjustments will land, plus an announcement that a well-liked free-for-all multiplayer mode from Destiny the primary is returning to the Crucible. Get able to “Rumble”.
If you noticed the original roadmap, then the primary information is that the overhaul to Exotic objects, initially slated for March, now gained’t arrive till the large 1.2 replace in May. Mod enhancements have additionally been bumped again: these adjustments gained’t arrive till someday after the 1.2 replace.
Rumble mode will include the March replace that’s centered on PvP, however earlier than then February 27th’s slew of adjustments are centered on bettering Nightfall strikes. Those are the more durable variations of standard strikes that presently embrace a ticking countdown timer of doom, however after the replace taking issues slowly will solely cut back your rating moderately than fail the mission. Here’s Bungie’s breakdown on exactly how that’ll work.
Except you may nonetheless need to wait, as a result of the extra important adjustments to strikes (for me, not less than) aren’t arriving till that replace on March 27th. That’s partly as a result of the artwork for the brand new fancy Nightfall rewards gained’t be prepared till then, however I’m really extra happy to see the addition of “repeat Crucible map/strike protection”. I just about stopped doing strikes as a result of I used to be sick of taking part in by the identical ones again to again, although there are a number of strikes that I’ve solely seen a couple of times. It’s a thriller to me why it’s taken Bungie this lengthy to make such a easy but important change.
March can even carry 6v6 to the weekly Iron Banner occasion, together with a rotating Crucible playlist that’ll function Rumble and Mayhem modes. I’m glad to see the return of Rumble: teamwork is enjoyable, certain, however ‘every man for himself’ has its personal attraction. The 2v2 Doubles mode from Christmas can be set to return again.
There’s a lot I haven’t talked about, so do try the updated roadmap for your self.
