Destiny 2 Dev Tracker

Some TWABS will be meaty, giving topics for you to chew on and discuss for hours on end. Others will be business as usual. This week may be a light week, depending on whether or not we can get some info together.

We have a bit to talk about before Nov 10, but things are still in development and we want to get our ducks in a row to make sure our messaging is clear and factual.

We know you want to hear about things like Transmog, further DCV details, Sandbox updates, and other general changes to Destiny 2 features. Details will come in time, and we’ll be more than happy to get that info to you when it’s ready. Until then, we’ve got Moments of Triumph, seasonal events, and general D2 gameplay to keep you company.

What aspects of Nova Warp feel to need the most attention?

We’ve passed a bit of general feedback over to the team, but I’d love to see examples. Tell me about your feelings on damage, movement, abilities, or whatever your heart desires.

Thanks for the post. I think I replied to one of these a few weeks back, but the major feedback points I’ve shot to the team are...

• Competing for kills can be frustrating, players would like to see shared fireteam progress
• There aren’t enough strikes that feature large amounts of Fallen consistently. Strikes like Arms Dealer can have a bunch of fallen, or be mostly cabal. This prevents natural feeling progress on the bounty

Thanks again for the continued feedback.

So do I.

Yes, networking is very difficult.

Going into Season of the Worthy, we took protecting players from DDOS very seriously and worked hard to try and create the best possible experience possible. Despite efforts to cover all our bases, we inevitably ran into some bugs with both new and old code that we didn’t catch in a test environment. Since the launch of Season of the Worth several of us including Fletcher have been working diligently hunting down these bugs of which a couple had a significant impact on beaver errors for all players not just those frequently connecting to the bad relay servers. Ultimately, we reached a point where just about every point of failure within Destiny had been ruled out or addressed:

1) The first issue we ran into had to do with our connection handshake not being robust when exchanging hello messages simultaneously from both sides of the connection. In some cases, both peers could end up confused as to which peer they are in the hell...
