Besides content, Bungie discusses the more technical side by revealing some back-end changes to missions, courtesy of the Engineering Director, David Aldridge. The director explains how the team simply didn’t anticipate how muchDestiny 2would grow back at its launch, and that the decision to not work on aDestiny 3means that a lot of tech investments are going into makingDestiny 2sustainable.
Notably, the mission scripting model is shifting from the Mission Host to the Physics Host, which will give designers the ability to create more unique mission mechanics, and that this shift will happen inBeyond Light. Players are warned to look out for morebugs inDestiny 2due to the shift. One new feature of this shift is face-to-face join, so people can be on a Fireteam with Tower friends and avoid a long reload.Beyond Lightis also bringing in more Community emblems, like Fashion and Movie of the Week.
Hopefully, by changing the way mission scripting works,missions inDestiny 2will eventually flow smoother and give players less time to sit around and wait, even if it means there will be more bugs to report for now. Bungie says community members are always welcome to submit bug reports, which can help the devs get on fixes faster and make the game run smoother for everyone.
