Instead of making Guardians stand around and hope something happens soon, the developers could implement some unique minigames or missions which lead up to the event’s climax. For starters, suggesting an official start time for an event should indicate players will actually have activities to engage with at that time. If Bungie plans to continue with live events, they should not pass up the opportunity to make them better. Join us for an epic journey 6 days of total LIVE immersion at the greatest virtual event in history with Tony At Date With Destiny, you’ll discover who you are at the deepest level and why and you’ll connect with your ultimate purpose, ignite your passion and create a NEW plan to achieve the ultimate vision of every area of your life. Bungie could have even just created a cutscene featuring the Almighty’s destruction, in lieu of a grueling hour-and-a-half wait masquerading as a live event. Bungie would have been better off letting Rasputin’s projectiles collide with the Almighty just a few minutes after the event began. The problem was no one knew what was going to happen or when it was going to happen, which discouraging players from leaving the Tower to engage in other activities for fear of missing out on something. Players could have saved themselves over an hour of time by waiting to load into the Tower until five minutes before the Almighty’s destruction.

Even the actual explosion of the Almighty and its plummet into the EDZ lasted a maximum of 10 minutes. While Bungie’s efforts to implement new events to keep Destiny 2 relevant are commendable, the amount of time that elapsed from the beginning of the event to the climax did nothing to make the event worth it.

The crash triggered a shockwave, blasting back into the Tower. At last, after 90 minutes of watching, waiting, and looking for in-game stimulation, the projectiles slammed into the Almighty, obliterating the superweapon in a blinding flash that sent the powerful construct careening past the Tower and into the EDZ. Looking away for a few minutes and then looking back was the primary means by which one could notice some progress of these streaks. Unfortunately, watching these presumed projectiles make their way to the target was akin to watching paint dry, as the naked eye couldn’t pick up any perceptible movement from these objects.

Guardians gathered, staring up at the sky, waiting to witness something – anything – in vain. Bungie had hinted Rasputin would be doing something to the Almighty in Destiny 2's first live event, but for at least 45 minutes nothing seemed to happen. This is all highly related to the planets disappearing and it has been confirmed in this ViDoc that one of the story elements will be about the missing planets.Players gathered in the Tower, as instructed by Bungie, to keep their eyes on the Almighty as it hovered in orbit in front of the Sun. I am glad Bungie is planning a Live Event – I find them to be riveting and you should be excited as it is something to bring the community together while maintaining the immersion factor. Bungie introduced the first-ever live event in Destiny 2 in Season of the Worthy.
#Destiny 2 live event Offline
The implication here is to avoid any leaks? In either case, it is best to log in at 7pm ET and wait to see what happens, because shortly after, a massive server shut down starts at 10pm ET rendering Destiny 2 to be offline for 14hrs.
#Destiny 2 live event update
However, before any of this occurs, you’ll notice Bungie has said that on Monday at 7pm ET, players will be removed from activities and asked to download a small update before logging back in. Maybe forcing the Traveler away from the backdrop of the social space? Capitalizing “Light” and “A little time to chill in the Tower” indicates to me an event between the Traveler and Darkness. Seems like another event happening in the tower – and yes….Luke’s tweet is a bit cryptic. Yup, something is definitely planned – but we don’t have an concrete time as to when.
