Must-Know Festive Frustrations: Destiny 2 Players Riled Up Over Festival of the Lost Feature

Highlights

Destiny 2 players are frustrated with the constant dialogue from Immaru during the Haunted Sectors activity in the Festival of the Lost event.

Immaru's dialogue, especially the repetitive lines upon a Headless One's demise, has caused certain players to disable in-game dialogue. Additionally, the implementation of a one-time usage Memento in the form of an all-black shader has drawn criticism from fans.

Destiny 2 players have expressed their frustration with Immaru's dialogue playing every time a Headless One is killed in Haunted Sectors. This is part of the ongoing Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost event, which offers players the chance to obtain new loot and rewards.

Destiny 2 has 4 major limited-time events throughout the year: Solstice of Heroes, Guardian Games, Festival of the Lost, and The Dawning. Festival of the Lost occurs during Halloween and includes a temporary activity known as Haunted Sectors. This year's Festival of the Lost also introduces Legend Haunted Sectors and a new method of focusing Exotic armor without requiring rare materials. While most of the mechanics of the Haunted Sectors remain the same, players are unhappy with a new addition for this year.

The players are frustrated with the dialogue lines spoken by Immaru, Savathun's Ghost, in Destiny 2 Season of the Witch. Immaru has a significant role in the story, as Savathun was resurrected to aid the Guardians against Xivu Arath but secured her freedom by keeping Immaru in the Vanguard's custody. Since Immaru is currently residing in The Tower, their voice can be heard in the Haunted Sectors, which has become bothersome to players. However, it is not Immaru himself that is irritating, but rather the excessive frequency at which their dialogue is played in those areas. Certain lines, such as "Heads up, Guardian!" and "Don't disappoint me neon nerd," play every time a Headless One is defeated in the Haunted Sectors, leading some players to disable dialogue altogether. Additionally, this year's Festival of the Lost has introduced new Eerie engrams, offering players the ability to focus on festival weapons. Furthermore, Destiny 2 has introduced its first-ever all-black shader called Memento, but fans were unhappy with Bungie's decision to make it a single-use item.

In addition, Bungie has provided extensive information on its plans for Season 23 of Destiny 2, which includes significant adjustments to Exotic armor. Furthermore, the game will gradually eliminate the use of Legendary Shards during Destiny 2 Season 23, with their complete removal coinciding with the release of The Final Shape DLC. Destiny 2 is currently accessible on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
