The Toughest Aspect of Destiny 2: Convincing Friends to Play it!
Playing Destiny 2 from Bungie is no easy task, but getting friends to jump into the action is even harder. The new “Starter Pack” for Destiny 2 sounds like an easy way for lapsed players to return to the game, but it’s not what fans expected.
In the newly launched Season of the Wish for Destiny 2, gamers noticed a new Destiny 2 Starter Pack that is available for $15 on PSN, Xbox, and Steam. However, it’s not what fans would hope for. The Starter Pack does not include any missions, expansions, or story content, but it features a collection of random items such as weapons and cosmetic enhancements.
Despite its misleading name, the Starter Pack offers items including Traveler’s Chosen, Ruinous Effigy, Sleeper Simulant, an Exotic Ship, an Exotic Sparrow, and an Exotic Ghost Shell, along with other in-game currencies and resources. The items offered have been criticized for being outdated and too expensive, considering what they offer.
The Destiny 2 Starter Pack is especially problematic for new players, as it does not provide meaningful in-game content but still comes with a hefty price tag. Fans are expressing their discontent on various platforms, calling it a waste of money and poor value for what it offers.
Amid reports of revenue shortfalls and layoffs at Bungie, the rollout of the $15 Starter Pack has left some players feeling exploited. Critics argue that it appears to be targeted at new players who aren’t familiar with the game’s complexities.
Clearly, the Destiny 2 Starter Pack is not being well-received by the gaming community. It’s up to Bungie to rectify the situation and offer players a more appealing and valuable way to experience and engage with Destiny 2.
