- Daily Questions [2020-03-25]
- The nerfs to Snipers and Hand Cannons show that they are just reactionary changes to the meta and not actual attempts to properly balance the game.
- Sunshot can now generate warmind cells
- Why did I pay $10 to do bounties, patrols/public events and, lost sectors?
- Shadowkeep introduced horror elements that I found refreshing! I think more of that could be beneficial in storytelling.
- Trials of the 9 (year 1) loot should rarely drop with random rolls in the crucible, much how D1 had rare, crucible-only drops.
- Crucible matchmaking creates only two teams: thumb-in-ass squad or 1011 LL Trials olympians.
- Requiring final blows with specific weapons often interferes with how Iron Banner is played; assists should progress in addition to final blows
- Don't Make My Noob Mistake: Moon Bunker
- Don't forget to grab the Luxe Helmets for your Guardians this week as they don't seem to be returning back for BD for the rest of the season.
- Crownsplitter is alright
- Malfeasance hand-cannon I finished up today, hopefully it's worthy.
- Ana "some of this netcode is ancient"
- I drew my friend's characters having a solar grenade campfire
- An earlier post has got me thinking, why have so many good features just be dropped?
- Moon Seraph tower can drop Altars of Sorrow weapons.
- Maybe some of that Eververse money should go to hiring a playtester or two. Gets kinda old when every release, especially not new ones like Iron Banner, still doesn't work.
- D1 aged like fine wine
- Season of the Beaver
- Warmind Cell mechanic: Not sure if this is common knowledge but Dzhosh on YT found this and figured I'd share it
- Bungie, please just let us choose which of our weapons we want on display in our main hand.
- Age of Triumph trailer's 3rd anniversary
- As I’m protecting the back totem on the Moon’s Seraph Tower Event...
- 80's shader now available!
- Seasonal mod Power of Rasputin stacks with other debuffs like Tether

| Posted: 24 Mar 2020 08:34 AM PDT Ever since Shadowkeep nerfed Hand Cannons and Worthy nerfed Snipers both have been in just pathetic states. The Sniper DPS is now sitting far below everything else that people run for damage and Hand Cannons have fallen to complete uselessness in PvE due to the headshot damage changes. As time goes on and we're able to figure out new metas for damage it's becoming increasingly clear that the nerfs are going way too far and are looking more to be reactionary changes to curb overuse rather than to balance the game. A balanced nerf would bring a weapon type in line with the others when all are used optimally. The Hand Cannon and Sniper changes are examples of weapon types being euthanized. Slashing their DPS into irrelevancy doesn't help the game. It just makes people annoyed and bitter to find the new, weaker source of damage. Some changes are 100% necessary like the removal of auto-reload, but removing a game function without properly buffing weapons near to what they were doing before the change is how things should be handled. Hand Cannons should have their damage brought up to make them feel like they did before, not the current Nerf blasters they are now, especially if they don't have Rampage or Kill Clip. Snipers, and especially Izanagi's Burden, need to be looked at again. You can change how Izanagi's functions, but just killing the reload speed buffs and nerfing the damage just doesn't cut it for game balance. Izanagi's Burden lived and died by its reload speed, and now it's so far underground it's chilling with the earth's core. The global sniper nerfs need to be reverted, weapons that got destroyed need to be buffed up to at least compete with where they were before. Please make these changes, not for our precious DPS numbers, but to make the game feel good to play. The Division is in a pretty sad state right now thanks to global enemy health and armor scaling changes making every weapon a pea shooter. Don't be like Massive and side-step all of the outcry about the game's feeling. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sunshot can now generate warmind cells Posted: 24 Mar 2020 11:48 AM PDT The new "wrath of rasputin" mod available from the moon seraph tower can create warmind cells from any solar splash damage final blows. Sunshot's explosions can trigger this. Enjoy! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Why did I pay $10 to do bounties, patrols/public events and, lost sectors? Posted: 24 Mar 2020 04:37 PM PDT I'm not saying that they cost too much but seasons suck. This isn't content let alone new content. I'm playing old stuff to earn old stuff with a few new things mixed in. But if I don't play I will be too low power to play the new stuff when it comes out. This is trash bungie. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2020 08:15 AM PDT I want to be scared at the threat we are facing, I want to feel that we maybe can't win against a particular foe. Shadowkeep's introduction was a great example of this, I felt terrified of the Pyramid's power to "resurrect" strong enemies, that would make them stronger (weaker in some cases, but forget that). When escaping with the Cryptoglyph in the depths when I was low light level, I wasn't sure if I would survive. The darkness blurred anything, and I could feel the same as Eris' fireteam felt. I want to have this feeling again, and Shadowkeep was great in doing this. EDIT: some spacing [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2020 08:42 AM PDT A lot of people would feel more incentivized to play Crucible more if this was a thing. The assets are there, just tweak them for random rolls. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Crucible matchmaking creates only two teams: thumb-in-ass squad or 1011 LL Trials olympians. Posted: 24 Mar 2020 01:53 PM PDT My last three Iron Banner matches I've spawned into a game with a 40 point difference, and I've yet to even have a close game this whole season in crucible. What is going on? Why are there only two states Crucible matches can be in: you stomping or them stomping? So friggin' annoying to see the village idiot titan run past control points on my team while they've got at least a 4-man premade of Lighthouse veterans. Also had a match earlier where their entire team was 1000+ with trials emblems, and we solos were all sub 980. Fun match, guess how it went. Max light level calculation better be in the MM formula.

| Posted: 24 Mar 2020 01:58 PM PDT Iron Banner, a mode that encourages strong team play and team shots should not have bounties that require final blows with specific weapon types. Oftentimes getting assists is easy but getting the kills can be frustrating, sometimes taking 5+ games to get kills with a single weapon type. This is exacerbated given the light disparity,it is sometimes more likely than not that my teammates may take my kills. If the bounty encouraged defeats rather than kills it would retain the encouragement to try new weapons while maintaining the spirit of a team-focused mode Edit: before anyone asks... I don't care about the bow, I just want to use my IB tokens without having to do a quest to farm my armor rolls. I don't care if there's a quest, just please stop locking token banking behind it.

| Don't Make My Noob Mistake: Moon Bunker Posted: 24 Mar 2020 11:11 AM PDT Once I cleared the bunker and was able to upgrade, I went right for the heavy frames and javelins before buying the discount upgrades. Don't be me haha [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2020 11:18 AM PDT According to the projections of the Eververse Weekly offerings by @DeathbladeJP, this week seems to be the only week for Season of the Worthy where the Luxe Helmet ornaments can be earned via Bright Dust. The same logic also follows for next week, which is the only week the class marks will also be available for the rest of the season for Bright Dust. This is one of the "you had to be there moments". So grind that BD and pick up those ornaments, sister! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Malfeasance hand-cannon I finished up today, hopefully it's worthy. Posted: 24 Mar 2020 02:06 PM PDT Bit off much more than I could chew with this commission but after a month or so of painting, sanding the paint off, painting again and learning how to properly use my airbrush I think it came out pretty well! I know its not 100% game accurate but I am a mere mortal, cut me some slack. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ana "some of this netcode is ancient" Posted: 24 Mar 2020 10:48 AM PDT Had a good chuckle on hearing this. Kudos to Bungie for acctttually throwing this in there. The jokes on you, no you, no you *insert meme here*. The relevance of this in the games' current state is fitting and sad somewhat.

| I drew my friend's characters having a solar grenade campfire Posted: 24 Mar 2020 05:28 PM PDT He has a different personality for each of his characters and it's absolutely hilarious when he role-plays them when we're gaming. The happy Titan is Steven, forgot the moody hunter's name, but the warlock is F-bot 9000. He commissioned me to make this piece to complete his Destiny shelf (he's going to print it out) and I am happy how it came together since this isn't a style I'm comfortable with. Hope y'all enjoy!

| An earlier post has got me thinking, why have so many good features just be dropped? Posted: 24 Mar 2020 07:44 AM PDT This is based on the post about curated rolls being halted found here. Let us look at all of the well received or at least partly well received features looking back between Destiny 1 and Destiny 2. I am going to be using shorthand for the Game, Year of the Game, and Season of the Game if it is in Destiny 2. Not everyone will agree with all of these being important or good features but many of them brought depth, resource grinding, or just variety to different modes of play. If I missed anything glaringly obvious let me know.

| Moon Seraph tower can drop Altars of Sorrow weapons. Posted: 24 Mar 2020 12:08 PM PDT Just got a Blasphemer and like 4 or 5 phantasmal fragments. Plus, it's much easier than Altars too! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2020 02:05 PM PDT Quests that still don't work right. Artifacts not working right. Connections still terrible across the game in any activity. I don't know what entertains me more. Getting excited for a week long event that's outside the norm, or watching something as basic as Iron Banner throw everything into chaos. Might be good to hire a playtester or two with that Eververse money, Bungie. Being proactive in catching these things instead of slowly reactive and shitting on the community with poor releases got old a long time ago. Edit: Played a few matches of Iron Banner and neither the quest or bounties had any progress made on them. Which is sad, because I love bows enough to even go into crucible to get this seasons only ritual weapon. Promptly went back to the division 2. Bungie. This shit is beyond old at this point.

| Posted: 24 Mar 2020 08:01 AM PDT Going through the Season of Bounty, I've been so bored of D2 so I did what most nostalgic people do, I went to play D1. So far, it's been amazing. Right now I can see so many little things that make the game far superior in game design than D2. Things like passively ranking up factions by playing strikes, crucible and patrols, being able to choose rewards type, vendors that sell meaningful stuff, possibility to win Eververse stuff and a kiosk to buy almost anything with silver dust. It's almost like this game was meant to be fun and not to please some game director ego.

| Posted: 24 Mar 2020 02:41 PM PDT Seriously this is getting ridiculous, and it made even more prevalent by iron banner being back. It seems like every match im in theres at least one on my team that gets error coded out. With me it seems like its ever 2 or 3 games. This isnt an issue that can be resolved next season, it needs to be hotfixed asap. This problem started with season of the worthy and its just going to keep growing until something is done. Please its making the game actually unplayable. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2020 09:56 AM PDT "Hello all, just wanted to share my new findings about warmind cells. There is a counter that determines when one will spawn. I'm not sure entirely how it works, but I know the following will spawn a warmind cell: 5 Minor 4 Elite 2 Elite, 2 Minor 2 Minor, 2 Elite, 1 Minor (Order seems to matter) 1 Major Apparently shanks seem to count for less points It seems to take 11 shanks, 5 thrall, 4 acolytes. I think this system depends on the enemy type as well. This will take testing, but the point of the video remains, this is not a random system. It takes a specific amount of points to spawn an orb". I did a little bit of testing myself last night and the minor portion was spot on, I was getting a cell every 5 minor kills. On top of this, I found if I got 4 minor kills, I could stow my weapon, not use it, and come back later and get the 5th kill to spawn the cell, essentially allowing you to choose when you want it. This opens up a TON of strategic play and might make it way more viable in end game. Original video: https://youtu.be/_pBpW2OQths Edit: Testing isn't complete and enemy species seems to cause it to vary. If more extensive details are found then I'll update the post.

| Bungie, please just let us choose which of our weapons we want on display in our main hand. Posted: 24 Mar 2020 01:55 AM PDT There are so many guns that I love using but they're in my secondary slot and aren't on display in my character screen or readied by default when spawning in. Keep the kinetic/energy separate, but let me choose whether my kinetic or my energy are the default equipped for my character. I would just love to be able to main my Sunshot and then have it actually be my main, instead of having to switch to it in every activity as if it were my secondary weapon. This QoL improvement would go a long way for me, personally. Love the game and look forward to seeing it get better.

| Age of Triumph trailer's 3rd anniversary Posted: 24 Mar 2020 03:40 PM PDT All Raids at maximum light/power. Revised and Updated raid weapons. Amazing, earnable ornaments. Minimal eververse gear (1 set per class + exotic weapon ornaments). Daybreak Strikes. Updated Challenge of elders. Probably the best time to be a guardian, ever. We didn't know that soon after, all of our gear and cosmetics would be wiped and we'd have a new game to play. We have the rest of an impermanent season with battlepass and Eververse only cosmetics, and another season after that. And then what? More of that? Sort of makes you reflect on the past.

| Seasonal mod Power of Rasputin stacks with other debuffs like Tether Posted: 24 Mar 2020 10:25 PM PDT Pretty much the title. After having had the void grenade stuff a couple seasons back and having recently got the mod Power of Rasputin from the Moon seraph tower event, I figured I would test to see if it stacked, just in case. The mod reads: You gain a bonus to weapon damage against enemies that are near Warmind cells. I took a 995 sniper into the Tribute hall against the ogre and stood the same distance for each shot. I have no opening shot, etc mods, but I made sure to reload, make sure no other buffs were active, etc before each shot to the ogre's face. The results were:
So not only do they both apply, but it looks like it is multiplicative as well. We brought it into a lost sector on Titan to test too, just to make sure. Couple it with being able to reliably proc a warmind cell with Tyrant's Surge, and it feels like things could be interesting! Edit: So as u/laserapocalypse pointed out, it might have acted like a buff. So we went back in and tested with well and tether and got the following:
So it definitely stacks with both buffs and debuffs! [link] [comments] |
