Destiny 2 now requires twice as much XP to earn levels

There was a big blowup in Destiny 2 leading into the weekend when it came to light that a hidden scaling system was reducing the amount of XP awarded to players—sometimes dramatically—while simultaneously indicating that it was being given. Caught with its hand in the Pop-Tarts jar, Bungie didn't exactly fess up, but rather said that the system was "not performing the way we’d like it to," and that it had therefore decided to switch it off. Sketchy, yes, but score one for Destiny 2 players who would now start earning level-ups—and more importantly, the bright engrams that come with each new level—at a proper, faster pace. Except that it didn't take long for another smart redditor to notice something else fishy going on.

Destiny 2 trial version goes live tomorrow

Bungie has announced that it will launch a free trial version of Destiny 2 tomorrow that will give gamers who are still on the fence a taste of the single-player campaign mode in two of the game's locales, the European Dead Zone on Earth and the remains of a floating human habitat on the Saturnian moon of Titan. Along with the related campaign missions and opportunity to explore "two full worlds," trial players will be able to join clans and take part in competitive multiplayer combat in the Crucible via the Quickplay list. Player progress will be restricted to level 7, but characters will carry over to the full game if and when it's purchased. Speaking of which, Destiny 2 remains on sale right now on Battle.net—although you can still pick up the standard edition for a few bucks cheaper at Green Man Gaming. Details are up at destinythegame.com.
