- So, 2 weeks left for the new season to start... I feel like this season never existed, when are we going to fight the Almighty or something? Like, after more than 9 million seraph towers, I think there are enough warsats to destroy the Almighty. This is the most deviated season I’ve played so far.
- Weapon sunsetting: Why just Last Wish and Garden of Salvation? Why not all raids since Forsaken?

- Bungie should make weapons and armor that are sunset have a red or darker shade of purple background.
- Alright Warlocks listen up!
- For almost a month now, I feel like I'm constantly being put into borderline hopeless Crucible lobbies with severely lopsided scores. Anyone else experiencing this?
- I wonder how much of Shaxx is under his armor.

| Banshee is selling Powerful Friends, I repeat, BANSHEE IS SELLING POWERFUL FRIENDS Posted: 25 May 2020 10:05 AM PDT You have 24 hrs to collect until the next time this magnificent mod gets sold. Good luck! Edit: The reason why it's a great mod is because it gives +20 mobility on any arc legendary armour. Also Ada sells mod components, 25 gunsmith materials & 3 legendary shards for 1 mod. On her 2nd page. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 25 May 2020 11:12 AM PDT Imaging that this is what our character thinks and sees: "Gotta destroy the almighty. Wait, a Cabal entered Zavala's office? That's weird, but it gives you the 4th horseman back so okay. Now, back to action... wait... let me do a master nightfall. I couldn't do it. Anyways, let's get going... wait, race wars? Isn't that, kind of racist and deviated from the topic? I dont wanna pla- Oh an exotic!!! Oh Jesus, I gotta play this no matter what. Finally got it. 2 weeks later What's this, the lie? What does it sa- 9 MILLION SERAPH EVENTS?!?! Is that even humanly possible? Oh wait, it's less, thank God Rasputin has mercy, hey, at least we can see what this mission is about. Oh, so it's the Felwinter's lie? That gun? Wasn't it hated for being a sniper in the Pre-Red War Era? Ah forget it, but what does it have to do with the Almighty? Oh, so Rasputin is now emotional, when he has always been a dry and cold hearted guy. So, what's next ghost? Killing a fallen because why not? Oh, we have to do bounties... great".

| Weapon sunsetting: Why just Last Wish and Garden of Salvation? Why not all raids since Forsaken? Posted: 25 May 2020 11:37 AM PDT Has it been explained why Last Wish and Garden of Salvation weapons are going to be exempt from sunsetting, while Scourge of the Past and Crown of Sorrow are not? It'd be another 10 guns tops, I can't imagine it'd be that much more work. (Really, I just want to keep using my Threat Level.) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dear Bungie, please create a title of SHERPA to incentivize experienced Raiders to teach more. Posted: 25 May 2020 02:20 PM PDT Guided games was a really cool idea but there was not enough incentive to go into it week over week. If you let us grind the guided games for additional non-powerful drops from the raids while also adding more cosmetics, obtained via triumphs as part of the SHERPA seal, almost every experienced Raider I know would be grinding the triumphs and doing guided games a lot more. Add Guided Games for all of the Raids at every level, but please make it a requirement to have completed those activities 3 or 5 times via LFG to become a Guide for each, and allow guides to start a guided games raid as long as a lobby has 3 people qualified to guide their chosen Raid, whether they are in the same clan or not. Guided Games should be a priority for PVE in my opinion. Used correctly they can promote the sharing of knowledge and experiences in a positive way and reduce queue times for seekers. Ikora could also be re-tooled as the Sherpa NPC with bounties and additional incentives to be completed as a guide or seeker. For Triumphs I was thinking: 1-7: a reasonable amount of guided encounters/completions of each raid, each of these could award a cool emblem themed to their raids. 8: a reasonable amount of guided first time raid completions, this could award a dope exotic sparrow with stealth running and speed demon which would make it highly desirable (Maybe the one I've always wanted, a transparent sparrow that looks like the glass from VoG, and that would be a cool nod to where it all began) 9: A reasonable amount of guided challenge completions across all raids, this could award a (transparent and VoG glass inspired) ship that matches the sparrow. 10: a large amount of 5 star ratings from Seekers that you've guided, this could award a transparent VoG glass Ghost shell that matches the ship and sparrow. Please make it Grindy. The longer we have to work on it the better it is for the non-raiding community. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Like many others my Clan is bored so last night we made up a "Raid Crawl" Posted: 25 May 2020 01:08 PM PDT It all started with a "What if" posed in our Discord and quickly snowballed into a full blown event. Rules: 1) You must use all white gear, except for a green heavy as a white heavy does not exist. 2) You can replace your white gear with any drops you receive from a raid encounter or chest. No world drops are allowed unless it is an exotic world drop. 3) You cannot use any exotics that did not drop for you during the raid. 4) All classes and subclasses are allowed. 5) Raids are done chronologically from their release date, starting with Leviathan. 6) All mods, artifact or otherwise, are allowed Optional rules: 7) Hard Mode: You must use your most recently acquired gear, even if it is functionally worse than your currently equipped gear. Exceptions: If the gear would result in a double special scenario, or it would replace an exotic found during the raid. 8) Harder mode: No exceptions to rule 6. Get rekt, nerd. 9) Vanguard Dare: You must use a 2-2-2 team composition. 10) Dibs: No two players can be the same subclass 11) Rainbow: You must have 2 arc, 2 solar, and 2 void subclasses. 12) Old School Cool: You cannot use middle tree subclasses in Year 1 raids. As stated we only started last night and ended our night after finishing Spire (Incidentally my first clear) and will continue once we can all gather again. We followed all of the rules except for 8 because... OOF. We also decided that spending the Calus tokens we earned during our runs would be allowed to be spent, feel free to omit this part. It was wildly refreshing to not roll into every situation over prepared and over powered, actually having to plan out and organize things. Struggling and barely making it through some of the bosses was refreshing. I even ran it on my Warlock (I'm a dirty Hunter main) to "amp up" the challenge some more for myself. I know the season is(has been) a little stale for a lot of us and this has been the most fun I've had in all of it so I thought I'd share our "cure" for the lull. If y'all are bored enough and have people with the will to do it, I recommend giving it a shot. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Using Data To Justify More Raids Annually Posted: 25 May 2020 07:00 AM PDT During this down time, I remembered a comment from someone at Bungie some time ago that said something on the lines of - creating a raid takes too many of our resources for little participation of the overall community. That was hard for fans to swallow because raiding has some of the best moments and experiences in the game. You just don't find mechanics and gameplay that exclusively live in raids anywhere else in the game. It was also hard for us to find validity in that statement because, well... how do we disprove that or find reason to justify? It has now become easier to do so with Charlemagne getting further access to the API with the introduction of the Fractaline donation. That was when the whole enchilada became available and she could parse every aspect across every account ever created. So, I went exploring. With this post, I wanted to leverage the power of Charlemagne to see a few things:
... Just how popular is raiding?Warmind.io is chalk full of wealth of information. If you haven't used them, I suggest you start. The link above is specific to raiding. They have been tracking successful clears of each raid since Destiny 2's launch. We can get an accurate account of total clears broken down by week. Just using this week, sorted by popularity:
That's a whopping 76,954 groups of 1 or more that have completed a raid this week or... up to 461,724 characters have completed a raid ( the use of 'up to' because one character could have completed more than one raid and the use of "characters' because one account may have ran raids on multiple characters). And the number only gets bigger as we go back farther or closer to a raid's release. How does that compare to the entire community? Well, Charlemagne has given us a total number of 39.4 million accounts they crawl for data. Using their data of triumphs obtained, we can see total accounts:
\) did not include flawless as it is not a prestige version of the raid That's a lot of people who have completed a raid in the 3 years this game has been out! Raids look to be a great investment as they add longevity to the game. They provided content for each player at each stage of their tenure of the game.
How does raiding stack against other activities in the game? Is it more, less, or as popular as the other 3 activity clusters? ... Which Activity Cluster is the Most Popular?This turned out harder than anticipated! How do I surmise which cluster is more popular than another? I decided to look at a few options
Real-Time Activity
At least under real-time activity, and as of May 24th 919,000 players appeared in population across all platforms, Vanguard and Crucible are dead even. Gambit seems to be trailing. However, this only gives us a current snapshot of what the playerbase is doing on a Monday morning \) I only included the choices of each Vanguard and Crucible as they are representation of the mid-game to end-game content. Triumph Completion Again, of the 39.4 million accounts Charlemagne tracks: Vanguard
Crucible
Gambit Gambit is a bit tricky to try to quantify... It originated with Forsaken, was upgraded in Season of the Drifter, then.... nothing. Both Gambit and Gambit Prime are still fairly new to the Destinyverse and there's no real good way to measure accomplishments. So for now, I will hold off using it as a comparison against the other 3 clusters. TBD! So when comparing Triumph completions of Vanguard to Crucible, we see Crucible is more popular overall. This is striking as Crucible has had very little development over the last year an a half and yet Vanguard has gone through several iterations such as Nightfall modifier adjustments, addition of new enemy class (champions), brand new strikes, a new Nightfall type, and new Nightfall end-game. Where as Crucible has been side lined until this season. ... So are raids more popular?!I would answer, Yes! If just looking at Garden of Salvation completions, which has only been available for 7 months, more accounts have completed GoS (667,436) than Master Nightfall (591,394) or hit Legend in Glory (271,860). Even when looking at titles, Trial's Flawless title and Grandmaster's Conqueror title, if you don't earn them this season you have to reinvest your time again next season on different maps and different nightfalls, respectively. Final thoughtsThe goal of this was to see just how popular raids are among the community and sure enough, over time, they end up with a higher engagement. After reviewing this and thinking more on it, I would even feel justified to suggest that two or more raids a year should be mandatory as the return on invest is huge. Just looking at this week's activity of Scourge of the Past, up to 122,000 characters completed the raid. Almost as many that participated in this week's Trials (according to destinytrialsreport.com, that number is 145,700). Trials took almost 2 years to return, 2 years of some work being applied to it on and off I'd imagine. 2 years and less than a half of a percent has been successful getting to the lighthouse as of this writing. Where as some of the raids (Leviathan, Last Wish, Scourge of the Past, Garden of Salvation) are on pace to average one million first completions a year. I think this is more than enough justification to expect more than one raid annually [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The Menagerie is honestly one of the best things I've ever played in D2. Posted: 25 May 2020 03:05 PM PDT This is basically a mini raid, and every time I play it I get flashbacks of all the times I played D1 raids. I really hope Bungie uses it for something big in the future. This thing has a lot of potential. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bungie, for the love of the Traveler... SEPARATE. ARMOR. AND. WEAPON. ENGRAMS Posted: 25 May 2020 07:35 PM PDT I am totally not the only one asking and TOTALLY not the first time, but despite telling "we hear your feedback" this request keeps getting ignored from like... Launch of D2. The current world loot pool is extremely bloated, it can get infuriating trying to grind a certain armor/weapon piece from prime engrams and continously getting Mos epoch III or memetic savior plate(random examples). Separating armor and weapon engrams AND make activities that drop specifically them will make the grind so much easier and rewarding. Also, can you lower Mos epoch drop rate at least a little bit?

| Posted: 25 May 2020 08:45 AM PDT Despite the problems The Lie quest had, once it was finally accessible, I couldn't help but just feel soothed by Big Red's voice. I was more interested in the way he was talking to us. And although it was mostly robotic reversed Russian gibberish, I couldn't help but feel...emotion from him. You could tell he was...sad. From the random pauses, and certain repeats in tones. On how he slowed down or picked up on certain parts and how he would drag certain parts of his lines to show..regret for what he had done. It was a beautiful experience. Whoever did Rasputin's voice work in Bungie did an absolute splendid job portraying how he feels or how he could even obtain feelings and emotions as a warmind. I tip my hat off you. I really hope I get to hear more stories directly from Big Red himself in the future seasons to come and see how he transcends himself into something more than an just an AI. Splendid job to the audio team at Bungie. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Slayerage talks about Sunsetting PT 2 Posted: 25 May 2020 04:24 PM PDT He apologies for being "childish" yesterday and goes through the points made against his video yesterday. Pretty level headed and definitely not as targeted as yesterday's was. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Seems Like Gamerant Took Datto's D2 Retrospective Video And Copied It Posted: 25 May 2020 01:38 AM PDT https://gamerant.com/destiny-2-history-retrospective-release-dates/ Watched Datto's video the other day on everything that's happened with Destiny 2, and this article pops up in my phones feed. It's not a word for word copy, but certainly seems like they watched his vid and took the highlights to make an article to get hits. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 25 May 2020 06:52 AM PDT I'm not a hardcore player but in my opinion being forced to use specific gear in the most difficult pve activities. I have a vault full of sweet guns that I have earned from quests and engrams over the last couple years so it just feels miserable playing nightfalls with forced, subpar loadouts, to the point that I just end up not doing them. Hmm maybe I'll try out scout rifles or bows, a couple of the more underutilized weapon types so I can keep by distance and stay out of harms way. Nope, I have to use an smg and reload after every kill or 2 because it can't mow down basic nightfall enemies with higher health, let alone the champions I need it for. What about all those sexy exotics with the potential for all kinds of interesting builds based about them? Too bad, the only option is Erianna's Vow because it has anti champion capabilities. I think having basic anti champion mods for all weapons would be a great quality of life change and increase most people's enjoyment of high level activities. Bungie could still create a small meta or challenge for more dedicated players by including enhanced versions in the artifact so people most concerned with their damage and efficiency would have to pick specific weapons the way Bungie seems to want us to. What do you guys think? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Felwinter's Lie should be a Season 11 weapon, not a Season 10 one. Posted: 25 May 2020 04:24 AM PDT We got it a couple of weeks before this season ends. This makes this weapon's Time to Live effectively just 9 months. It should be updated to reflect that. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| kinda disappointed we didnt get a Wave Frame Grenade Launcher this season Posted: 25 May 2020 03:32 PM PDT Martyrs Retribution was one of the coolest new things we've had in a while, would be nice to get one in void, arc, or maybe a drum fed one :3 [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 25 May 2020 01:46 PM PDT This would make it easier to indentify which weapons have already been sunset, and help people clean out the vault. Good QoL change. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 25 May 2020 08:40 PM PDT Okay huddle! Reload perks are being nerfed next season. So we gotta show those hunters and titans were better! Put on those Ophidian Aspects for that free RELOAD SPEED. HECK YEAH. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 25 May 2020 11:46 AM PDT Title. Just wondering if this has been occurring more than usual. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I wonder how much of Shaxx is under his armor. Posted: 25 May 2020 09:41 AM PDT The only conclusion I am reaching is that Shaxx doesn't wear any armor. The plate is just painted on his titan flesh. Because I can't really imagine Shaxx as being any less than what we see. The human/awoken (he clearly isn't an Exo, right?) bod of Shaxx just can't be any smaller than that. His shoulders can't be smaller than those we see. His biceps can't be less thick than what is on display. So my conclusion is - Shaxx's armor is fake or paper thin. WWSIWWG [link] [comments] |
