In this episode: We cover the recent resurgence of players in the Destiny community, how the state of Destiny is keeping those players engaged, and finishing with the top things we are looking forward to when Shadowkeep hits in September

Click to Listen: S311 – Destiny Resurgence

Show Notes

• Resurgence – 

• • Since the release of Forsaken we have seen a steady decline in the want to play the game – a slight bump in players as new content was released but still a decline
  • But then 3 things took place that combined has revitalized the community to new levels.
    • 1.) Bungie split from Activision
      • This was a huge want from the community to finally split from the “greedy corporates” at Activision
      • Bungie is now free to build a game the way they want to
      • This does not mean Eververse will go away as to keep producing “free” content you need some way to keep the lights on
    • 2.) All new items and content announced for Shadowkeep
      • New Light
        • Some people may say that Free-to-play is a  sign of a game failing but the way that Bungie is implementing is more like a demo but people will still be able to play multiplayer with friends
      • Cross-Save
        • Every multi-platform game to date has wanted this.  We all have friends on different platforms and want to play with them without having to start over.  Cross-save fixes this and will be a continued plus for new players coming into Destiny.
        • This also pairs REALLY well with Destiny 2 on Stadia too as we now have an on the go version of the game that we can just continue playing our characters
      • Transmogrification sorta – AKA Armour 2.0
        • Just yes – we finally get to wear the gear we want and slot the stats we want
      • Moon’s Haunted – Story
        • We are going back to the Moon!
        • Looks like we may go up against some ghosts of the past
    • 3.) Season of Opulence
      • The biggest item that has hit with this season has been the Menagerie.  A multi-boss raid-lite that has built-in matchmaking
      • Along with this, and with benefit from a bug, this event has been a go-to grind because of the loot rewards and the ability to craft the weapons how you want it giving the player just the right amount of control.
• State of the Game
  • People are loving the grind for all things PVE
  • PVP is not in a horrible spot but still is rough
  • There is so much to do if you have not been keeping up and so much content to go through but almost all of it is really good and worth the work
  • So much lore to work through and very engaging storylines to keep up with
  • -Personal Experience-

• Tops items we are looking forward to – ERIS MORN!!!! & Cross-Save
