#177 Bungie Caught Throttling XP | Destiny The Show

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THIS WEEK’S SHOW ON ITUNES & PODBEAN

This week we talk about Bungie caught throttling XP gains in Destiny 2, in response Bungie has removed the XP cooldown but in the process has really slowed down acquisition of Bright Engrams. The community reaction has been strongly negative as it seems like Bungie only addressed the situation after getting caught. Additionally we talk about the Crucible Radio developer interview with Jon Weisnewski and Claude Jerome which gives clear insight into the segmented nature of Bungie development. We learn about the intentionality behind the decisions regarding fixed roll weapons, more simplistic class perk tress, and the decision to go 4v4 across the board. Thanks for listening and have a great week!

#176 Can Raid Lairs Actually Work? | Destiny The Show

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THIS WEEK’S SHOW ON PODBEAN & ITUNES

Can Raid Lairs actually work in Destiny 2 or will this end up being another Crota’s End, a very short raid more like a strike. The first Curse of Osiris reveal stream has concluded and things are looking alright, but it’s hard not to get Dark Below vibes when IGN and PC Gamer have discussed the campaign length being only around 2-3 hours. The biggest question we have is what main quality of life changes are arriving in Season 2 and can the live team do enough to bring back the sea of lapsed players?
