| This Week at Bungie 05/28/2020 Posted: 28 May 2020 01:57 PM PDT Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/49139 This week at Bungie, we look to the sky. Ever since this Season began, the Almighty has been hurtling through space on its collision course with Earth. The Cabal are not known for their graceful defeats. Every day we spend preparing our long lost Seraph to mount a response, that derelict destroyer rockets ever closer to our home, spelling certain doom for the City. Rasputin is at full power. We're as ready as we'll ever be. Now, eclipsing our own sun is a stark reminder that a great threat approaches. Eyes up! What's Next?Destiny has been a shared pastime for long enough now to have established some strong traditions. Each year we spend in service of the Guardians, we can mark our calendars by the next development milestone we'll reach or the next event we'll attend to spread the news. Some of us have had the remarkable privilege to travel the world and meet some of you fine people to talk about what comes next. This year finds us all in a scenario that puts us all very far away from business as usual. Basically, all flights originating from our Tower are grounded. Development of Destiny 2 continues, only we are all working from the safety of our homes. We have exciting news to share with you about our plans, but it won't happen at some fancy convention under hot lights. Instead, we'll use the Internet. If you are familiar with the rituals and cycles that mark a year in the life of a Guardian, you must be curious as to when we'll begin a conversation about what is next. We can't put a date on that just yet, but we will very soon. That's a promise. We know you're hungry for that news and we're just as eager to deliver it. Keep your eyes trained on @Bungie for updates. We'll stream our announcements in the usual places. You'll learn about the next Season of Destiny 2 at the same time that we talk about the next chapter in this story that has been unfolding all year long. Diving DeepIn recent editions of "This Week At Bungie," we've taken the cue directly from the community on what we should talk about. Our attention has been focused on your feedback. Our words have pointed toward what we plan to do to bring the game into alignment with what you've been talking about. With a summary of what we've promised and some updates on our progress, here is Production Director Justin Truman.

The #help forum is their base of operations. Their mission is to keep you out there fighting the darkness. This is their report.
Trending NowYou know that old question about the tree that falls in the forest when there is no one around to hear it? The Movie of the Week is our answer. If a Guardian fires their favorite Exotic weapon, and it didn't make it into a montage, did it make a sound? Here are some of the finest existential moments we discovered during our online wanderings this week. Movie of the Week: Bunker Rave Honorable Mention Do the Robot(Language warning) The filmmakers have received the most storied emblem as evidence that Bungie is their number one fan. If you want your work to reach our eyes, your best venue is our Creations page. Don't call it a TWAB. I've been here for years. Sure, @A_dmg04 and @Cozmo23 own this beat, but I wanted to take a shift. I'd love to be dusting off my travel luggage right about now. I'll miss seeing your faces and making new connections out there in the world. That will happen again. For now, the traditions that shape what makes a Guardian a Guardian, year after year, must be obeyed. We'll be firing all our cannons very soon. We hope you'll be around to enjoy the fireworks. DeeJ, out. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 28 May 2020 03:03 PM PDT Hi, a while back I made Destiny Sets, but today I've just released an app that I've been working on for the past month, Ghost. You can read more and download it from ghostoverlay.com https://i.imgur.com/9NZF2Le.png It's a widget for the Xbox Game Bar on Windows, so you can bring it up at any time with Win + G. Then you can pin it to your screen, and It'll stay floating over the top as you play Destiny 2. Ghost lets you pin bounties, triumphs, and quests on top of Destiny 2 so you can track them while you play. It uses the Windows Xbox Game Bar and Destiny API, so its totally legit and safe. I've been playing with this for a bit, and it's really nice. I'll go into Crucible, or Gambit, or Alters of Sorrow with a bunch of bounties and its really satisfying to see each one complete. This has been a love affair of mine over the past month or so, and I'm so happy everyone can download it now for free! ❤ Huge shout out to /u/kapowaz who made me my icons (and hand crafted each size to make them crispy as), and to ALLLL my patrons who've supported me while I work on this. Give it a try and tell me what you think :) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In response to "How to Bungie", I give you "How to Community" Posted: 28 May 2020 09:54 AM PDT As seen in THIS POST 1) Read Reddit, watch YouTube, and use the gun you're told is powerful 2) Build attachment to gun and overuse it 3) Cry when Bungie nerfs gun in a loot-based game that has stalled loot progression 4) Rush back to playing Destiny and buy the Eververse cosmetic when Bungie reprises that gun 5) Cry that Bungie uses tactics that keep you playing the game while selling you things that you always buy [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 28 May 2020 03:06 AM PDT 1) Introduce gun that becomes wildly sought after and used by players. 2) Nerf said gun. 3) Nerf gun again. 4) Retire gun. 5) Introduce said gun in later expansion in a nostalgic filled quest.

| Posted: 28 May 2020 06:06 AM PDT One thing that I REALLY REALLY want from D1 is primary weapon damage, I want to use other perks besides reload/damage combos on my hand cannons. I wouldn't mind only have 7 in the mag and a slow reload if I knew those 7 shots could take out 7 adds. 110 Hand cannons are so much fun to use but they just don't seem like they do enough damage to warrant the slow reload/recoil/bloom.

| Posted: 28 May 2020 05:11 PM PDT Title. I mean they do read "Slow-firing. High-damage..." or "High damage, High recoil." But they should have and cause "High flinch." They need compensation for shooting slow and I think this would help put them on the table. Just a thought I had after seeing the buff to 340 RPM Pulses in the crucible next season.

| How has Trinity Ghoul been dog shit for so long Posted: 28 May 2020 06:01 PM PDT Bungie has to know the potato state this bow is in right? Tons of people on forums and on here have voiced the uselessness of TG. They've had multiple patches they could have touched it by now and still haven't. Bows as a whole need to be looked at, but TG imo has gotta be top 3 worst exotics in this game if not the worst.

| My Warlock has developed an addiction... Posted: 28 May 2020 06:28 AM PDT I just can't stop her from getting into her grenade stash and eating them!!! My Titan tried sharing his Crayons and she refused them. My Hunter brought some Salt (Invader flavor), but no, she rejects them all. Grenades are all she cares about, all she eats, all she breathes. I try running other builds with her, but it's no use. She always ends up relapsing back, and worse everytime. Running stormcaller? She brings her Getaway Artists, doesn't matter which attunments. As soon as she can she eats a grenade, pukes out an Arc Bro on the middle of battle, then carries on as if she has not a care in the world, letting her little Arc Buddy shoot everything that moves while she trips out on ArcBolt grenades and rocks herself to sleep sitting in the middle of a rift in the fetal position waiting for her next handfull of lightning to choke down. Dawnblade? Things just keep getting worse...Top tree is just an excuse for her stay high. Sometimes when we go into the crucible she refuses to touch the ground...refuses to come down. Just inhales one grenade after the other....and then theres the set of Sunbracers that Xur gave her... I've watched my Guardian snap the neck of an oncomming Titan JUST so she get her next solar hit. Voidwalker? Well...this is where it all started...with Devour....Devour, Devour, Devour. For a long time it was all she cared about. Every ball of purple black void energy she jammed down her gullet brought with it the EUPHORIA of Devour.....and that was just that gateway. Things are getting worse now...now she has found that she can share them. From her Well of Radiance my guardian now FEEDS her allies... Wearing an old, tattered, Starfire Protocol she's getting others hooked. Titans and hunters stick close to her now for those "Healing" Grenades she throws out left, right, and center. Even other Warlocks keep asking her for some of those "White Light" bumps to make them "Feel better". Given the right situation she doesn't take the safety off her weapons. Titans and hunters have guns too, and if she just keeps them hooked on her light then they seem perfectly content to kill absolutely everything that moves so long as my Warlock keeps "The good stuff" on hand. I don't know what to do about this anymore fellow Guardians...I just don't know... Edit: I would like to thank the Guardian who left this gold here for me. It is my first time holding one of these and I am deeply greatful. Edit #2: This post now has a Seal! His name is Rockto. Please, avoid feeding him grenades of any kind.

| As a new player, I don't understand why raids don't have better loot than other activities. Posted: 28 May 2020 04:47 AM PDT So I recently started playing this game, and for the most part I am really enjoying myself. The game is without a doubt very impressive. I especially love the raids, dungeons and strikes. However, having started raiding, it is very confusing to me why raids have barely any exotics at all, when you can get exotics from very very easy quests. Usually in mmos, raids offer the best loot in the game, because they are usually the hardest content and requires a lot of setup to even attempt. I also feel like more people would raid, if raids were the only way to get most exotics. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The complete list of weapons being retired (season per season) Posted: 28 May 2020 10:05 AM PDT I've seen plenty of posts arguing for or against gear retirement, but I couldn't find an actual list of when my favorite weapons will be sunset. So I went ahead and built a somewhat complete list including all Pinnacles, Rituals, most popular weapons (based on usage on PVP and PVE), and groups based on sources. You can find the list here. The web version has an image for each weapon and includes all the sunsetting "rules" I've gathered from Bungie's posts so far. Here you have the text version too: Fall 2020: Season 12: Big expansion► Weapons and armor from Seasons 1-8:
Winter 2020: Season 13► Weapons and armor from Seasons 9
Spring 2021: Season 14► Weapons and armor from Seasons 10:
Hopefully, we'll learn more about their "sunsetting" rules in today's TWAB as everyone keeps imagining the worst. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Turn Pinnacles into Exotics, and just retire the legendary versions Posted: 28 May 2020 01:21 AM PDT Title. Most are only OP because they have the strength of an Exotic weapon without the limitation of only one being equipped at a time, MTop and Recluse specifically. Those are the two weapons that I struggle to find no need for an exotic to be in my loadout because they basically are exotics without the yellow. It's not like the others would need much adjustment to become exotics. No real change to Recluse, MountainTop, Wendigo, and 21% Delirium. Adjust(Not necessarily nerf or buff, just tune to be a proper exotic) Revoker, Breakneck, and Loaded Question. Buff the ever living hell outta Oxygen SR3, just combine Mega-whatever and dragonfly into one. Revert the Not Forgotten nerf, keep the Lunas Howl one(or just slightly buff the thing). Have Lunas be the stepping stone gun much like Rose is to Lumina. Unless I'm blind, I didn't find a post suggesting this. Although I'm sure the idea isn't original, figured it's a good time to bring it up all things considered [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 28 May 2020 01:02 PM PDT Before I go into the bulk of the post I a of two opinions. One being that neither difficulty nor a power fantasy in a game are mutually elusive. Two being that I mean so as a group, please do not comment saying how you just prefer one or the other. I'm not saying you don't, I'm saying I see both often desired across multiple community posts and often conflicting with one another. One issue is the obsession I sometimes see with permanently challenging content, or the desire for it. Unless a game is specifically designed to be inconsistent, no content will remain 'challenging' one players do it 50+ times and work out a repeatable strategy. I think expecting or asking for content that will 'remain' challenging for months at a time is not realistic. HOWEVER, challenge is an important part of destiny and I believe can coexist in addition to the power fantasy. This is where destiny's gear and light systems excel. You can have content that is challenging at first, but as players practice more and more and get better gear, better builds etc destiny is at its best when it then adepts the activity may become 'easy' or at the very least not too difficult. Destiny is at its' best when it embraces content that is challenging for a time AND embraces the longer turn power fantasy [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It would be cool if NPCs referred to players by their titles instead of “Guardian”. Posted: 28 May 2020 07:04 AM PDT A small amount of extra work for the voice actors, but I reckon it would add some real flavour to cut scenes and vendors.

| Bet a lot of you know this, but I thought it was cool Posted: 28 May 2020 09:33 AM PDT So I was watching Back to the Future for the first time in a while and when Marty said, "This is a blues riff in B. Watch me for the changes, and try to keep up," I felt serious deja vu. I thought to myself, where have I possibly heard that and then like 1 minute later I figured out that Cayde said something very similar. "This is a Cayde riff in 6. Watch me for the changes, and uh try to keep up." I think it is pretty cool that Bungie put a Back to the Future reference in the game and I completely went over my head originally.

| When the Pyramid ships arrive, I want to feel nearly powerless and utterly afraid. Posted: 28 May 2020 03:10 PM PDT With the direction bungie started to take in Shadowkeep with the concept of the pyramids being this terrifying and seemingly unbeatable force, it would be nice for once for us guardians to lose. I'm not talking the Red War, I'm talking bigger, impacting the game as a whole, leaving us with little to nothing by the end of the main campaign. It'd be such a cool experience if the new end game became us trying to retake ground in the system, such as the other enemy factions, like the vex transforming planetoids into one of their machines or the fallen gaining footholds all over the Earth, all while the pyramids are hunting us guardians down, cutting down our numbers drastically, making each encounter with them a high stakes, stress filled experience. I want to band together with my fellow guardians and retake what was once ours, or even establish new territory, safe from the influence of the pyramids. By no means do I expect bungie to actually go exactly in this direction, but even if just one of these aspects is present in the next fall expansion, then I'll be extremely satisfied. The only thing I don't want to see is that the enemy within the pyramids be treated like any other enemy faction, they need to be more intimidating and frightening.

| No good feelings in getting god rolls anymore Posted: 28 May 2020 04:48 AM PDT I just got an arc logic with small bore, tactical mag, overflow and rampage, but I didn't feel a hint of accomplishment or happiness for acquiring this god roll (imo) because I knew it would be useless in the season after next. Big sad :( [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Destiny Strikes: An examination of what makes D1 strikes more engaging than D2 Posted: 28 May 2020 03:40 AM PDT Final Edit/PS: Thank you all for responding to this discussion! I've just about managed to respond to most of everyone's thoughts, and you've made very good points about this topic. I've gotten some pretty good ideas from reading your comments. I feel like I could have done a much more thorough job on this post and I'll be writing a second version that's more complete within the coming week or two. I plan to rewatch gameplay of Destiny 1 strikes to remind myself of the finer details (While I have Destiny 1, I've become rusty on console and I don't have Xbox Live) and play through more Destiny 2 strikes. Thank you all again!
In Destiny 1, the strike bosses had much more health than their D2 counterparts, such that you sometimes couldn't kill them with just the ammo in reserves. This required you to be in the fight for longer, and you therefore needed to learn how to deal with the boss attacks and the adds that spawn. Couple this with the fact that bosses dealt much more damage on average, and you end up having an actual risk of failing the strike if you were not adept at dealing with the boss attacks. The best boss to use to highlight this fact would be The Warden's Servitor. It's move set is quite challenging if you are in the fight long enough to deal with the solar flare attack. To survive the solar flares, you need to make good use of cover while also battling the enemies that still come after you. The only problem? I've been in very few instances of this strike where we didn't melt the boss faster than they could use their special attack. This is a case where the strike would be so much better if the boss just had more health, and I strongly urge Bungie to make this simple change if a developer is reading this. -Edit 1: I highly recommend reading the threads below, because people make some good points and I'm trying to respond to them all-Edit 2: I didn't expect this many responses. I'll try to respond to them all :)-Edit 3: I will just recommend reading some of the threads below again, because they really do a nice job of covering the details that were left out in the main post.-Edit 4: Yeah, there are enough details in the comments here that I'm probably going to make a second post just to attempt to summarize them.

| To the Warlock giving out hugs in Rumble tonight Posted: 28 May 2020 08:30 PM PDT | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 28 May 2020 02:17 AM PDT Title says it all. Just baffles me. I spent a ridiculous amount of time going for Not Forgotten. It's not even OP right now or anything. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 28 May 2020 09:38 PM PDT I don't know why I call him gambit man but I do and I just really like his voice [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Opinion: D2 Needs an archetypal replacement for Mountaintop upon its retirement Posted: 28 May 2020 10:46 AM PDT Handheld GL are fantastic guns, and MT was one of the few truly unique legendary kinetic special weapons. Maybe it's time for handheld rocket launchers-- an archetype to let the wider playerbase experience what makes Mountaintop so fun and unique to use. Other pinnacles, I'll miss them, sure, but it's the total uniqueness of the way MT works that I'd like to see commoditized.

| Posted: 28 May 2020 04:23 PM PDT There's still a bit before it gets sunset but the poor thing never got to exist in the first place. Figured I would send my condolences its way early. Poor shooty boi never even got to live. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| These poor Exotics have been in the game since Vanilla D2 and still don't have an ornament for them Posted: 28 May 2020 06:12 PM PDT PeaceKeepers, Mechaneer's Tricksleeves, Lucky Raspberry, Starfire Protocol No real point to this post. Just thought it was kinda interesting that they have been in the game for almost 3 years and they still don't have ornaments. [link] [comments] |
