Bungie Re-Tuning Destiny 2 PVP Ranking System to be Less Punishing, Other Crucible Changes



In a Destiny 2 update earlier this year, Bungie introduced a ranking system to the Crucible, Destiny 2’s PvP experience. Since the launch, they’ve received a lot of feedback from players. Most people were happy with the intent behind the ranking grind, but felt that it could often feel too punishing. On the Competitive side, loss streaks meant losing Glory points at a rapid rate, while on the Quickplay side, Valor could only be gained from one single playlist which made other modes feel like wasted time. In addition, players were unfairly saddled with games-in-progress that would often cause them to lose win-streaks.
In the upcoming Destiny 2 update 1.2.3, Bungie is planning some updates to the Crucible ranking system to make it more rewarding for players, diminishing some of the elements that haven’t been received all that well. Valor will be able to be earned in all playlists, so grinding out Glory in the Competitive playlist no longer means missing out on Valor ranking. Win streaks are also being adjusted so that they aren’t lost nearly as easily through things outside of player control. Loss streaks now punish less when stacked so that they don’t feel overwhelming when losing multiple matches in a row. Below is a preview of the patch notes from update 1.2.3, which will release on July 17.
