 What is going on guys, welcome back to the channel and I appreciate you being here. Today I want to cover another aspect of the bungee blog posted a couple days back on major changes coming to Destiny 2 which for sure in the mind of many will improve the game for the better. I also often think that many aspects were good, not perfect and won't completely fix the game but it's definitely heading in the right direction. Now the aspect I want to cover today is Zer and the changes he brings and the impact they will have on the game and the reasoning behind why his broad items he has when basically it's against what most of us want for the game. But before we go any further people if you want to win some epic loot in the form of exclusive emblem and sparrow codes give cards and much more simply hit that like button on the video leave a comment down below and join my discord server linked within the video description. Okay so Zer, with the December DLC update on the 5th with the Curse of Osiris Zer's inventory will change and he will bring a select few new items to the game. Firstly he will bring this new fated exotic engram this you can purchase once per week and it will cost you 97 of your legendary shards. What this fated engram does is reward you an exotic you don't already have in your collection. As you see reads an engram with a predestined outcome it will contain a new exotic if any remain to be collected. Now before I state my opinion on this and address many issues people have with these let's check out the other new consumable to the game the three coins yes they are back. In Destiny 1 you could put one of these just before you defeat a boss complete a strike or before you finish a PvP game and so forth they could also be stacked although I can't remember the effects but once you had used one and completed set activity the effects were gone. They basically gave you a better chance of getting that also juicy loot in Destiny 2 they are a little bit different they do not stack or there's no need to do so as once one is applied the effects last four hours no matter how many bosses you kill strikes you complete or PvP games you take part in. Okay so Zer a person many people don't actually agree on being here within the first place too many think he takes away a lot of the grind this game offers and to be honest that ain't much at the moment him bringing these new items will allow you to get exotics even easier which is what most people don't understand the main issue people had and complained about when it came to Destiny 2 is the lack of end game grind the lack of quality of life Bungie basically allowed us to exploit these new changes with Zer basically make the grind for exotics even easier. Most people are thinking well why introduce easier ways of getting exotics and end game gear isn't this exact opposite of what the community wants in fact it actually is but is there a smarter move behind this by Bungie the fact is exotics are the ultimate end game loot while people think they are what else is there left for people to obtain once all exotics have been found this in my opinion is definitely the mindset of the casual player who dedicates maybe between two and ten hours per week but this is far from the mindset of someone like me someone who plays the game for more than just exotics yes i am a collector yes i like to collect all exotics but it doesn't end there for me destiny to me from the start is being about chasing this game's best loot whether that be exotic or not since the near start of the game it's been thought of that exotics are the ultimate chase when in fact this couldn't be further than the truth okay you don't believe me answer me this how many exotics were there in the first game which you would use on a regular basis obviously depending on the time of the game but for me there was roughly 10 maybe less icebreaker galahorn touch of malice no land beyond and maybe the plan c armors i'd use here and there but nothing of a major impact there were other weapons i did use but nothing on a regular basis for us hardcore players the grind goes past exotics the quality of life goes way beyond exotics in terms of giving us things to chase in destiny one and i said this many many times the legendaries were there and more exotics so to speak than exotics most legendaries there is no set route in obtaining them that our yard the palindrome up until the crucible court masters started bringing it every week the lung ball the grasp of malice yes it was a strike specific weapon but there was no guarantee you get it the fate bringer the hopscotch pilgrim one i grinded literally seven or eight months for and never had it drop and the iris luna which i still to this day have never had a perfect role on it and there's many many more these were in my opinion more so exotics so to speak than the actual exotics but you had to be a real hardcore player to understand that you seriously had to spend countless hours grinding for most of them way beyond that of what a casual player was willing to put in or just couldn't do due to life in general but the casual player thinks a game like destiny is about collecting loot which they are right but the ultimate collection to them are exotics in bungee adding easier ways of obtaining exotics that will keep the casual player happy yet for us hardcore players maybe the chase goes beyond exotics maybe into the realm of maybe the best world masterworks weapons available maybe the realm of collecting every legendary mercury weapon 11 in total maybe all the ornaments all the iron banner gear offers the vandal gear offer the crucible gear offers the dead orbit new monarchy future walkout the eater of world's red lair armor offers and even beyond that maybe that's our chase maybe that's our in game whereas the in game for casuals are exotics let's put it this way most casuals complain about things being too hard or too long to obtain while hardcore players say the opposite I just think what bungee might be doing here whether they realize it or not is trying to keep both sides of the spectrum happy the casual and hardcore players and it could just work but bungee do have to improve on things for us hardcore players in making the quality of life better have they announced anything which might well not as such but for sure it's heading in the right direction am I mad about there bringing these things which make obtaining exotics much easier deep down no I end because once I've got those exotics they go in my vote and I rarely ever use them I am however kind of disappointed there isn't going to be selling any ammo packs anytime soon but I suppose new things will be added within the near future for sure but yes guys tell me what you think about what I've covered today do you think I make a good point if so spam that like button and on that note guys I am out thanks as always for stopping by and I'll catch you on that next one
