Bungie revealed its massive Arc 3.0 rework of Destiny 2<\/em><\/span>‘s lightning abilities today, and while the rundown includes a number of changes that are sure to make fans happy, one of its biggest surprises calls back to one of the game’s darker community moments earlier this year. Fortunately, the developer on the receiving end is getting the last laugh.<\/p>\n

At the end of May<\/span>, Destiny 2 <\/em>sandbox design lead Kevin Yanes wrote on Twitter that Twilight Garrison would not be coming back to the game. The fan-favorite Titan Exotic chest piece from Destiny 1<\/em> let players dodge in mid-air, adding more mobility to the lumbering tank class. \u201cTitans will never get air dodge back my guy, it’s part of the warlock identity,\u201d he responded to one player. \u201cSorry but I want to rip that bandaid off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being honest and open with fans ended up igniting a firestorm of vitriol among some of them, resulting in Yanes getting harassed off Twitter. By the time he finally came back, it was only to retweet posts completely unrelated to the game. And it wasn’t just Yanes; other Destiny<\/em> developers took a step back from the community as well, with court cases later revealing just how serious some of the fan threats were getting. There were angry voicemails, slur-filled text messages, and even death threats, according to Bungie’s arguments<\/span>.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, Twilight Garrison is coming back to Destiny 2<\/em> after all, or at least a close spiritual successor. on Wednesday Bungie revealed<\/span> that Titans’ new Arc 3.0 arsenal would include an on-the-ground dodge. \u201cOne of the biggest changes coming to the Arc Titan is the new Thruster class ability,\u201d the development team wrote. \u201cBy double-tapping a button while on the ground, the Titan bursts in their throttle direction at speed, performing a quick first-person evade, comparable in distance to a Hunter’s dodge.\u201d<\/p>\n

It’s not quite Twilight Garrison, but it’s close, and Titan fans are already getting hyped about combining it with an improved Shoulder Charge and Knockout melee to hulk out with.<\/p>\n

Yanes simply responded<\/a><\/span> on Twitter with a famous meme featuring Smash Bros. <\/em>creator Masahiro Sakurai: \u201cnever ask me for anything ever again.\u201d<\/p>\n
