Revision history for Destiny 2 Prestige Leviathan Raid Rewards Explained
Additions:
Before the _Destiny 2 _ Prestige Leviathan raid goes live, all the rewards for finishing the mode have been revealed - so as to give players a little more motivation in tackling the upgraded level. A couple of weeks after the sequel’s release on major consoles like Xbox One and PlayStation 4, some fans of the online-only multiplayer first-person shooter video game may already be looking to up the stakes and challenges. Fortunately, Bungie has something in store for them, with the release of the more difficult version of the Leviathan r

Microtransactions, the in-game purchase of virtual goods with real money, has becoming increasingly prevalent in recent years. First appearing in free-to-play mobile phone games such as Farmville and Candy Crush , recent years have seen microtransactions incorporated into console game series such as Guitar Hero Live and Deus Ex . Microtransactions, it should be noted, differ from traditional downloadable content (or DLC) in that they typically offer players a concrete advantage over other players, such as better weapons and armor, verses the different costumes and character skins commonplace to traditional

Beyond encouraging a "pay-to-win" mentality, the legality of microtransactions has been called into question.

The Destiny 2 Prestige Leviathan raid was originally supposed to go live this week. However, Bungie decided to push it back for another week and has now a new roll-out schedule set on Wednesday, October 18 at 10am PT.

Call of Duty WWII __ developer Activision have been granted a patent for a new matchmaking system - one that analyzes player behavior and tweaks their gaming experiences to encourage microtransactions. Loot Boxes and in-game purchases have become increasingly controversial, with more triple-A games releasing with some variation of this component. The recent beta for Star Wars Battlefont II raised the issue of how monetized loot boxes have become problematic. Likewise, the full release of Middle-earth: Shadow of War has been criticized for being pay-to-win, with a Loot Chest system that allows players to use real-world money to purchase followers, gear, and even
Bungie's reputation with gamers is hanging by a thread judging by how they've been treating their consumer base lately. And the problem is that this isn't anything new for them... or for Activision. The developer employed the same shady tactics in the first Destiny game, and they got away with it, for the most part, which is why they've brought the same mechanic back for the sequel. But now that the gaming industry is under fire for its predatory tactics, with EA bearing the brunt of the industry's consumer backlash , Bungie deciding to use the same mechanics for Destiny 2 may just tip their fan base against t

Bungie continues working against players as they've now blocked select **Destiny 2 ** end-game content for those who haven't purchased the game's DLC. The game's first mini-expansion, Curse of Osiris , released this past Tuesday and came with new missions - as well as an increase in the game's soft level cap, from 20 to 25, and gear level cap, from 300 to 330 (gear can be increased by 5 using legendary mods) - in addition to introducing new higher-level, end-game content, such as Heroic Stri

Deletions:
However, Destiny 2 was never going to maintain this reputation purely on its vanilla content, and developer Bungie has a timeline of expansion releases similar to the first Destiny . The first of these expansions is called Curse of Osiris , and this additional content has just received its first trailer (watch it abo
The release of a new gameplay mode in Destiny 2 comes at a great time for the game, which will see an influx of returning players thanks to the Warmind expansion's release. While the game hasn't exactly struggled in maintaining a core player base, Destiny 2 has been criticized for a lack of variety in its content, something that was a major issue in the original Destiny as w
Not that the standard version of the raid is not challenging enough, but the leveled-up iteration offers a little bit more for those seeking an even more hardcore Destiny 2 gameplay. And of course, the new mode also comes with a slew of some nifty new things that should make the Prestige raid more enticing for players. Bungie has already said that they do not expect everyone to clear out the level. However, these goodies might just give gamers the extra motivation they need to succeed in what would be their latest endea
Bungie also confirmed exactly when players can expect Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris to drop. The Curse of Osiris expansion will be released on December 5, 2017, for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. At the moment, further details regarding new weapons or armor are unknown, but fans should expect to find out more in the run-up to the expansion's release in Decem

Officially, the Vanguard has no idea what happened to him after that, beyond a vague report that he went to Mercury. But based on the just-released trailer for Curse of Osiris , it seems that at least one Guardian has secretly been keeping tabs on him: his protégé, Ikora Rey. Given his interest in the Vex, it shouldn't be surprising that Osiris turned up on the closest planet to our sun — a planet now used by the Vex as part of its universal hive mind netw
Bungie has been establishing a much more intimate relationship with fans when it comes to information regarding Destiny 2 's future, so Johnson playing coy most likely means that he isn't being hyperbolic regarding the new gameplay mode. If Bungie hasn't informed fans about what to expect from the fall release yet, it's because it is a massive development. Destiny 2 features a detailed roadmap of its content plans that extends into the late summer currently, with no information regarding the expansion in the fall as of
Although Destiny 2 is certainly a lot of fun, there's a definite sense that Bungie needs to bring some additional content to the table to match with the timeframes of the first Destiny . After all, plenty of players may have exhausted the list of Destiny 2 Easter eggs to uncover , and perhaps even grown a little weary of trying to grab those Destiny 2 Prestige Leviathan Raid rewards . If so, those players will certainly be grateful for Curse of Osiris , should the expansion prove to be substantial content-w
Over time, he came up with theories that other Guardians considered blasphemous, and he began using City resources to dig deeper into his obsessions. Those obsessions drove him mad, to the point that the Speaker was forced to depose him from his Vanguard position and exile him from Earth. It appears that he still has his Light powers, tho
