The Destiny 2 community has been on a rollercoaster ride lately, and it seems like Bungie just added a new twist. Players logging in after the launch of Act 2 were greeted with a surprise: the Rite of the Nine dungeon mode had gone live ahead of schedule. What was meant to be a polished experience turned into a chaotic spectacle, leaving many scratching their heads and laughing at the absurdity.
Initially, players thought they had stumbled upon a stealth launch designed to thrill fans. However, it quickly became apparent that this was not the case. Instead, what unfolded was a comical disaster showcasing just how far from ready this content was.
The first hint something was off? No announcement popped up to herald this new addition. Then there were two Xur Treasure Horde icons, one completely unlaunchable. Players began dropping weapons that looked like they were still in development, lacking any finishing touches or polish.
I can’t recall the last time I laughed out loud during a Destiny 2 content drop, but here we are. Players are scrambling to farm these unfinished weapons while pondering what might happen next. This situation doesn’t feel like one of those amusing bugs where a weapon does too much damage; it’s more akin to stepping into a broken carnival ride.
Bungie faces some tough decisions ahead. They could issue a patch to remove this glitchy content or even consider rolling back the game entirely, a move that hasn’t been made lightly in Destiny’s history. The risk with such action is that anything accomplished between now and then could vanish into thin air: story quests, loot, you name it. So even if players are tempted to jump into these buggy dungeons, sticking with regular seasonal activities might be wiser until clarity emerges.
