Following a recent state of the game update, Destiny 2 players expressed their disappointment with developer Bungie on various aspects of the game. One of the areas where players felt underserved was in the delivery of new ritual armor sets. Bungie acknowledged the poor communication and as an apology, they will be giving players a free set of armor from the Eververse store.
Bungie mentioned in their update that delivering ritual armor sets at a constant rate had become challenging for them. They further explained that these sets had historically seen low adoption by players, both as base armor and cosmetic ornaments.
To address the concerns raised by the community, game director Joe Blackburn provided additional insight on Twitter. He explained that the exclusion of ritual armor in the upcoming Season 22, called Lightfall, was a deliberate decision. Bungie wanted to focus more on providing gear for high-level activities like raids, dungeons, and PvP modes such as Trials of Osiris. Seasonal armor sets, on the other hand, would serve as gear that ties into the ongoing seasonal narrative.
Blackburn also mentioned that Bungie is committed to fostering intimate discussions about the game but wants to ensure the safety of their community members and leaders by protecting them from toxic elements within the Destiny 2 fandom. In addition, the studio is forming a dedicated team to revitalize the PvP section of the game, and players can expect the release of several new Crucible maps next year.
Further details about the future of Destiny 2 will be unveiled in the Destiny 2 Showcase, scheduled for August 22nd.
