Good news for gamers - microtransactions are due to die down in 2018! Such are the conclusions of Doug Creutz - an analyst with the investment banking firm Cowen - who says that the smart money is on game developers dialing back their efforts to push microtransactions as a means of profit-building in the year to c

Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris sends the player to Mercury to find Osiris, who is apparently the most powerful Warlock to ever live. Taking place after the main Destiny 2 campaign has ended, Osiris should have some answers about how to defeat the Vex, the machine army that has come through a gateway at Mercury. Taking place as another narrative-driven experience, Curse of Osiris includes a new destination in the form of Mercury and its Infinite Forest, a new social space dubbed the Lighthouse, as well as new missions, strikes, raid content, and m


The Prometheus Lens weapon contains Prismatic Inferno, which means it fires "a solar trace beam that generates a damaging heat field that grows while the weapon continues to fire." What's more, kills obtained with the Prometheus Lens replenishes the weapon's ammo and even extends the beam its


We’ve seen community discussion around XP gain in Destiny. After reviewing our data, we agree that the system is not performing the way we’d like it to. Today, we’d like to describe what’s going on under the hood, and talk about what you can expect going forward when it comes to earning XP in Destin


Nezarec's Sin (costs 23 Legendary Shards) is an exotic Warlock class helmet that has Abyssal Extractors, which enable users who get Void-damage kills to increase their ability energy recharge rate. As with most other Warlock gear, Nezarec's Sin is balanced across the board, with a legendary mod that improves weapon handling for energy weapons. Unless players want to upgrade their helmet, most Warlock users may already have Nezarec's Sin and would want to skip it this w


Bungie's statement claims the XP system was fixed but we don't know what that means or if it was actually fixed yet, so stay tuned! We've reached out to Bungie for clarification on how their downscaling may have impacted real-money purchases mentioned above and will update accordin


Game Informer first reported on Creutz's findings, which are based on an analysis of gaming company stock prices in the wake of various key releases. Creutz specifically cited drops in the value of Electronic Arts stock following the release of Star Wars: Battlefront II and Activision stock prices dropping after the release of Destiny 2 . While Creutz acknowledged that Destiny 2 had other reasons for attracting the ire of gamers (i.e. a buggy product on release day ), he still pointed to consumer backlash against microtransactions as a key factor in player dissatisfaction. Creutz s


Destiny 2 's Warmind expansion released last week as a much-needed infusion of new content for Activision and Bungie's MMO/FPS hybrid. Destiny 2 has been dealing with a lot of criticism as of late, with many fans regarding the controversy over loot boxes and the lack of end-game content as warning flags that the game is headed down the same road as its predecessor. Destiny was ultimately seen as brimming with unfulfilled potential, and Destiny 2 has been getting changes that have made it more like the original, much to the player base's dis

The clues, assembled by players on the Destiny subreddit , to the Exo Stranger's identity in Destiny 2 are scattered all over the Warmind expansion, and while no single hint is concrete evidence, the overwhelming amount of them makes it pretty obvious. The expansion features elements known as Lost Memory Fragments, which players can destroy to find text and lore that relates to the memories of Elsie Bray. There are mentions of Exo technology, which her family pioneered, and studying the Vex, a cybernetic species that are, more or less, the dark side of what Exo technology could


It's a nice piece of world-building from a development team that has often been criticized for ignoring the intriguing narrative that supports Destiny and Destiny 2 . One of the most long-standing criticisms of Destiny 2 Collectibles|Https://Destiny2Mix.Com/ 2 is that it doesn't build enough on the already lore-rich world of its predecessor, and with fan ire at an all-time high regarding trends that suggest Destiny 2 is moving backwards , the introduction of the Exo Stranger's identity is a huge boon. Time will tell if this is just a one-off or if the Destiny 2 team is doubling down on its lore-building, but it's an encouraging sign for a dedicated community that has been desperate for positives recen


**Destiny 2 ** , like its predecessor, isn't quite delivering on the initial promise of the franchise nor is it keeping the player base happy at the moment. A lack of end game content and worse, a lack of transparency from developer Bungie, has resulted in a consistent flow of negative buzz on forums and Reddit. But change is com
