Bungie Answers Destiny 2 Nightfall Scoring Questions

Published

March 4, 2018

Another week, another issue with Bungie and it’s once-popular Destiny 2 title which can’t seem to get on the right track, or stay on any positive track at all.

For all of the issues that have plagued the game, Bungie has slowly sorted many out and is now addressing questions following the implementation of Destiny 2 Nightfall Scoring.

Bungie did so in a recent update, which you can read below:

How do players acquire Nightfall emblem variants?

Dev Team: Nightfall emblem variants have a chance to drop from Nightfall completions. It’s not related to challenges, and it’s not a guaranteed drop. For each variant, the chance increases from 0% to as high as 50% at specific score thresholds per variant. Currently, those thresholds are as follows:

Tier 1: 20k
Tier 2: 40k
Tier 3: 60k
Tier 4: 80k

Why aren’t those tiers visible in-game, and will they ever change?

Dev Team: We’re planning to adjust the score thresholds as we come to better understand what the community considers an impressive high score, and we don’t currently have a great way to display dynamic settings like that. Every week that a Nightfall returns, we may increase the Aura threshold based on community high scores from the previous week that Nightfall was active. We’ll do that based on some percentile of the community, potentially the top 10%. The current 60k threshold is based on internal playtests—we expect the community to be better than us, so it should be expected that threshold will increase the next time “Tree of Probabilities” comes around.

Why were base Nightfall modifiers removed?

Dev Team: The removal of the base modifiers from Nightfall is because we want to emphasize core combat in this initial release and let the community define the meta for a high-scoring Nightfall run. We can certainly revisit the modifiers in the future—they’re not dead and buried. Open to player feedback.

Note: We are currently investigating an issue where Heroic Mercury Adventure modifiers are not appearing for some players. This was not intentional, and we’ll update you on the status of the issue when we have more information.

We’re planning on reporting the top three fireteam high scores each week. Right now, Json#11981, Mercer#11929, and loaked#11981 are leading with a score of 222,873. Think you can best them before the reset? We’ll post the top scores next Tuesday after the reset.

Gamers who play WWE Supercard will receive limited edition cards featuring Ric and Charlotte Flair, as well as a Nature Boy -themed WWE 2K19 cardback.

Flair has attained numerous honors in his wrestling career, and it is cool to see him receive a collector’s edition based on him. It’s also fitting that he is one of the faces of WWE 2K19 along with its cover star, current WWE Champion A.J. Styles.

The Nature Boy managed the Phenomenal One during their time in Total Nonstop Action. They were even a part of the Fortune stable, which was based on the legendary Four Horsemen which Flair was a longtime member.

Flair is regarded as the greatest wrestler of his time and has had great matches with a who’s who of wrestling legends. Styles is seen as one of the best in the world, being a multiple-time champion in TNA, New Japan Pro Wrestling and WWE. During his current WWE run, he has had the best matches on the company’s main roster against guys like John Cena, Roman Reigns and even current Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.
