Destiny 2's API was down all weekend, a dire situation our man has likened to the Dark Ages. But why *is* Bungie so reliant on 3rd party apps for managing gear in such a big game?
the Lightfall expansion three months ago, it promised that an in-game loadout manager would be coming next year too. As yet, we don't know how deep the functionality will be. For me to use it, it will need to offerthat DIM does currently, which means also swapping shaders, emblems, ornaments, subclass fragments and aspects, and more. Without that level of customization, I'll be sticking to the third-party apps, and at the mercy of exactly this sort of outage.
It remains absolutely wild to me that Bungie has effectively outsourced such an essential part of what makes its game playable to enthusiastic community devs. To prove the point, here's a final anecdote: A couple of years ago some clanmates of mine bought a Bungie studio tour as part of a charity auction. As they wandered around the Seattle office, they were immediately struck by something: The developers were using DIM on second screens to move their gear around.
If DIM helps make your time playing Destiny more enjoyable, support the people who make the app. Our goal is to save players their time and energy so you can put it all into playing the game. Become a $5 a month backer if that is worth something to you.https://t.co/omCbbuNhHnSign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.
