Destiny 2 Triples Dawning Spirit Gains So Community Doesn't Fail Event
Destiny 2 has added an event this year called Dawning Spirit 2020, where players complete missions to raise everyone's spirits in this trying time. With the community-wide goal of 1,000,000,000 spirits earned looming nearer, it has become apparent that players are not going to reach the goal to earn rewards. Bungie has decided to counteract the lack of interest and participation in the Destiny 2 event by tripling the number of Dawning Spirits earned to hopefully allow the community to complete the goals.
The overall goal for players is to earn as much Dawning Spirit as possible, in order to complete the seasonal Gift Abundance quest to unlock prizes for players in the Tower. The main way to earn Dawning Spirit has been through daily and weekly bounties paying out two and ten Dawning Spirit, respectively. While there are other ways to earn a small amount of Dawning Spirit in addition to this, players should focus on this year's exotic ship quest which can give a small passive income of Dawning Spirit for encountering Dawning ingredients.
As of yet, the rewards for completing the Gift Abundance quest have not been released by Bungie. The event is live now and will end on January 5th, 2021. The action by Bungie tripling the original rewards stems from the fact that as it stands, Destiny 2 players are surely going to fail the event. The event has played out in stages, with goals set for players to reach keeping them on track to earn the one-billion needed Dawning Spirit. While players did clear stage 3 in time, the goal is going to continue to double from 250 million to 500 million, and the rate of participation is slowing down. The math simply doesn't add up for players to possibly reach the ultimate goal, but Bungie tripling Dawning Spirit gain might just change this.
With the changes Bungie has made, players who have been grinding out the event in hopes of rewards have a much better chance of reaching their goals. While there has been a lack of interest in the event overall, it now seems much more likely that players will not be leaving the event empty-handed. Bungie has run into similar situations in the past, such as when it increased the multiplier during its Season of the Worthy event, when it overestimated the final goal and player involvement.
A small subset of players do want to see the community event fail due to their distaste of this kind of event. Other players just aren't motivated to grind an event to death for a Destiny 2 prize that's being kept secret. However, Bungie stepping in and increasing the multiplier for event rewards brings back the possibility that players who want to complete the event having a fair chance to do so.
Destiny 2 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
