- The Accolade
- PvP focus is non-existent and for some players this is the whole game.
- You should get an ascendant shard for valor resets
- At the end of the day, Destiny is a PvE game first, PvP game second, and it has to be
- So iron banner gets an armour set recycled for the 2nd time, shaxx and zavala will be dropping the same thing for the last 15 months now but Eververse will be fully stocked for the season, the dawning and crimson days. This is beyond absurd
- I can't wait for Eris and the Pyramid to join the line of "Unresolved Plots" that Bungie likes to leave hanging
- Year 3 is about playing How you want to play. Make your own Personalized monster killing machine.
- Bungie, please clarify - is the plan to make us re-grind a full armor set every season just for the mod slot?
- I hope Bungie found the time to create double the amount of Eververse items this season vs new in game rewards.
- I was today years old when I realised you can see the Guardians hand carrying the heart when you're taken inside of it.
- With apparently no raid coming with the upcoming season, now would be the perfect time to put older raids in a weekly pinnacle rotation.
- For what it's worth..
- I'm sorry guys, but Saint-14 is not here to stay
- Season of Dawn reveal stream rundown
- I really hope we get to see HOW and WHY Saint-14 is the greatest Titan who ever lived, rather than being told he is
- Can Amanda finally get a new sparrow to fix? She’s been fixing that same sparrow for 2+ years now. The junk is just broke.
- Masterworking Armor is a Waste
- If after the first week of season of Dawn I see a Titan in PvE use a finisher and it’s NOT a headbutt, you will be reported to Zavala for being a disgrace to your order
- I hope Fanboy Vance finally meet Osiris in Season of the Dawn
- I sincerely hope I'm wrong here, but the 'reprised' Iron Banner set seems to be the exact same set we've already earned not once, but twice now.
- "To my inspiration. Your final gift to me I now send back to you. It will be good to see you again." - Saint-14
- Reddit 2019 review is out, DestinyTheGame is 3rd in Top Game Communities
- I'm half tempted to let the cabal rewrite time just so it'll be like D2 Y1 never existed.
- Season of Dawn roadmap
- If you think about it, Saint-14 is one of the only beings in the Destiny univerde that ever "taught" the Vex something, the Vex learned to respect him, you can see it by how divine he looked in his tomb on Mercury, the Vex probably set him up like that on purpose
- The Ramen Shop in the Tower has been closed for a year now. This is an outrage!

| Posted: 04 Dec 2019 10:43 AM PST Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/48434 The Accolade Jasleen was nine cycles old. She stared out from the top of a hill across a blasted, ashen landscape. This morning, this had been her village. Before the Fallen Ketch and its Walkers arrived. Those were equally ruined, reduced to a trio of smoldering, metallic husks at the center of town. But Jasleen was alive, and so were her parents, and her neighbors too, thanks to the Titan who patrolled the region. That Lightbearer, a giant in an iron suit, watched curiously as her father tried in vain to smoke a fire into existence. Her mother stared in silence at the burning ash that used to be their home. Together, they were waiting for the rest of the villagers to return with dinner. Local berries, if they were lucky. "You should come with me," the Lightbearer said to the three of them. "Humanity must unite. There is a foundation forming under the Traveler. Let me take you there." "We would never make it," Jasleen's father growled, fumbling with his bow drill. "We can't afford to dream like you can." "I would protect you," the Titan said. Jasleen's father ignored him. Her mother, too. "My neighbor says Dregs eat children," Jasleen said, to break the silence. "I've seen it," the Titan replied. "I feel sorry for them. The Dregs." The Titan looked down at her for a moment, then swept his gaze across the ruin of their lives. "What is their suffering compared to yours? You lost everything today. And still, it was a good day, as these days go." She craned her neck to look up at him. "What do you mean?" "About what?" "Why is it a good day?" "I did not arrive too late to help. I did not die today—" "Do you worry about dying?" she interrupted. "I worry about not helping." "Have you ever lost a fight?" "More than I can count. I am no Ikora Rey. No Radegast." "Who are they?" "Guardians, like me." Jasleen shrugged, her skinny shoulders sharp under her ratty tunic. "That's okay. You're my favorite." "We remember those who help us." "Has anyone ever helped you?" He nodded. "Yes. Oh, yes." "Who? The Speaker?" He thinks for a moment before replying. "No. A Guardian, like me. Saved me from the Fallen when I was young, when I had lost everyone I was meant to protect. That Guardian is why humanity must go to the Traveler." Jasleen furrowed her brow. "What do you mean?" "That Guardian's Ghost and Light showed me a vision of humanity's potential. The land beneath the Traveler becomes a place of safety. I—" The foraging party returned with rabbits. They would eat well tonight. As her mother and father moved to help prepare their dinner, Jasleen undid the bow in her hair and motioned the Guardian to come closer. She wrapped it around the Titan's gauntlet. "I think that's going to take a long time," she said. "Maybe." He stared down at his arm. "On that day, I will bring this with me." "What's your name?" she asked. "Saint," he said. "I'll remember it." ❖❖❖ A woman with gnarled hands and an aged face sat alone on a couch, basking in the dim glow of a Golden Age ruin. She held back a cough as she eyed ancient monitors on the walls and ceiling, which directed visitors to empty offices belonging to people long dead. It was cold, silent, and dark, and the woman felt she should leave. But just outside, through the doors behind her, an acid rainstorm showered the streets of a dead city. She had been traveling for weeks, and today she had eaten the last of the hermetically-sealed food from a vending machine she had found a few miles from here. If she could go back, she would; she had taken all that she could carry, but the machine held plenty more. Life in the Golden Age must have been paradise. Right now she wasn't hungry, and she felt no fear. It was an odd change of pace—she welcomed the respite. The room stretched on for a hundred meters in front of her, branching into rows and rows of doors that led to who knew where. There was enough space in this building to house a thousand families. For a moment she wished her daughter and her daughter's daughter were still here with her. They had begun their trip together months ago from Varuna, but she had urged them to go on ahead, giving her share of supplies to them. Supplies were heavy, and she was too slow. There were rumors a human settlement was growing under the Traveler, and the spoken plan was to reunite there. The spoken plan, at least. She rubbed her hands together to ward off the cold. And she coughed. Immediately, something creaked far down the hall. A door slammed open, followed by the sounds of rapid scuffling. She stood up from her couch and slowly backed away, pulling a plasteel shiv from a sheath strapped to her thigh. Five figures with glowing eyes emerged from the gloom and rushed toward her, brandishing weapons. Two ran like men, massive and four-armed, and two were leaner, crawling low to the ground. The last was small, about the size of a human. It loosed a howl no earthborn mouth could make. She hoped her child and grandchild still lived, and held her weapon up in silent salute. The sliding doors behind her opened with a whoosh, and a violet discus cut through the air above her, singing like a sword loosed from its sheath. Three of the creatures dissolved into screaming Void as the disc of Light caromed down the length of the corridor. As the woman turned to look over her shoulder, an iron monster alight with boiling Void energy leapt over her. He moved with a grace that contradicted his size, and caught one of the remaining beasts by the neck as it bounded at him. He reeled back, and bam! The thing went limp as he smashed its skull with the top of his helm. Its companion lunged with a crackling Arc Sword, but he stepped forward and kicked its knee out to bring it down to his height, reeled back, and bam! Bam! Bam! He jackhammered the beast's winged helm with his own. It fell back, dead. The corridor fell silent. He turned and asked quietly, "Where do you hail from?" "Patch Run," the woman replied. He nodded. "Lin sent me to look for you." The woman scoffed and sheathed her weapon. "She was supposed to go to the Traveler." "She made it. All the way," he replied. "They both did." He raised his armored hand, wrapped tight with a purple cloth, and keyed a switch on his helmet. "Jumpship will be here shortly. We'll get you home." "Who gave you that ribbon?" "An old friend. Probably about your age, now." "How long do you people live?" "We don't know." The woman stared at him, then tore a piece from her lavender-colored sleeve. She stepped forward and tied it to a hinge of his pauldron. "What is this?" "Your friend is clever. If I leave this with you, I'll live forever." He chuckled. She did not. "Make a mark on this world," she said. "Don't waste the time you have." "Yes, ma'am," he replied. They were quiet a moment. "None of this bothers you?" he asked, gesturing at the bodies and the raging storm outside. "Everything bothers me," she said, sitting back down on the couch. "What was your name again?" "Mei." "I will remember it." They listened to the rain as they waited. ❖❖❖ Three children, two Awoken girls and a Human boy, slept against a rampart on the City wall. They were standing in for their parents, members of the City volunteer militia. They weren't old enough to carry weapons, but the boy clutched a remote access switch that would alert every guard in the district. He would need to be awake to trigger it, though. So Saint-14 stood watch in their stead. He would leave when his patrol cycle began in the morning. The children woke when the sun broke the horizon. They pretended not to see him, but when one of the girls tore her handkerchief in two and tied one half to the Titan's pauldron, the other two did the same with scraps of cloth and fabric. He asked for their names, but they weren't supposed to give their names to strangers, and all parted amicably. ❖❖❖ The Titan leapt atop the smoldering wreckage of a kit-bashed airship, a stripped-down Arcadia Class incapable of escaping orbit, and tore the Golden Age-polymer canopy right off the cockpit. He pulled a startled Awoken from out of the pilot's cabin as the airship's remaining engine crackled and roared. With the Awoken in his arms, the Guardian tumbled deftly off the Arcadian airframe and took off at full speed away from the wreckage. The Shock Cannon that tore the ship out of the sky had started an Arc reaction in the engine power cells that would— The shockwave overtook him and tossed him into the air. He rolled to his feet as he landed, dropping the pilot as a dome of Light snapped into being around them. A sleet of debris and shrapnel rolled across the Titan's Ward of Dawn. As the metal rain faded, so did the Guardian's Light. The two stood up. The Titan pulled a Daystar SMG2 from a back holster, checked to see if it was loaded, and handed it to the Awoken. "You are lucky. The Fallen shot you down twenty miles from the Traveler. They will not bother you again. Head due south," he pointed, and turned to leave. But the pilot tapped his shoulder guard. "Yes?" The pilot untied a bandana on his arm and held out the strip of plum-colored cloth. "You're joking." "I have nothing else to give," the pilot said. "That ship was my life." The Titan stared down at the man. "You've found a new life. Go to the Traveler." "It's bad luck to not give Saint-14 his due." Saint grasped the cloth. "What is your name?" "Georges," the pilot replied. Saint turned back towards the desert. "I will remember it." ❖❖❖ Saint stood at the gateway into the Infinite Forest. Six Fronts. Twilight Gap. Boyle Pass. The breaking of the Weapons of Rain. Other Guardians always seemed to remember where and when they found the engrams that revealed the most treasured pieces in their arsenals. The Gjallarhorns and the Dark Age antiquities. He had difficulty with that. But he could name almost every person who had awarded him an accolade over the course of his Guardian career. They covered every nook of his armor. They adorned his ship, the Gray Pigeon. He had never talked about them, and, as he looked up at the yawning translucent field before him, he wished that he had. ❖❖❖ I never found Osiris, but I've killed enough Vex to end a war. And they, in turn, struck a fatal blow: they completed a Mind with the sole function to drain the Light from me. It worked very well. Don't worry. (Not that you worry much). It took them centuries to build, keyed to the unique frequency of my Light. And I sit atop its shattered husk. I mourn that I will never reach the heights you have. To me, you represent everything a Guardian can become. Yours is a thriving City. So different from mine. My whole fourteenth life I fought to make my City yours. I never finished. All I have left is this weapon. The Cryptarchs say you crafted it yourself, built it out of scraps and Light and sheer will, inside the Infinite Forge. I'll make sure it finds its way back to you. When you gave it to me, I swore I would make it my duty to follow your example. I'm still trying. —Saint-14 ❖❖❖ Panoptes, the Infinite Mind, was dead. And so was Saint-14. Osiris looked down at what remained of his friend. The Infinite Forest shimmered around him. The Vex had built a dais to carry the body of Saint-14. The Titan had been stripped of Light. There was no obvious killing wound on his armor. Perhaps they had repaired it. Sagira ran a beam of Light across the body. "Saint carried these ribbons everywhere," she whispered. "He called them his 'accolades,'" Osiris replied. "What were they for?" Osiris was quiet for a long moment. He sat staring at the tomb. "I never asked." [link] [comments] |
| PvP focus is non-existent and for some players this is the whole game. Posted: 04 Dec 2019 10:49 AM PST The reveal was nice, setup like most reveals they have. But the only PvP mention was one new map which is a returning map. We had a whole DLC focused on just Gambit, every other DLC is PvE focused. We as a PvP community have yelled for trials for so long, Elimination is coming as a normal game mode which is a start but I feel as if they need to talk about it. Leaving us in the dark is saddening to me. No discussion of balancing or buffs or anything for Crucible was a let down. Remove one of the two Gambits, have the community vote which one they want to keep and bring back Trials, it was something to look forward to every weekend after doing all your PvE stuff during the week EDIT: I in no way thought this would blow up, thank you for the double platinum and multiple gold/silver guardians!

| You should get an ascendant shard for valor resets Posted: 04 Dec 2019 01:04 PM PST It takes hours if not days to reset valor when there's not XP boosts and you can get them in under an hour in a master Nightfall. It's a bigger time investment and it won't invalidate nightfalls since PvE players aren't going to just start grinding PvP if they don't like it in the first place and it would give PvP players a slower means of master working gear. Being forced to play Nightfalls as the only means of masterworking gear goes very, very far against "play how you want". Edit: ayyyyyy no ads [link] [comments] |
| At the end of the day, Destiny is a PvE game first, PvP game second, and it has to be Posted: 04 Dec 2019 01:02 PM PST Probably going to get downvoted to hell but here goes. The thing that makes Destiny unique is its overall PvE universe, mechanics, and MMO-lite experience for a shooter. There are hundreds of PvP games that are better pure PvP experiences and balanced purely for PvP. The goal of Destiny is to improve and grow your character to make it a better "monster killing machine", not to become the most balanced/fun PvP game. There's a reason Borderlands and Anthem don't even have PvP at all, because it is insane to try to balance RPG systems around a balanced PvP and the fact that Bungie is even trying this is an exercise in futility that they've been bashed by for years. I hope Destiny's PvP continues to evolve and that Trials comes back, but PvP will never and should never be the focus of this game. If that's what you want, there's Apex, Overwatch, CS and countless other games. But none of those games do what Destiny PvE does or is even close to it. I don't want Destiny to have it's defining characteristics to be compromised so that it can be a slightly better PvP game (that is still worse than the other games that are best in class for PvP) and you shouldn't want this either. EDIT: holy cow, my first golds and a platinum?!?Thank you guardians! Glad to hear others feel the same way [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Dec 2019 08:55 PM PST Use some of that eververse money to hire more devs instead of drip-feeding recycled content or completely ignoring core elements of the game [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:32 AM PST Right up there with Mara, The Dreaming City, Calus, Uldren, The Nine, Drifter, and countless other major plots lines that have started and never finished. I don't care if it's as simple as "Uldren died on the way back to his home planet", just finish something for once. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:55 AM PST See title. The live stream felt a little ambiguous in that regard. It's more than a slight concern. Getting decent armor rolls in totals in the right slots and right affinity and the stat array you want, then masterworking them, is already an RNG infested pain and a serious time investment. God rolls drops are basically a pipe dream and a carrot that, at these effective drop rates, would last years. Surely, the expectation isn't that this investment is getting tossed every 3 months? I am not saying that making existing items obsolete is necessarily a horrible decision, plenty of MMOS and RPGS do this with major content releases... But the rate and RNG at/with which these items are acquired right now with relative frequency of seasons are NOT justifiable or respectful of player time. This isn't the path to making Destiny a "hobby," it's a sign to go play a game with less predatory player engagement chasing tricks. We either need a higher volume of high stat roll drops, a way to control or reroll said stat rolls, or have the ability to carry our rather hard earned loot forward in the spirit of infusion and the shadowkeep ornament system. Please. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Dec 2019 01:10 PM PST It seems like they may be strapped for time, resources, etc so I wouldn't want them wasting any of that on making new Iron Banner armor or unique rewards for the new strikes in their yearly expansion called Shadowkeep or new crucible rewards. Hopefully they were able to create a new $15 per class armor set and more super cool unique rewards for us to buy with silver, the premium Destiny currency. Last season I was really impressed by how much time they saved giving the Hunter raid armor reskin hologram nipple covers which I can only imagine gave them so much more free time to pump out unique ornaments rewards you can only buy with real money! I'm really excited for this new season....'s offerings of brand new, exciting, and UNIQUE Eververse Ornaments! The only part you can guarantee will be stocked with new and exciting items to collect!

| Posted: 04 Dec 2019 01:35 PM PST This would give us something more to play for each week and make some older content relevant again. I'm sure there are other ways to do this, but I think they need to do something to make older raid content worth doing other than getting triumphs and exotics you may have not received yet. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Dec 2019 08:56 PM PST ..Season of Dawn is 100% worth the cost for the season. Simply from the roadmap and live stream, there's enough content to justify a 10$ price tag. 10 bucks is two mornings of getting coffee. It's less than a GrubHub delivery. It's half of a single skin in Fortnite or Apex. I mean come on people. Sure, I could think up 100 things bungo could do to improve the game, but this team brings us amazing and gorgeous content on a regular basis. Prepared for the downvotes, but any chance we could be happy for what we have then what could be improved? [link] [comments] |
| I'm sorry guys, but Saint-14 is not here to stay Posted: 04 Dec 2019 05:05 AM PST He hasn't been revived, we ''borrowed'' him from another timeline. It's a good setup to continue the cycle of the Perfect Paradox. Saint-14 said we gave it to him, but we took it from his corpse. The cycle must continue. We give him the Perfect Paradox, he helps us with the Flayers, and he leaves back to his timeline, where he'll battle the Fallen at Twillight Gap and then goes to Mercury to find Osiris. Of course we know how that will end up. Then, after a few years, our another-timeline-us comes by and takes Perfect Paradox for themselves. They kill Xol, cry about Cayde-6, kill Uldren, forge a few weapons, bank motes, entertain Calus, discover the Pyramid, kill 3 Undying Minds :), break the timeline and then comes Saint-14 again, but from another timeline. And it goes on and on and on and I don't know, why do I always have to make such a long posts. Thanks for sticking with me. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 04 Dec 2019 08:30 AM PST Kinda goes back to Rasputin in Warmind, how we were told he was the most powerful warmind in the solar system, but we never get to see how. I have faith in Bungie they'll do our purple boi justice though. [link] [comments] |

| Masterworking Armor is a Waste Posted: 04 Dec 2019 01:55 PM PST I masterworked a full set of each affinity of armor 2.0... and it was Season of Undying armor... so now that armor is worthless because it won't have the Season of Dawn mod slots. Bothering to get the Ascendant Shards and using them to masterwork armor, is pointless, because the armor doesn't last all year, it's only good for the season, and you can do all content in the season without masterworking the armor. After all the content was done, I grinded nightfalls to masterwork the armor for no reason other than I'd have a masterworked set of each affinity for the coming year, but with the mods of each season only working on that season's armor, this was a complete waste of time. EDIT: Yes, it should have been obvious, cause there was an Undying symbol on the armor mod slot... but for some reason, cause it would have been an obviously better way, i was thinking we'd masterwork that armor and it'd be good all year. If it's only good for the season, then what's the point of masterworking it? Because of the temporary artifact power grind, you won't be high enough light to farm enough ascendant shards until late in the season when you already did all the content without the masterworked armor, then it's just useless at the end of the season cause everything else is done, and spending Ascendant Shards on your armor is pointless since the next season is coming and your current armor won't work with that seasons' mods, so the gameplay loop is broken. Sure, i have enough ascendant shards left over to masterwork full new sets of Season of Dawn armor, but why would I waste them on that temporary armor? Masterworking regular armor is a waste, best to use Ascendant Shards on exotics cause they have no temporary seasonal mod slot. [link] [comments] |

| I hope Fanboy Vance finally meet Osiris in Season of the Dawn Posted: 04 Dec 2019 03:58 AM PST |
| Posted: 04 Dec 2019 10:55 AM PST Link to the Season of Dawn roadmap. As if they hadn't already made Iron Banner pointless enough, they had it as the iron banner armour for base D2, then for the season of opulence, and now it seems to be back for a third time. What a treat. [link] [comments] |
