This online MMO shooter is free to play Destiny 2released in 2017And It is one of my favorite video games. I play it all the time. I have multiple personalities. I own all the latest seasons. It’s great. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested in the game’s future, like With each passing seasonIt appears to be more prone to breakage. In fact, as I write this very paragraph around 4:00 PM on January 24th, the game remains offline as Bungie continues to investigate the latter issue. Meanwhile, many gamers hope to get a completely new engine and game, most likely in the form of Destiny 3. But things are not so simple.
earlier in the day, Destiny 2 Taken offline across all platforms While Bungie investigated losing players progress in victories and seals, which function like in-game achievements and challenges. It’s not the end of the world, sure, but the past week has been a bit off Players have reported losing their characters Along with their progression and items. and then, It was a new mission that wasn’t updating properly for players. And before that it was something else. In 2023, after years of updates, expansions, and more, that looks like it Destiny 2 She began to flex under her own weight.
Peek at Bungie’s official support Twitter account—which is updated frequently to let players know about upcoming patches, server issues, and other vital information Destiny 2—You can find a lot of tweets amounting to Bungie saying “Welp, this isn’t working. We’re trying to fix it. More info later.” Online games not working every day is nothing new and it’s not an exclusive problem Destiny 2. But it’s starting to become a more prevalent problem with the elderly shooter. Looking at this support account, a lot of the tweets about bugs or broken tasks don’t have weeks between them, but only a few days or less.
Novels, my playtime Destiny 2 Recently it has been more than ever. This new season brought with it awesome new heist missions and a weird lag I’ve never seen before. I’m still having an issue with the game where every PvP match doesn’t count, which makes us play more to finish the weekly challenges and missions. I’ve just accepted that in-game rewards associated with kills, quests, or other activities won’t always update as they should. In fact, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I and other gamers I know had gotten used to it Destiny 2 Unreliable. And it seems to be getting worse, not better, as the game expands and adds more layers and systems.

Look online and you’ll quickly see players suggesting that Bungie needs to move on to a theoretical Destiny 3, a game that likely will happen—and is maybe in development already—but which hasn’t been confirmed. During today’s extended downtime, Destiny 3 It was popular on Twitter Where players argued about the shooter’s future and stability. for some, New engine idea The new regulation felt promising, which gave hope that it would solve many problems Destiny 2′Troubles. Others pointed out that A completely new game that is not easy to make Or simple to operate, and likely missing features or content upon release. Plus, There is no guarantee He will fix all the problems that arise.
Personally, I think the fate It would probably be a good move to make in the end. It could allow developers to make something more flexible and capable of handling the kind of events they’ve spent years crafting and perfecting. But I’m also not naive enough to think it’ll fix everything or be easy to create. However, I feel the frustration players feel Destiny 2 Still not consistently consistent.
like an old computer or mixer, Destiny 2 It mostly works, but it’s covered in duct tape, scratches, and grime. And every so often, you have to kick it or fiddle with the cord to get it started. Sure, it’s still bubbling for now, but you’ll probably need to replace it someday. and with Destiny 2I have a feeling Bungie is going to slap on the tape for as long as possible Destiny 2 to survive through to the end of its planned roadmap, which will likely see the final season arrive in 2024. After that, well, I don’t know. Hopefully by then the game will at least feel more stable and reliable, not worse.
