Destiny 2 devs avoid being the fun police by deciding not to fix popular bug

Destiny 2 Episode Heresy has been a lot of fun so far. Recently, Bungie confirmed huge buffs that were not part of the patch notes, meanwhile, players have also been getting “unreleased” weapons. Now D2 fans have discovered an unintended feature, and Bungie have avoided being the fun police by deciding not to fix the popular Destiny 2 bug.

Bungie confirms they are not fixing popular Destiny 2 bug

On the official Destiny subreddit, Bungie have confirmed they are aware of a bug that resulted in “class lockouts for the Exotic Glaives and a handful of Swords [being] mistakenly removed”.

While aware that it is a bug, Bungie has seen “some great celebrations with the removal of these constraints”. Bungie initially intended to fix the bug as they “want to retain strong class-based fantasies,” and “it’s a bit weird to see a Warlock or a Hunter spawning a mini-bubble or seeing a Titan running like a ninja”.

However, after seeing the community reaction, they have decided to not fix the bug, and Bungie’s outlook now is that it’s a “fun example of a bug becoming a feature”.

Below are highlighted observations from Bungie for the bug:

• Animations may look a bit weird given that the class-based Swords are a bit older, and this can create fun opportunities for players to create videos, art, or other based on classes in different stances.
• Class-based Glaives open up some interesting new buildcrafting opportunities. In the future, we will be keeping a close eye on how these Glaives are performing across all three classes. Our goal is to ensure that they feel most powerful on the class they were originally designed for.
• The core of the feedback for the Quickfang and Goldtusk Swords revolves around player fantasies of being a ninja or sword master, so we’re going to use this feedback to inspire future animations. No promises on timelines or anything like that, but this gives us some fun creative spaces to work with for Titans and Warlocks.

In response to Bungie not fixing the bug, a lot of players have showered praise on the developer. There are many comments echoing the sentiment that this is a “huge win”.

For more Destiny 2, leaks have revealed a weapon “that’s so good it feels like you’re cheating,” and Sony has responded to a $200 million dollar lawsuit from former D2 director.
