Destiny 2 Players Unite to Share Common Misconceptions About the Game
Bungie did arguably one of the most spectacular 180s with the way it handled Destiny 2 from launch into its second year, and things keep on getting better over time thanks to its seasonal model. In fact, the game gets progressively more content, ranging from a new storyline and gameplay features all the way to new weapons and mods, and this roughly occurs every three to six months. Because of the massive size of the game, it's only natural that Bungie didn't make every aspect of the game immediately clear, especially so because Destiny 2 is meant to be explored, but some things have been left unexplained for a long time.
Destiny 2 has plenty of quests to complete and items to collect, so it doesn't come as a surprise that some of these things are left secret by Bungie for players to discover. That's one of the reasons why Destiny 2 came back in full force over the years since this mindset allowed for great things to happen, including the reveal of Riven cursing the Dreaming City after the first completion of The Last Wish Raid, or even the secret mission by the name of Presage. However, while mysteries and riddles are a great approach for the game, there are still very obscure things that players don't know, and other times they are left to their own devices.
This is what drove Reddit user X__Heisenberg87__X to share a post where they admit how they built their Hunter the wrong way for a long time before finally realizing what was wrong. The post blew up, and now a lot of other Destiny 2 players are commenting, sharing their stories about embarrassing mistakes they made over time or admitting to not knowing all sorts of things about the game. A great example comes from Redditor Gjenn, who shared how the collections tab within the game now has a "Mark All Seen" feature.
Bit of fun. Let’s hear something that took you far too long to realise about the game. Could be anything from running the wrong mod/exotic, to completely misunderstanding a game mechanic. from DestinyTheGame
The post features all sorts of comments and shocked users replying, with top stories including a player not knowing they could change their subclass in Destiny 1, so they played the game with that for over a year. Another common misconception is the consequence of Bungie's nomenclature for damage mods, as there are Minor, Major, and Boss enemies within the game. Still, Bungie never officially clarified which enemies are which, so many people wrongly assumed that Champions were considered Bosses instead of Majors.
This poses the question as to what Bungie could do to improve Destiny 2 in a way that makes information clearer and more accessible. Also, because there are weird glitches happening all the time, like the one with Hawkmoon having infinite magic bullets, the line between what's intended and what isn't is very thin.
Destiny 2 is available right now for Google Stadia, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
