Destiny 2 players took to Reddit to cite the several issues they’ve encountered and vent their frustration about their experience on the current patch.
Reddit users were able to compile a list of everything broken in the current patch, listing off issues like extreme audio problems, multiple glitches with modifications, and an incompletable story mission.
The player base of Bungie’s looter shooter is not happy, with many fed up with the frequent and sustained issues the game has been facing. “You are seeing the real time results of a game built to only ever grow so large over two or three years being stretched into its sixth.” a user pointed out.
One user went so far as to claim the game is being run by a B team instead.
However, not everyone shared the angered sentiment, with individuals defending Bungie. Noting how difficult squashing bugs is in a game like Destiny. “99 lines of bugs in the code, 99 lines of bugs. Take one down, patch it all out: 256 lines of bugs in the code.” a user chanted.
Other Redditors tried to look on a more positive side, sharing an anecdote about grabbing plenty of exotics whilst raiding on the new patch. “On a more positive note, everyone on my team got random exotics given to us during a Nezzy run last night. Not from the chest, just standing at the raid banner.”
