Any rattling idiot corpse reanimated with superpowers can slay gods, but it surely takes actual effort to look good whereas do it. Destiny 2 has the identical core problem as any MMO with random loot, to assemble an outfit pleasing in each kind and performance, however that can get a bit of simpler in September. Bungie already mentioned the big autumn overhaul and free-to-play relaunch will allow us to swap out perks on gear, and now they’ve defined we’ll get to make armour appear to be any of our fancy clobber from the premium in-game retailer, Eververse. I’m gonna look so good main the cost down a spacedragon’s throat.
All Eververse armour items will change into ornaments, Bungie said last night, and we’ll get to place them on any new legendary-rarity armour to vary how they give the impression of being with out affecting their stats, perks, or mods. Any Eververse armour you’ve already received from earlier seasons might be unlocked as ornaments too, so you may deliver previous seems again. Which is nice as a result of Eververse has some actual nice-looking garments (and a few actual odd ones) however getting good perk rolls is so unlikely. I’ve a vault stuffed with Eververse armour that’s too dangerous to make use of and too fairly to bin.
Combined with the largely-unexplained upcoming armour adjustments that’ll allow us to swap perks round from these we’ve collected from different gear, slightly than depend on the laborious roll of an merchandise, it feels like a golden age of Destiny vogue is coming.
I do take Destiny vogue significantly. My seems undergo kinds and seasons, and I’m feeling fairly good in regards to the present ones. My Warlock is a few form of spacetrash punk dirtbag, my Hunter’s rocking the theatrical aptitude anticipated of a category with dodge rolls and triple-jumps, and my Titan is a vivid orange lump as a result of I’m simply going to start out swinging my fists whereas strolling on this path and if you happen to get hit it’s your individual fault.
Bungie say now’s the time to dismantle any Eververse gear we aren’t truly going to make use of. Eververse armour ornaments might be drawn from our Collections library slightly than our bodily stock so we don’t want to hold onto them, and we could as effectively shred them for Bright Dust whereas we are able to.
Bright Dust is altering too, see. Dust will nonetheless be used to purchase some Eververse gadgets from the shop, but it surely’s being eliminated as a irritating limitation. Where we at present pay Dust to drag ornamental spaceships, shaders, spacebikes, and Ghost shells out of Collections, in future we’ll solely pay Legendary Shards and Glimmer – identical as non-Eververse gadgets. Dismantling Eververse stuff received’t give Bright Dust both, solely Shards and Glimmer. Bungie even plan to start out rewarding pinches of Dust for finishing most of the in-game bounties.
All of which sounds nice? I’ll look even higher and received’t hold blowing a lot Dust pulling a spacebike from Collections then dismantling it and repeating till I get the perks I would like.
I’m feeling mighty constructive about the way forward for Destiny. The game is essentially in a very good state today (effectively, PvP wants extra maps and higher steadiness) and the Season Of Opulence is a enjoyable last chapter of the Annual Pass. I’m excited for the large adjustments approaching September 17th with the launch of the Shadowkeep growth, and eager to see extra gamers be a part of with the free-to-play New Light base version. Even small stuff like these gear overhauls will make it extra nice to play, and Bungie appear to be dreaming larger for the long run. Even their free-to-play mannequin sounds first rate.
Some of my spacepals had been nervous this season by Eververse promoting so many gadgets for actual cash via the Silver microtransaction forex, taking it as an ailing omen for the F2P swap, however I don’t significantly thoughts. Many of these are additionally being offered for Bright Dust because the season winds on, and so they’re solely beauty bits anyway. And I do belief Bungie. Time could show me a idiot however September’s large update-o-relaunch feels like the beginning of one thing great.
