Destiny adding opt-in for voice communication

One of the biggest complaints with Destiny — aside from the repetitive grind, that is — is the lack of in-game communication for players. Basically, if you're not in a pre-made fireteam, you can't talk. Kind of weird considering Destiny is heavy on the MMO aspects. Bungie has their reasons for such design, mainly stemming from their experiences with Halo.

Thankfully, that's changing. Bungie confirmed today that they will be allowing players to opt-in to voice communication during matchmade activities, like Strikes and the Crucible.

"Destiny's near-term solution will be to allow players to opt-in to voice communication during matchmade activities," Bungie said. "Work on this feature was underway at launch and should be rolled out this year in Strikes and the Crucible."

Sucks we have to wait, but at least Bungie is listening. Of course, not all of today's announcements were as well-received. As part of today's hotfix, Bungie essentially killed the loot cave. Check out all of the patch notes from today here.
