While most players would agree that the Forsaken expansion really managed to fix many of the core issues of Destiny 2, it didn’t solve everything. In fact, player complaints seemed to center on the scarcity of Masterwork Cores, a resource needed to infuse armor and weapons to higher power level tiers. While the name of these items was later changed to Enhancement Cores, their function and scarcity remained much to the chagrin of the community. While these items and their inclusion in infusion cost have always been a hot topic for players, the developers at Bungie are preparing to make a pretty big change soon.
The news comes directly from Destiny 2 community manager dmg04, who delivered the news via his Twitter account. After holding a meeting with the team to discuss feedback surrounding Enhancement Cores, the studio has decided to put together a plan to address this issue for future seasons. Unfortunately, no concrete details were provided in the Tweet, though players will likely find out more in Bungie’s weekly blog post tomorrow.
While Bungie has attempted to alleviate the resource scarcity in the past by making Enhancement Cores available for purchase from the NPC known as The Spider or completing random Scraper bounties, the heightened cost when infusing two items that are different types remains a barrier for many. It’s even caused some to develop Enhancement Core farming strategies that involve purchasing materials from various vendors and dismantling engrams purchased with Legendary Shards. Hopefully, with this new plan in place, players won’t be forced to resort to such tedious methods.
Community feedback has been an important tool for Bungie prior to Forsaken launching. Months before, the studio opened its doors to select members to playtest what would later become Gambit and offer their thoughts on Destiny 2 as a whole.
The event was so successful that Bungie is planning on holding another summit later this month to collect information before the final Annual Pass season begins. The reveal came courtesy of Gladd, a high profile Destiny 2 content creator and member of Clan Redeem, though he did not provide any additional details about the event itself.
Destiny 2: Season of the Drifter is live for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
