My Destiny 2 clan and I straight-up could not raid last night.
The first encounter of the newly updated Garden of Salvation just did not work.
Destiny 2 is a mess.
How many weapons were made rarer, and for how long, we don’t yet know.
But this was quite a big, bad problem for a loot-based game to have, seemingly for months.
Something like this inDiablo 4, I imagine, would’ve been met with far greater outrage.
“Man that’s wild!
Isn’t that wild?”
everyone, includingBungie, seemed to say Bungie with a slightly nervous laugh.
I am, very obviously, here to moan about this.
But it’s not just that, I promise.
“Austin, put it on The List,” has been an alarmingly frequent comment in our sessions.
From activities to abilities, every single element has been injected with doubt.
And that’s just one of many,manytopical examples.
Pretty much every piece of new content has seen serious bugs.
These aren’t “smash them with a tissue” bugs, here.
We’re dealing with a “get the flamethrower out” caliber of bug.
This is the cornerstone of the Episode!
At the time of writing, only one person can loot it.
This effectively bans Void since the other Hunter Void Super, Spectral Blades, is irredeemable garbage in PvE.
New Artifact perks like Kinetic Impacts are bugged and do almost nothing.
Iswearthe old Radiant bug that causes anti-barrier properties to flicker is back.
New Exotics like the Hunter’s Mask of Fealty just do not do the things they say they do.
Health regeneration might not trigger in Vanguard Ops, the main PvE playlist.
A Trials of Osiris PvP bug is blocking many rank-up rewards entirely.

The smaller things compound, too.
Destiny 2’s UI has become a nightmare.
A new weapon in the Festival of the Lost event dropped with perks it isn’t supposed to have.
Like a Helldiver in a Tier 10 operation, I am never far from bugs.
It’s hard to seriously engage with this game right now.
Even when things do function on the surface, uncertainties nag me constantly.
Is this build or gun working as intended?
Is it bad, or just bugged?
Will a future “bug fix” nerf it into the pavement?
Will tonight’s raid even freakin’work?
I see the work being done to fight the bugs, but the bugs are quite frankly winning.
It goes without saying that I don’t have a silver bullet solution.
But I do think something needs to change.
I have personally hit my tipping point, and it feels like Destiny 2 is approaching its own.
