Beyond Light: The campaign and Stasis

November 23, 2020 ImmernautLeave a comment

With Beyond Light finally released after a two-month delay, Guardians everywhere are finally able to explore the frozen moon of Europa and begin their excursions into wielding Darkness. The expansion marks a major turning point for Destiny 2, with multiple destinations and activities removed to give room for newer updates and make it easier to react to bugs and player feedback in the future.

This first post will deal primarily with the main campaign, as well as how to unlock your Stasis subclasses. Future posts will delve into the post-campaign questlines and activities, and with even more stuff unlocked now that the Deep Stone Crypt has been beaten, that will come in yet another post. On top of that, seasonal activities began on November 17th with the start of Season of the Hunt, and I’ll cover those in another post. Lot of stuff to delve into, so let’s get to it!

The road ahead: Systems updates coming in year 4 of Destiny 2

October 14, 2020October 31, 2020 Immernaut1 Comment

Over the past few months, Bungie has been offering previews of changes to come over Destiny 2’s next year, with Beyond Light looking to offer the biggest update since Forsaken. Almost every aspect of the game is being affected in some way, from playlist activities to accessible destinations, from what gear remains usable to the mod economy, and even something as simple as how your Ghost works.

There are quite a few posts delving into system previews, most of which will occur in season 12, while others are planned for later in the year. So, for your benefit (and partly for my own), I figure a summary of all these posts would be helpful! With Beyond Light only about a month away, there will likely be a couple more to come over the next few weeks, and I’ll update this post accordingly.

Update, 10/22/20: Info on sandbox changes and Trials Adept weaponry.
Update, 10/31/20: Info on power progression and economy changes.
