Destiny: Rising has set a new standard for gacha games. It isn't just another game tangentially related to the universe it's set in. Many longtime aficionados of the franchise are calling this the most enjoyable experience in Destiny's universe right now. NetEase Games has revealed its six-month roadmap and there's a lot more coming to be excited about.
One of the biggest changes is an overhaul of the Pinnacle Energy system, which many players found restrictive. Here's NetEase's explanation for the overhaul:
Given that Pinnacle Energy is one of the cornerstones of the game's mechanics, any changes must be carefully considered and tested. Because of that, we can't make any quick, fundamental changes in the short term, but rest assured, this is something the dev team has been continuously thinking about and discussing in depth, searching for the best solution.
So why are we choosing to talk about it now? That's because we think we've found a solution that's worth a try. We believe this new solution will let players enjoy all Destiny: Rising has to offer with greater freedom and fewer restrictions, and provide a more enjoyable looter-shooter experience, while still maintaining balance between players of different time investment levels. We're aiming to introduce this new plan to all of our Lightbearers early next year as part of our first major update. In the lead-up to that, we'll be sharing more information as well as gathering more feedback from our community. Stay tuned!
All of this is part of the biggest release of info Destiny: Rising has seen since its August release.
