    Destiny One More Sleep

    Destiny One More Sleep


    One More Sleep

    Posted: 30 Sep 2019 04:13 PM PDT

    Five years ago, we began a journey together (and for some of us at Bungie, many years before that when Destiny was just an idea). There have been great, unbelievable days and dark, dark days (I won't repeat myself, but the closing of Director's Cut, Pt. 3 touches on it), and in five years, A LOT has changed from September 9, 2014 – you, me, the Bungie team, Destiny, and the world.

    During 2019, we've developed and shared a clarity of vision we've never had before in Destiny. We're finally going to make the Destiny 2 we've always wanted to make—one world that you and your friends are going to meaningfully change and make memories in. This year, our team has felt the full weight of what we're responsible for (even on your worst days in the game, no one is harder on us than ourselves). But we now have a unified purpose. A calling.

    October 1st is the first step toward what we want Destiny 2 to become. Everything we're doing this fall is more than just any one part – it is Destiny 2 fundamentally evolving and in some ways starting new. It's Shadowkeep, it's New Light, it's Cross Save, it's you, me, and our friends together. It's all of it.

    This isn't just the next chapter of Destiny 2, but the next chapter of us.

    Tomorrow, that journey begins again for all of us and many, many others. These past few months have been awesome with you. Thanks for being the bright points of light shining in the night. You are Destiny's stars. Be that light for the new Guardians wandering around the Tower, soloing a public event, dropping into Crucible for the first time, or trying to learn Raid mechanics you can do with your eyes shut. We were all Kinderguardians once.

    Let's help each other, make some memories, and head back to the Moon and see what's been going on there for the last five years. It's weird to say five years in, but given the year we've had: we're just getting started.

    See you soon.

    Important Notes:

    • During the maintenance, the sub rules are in full effect. Please direct all your low effort or non-destiny related posts ("what are you doing right now?") to this thread only.

    • The subreddit will be locked a few hours before Shadowkeep launch. This is to keep the standard of content as high as possible.

    • After launch, there will be megathreads in place to direct the users. We're trying out something new this time, please give us feedback how you think it worked afterwards.

    • There will be a Story/Lore Megathread in place for 48 hours from launch.

    • As a reminder, our spoilers policy will remain in effect for around 1-2 weeks after the launch of Shadowkeep. NO SPOILERS IN TITLES, PLEASE. THEY WILL BE REMOVED.


    We have some stuff planned to gap the downtime. Glam is looking for suggestions for his flairs, have some stuff to give away & want feedback on some FAQs we've worked on.

    We'll see you on the Moon tomorrow. But don't forget:

    Moon's haunted.

    If you are a new Shadowkeep player, please take the time to create your character's appearance in a way in which you will be happy for years to come. It is, alas, a non-reversible decision unless you completely re-roll your character.

    With them committing to a five year vision for D2, you still have 3 years left to regret a rushed decision.

    Destiny 2: Shadowkeep launches tomorrow.

    And according to video-game analyst Mat Piscatella, since its debut in Sept '14, Destiny is the #2 best-selling FPS franchise in U.S. dollar sales, trailing only Call of Duty. Destiny is also the 7th overall best-selling franchise in tracked sales in that period.

    And as the Forsaken era comes to a close, I’d just like to thank Bungie for the best year of content I’ve experienced thus far in Destiny.

    Posted: 30 Sep 2019 08:08 AM PDT

    The fact that Destiny kept me interested for a full year of content hasn't happened before. Not everything about the last year has been perfect, but it was damn near close. Cheers Bungie, for the last year of content. And here's to another one. 🍻

    A Guardian and their Ghost share an honest conversation before September's end.

    Posted: 30 Sep 2019 07:42 PM PDT

    A lone Guardian sits on their ship, deep in thought with a perplexed look on their face. Their curious Ghost materializes to their side.

    "What are you thinking about?" The Ghost asks.

    "September's almost over." The Guardian replies in a worrying tone.

    "Indeed it is." The Ghost says. "Is that important?"

    "Is it- is it important?!" The Guardian turns to their ghost. "Haven't you noticed?"

    "Noticed?" The Ghost ask, perplexed. "Is there something important about September?"

    The Guardian sighs. "Ok, Ghost, you see..."

    The Ghost chuckles. "Are you being serious? Of course I've noticed. World ending threats always seem to show up in September."

    "So you did notice, you little flashlight." The Guardian flicks their Ghost with their finger. "So you should know why I'm worried."

    "Shouldn't you be relieved?" The Ghost asks. "Maybe nothing happening this September means we're in the clear this year."

    "Or maybe that means something even worse is coming."

    "Oh, come on." The Ghost says. "It's not like it's only bad things that happen in September. I mean, I found you in September. September's like, your birth month."

    "Yeah, and I tend to get world ending threats for my birthday."

    "You're being dramatic. You should relax more."

    "Really Ghost?" The Guardian says, annoyed. "Excuse me if I'm a bit worried after everything that's happened the last 5 years. Everything was good the first year, nothing I couldn't handle. Then a transsexual alien king shows up and blows the entire Awoken fleet to bits."

    "You handled that just fine."

    "Then there was the whole SIVA crisis."

    "Sure but you took care of that. And now there's a new generation of Iron Lords."

    "What about the Red War? Space turtles took the traveler and nearly blew up our sun."

    "Well, that year didn't start so well. But we came out on top in the end."

    "Last year Cayde died..."

    There's a silence.

    "Look," the Ghost says. "You just need to have a brighter outlook on things. I'm sure things will be fine this year."

    "Yeah." The Guardian perks up a little. "Maybe you're right. I should just relax."

    There's suddenly a beep on the ship's console. The Ghost examines.

    "Incoming message from Commander Zavala."

    The Guardian raises an eyebrow. "What does it say?"

    "Umm... Moon is haunted. All guardians to report to the tower immediately to prepare for assault tomorrow morning."

    The Guardian stares at the Ghost, with a minor hint of frustration.

    "It could be nothing." The Guardian continues staring, their frustration more apparent.

    "Well, at least it won't be September tomorrow."

    EDIT: Thanks for the gold anonymous stranger!

    Dead Game...

    Posted: 30 Sep 2019 12:38 PM PDT

    Do you remember when we used to play this game for hours upon hours upon hours?
    Do you remember the grind? The frustration? The excitement?
    Do you remember when we used to LFG for raid teams? For crucible sherpas? For new clans to join?
    Do you remember running strike after strike after strike just for the fun of it?
    Do you remember when every Friday we'd all try to find ol' squid face and see what new gifts he would bring?
    Do you remember the whispers on Io when a mysterious portal opened up and the entire community freaked out trying to figure out what was going on?
    Do you remember going to Mercury and finally meeting the legendary Osiris?
    Do you remember when we first set foot on Mars for the second time and finally met the Rasputin?
    Do you remember when we hunted down the vile Prince who killed our legendary jester of the Hunter Vanguard?
    Do you remember releasing the curse upon the homeland of the Reefborn Awoken?
    Do you remember cracking the seal on a mysterious vault in the Tower only to meet its mysterious curator?
    Do you remember finally learning more about the Drifter only to choose side with or against the Vanguard?
    Do you remember Calus calling us back time and time again to win his favor throughout the Leviathan?

    Now, look at this game? Not a one single player left online. There are no active servers. Everyone's been kicked out of this living, breathing world. It seems like only yesterday I would log in, run to the tower, pick up bounties, and see what my friends were doing. Now, they're nowhere to be seen. Unable to continue their grind. I can't say that I blame them. We've been playing Destiny for five years now. Maybe it is time to move on. Maybe it is time to find something new. But, who will be there to vanquish the hordes of Vex? Kill off the legions of Cabal? Destroy the masses of Fallen? Who will stand up for our brethren who have passed before us and never returned? Who fight for the blueberries wandering around without a sense of what to do or where to go? Who will prevent them from destroying those Spider Tanks before we can make the event go heroic? We will be there to remember the legendary battles at Six Fronts and Twilight Gap? What about the Reef Wars, the Taken War, or even the Eliksni siege? Who will be there to speculate about the fate of the Traveler, the Pyramid ships, or the fate or the Stranger, Prince Uldren and his sister the Queen? So, whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather, he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial land tank outside Rubicon. He's well protected. But with the right team we can punch through their defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.

    We've fought back the Red Legion. We've vanquished an Ahamkara . We've quarantined SIVA. Hell, we've slayed gods! Let us pick up our arms once again, Guardian! Grab your friends, your clan-mates, and maybe even some blueberries along the way! Let us fight back the Darkness. For tomorrow, we lay siege to those enemies of the Last City! Tomorrow...we take back the Moon!

    Moon's haunted.

    Maintenance Day Contest

    Posted: 30 Sep 2019 01:17 PM PDT

    Hey Guardians,

    with the servers offline for both Destiny 1 and Destiny 2, we thought we'd fill the time with a short, fun contest. While we don't have the ability to give away game copies, we hope you have some fun nonetheless!

    We have different categories you can compete in:

    • Category 1: Favorite Destiny Screenshot or Wallpaper.
      • Needs to be taken from in-game D1 or D2.
    • Category 2: Favorite Destiny jokes, puns, ditties or limericks.
      • Be creative!
    • Category 3: Photos of food that's shaped like something in Destiny.
      • Please no Traveler shaped oranges.
      • Of special note, the first two people to fully spell out J-O-T-U-N-N with pieces of toast are guaranteed private choice of whichever emblem they want. The toasty champions have been selected! However, do not let this discourage you from further entries. There's still the rest of the prizes to be won!

    You can compete in any number of those categories, and can win one of the following:

    This is just a fun, short-lived contest. Not many rules:

    • One top level comment per user. If you want to compete in multiple categories, please edit your only comment, do not make another one.
      • Feel free to comment on other peoples submissions though!
    • Contest mode is enabled, but we mods still see the votes. So upvote your favorite entries :)
    • The contest will run until ~2hours before SK launch, codes will be sent out until the end of the week.
    • This is mostly for funsies. We won't use a rigid system to judge posts ;)

    Have fun, and good luck!

    Twas the night before Shadowkeep...

    Posted: 30 Sep 2019 07:42 AM PDT

    Twas the night before Shadowkeep,
    And all over the Moon
    Many creatures were stirring,
    Even Cayde? Too soon.

    The Hive were loading their Boomers
    with care,
    Knowing the Guardians would soon
    be there.

    The Witch-Queen was plotting, safe
    in her throne,
    With Eris exploring, all
    on her own;
    So Zavala and Shaxx, settled down
    for the night
    For September, at last, had brought
    no great fight.

    When all over Luna, there arose such a
    clatter,
    Ikora got up to see what was the
    matter.
    Off to the Moon she flew like a flash,
    And brought along Eris, to land with a
    crash.

    The light of her Ghost on the transfigured
    Moon,
    Made the Hive seem misshapen, as scarlet
    as doom.
    When what, to her wondering eyes
    appeared there,
    But a red Shadowkeep, and countless
    Nightmares!

    Their master awakened, evil and heartless,
    They knew in a moment - it was the
    Darkness.
    More rapid than TR3-VR its Nightmares
    they came,
    And it whistled, and shouted, and called
    them by name.

    "Now, Phogoth! Now, Taniks! Now,
    Omnigul, Crota!
    On, Fikrul! On, Eriana! On, Ghaul and
    Sai Mota!
    To the top of the Keep! To the Black
    Garden's gate!
    Now, dash away! Dash away! Just don't be late!"

    And then, heard the Guardians from the
    Keep across,
    The stomping and roaring of each
    Nightmare boss.
    As they drew their (nerfed) guns, and were turning around,
    Down from that Keep, came Crota with a
    bound!

    He was armored in green, from his head
    to his foot,
    And his helmet was tarnished with
    Gjallarhorn soot;
    A newly forged sword he was holding up
    high,
    And he looked very angry - I can't imagine
    why.

    Crota spoke none, but went straight to his
    work,
    But soon began glitching; then turned with
    a jerk.
    He pointed at Eris - "Moon's haunted!" She
    said.
    Then, still bugging out, to the Hellmouth he
    fled.

    He sprang to his throne, to his Hive gave a
    whistle,
    They all ran to Crota like the down of a
    thistle.
    But I heard him exclaim, as he stomped out
    of sight,
    "GOOD SHADOWKEEP TO ALL, AND TO
    ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!"
