Destiny 2 continues to frustrate players with persistent glitches, particularly during seasonal events. One player reports frequent interruptions while trying to enjoy the Festival of the Lost, with game-breaking issues that keep popping up.
Glitches in the game often prevent players from completing tasks effectively. For example, during the Festival of the Lost, a player noted that the boss encounters frequently “soft lock,” making it impossible to progress without knowledge of workarounds, which most teammates lack. These problems have led to confusion and wasted time as players struggle to enjoy gaming sessions.
Glitches Ruining Event Experience
Players are experiencing significant issues during special events like the Festival of the Lost. Actions that should be straightforward often turn into frustrating challenges. Instances of “soft locks” are common, particularly during boss battles.
The game’s performance drops drastically during specific encounters, leading to chaotic situations. For instance, players noted getting instant-killed by attacks they couldn’t see due to frame rate issues. Such glitches detract from what should be a festive, engaging experience.
Problems in Reclaim Activities and Rankings
Attempts at Reclaim activities have not fared better. Players are often locked out of areas, with objectives failing to spawn even after trying to restart. Furthermore, the matchmaking process may lead to inaccurate scoring, leaving players disappointed after putting in solid effort.
Matchmaking is automated, so players cannot adjust game modifiers. One player found that despite doing well, their score was lower than expected, leading to frustration over perceived wasted time. The game’s scoring system remains inconsistent.
- Soft locks in boss fights
- Frame rate drops during encounters
- Locked objectives in Reclaim activities
Quality Control Issues Impacting Gameplay
The root of these player frustrations lies in quality assurance cuts at the game’s developer, Bungie. As new updates roll out, they often bring more bugs than fixes, frustrating gamers who want a seamless experience. With fewer options for enjoyable gameplay due to recent changes, the stakes for functional performance are higher than ever.
These persistent issues have left many wondering if the developers will address them or if gaming sessions will continue to be marred by technical problems.
