Destiny 2 |OT| Here's this Week's BWU

tl;dr

Quickplay
Matchmaking times will be shorter, with less emphasis on Skill. This is the fastest route to a game, but you may face opponents outside of your comfort zone. The winning score in Control has been extended from 75 to 100 to allow for more time to play and use your abilities. Because too many matches were shorter than we expected (some Guardians weren't even able charge their Super) we've extended the trigger for the Mercy rule so it will come into play less often.

Competitive
Matchmaking takes more time to introduce you to players that are closer to you in skill with a good connection. These matchmaking settings may take longer, but we feel that the quality of the gameplay experience will be worth the wait. We have also made improvements to the way we calculate your skill in Countdown to better reflect how you'll perform against your opponents.

FIXED: Infinite Super Glitch
Infinite Supers are all well and good until someone loses an eye.

FIXED: Warlock Glide Glitch
This bug was awesome... So awesome it hurt us a little bit to kill it. Thanks to those in the console Beta who helped us track this down.

FIXED: Infinite Grenades Glitch
Another issue found with the help of our friends in the console Beta. (Thank you!)

FIXED: Warlocks now have the same Melee Range as all other classes
With the exception of where perks directly increase their range, Warlocks will punch like the rest of us. Our PC friends will get a chance to experience a world with consistent base melee ranges. So will the rest of you, when the game launches.

TWEAKED: Globally reduced the time it takes to charge your Super
This was a big change that came directly from your feedback during the console beta. We agree it was taking a bit too long to cook up a Super.

TWEAKED: Increased Grenade Damage in PvE
Increased damage helps Grenades feel as powerful as they should facing hordes of alien combatants and, more specifically, makes the longer cooldowns more palatable. We want abilities to be slightly more rare, but worth it. In the console Beta, the ”worth it" part wasn't quite there yet.

TWEAKED: Increased Power Ammo drops in PvE
This is something we had felt internally and have been slowly tuning up over the last several weeks. The PC beta has been updated with our new values and will provide much more heavy ammo in PvE than what was found before. Heavy ammo can also be directly farmed from all Yellow Bar Combatants. Go big, Guardians!

How will players monitor FPS performance during gameplay?
Destiny 2 on PC will include an in-game FPS counter.

How will players be able to monitor hardware performance?
Hardware performance monitors will be able to function alongside Destiny 2 PC, but any form of overlay functionality will be restricted.

Will Destiny 2 on PC include a frame rate target option?
Yes, Destiny 2 on PC will include the ability to specify a frame rate upper-limit (via a config file).

Bungie.net Account Recovery
Bungie.net will soon receive an update to support a form of Account Recovery. If a player has lost access to a Bungie.net account through the account linking process, we will offer a means of recovering and re-linking the original Bungie.net profile to desired credentials.

Man it's astounding the game is out in a month, and we still know barley anything about the game.

It's either a bad thing because there's nothing really to show or a good thing because they're trying not to ruin surprises and overall content for players.

Hoping it's the latter.

Then the PC version is later so that just makes me salty if either is true.

Though I guess we'll know more about the game before servers open to make faster progression. Or do my best to not see anything.

Hard choice.

I tend to believe they are doing this because of the blowup after D1 came out and it wasn't up to peoples overhyped standards that Bungie themselves helped create.

I am in the came of as long as things are getting released in a timely manner and they keep the community going I am happy. Don't rock the boat too much.

I'm dying to know more about the mod system. It very well might be super limited and streamlined but the possibilities are there for a lot of really powerful and unique effects.

It's possible that like Warframe they could have levels to them as well and part of the end game involves leveling up mods to be even more powerful than when they initially drop... Or maybe they don't drop at all and they're all purchasable...

Could be a really boring addition to the game... Could change everything about end game Destiny

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What's the point of the mercy rule in Destiny 2?

The requirements were already ridiculous that they were rare.

For some reason, Bungie thinks it needs to be even harder to get a mercy in Destiny 2.

Why do they even exist?

They will be come as rare as seeing Haley's comet. You can tell your kids about the one time you saw a Mercy with your own eyes and that the myths were true. It does exist.

I think if you temper your expectations on the low side, that's best.

Personally, I have no clue about what that's going to be. But it's all the "what if they did this..." talk that ultimately creates letdown for what is ultimately released.

That doesn't mean what we end up won't be great. I am hoping it is. But comparisons to other games and how things are done is almost always a recipe for disappointment.

Just sayin'. Let's let the Bungie team Surprise and Delight™ us in their own way. ;)

What do you mean? Stacked groups happen at times. Haley's comet is rarer. Have you run with Kadey and company I know I have seen Mercy rules invoked while being carried more than a comet every 75 years.

I've played a ton of PVP including a bunch with Kadey. Mercy rule was rare, unless you were playing some cartoonishly bad players.

They're making them rarer.
