Destiny 2’s Biggest Problem Is Something that NetEase Has Successfully Eliminated With its Mobile Counterpart

The Closed Alpha for Destiny: Rising just ended, giving thousands of players worldwide the opportunity to test out Destiny 2‘s mobile counterpart ahead of its official release. Although the game’s official release date is still unknown, Destiny: Rising will take players to a completely different solar system in a different universe from Destiny 1 and 2.

This will give fans a new perspective on Guardians’ early history in addition to enabling them to play Destiny on a different platform. It’s unclear how long-time Destiny players will react to this new timeline, but it might be advantageous for other well-known games like Halo and God of War to introduce new alternate universes. Also, the game edges past its PC counterpart in a brilliant way.

Destiny: Rising has made the player onboarding system smooth

It doesn’t matter if someone thinks Destiny 3 is the future or not at this point. Whatever happens next, Destiny still has to deal with the specter of onboarding and the narrative void between The Red War and Shadowkeep, which is preventing new players from joining the game. However, Destiny: Rising had sorted it out.

The dedicated player onboarding system in Destiny: Rising is among its most striking updates. Beginners can access a whole section of Destiny: Rising that is filled with video walkthroughs, tutorials, and guides that cover the fundamentals of the game.

In an area where Destiny 2 has continuously failed, this organized tutorial system makes it simple for new players to pick up the basics and feel accepted. The player onboarding system in Destiny 2 has long been criticized for being too complicated and confusing for new players.

Although Bungie has made some strides in this area, Destiny 2 could benefit greatly from a similar tutorial system to help new players interact with its expansive and complex world, which could further expand the community. Even after this, Destiny 2 players still suffer from another problem.

Destiny: Rising is better than Destiny 2 in other departments as well

Simply clicking on a weapon’s perk slots in Destiny: Rising allows players to view the full pool of perk combinations that are available for that weapon. At the moment, only third-party apps allow Destiny 2 players to accomplish this.

The feature, which offers a rapid and thorough overview of all the possible builds and configurations a weapon can have, is integrated directly into Destiny: Rising. For Destiny 2 players who are interested in optimizing their loadouts without depending on outside sources, this kind of feature would be revolutionary.

One of the subtler yet incredibly helpful features in Destiny: Rising is the addition of exact numbers on the health and shield bar. In Destiny 2, players only see a general health bar at the top of the HUD, but without any clear numbers attached, it’s often hard to gauge exactly how much health you have left before going down.

Destiny: Rising’s alpha HUD shows exact health and shield values, giving players a better sense of where they stand mid-battle. This small but impactful change could be incredibly helpful in Destiny 2, especially in endgame content, like Grandmaster Nightfalls, Raids, etc.
