Alright, so here’s what’s been buzzing around Destiny 2. Picture this: Bungie’s stirred the pot again, and folks are all over it. Changes to the core mechanics got everyone chirping. Anyway, now they’re saying Bright Dust will be something you can just farm endlessly. Well, soon, anyway. Probably later this year. You know, Bright Dust? That thing you use like monopoly money to buy all those shiny cosmetics?
Not top of the issue pile, but whatever. They reckon it’ll make the grind feel more worthwhile. Oh, and hang tight, because in 2025—wait, or was it 2024?—they’re axing that Destiny 2 Pathfinder thing. Yeah, apparently, it’s getting swapped for some easy-peasy daily objective system. Makes ya wonder if it’s all part of the plan… or just throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.
So, this whole currency thing in Destiny 2? It’s like a washing machine on a spin cycle — always turning. People have been wanting a consistent way to snag Bright Dust. Like, it’s free if you’re looking at it sideways, unlike Silver where you gotta shell out real dough. You can snag all sorts of stuff like flashy armor bits, emotes, sparrows — you name it. Except some of those sets remain locked tighter than a drum unless you pony up the Silver.
Meanwhile, at the Tower, folks are getting restless. Bungie’s letting you earn Bright Dust without those gnarly weekly challenges, giving you a way to farm this stuff like never-ending crops. Also, less serious hit to the wallet, which is nice. The expansion — Renegades — it’s called, should bring this in, assuming they don’t trip on the implementation.
Odd, bungling progress? Sure. But hey, let’s not get picky now. Bungie says they’re dumping the Pathfinder system. This thing only appeared last year, mind you, and they’re already giving it the boot. Guess people just didn’t vibe with it? Anyway, watch for a new setup where you’ve got endless challenges to tackle. Nice to chip away at, like scraping the last bit of ice cream from the bottom of the tub. Yum.
Now, here’s your rough patch. With the launch of this Edge of Fate expansion — you’d think it’s all fireworks and cheers. Eh, not so much. The tweaks, the changes — mixed reviews. Player counts looking like my energy levels on a Monday morning. And yet, here we are — different saga, same shenanigans. Feels like we’re riding an amusement park ride that’s never-ending.
Why mention the weekend vendor Xur, or any of this vendor jazz? Beats me. Maybe just another twist in this tangled game web. Keeps things fresh? Stale? Guess it’s in the eye of the beholder — or the player, in this case.
So there’s all this buzzing around, shifts and changes, and if you’re a Guardian reading this, well, I suppose you’ll be right there in the mix, dust and all.
