Ditch: Randomness of Rewards
Okay, hear us out. We totally get that RNG plays a huge role in Destiny 2’s reward system, as it does in many loot-based games. That’s part of the charm of the game. Some drops are guaranteed through specific quests (like Man O’ War, MIDA Multi-tool, and Sturm), while others are completely up to the Traveler’s grace it seems, and that’s fine… for the main chunk of the game. For timed events, however, choosing a faction and not being able to get everything can feel a bit disheartening.
Bungie decided to limit engram packages to 30, probably due to the ability to easily farm thousands of tokens in a matter of just a few short hours (which we totally get). Unfortunately, the packages didn’t guarantee you a full armor set or even all of the weapons. This could feel like a blow to the gut for players who earned their tokens without exploiting the game, spending hours over the past week and having almost nothing to show for it other than the same gun a dozen times. Perhaps a shop for the armor at least, with high token prices, so players could show their allegiance with pride would be a suitable alternative in future Faction Rallies.
Sure, the event will be back. But if it’s just the same sets of armor and the same randomness, is that really a rewarding experience?
