Bungie highlights some of the most important points from fan feedback and reveals how the studio plans to address these issues in the future. marathon Update. Since launch, player feedback has been important to Bungie and we have continued to do so. marathon It is continuously updated with new content added.
In fact, it could be argued that player feedback largely drove the course of the game, as the low response to last year's alpha testing ultimately led Bungie to delay the game and add highly requested features like solo queue and melee chat. while marathon Launching in a much better state with delays and improvements, Bungie has continued to rely on the player community for ways to further improve the experience.

Most Bungie developers are working on Marathon instead of Destiny 2.
A new report indicates that most of the team working at Bungie has been assigned to work on Marathon instead of Destiny 2.
We received a warm response following the update on April 28th. marathonBungie has leveraged social media to address larger player concerns that are currently arising with the game. One of these issues has actually been fixed as part of the latest update. That's because the damage of the popular WSTR shotgun has been nerfed. Bungie says this is only temporary.

Another major talking point is the potential for grenade spam. marathon Game director Joe Ziegler admitted this was a big talking point for the studio's developers. As Bungie points out, players aren't happy with how gunfights typically devolve into raining barrages of grenades. Details about the fix are still fluid, but Bungie has hinted that some potential options could include stock count and stack size limits before the end of Season 1.
Lastly, the Gold Ares Railgun is also included in the list. This specifically included those running Prestige mode, which allows them to one-sidedly attack runners with purple or gold shields. As expected, Bungie stated that this level of damage was unintentional and a fix is currently in the works. Bungie wants the guns to feel strong and powerful, especially with attachments at these levels, but the weapons can't take down runners at those levels, making them frustrating to play against.
Either way, this level of communication between Bungie and players has been consistent ever since, so it's no coincidence. marathon It was released in March. Bungie also promises steady improvements over the years. marathon The development team is involved for the long term.
