Shoutout to Bungie for improving the Rite of Nine experience on the fly
[quote]Starting today, our planned Rite of the Nine Dungeon Calendar will be changing. Each Dungeon will be featured for two weeks as opposed to three, and we are increasing Nonary Manifold currency drop rates which can be exchanged for additional weapons. With this change, Ghosts of the Deep will now launch next Tuesday, May 20 followed by Prophecy on June 3.
Alongside the above change, the second week of a given dungeon will also feature increased weapon drops, where rewards can drop from any enemy defeated. Holofoils are included in this as well!
For this week, we are rapidly working on an update that will turn on increased weapon drops in Spire of the Watcher until Ghosts of the Deep becomes the featured Dungeon next week. We'll let you know when that's deployed.
Starting on June 17, all Rite of the Nine Dungeons will be available to play at any time on any difficulty - and increased currency drops will be active for all three dungeons. Each week a featured dungeon will have increased weapon drops. This will begin with Spire of the Watcher on June 17, followed by Ghosts of the Deep on June 24 and ending with Prophecy on July 1.
On July 8, a "lootapalooza" will begin; all three dungeons will have all rewards bonuses enabled for the final week of Episode Heresy alongside a new way to spend your Nonary Manifold currency. We hope this gives all Guardians ample time to hunt for Holofoils and Adepts as they prepare for The Edge of Fate's launch on July 15.[/quote]
Credit where credit is due. Bungie listened and made things better. W

This isn't a W. If hit you with a baseball bat, knowing you'll be pissed about it, but then clean up the booboo later. That's not a W.
-
Lol brown nosing a company that fixes their own mistake! Aim higher!
-
2 RepliesThey did nothing more than fix a mistake, you don't praise performing to the expected standard.
-
Oh yeah, they screwed up, went back on their word, the player numbers went through the floor and then they scrambled to try and make it better without actually fixing it at all in a matter of days when other issues are ignored for weeks, months or even years. Big round of applause here... /sarcasm A 'W' is just two 'L' squashed together...
-
6 RepliesDon’t think we should be applauding them to fix an obvious mistake and not even fix it completely.
-
6 RepliesNo. Don't praise them for half-fixing and obvious bad decision. They literally don't care about you or the game. They only ever jump to action when the entire community calls them out, including every single top content creator. What we just witnessed was damage control. Nothing more.
-
Looks like you've been playing a while. Have you forgotten they've done this type of strategy numerous times in the past? Just for the record, it took a few top trending posts to actually make these changes happen. If that is what is required to make changes that were so obvious to begin with, it speaks volumes about how this studios shortcomings have not changed in over 10 years.

Staring to run out of those "fell for it again" awards to hand out around here. Bungie always does this: implements something in a way that they know people will dislike and gauge the amount of backlash to it. If it's too high, they'll do a partial rollback on the system/content (while crucially still making sure it's not a complete reversal) and people like you swoop in and praise them for it. Every single time. It'd be like praising a kid for shattering all the glassware in the cabinet because, after a week of threatening to withhold their allowance, they replaced all the broken glass with slightly crumpled paper Dixie cups. Stop it.

Classic. Bungie make another big F up. Then damage control and people celebrate. What would be more appropriate is to hold Bungie accountable for what seems endlessly making stupid mistakes. Being dishonest. AND normally taking abnormally long to fix any issues. Instead there are still people that will be thanking Bungie like they are conditioned to do so after each and every mistake fix that they try and employ. Mistakes are fine, everyone makes them. Difference here is that they never learn, always continue to be dishonest and try to pass it off as “we are listening”. - You clearly aren’t, otherwise you wouldn’t be making repetitive same mistakes for what now? 8 years? if we give you benefit of the doubt for the first 2.

Edited by Sylok, The Defiled!: 5/15/2025 4:41:29 PM[b]Seems deliberate on their part.[/b] They had 2 months to mention Rite of the Nine.....No info.... They had 2 months worth of twids that they hyped up...."big twid" "Juicy Twid"....Rite of the Nine made no appearance in those TWIDS They had 2 Months worth of Comms over Twitter.....No Rite of the Nine info (instead we got feet picks & Edge of Fate reveal teasers instead....) And look where their first response was? DMG on[b] Twitter[/b], Destiny [b]Twitter[/b] doubling down on the planned schedule....Then the night of or day after.....Destiny [b]Twitter[/b] releasing an improved roadmap for Rite of the Nine that they [i]JUST HAVE TO DO[/i] [u]at the last minute 1 week after launch.[/u] All their Twids talked about everything else except Rite of the Nine. Their TWID 1 week before launch literally said [url]https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/twid_05_01_2025[/url] [quote][b]Three New Rewards Coming with 8.2.6[/b] As you know very well by now, we are reprising the Prophecy, Spire of the Watcher, and Ghost of the Deep Weapon sets with new perks, additional traits, and a renewed look that includes a holofoil version for those of you with the soul of a crow. We think you will love the weapons and their perks,[b][u] so we won't be talking about those here today. Discovering by yourselves what they have to offer will make them a bit more special[/u].[/b] That said, we wanted to give you a little tease of what's to come, so how about we reveal the additional weapons coming to Iron Banner, Trials of Osiris, and Nightfalls?[/quote] They were deliberately silent about how they talked about this event. They wanted us to discover how the event was timegated ourselves.....only to tell us in detail on Twitter shortly after..... They have learned since Into the Light They tried to do the same tactic for Rite of the Nine Expect them to push out events like this again & their response to be "well its too far gone now, can't course correct this time! oopsies!" Do not congratulate them for causing the problem & then fixing it. Yes, as a player, the new structure is better & will be more fun to play. [b]But this all could have been avoided if they even TALKED about the event in the first place.[/b] And they chose to be silent about it instead. That alone should tell you everything you need to know.

No, you don't praise someone who only cares to do better when people are looking but immediately backslides when they're not in the spotlight anymore. This isn't a mistake they should have made to begin with. It's barely been a year since the last time this happened, and it was the exact same kind of event. This is a AAA game studio, not some indie outlet trying to get off the ground.
-
Ummm why don't they just make it all available and the loot increased all the time . This is a false win, it still doesn't correct the bigger problem.
-
Actual bafoon right here !
-
Should not be praised, this is not the first time something like this has happened, ( Nor will it be the last).
-
1 ReplyThere are those that will say we shouldn't praise them for fixing thier screw up But how many devs would ignore the backlash and double down, it's 3 weeks for each dungeon, deal with it!!!, is what Ubisoft would have said The fact they changed it at all proves they care what we want, and added increased loot drops just from killing enemies has an apology
-
Doesn't matter. The incessant whining and entitlement will not stop.
-
I wouldn’t call it a W, but it’s a rare Bungie recovery after an L. However the initial planning for the ROT9 should be looked into to make sure it aligns with the studio’s goals for the future .
-
The Destiny 2 community complained about the wrong thing.. Ghost of the deep is twice as hard as Spire, the wrong modifier and half the community won't get past the timed opening sequence for the first encounter. The community should have cared more about contest mode like difficulty having modifiers
-
-
Nice job Bungie!
-
1 ReplyWill they give navigator and the bow catalyst for the next quest?
-
This community really is just a screaming spoiled child. Eventually after enough crying and stomping around, you're given what you want, just for a moment of silence. Sad to watch
-
1 ReplyHopefully exotic droprate buff and ability to farm the exotic we didn't pick.
-
I’m happy with the change.
-
2 RepliesWell, it's not perfect, as this is confusing af. But it is a significant improvement and we, the community won!
