    Focused Feedback: Seasonal Mod Slots

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 12:50 AM PST

    Hello Guardians,

    Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

    We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to Bungie.

    Focused feedback topics and discussion questions are chosen by the DTG reddit moderation team without input from Bungie.

    This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

    Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Seasonal Mod Slots' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

    For clarity, seasonal mod slots are slots on armor pieces that allow you to equip mods which are specific to a given season's activities. Examples of seasonal mods include things like charged with light mods, nightmare hunt mods (from the season of the undying), but also hive armaments (only equippable on crown of sorrow or menagerie armor) and taken armaments (only on dreaming city/last wish armor).

    Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome. Here are some sample discussion questions :

    • What are your general thoughts on seasonal mod slots?
    • What are your thoughts on mods for a specific season (ex: Undying, Dawn, Outlaw, etc?)
    • Does it frustrate you that you need to grind for high stat gear again every new season to get the most out of your PVE armor or do you find this enjoyable?
    • Do seasonal mod slots create a storage problem for you in your inventory or vault due to needing to hoard gear sets for different seasons for each class and possibly with different stats/elements/etc...?
    • Should exotic armor be able to equip mods from any season?
    • Should there be a universal mod slot on legendary gear that can equip mods from any season (rather than a different mod slot for each season)?
    • What other ideas do you have to improve seaonal mod slots on armor or seasonal mods in general?

    Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

    A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

    We’ve awoken the hive!!

    Seeing the community slowly turn on Revoker because Trials is coming back is hilarious considering how everyone treated it when it came out.

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 07:15 PM PST

    I remember all the hate from both this subreddit and many content creators.

    "It's bad because it's a sniper for babies"

    "Revoker? You mean not Beloved?"

    "Bungie why couldn't you make a good pinnacle sniper?"

    "The perk is just guaranteed mulligan, No Distractions is better"

    But with Trials on the horizon and the inevitability of no longer having oodles of special ammo littering the battlefield, suddenly Revoker is OP, low skill, and breaks the game.

    Can't wait for next season with the cries to nerf this once upon a time "underwhelming" gun. I see the games you play Destiny community. I'm on to you.

    Aztecross just tweeted that resilience should decrease incoming flinch. A brilliant suggestion

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 02:47 PM PST

    tweet

    In my opinion resilience is lacking in usefulness compared to mobility and recovery and really needs a buff in a way. Flinch is a big problem especially on console and I think if this were to be implemented it would kill two birds with one stone in a sense.

    Handheld supernova should have splash damage for the user if they get too close or whiff it into a wall

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 06:46 AM PST

    like any other 'physical' grenade

    i'd also like to suggest a louder, more unique proc sound for the ability, let me hear an actual supernova. big voop.

    as for contraverse holds, the damage reduction could be brought into line just a lil.

    edit:

    Clopfish

    I mean, it USED to. But then you could kill your teammates with it, so they removed the self harm aspect of it.

    Even more reason to bring it back, if the reason is something as arbitrary as that. i don't know much about how powerful handheld was when you could kill teammates, but it's presence has gotten a little larger than when i remember it being able to do that.

    Real World Value Of Fractaline

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 02:10 PM PST

    I have no life.

    Average Value Of Silver:

    (500+1100+2300+3500+6000)/5 = 2680 (4.49+8.49+16.79+23.99+39.99)/5 = £18.75

    This is about right as it puts it between the 2300 package of silver and the 3500 package of silver.

    2680 Silver = £18.75 (On Average)

    (100/2680)*100 = 3.73%

    18.75*0.0373 = £0.70 (Rounded Up From £0.699 Nice)

    100 Silver = £0.70 (Approximately)

    You can purchase 1 level in the season pass for 100 silver

    100 Silver = 1 Level

    1 Level = 100,000 XP

    Now this is where it gets a bit wierd, 1 Weekly Fractaline Bounty (WFB) gives roughly 8717 XP (Tested from only 1 bounty so any more testing would be appreciated) 1 Weekly Bounty (WFB) = 6000 XP

    1 WFB = 6000 XP

    1 WFB = 100 Fractaline

    6000/100 = 60 XP

    1 Fractaline = 60 XP

    100,000/60 = 1666.66

    1 Level = 1667 Fractaline (Rounded Up So That We Aren't Under The Total XP Level)

    So:

    1 Level = 100 Silver = 1667 Fractaline

    1667 = £0.70 (The Value Of 100 Silver)

    0.70/1667 = 0.00041 (Rounded Up)

    1 Fractaline = £0.00041

    Current Exchange Rate = £1:$1.29 (According To Google)

    So this means that at each stage we have donated the equivalent of:

    Stage 1: 400,000,000 = £164,000 = $211,773.20

    Stage 2: 700,000,000 = £287,000 = $370,603.10

    Stage 3: 1,200,000,000 = £492,000 = $635,319.60

    Stage 4: 2,200,000,000 = £902,000 = $1,164,752.60

    I also have a clanmate who is now trying to calculate the real world value of glimmer... I'll get back to you on that one...

    EDIT 1: Hes also trying to calculate it using the USD value of silver.

    EDIT 2: Adjusted for my mistake in XP for weekly bounty, thanks /u/mylifemyworld17

    EDIT 3: So my clanmate got the value of glimmer in USD (Different stores so different costs) He spent long enough on it that I put it in a different post for him: https://redd.it/f1yv4s

    Feeding frenzy perk needs a fix

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 07:56 AM PST

    When using recluse or any other weapon with feeding frenzy, if you get a kill and reload too quickly afterwards then feeding frenzy doesn't kick in. Pretty annoying in PvE and can get you killed in PvP pretty often

    Edit: This seems to be more of an issue with full auto weapons that have feeding frenzy like recluse/cold front. I think it's just a problem with the perk activating AFTER you get the kill and not instantly when getting the kills. The auto reload starts too quickly because of the short recoil animations on full auto weapons

    New Crucible Playlist: Redjack - A balanced, fair, and competitive game mode

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 07:55 AM PST

    Intro

    • Players will participate in a new crucible gametype called Redjack. Like the name implies, you will not play as your guardian, but instead as one of Shaxx's Redjack frames. Players will not be able to bring in their own weapons and armor, but will instead use a small pool of pre-selected weapons that everyone will have access to.

    Purpose

    • This gamemode will offer a balanced, fair, and actually competitive playlist for players who want it. Basically, a "Halo-like" mode in Destiny 2.

    Weapons

    • All weapons will be kinetic
    • You will have one primary, special, and heavy weapon.
    • No weapons will have perks OR all weapons will have fixed perks.
    • The selection of weapons will be one of each type (hand canon, shotgun, sword, ...) and frame (precision, adaptive, lightweight, ...) combo.
    • Balancing can be done on a per weapon basis.
    • Special/heavy ammo is a separate discussion.

    Armor

    • All armor will be 100% cosmetic, and there will be no stats (mobility, discipline, ...)
    • You can earn/unlock/buy ornaments for the Redjack frame
    • All existing sharers work.

    Abilities

    • No supers
    • Jumps:
      • Titan lift (height)
      • Warlock glide (distance)
      • Hunter jump (maneuverability)
    • Grenades (all kinetic):
      • Frag: Bounces the explodes, like the incendiary grenade
      • Flashbang: Explodes on impact, obscures vision
      • Sticky: Behave like fusion grenade
    • Class Ability (these are very optional and could be left out. That said, these are some ideas):
      • Radar sweep: Marks all enemies in close proximity until they take damage from any source
      • Overshield: Grants an extra shield

    UI

    • The screen where you can select your default weapons/abilities and customize the appearance of your Redjack will be on a third subsection of the Character menu (below the ship/sparrow/emote section)

    Edit:

    This is not an exhaustive list, but one that aims to bring out the conversation around a "bare metal" version of the game. We all love the gun-play and feel of the game, but there are glaring issues with it, that prevent it from being an MLG game or the likes.

    Stuff like Duster of the Cormorant Blade should be the norm for Warlocks, not the exception.

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 09:26 PM PST

    Its pretty stupid that Warlocks have 100+ elaborate dresses but only ~4 coats/jackets you think a futuristic space exploring wanderer would have more of. Hunters have more variety in their fucking footwear than Warlocks have in their entire appearance selection.

    At this point I’m fully convinced that the Bane of Crota shell doesn’t actually exist.

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 12:14 PM PST

    200+ waves of Altars of Sorrow and STILL no shell. Bungie why do you insist on making the longest part of the titles RNG-based? It's literally all I need to get the Harbinger title. How is solo-ing Pit of Heresy easier than getting some stupid ghost shell to drop?

    It's ridiculous.

    Edit: it does exist as i just got it. took a whole day of grinding tho so still kinda bullshit

    980 Master Nightfall Solo in 20 min...WITH A SWORD!?

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 01:35 PM PST

    https://youtu.be/WIGgeMdPd38

    ​

    Since Bungie is reworking swords, I might as well show off what a good sword combo can do. I've been soloing 980s since early shadowkeep with this combo in good time because it is OP. Riskrunner wasn't necessary, randys wasn't necessary, those r just for flavor. My fastest time this week was 17min which is insane considering exotic weapons arent needed and that pushes the time of random 980+ group of iza / div. You don't even need a super.

    ​

    This is a link to my previous popular / unpopular post about the meta.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/dvd6ft/980_nightfall_ordeal_the_meta_and_you/

    ​

    I still carry randoms in 980s all the time on PC discord LFG and its funny to watch the occasional 990-1000 light player go "wtf swords can do that?" My carry times with 2 other underleveled players is usually just as fast / faster than the other random iza div groups. I've solod ordeals in good time with a LOT of different loadouts, and this (alongside old peregrine pre-nerf) is my favorite.

    ​

    Revert Peregrines plz. Not the 1-2 punch bug fix, season of dawn actually directly nerfed peregrine itself

    ​

    edit: general tip, you can absolutely lock down most 980 bosses. example for the green cabal sniper boss, you can just hold him still and SOLO ONE-PHASE HIM with some good block timing. most bosses have a slam --> ranged attack, ranged attack --> slam pattern. very easy to learn. teammates benefit greatly, they get free boss damage. More importantly, you look like saint 14 in his prime while your tree hugger and booknerd teammates watch in awe

    Real World Value Of Glimmer (Follow Up From Fractaline)

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 03:12 PM PST

    Different format due to the different method.

    Done primarily by my clanmates: Viljatoc with help from Glasti (with us bullying him along the way).

    He didn't want to use any averages so only calculated this using the smallest amount of silver purchasable for USD.

    500 Silver = $5

    1 Silver = $0.01

    1 Silver = 2.25 Bright Dust

    Taken from the average of cosmetics in eververse when sold for both silver and bright dust. In this case it was the "up in smoke" sold for 200 silver and 450 bright dust.

    1 Bright Dust = 300 Glimmer

    Taken from the extra bounties that can be collected from vendors such as shax (Rewards 10 bright dust for 3k glimmer)

    2.25 Bright Dust = 675 Glimmer = 1 Silver = $0.01

    Because of this:

    225 Bright Dust = 67500 Glimmer = 100 Silver = $1 USD

    This means that the exchange rate of glimmer to USD is:

    1 Glimmer = $0.000014814814 = £0.000019

    He made me sort out his shitty formating in discord and now I want to die...

    EDIT: Corrected the value of silver being 10x more than it actually is. Enjoy have less net worth! (Thanks /u/ChrisDAnimation & /u/sin_tax-error)

    Clearly getting Legend isn’t impossible in the solo playlist, many have done it. But at the same time...this sh*t is impossible

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 10:45 PM PST

    I'm a damn good crucible player. I'm not too percentile or anything, but I'm good for my level of devotion.

    Getting kills and surviving isn't an issue for me, it's an issue for my random teammates.

    I start every single game telling the chat to "stay together, avoid sniping lanes, don't push when we have the lead because we have life advantage, let them make the first move."

    And what do they do immediately EVERY SINGLE TIME?

    Spilt up. Rush right into sniper fire. Pushing when we are up 3-1.

    Every. Single. Time.

    It's very frustrating and I'm about ready to give up. I would LOVE to have Legend and eventually Unbroken. I just don't see it right now, seems impossible.

    Altars of Sorrows (my next band name btw) is the perfect place to complete exotic catalysts

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 06:56 AM PST

    I don't know why I didn't think of this before. Maybe it's because I don't spend much time on the moon anymore. But these Altars of Sorrows events are perfect for completing exotic catalysts. Almost endless waves of enemies, much more than escalation protocol. It's a public activity... people come and go during the event. The risk/rewards is somewhat low since there are only 3 weapons you can earn, and they are not "essential" weapons.

    In a few hours last night I completed the catalysts for:

    • Sweet Business

    • Symmetry

    • Prospector

    • Hard Light

    • Black Talon

    • Mercyless

    • Colony

    • and 40% of the Erianna's Vow

    So... pick your exotic weapon, load up on mods for that weapon type with the proper ammo finders and ammo reserve mods, hit altars of sorrow and have fun!

    PS. This is also a great spot to quickly complete gunsmith and black armory bounties.

    Optimized Bounties For 2/10/2020

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 09:55 AM PST

    Deer Trivia: Assuming an average height of 3.3 feet, it would take 382,121,212 whitetail deer stacked on top of each other to build a deer bridge to the moon. There are currently only 30 million whitetail deer in existence, less than 10% of what we need.


    Step 1 - Call your congressmen and demand more funding for NASA and federal wildlife breeding programs.

    Step 2 - Pick up the following Dailies. Weeklies can be found here.

    Tower Bounties:

    • Saint XIV Daily – Rank and File – Kill 50 Cabal
    • Zavala Daily – One Shot, One Kill – 25 Precision Kills
    • Zavala Daily – Vanguardian – Kill 50 Enemies in Strikes

    • Shaxx Daily – Sparring Grounds – Complete 2 Crucible Matches
    • Shaxx Daily – Lightbearer – Kill 3 Enemies With Abilities in Crucible
    • Shaxx Daily – On the Mark – 3 Precision Kills in Crucible
    • Shaxx Daily – Balance of Power – Capture 5 Zones in Lockdown
    • Banshee Daily – Kinetic Calibration – Kill Stuff With Kinetic Guns

    Planetaries

    • Eris Morn – Filamentary, My Dear Ghost – Gather 5 Helium Filaments
    • Eris Morn – Unscathed Deathdealer – 10 Power Weapon Streak Kills
    • Eris Morn – Ritualistic Finish – Kill 7 Hive With Finishers
    • Asher Mir – "Vanguard" Outpost – Complete 2 Patrols on Io
    • Asher Mir – Power Lifting – 3 Power Weapon Multikills on Io
    • Asher Mir – Cache Value – Loot 5 Chests on Io

    Step 3 - Follow these steps (any order):

    1. Play one 920 Ordeal. (15 minutes)
    2. Play two Crucible matches, at least one of which is Lockdown. (20 minutes)
    3. Fly TO THE MOOOOOOON, pick up Eris's dailies, and slap on a Moon Combo Detector Ghost shell. Fly to Sorrow's Harbor and get to killin'/collectin'. (5 minutes)
    4. Fly to Io, punch Asher in his stupid face, pick his bounties up off the ground, then put on your Io Combo Detector Ghost Shell. Do the "Kill anything" and "Collect Stuff" patrols, and pick up any chests along the way. If you need any more, just sparrow into a different zone. There's usually 3 or 4 just lying around in each area, shouldn't take too long. (5-10 minutes)

    Total Non-Elemental Non-Weapon-Specific Bounties Cleared: 16 Dailies. Should be done with Weeklies by now.

    Total Time: 45-55 minutes.

    People use other primaries outside of Hand Canons.

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 08:01 AM PST

    Just watched Mtashed's video about how to fix crucible. And it was buff primaries. Cool, sounds good, except the entire 11:45 video he only talked about Hand Canons. Why is it that when streamers and youtubers complain about Fusions and Shotguns and Secondary weapons and they say we need to buff primaries so we get more gun play and duels that its always specifically Hand Canons? Hand Canons are already the number 1 gun used. Why do they need more love? Why does the community have such a hard on for HC's. Its "gotta get this god roll Spare Rations. They brought back Old Fashioned with random rolls. Etc" In his video he talked about getting back to 2 headshots, 1 body shot kills. Yes, primaries could use some love. But come on guys, at least PRETEND you care about the other guns.

    Please make individual mods for Trace Rifles

    I remember in an update way back when, Auto Rifle perks like scavengers were supposed to effect Trace Rifles. I've done testing, and none of it works. Not even the general scavenger mods.

    Please just make Trace Rifle mods so us 50 Coldheart users out there can have the same experience as other special weapons.
