Bungie says it’s “missed the mark” on Destiny 2 Lightfall

Whelp.

Bungie has said it’s “missed the mark on some of our goals” when it comes to Destiny 2 Lightfall.

At the same time boasting the looter-shooter’s “highest number of concurrent players in years”, Bungie admitted it had “missed the mark” in a new blog post.

“With a solid amount of data now under our belts, it’s clear we missed the mark on some of our goals and needed to make updates based on constructive feedback. While the first batch of Guardian Ranks has proven to be an invaluable guide for New Lights, we want to improve the system for all players,” Bungie wrote.

“Guardian Ranks should be a useful guide season-over-season, which means they should reflect the most recent content in the game,” Bungie continued. “Hitting the highest rank you can achieve isn’t easy, so you should feel pride in showing it off across multiple seasons. We also expect players would become annoyed if they had to redo all the basics each season, so we’re building in shortcuts to renew ranks you’ve previously achieved even faster.”

Goals for seasonal resets will be refined in an effort to correct.

“Players should be able to represent their accomplishments across a whole season, and those who’ve previously completed a Guardian Rank should be able to renew that rank quickly in the next season. The social signal should also have meaning each season,” Bungie wrote.

Destiny 2 is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4 and PS5. Lightfall was introduced into the game from 1 March 2023 here in Australia.
