After unveiling the return of Trials of Osiris last night, Destiny 2 Game Director Luke Smith issued another Director?s Cut article looking at lessons learned from the past and how Bungie plans to grow and evolve Destiny moving forward. These Director?s Cuts are deep and detailed looks at many facets of Destiny 2. I had tentatively planned to do another analysis of this one like I did with the three last year (1, 2, 3), but one particular aspect really stuck out to me. Destiny 2?s legendary weapons are going to be faced with new infusion caps, and I wanted to talk about why gear expiration is a good thing as the game transitions into its fourth year.
Luke Smith first talked about alleviating some of the FOMO due to temporary activities in Destiny 2 Year 3. Year 4 will make an effort to better balance the evolution of the world and the game?s core activities, rather than using development effort on seasonal activities. We won?t see that transition until September (Season 10 and 11 are already basically locked down), but it will present a major shift in the way Destiny 2 is presented across its seasons in Year 4.
