| Posted: 21 May 2020 02:08 PM PDT Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/49126 This week at Bungie, something unexpected happened on the way to the Moon Bunker. Many of you have been chasing a Lie. Last week, you began your hunt with Ana, successfully defending Seraph Towers in the Winding Cove, Anchor of Light, and the Rupture (or watched as your fellow Guardians carried the weight…). You burned through a thousand enemies with your trusty Shotgun. Sadly, your quest for answers came to a halt on Sunday evening, all thanks to a faulty door on the Moon's bunker. Earlier this morning, Destiny 2 Hotfix 2.8.1.3 was released, unblocking your journey in finding truth behind The Lie. While we hate to see a bug ship, we're excited to right the ship as quickly as possible. Now, we look to what comes next. Season of the Worthy is winding down, which means it's time for a round of previews from the team. This week, we're hyper focused on Legendary Engrams and weapon tuning. Decrypting the FutureLast week, we did a deep dive on how loot will be evolving Season over Season. With the upcoming addition of a Max Power Level to your gear, players have been asking how acquisition methods will be changing. We have a breakdown from the Destiny Dev Team on how we're keeping the items you earn from Legendary Engrams and core activities relevant during a given Season.
Lock and ReloadAlongside the changes to the World Loot Pool, we have some changes coming to Destiny 2's Sandbox. This week, we'll be focused on weapons – specifically perk tuning. Here's a quick breakdown from the team on what to expect:

| Bungie, allow me to Revoke your Beloved notions on sniper zoom Posted: 21 May 2020 07:53 PM PDT I want to cast a retort to this part of the TWAB:
Let me say this as clearly as I can: YOUR. MAPS. ARE. SMALL. There isn't a single map in the crucible where additional zoom is wanted or needed. The only reason I use medium zoom scopes on certain guns is because they need all the range they can get (looking at you, Hard Truths). Maybe if I was a slack-jawed casual with a tiny TV on the far side of the room I would want zoom, but I'm not so I don't. I have a monitor that sits directly in front of me and I can aim across the maps with no zoom just fine. You simply cannot make higher-than-minimum zoom compelling unless you're going to let us shoot each other at ranges that justify it. You know what games accomplish this? Battlefield 4 and PUBG make high zoom desirable. Why? Because both games let you snipe from ranges where any non-sniper weapon is simply unable to retaliate in any capacity at all. Either make bigger maps with longer sightlines where zoom is actually useful, or stop making sniper rifles with ridiculously unnecessary zoom, but don't tell us you need to launch an investigation to figure out why nobody is interested in ruining their FOV every time they want to try to snap a headshot.

| Posted: 21 May 2020 11:31 AM PDT Your painful grind wasn't for nothing. You just gifted everyone precious farming hours. You just made sure no guardian has to ever grind for a Mindbender's ever again. You may not have realized it but you did. The community owes you on this one. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Acquiring the Trials Title should unlock the armor glows permanently Posted: 21 May 2020 09:09 AM PDT Or make it like, after 7 flawless maps on the same character, you get the glows permanently. Or literally any way to unlock it permanently because temporary glows are a terrible reward. [link] [comments] |
| Please don't sunset the class specific Menagerie swords Posted: 21 May 2020 02:51 PM PDT With sunsetting just around the corner, there will be a significant reduction in swords available to use in end game content. The Menagerie swords are the only class specific weapons in the game, and are incredibly unique being the only different archetypes of swords in the game. I think they should have the exotic treatment of not being sunset unless new versions of them are released. [link] [comments] |

| Datamining ruined The Lie quest Posted: 21 May 2020 11:17 AM PDT Despite it (datamining) being a hype generator, the title says it all. That is just wery wrong. The plot was strong, and the plot twist was really cool. And almost everything important about it was put to eceryone's sight by dataminers. [link] [comments] |
| Felwinter’s Lie is only slightly better than any other meta shotgun that’s been getting used. Posted: 21 May 2020 11:31 AM PDT It's slightly more consistent because of shot package. That's it. This isn't the "Felwinter's Reach" of D1. Not even close. It consistently kills at 7-8 meters which is exactly what god rolled Astral Horizons and Mindbender's do. This weapon being released is simply a balancing act so that ALL players can have a viable shotgun for the crucible without the mindless grinding some of us have done for godrolled versions of other shotguns. So before you start crying that this weapon is "broken", check yourself. It's just another good shotgun. There might be an uptick in use since it's new, but that doesn't mean it's the best or needs to get "nErFeD". Edit: Clarity. [link] [comments] |
| The Lie hotfix was done pretty quickly, actually Posted: 21 May 2020 05:25 AM PDT Now, this is a problem that shouldn't have existed in the first place and Bungie deserve a lot of criticism for the Season of the Worthy. But I'd like to say thanks to those who was on the forefront of fixing this. I imagine it was a pretty intense couple of days: identifying the issue, fixing it, coordinating efforts to pack it up in the hotfix, send it for approval and prepare servers for the update, all done in a span of essentially two or three days, while working from home. So yeah, good job and kudos to those who've worked on this. Edit: if it turns out the quest is still broken or something else in the game broke afterwards, please don't @ me. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 May 2020 08:20 PM PDT Year 3 of Destiny 2 really hasn't been great and now you're capping it off with possibly the most wildly unpopular decision in the franchise's history in gear sun-setting. Year 3 has seen us go from 3 raids a year down to 1, seasonal content is now disposable and much, much lower in quality, and to top it off now our gear will be too. Two years of content is about to become largely irrelevant and frankly that content has been doing a lot of work to prop up the new seasonal model since $10 worth of content doesn't hold my attention for 3 months, I'm lucky if it lasts 3 weeks. Year 3 has been take, take, take with no give from you whatsoever. So, I think it would be a really good idea to back off from your current vision for this game until you can come up with some way of making up for everything you've taken away. Because Destiny 2 in Year 4 looks to be a bloody small game compared to now and I'm just not interested in a Destiny 2 without the breadth and depth it currently has. [link] [comments] |
| Half of Next Season's Loot Pool will be Sunsetting 3 Months Later, in September 2020 Posted: 21 May 2020 03:21 PM PDT Early this September, at the start of Season 12 , a majority of older weapons will be "Sunset" - meaning we won't be able to infuse them to endgame Power Levels, and therefore they will likely not be viable in endgame content. In the May 21st TWAB, Bungie announced that it was restricting the "World" loot pool to a select group of 30 Legendary weapons. I was curious as to how many of those weapons would be immediately rendered moot in endgame content this fall, when Sunsetting begins. The Outcome: 50% of the weapons in Season 11's Loot Pool will be Sunset this upcoming September, when Season 12 begins. Of the remaining weapons, 20% will be Sunset in December 2020 and 30% will be Sunset in March 2020. Here is the list of weapons, and when they are going to be Sunset, per Light.gg:
Obviously this begs the question - why would anyone grind for "god rolls" for the weapons that are being phased out this fall? [link] [comments] |
| A quote from a Bungie Weekly Update prior to Dark Below Expansion Posted: 21 May 2020 05:39 PM PDT
History does in fact, repeat itself. Get ready to regrind for those weapons you've spent the last 2 years grinding for. Unless they introduce a consumable to bring sunset weapons/armor to current power level. Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/12447/7_Bungie-Weekly-Update---12042014 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 May 2020 07:21 AM PDT I thought the endgame got really stale this year. Last year, the endgame kept expanding and bungie said it got way too bloated and big. Is this year what they were hoping for in that regard? If not, what do they plan on doing next year? [link] [comments] |

| Hey Bungie, the Felwinter story is beautiful. Thanks, and well done. Posted: 21 May 2020 03:48 PM PDT Spoilers for the quest below! Kinda rambly, but hey. This was beautiful. A classic tragedy, given a Destiny twist. A father feeling betrayed when the son did nothing wrong, acting out, destroying a relationship, realizing only too late that in their ignorance and selfishness and stubbornness they cost themselves a relationship they'd treasured, fractured beyond repair, and lost their son forever. And what we learned about the Iron Lords and SIVA! It was bait. In his jealousy and anger, Rasputin murdered Felwinter and, by extension, all who went with him. The Iron Lords did not fall as a result of their avarice or greed or lust for power, but rather, they were deceived by Rasputin because of his own negativity and jealousy. "Felwinter's Lie," then, is not a lie that he told. It's a lie he fell for, a lie that killed him. His fate was determined by Rasputin's lie, his story forever defined by it, his story forever inseparable from it. He was not the deceiver, but the deceived. We also know Rasputin knew his mistake as soon as it was made. In classic fashion, only too late did he realize what he'd done. So now he honors his son, dead by his own hand, as best he can: what tiny parts of him he could recover, kept in a crypt near and dear to his almost-literal heart. And we, having proved ourselves, earned the right to carry on a part of the son's legacy. Giving us that gun was deeply meaningful to Rasputin, he's clearly on our - The Guardian's - side now. And for anyone screaming "retcon," hell no: us only knowing part of the story, and learning more later, is not the same as the story changing. So Bungie: this was beautiful. The depth and emotion was incredible. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| We're 2 1/2 weeks from next season and I still can't see the Almighty from the Tower Posted: 21 May 2020 05:36 PM PDT Given that it's fucking huge... Like comparable to the size of a planet HUGE shouldn't we start to see it by now? Is it just going to unceremoniously just boop into existence over the Tower skybox? [link] [comments] |
| I started the day in no clan on mars, ended the day with 1k voices on my first raid. Posted: 21 May 2020 06:43 AM PDT I started the day playing escalation protocol to try and get the wayfarer title, next thing i know a guy was tagging along helping me out. I joined his clan and did my first ever Garden of Salvation and Last Wish, and on my first of two chests i got the 1k voices! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 May 2020 12:52 PM PDT Title. This remedies the problem of wasting time on RNG to get a god roll, along with weapons being broken for too long and requiring nerfs. If a weapon is too good, it isn't brought back and it loses relevance in endgame content. However, if Bungie decides to bring a weapon back, people can still use their old rolls on that weapon.

| Posted: 21 May 2020 05:39 AM PDT There are a # of edits at the bottom For ALL 6 of my grandmaster runs I used Eriana's Vow, timed payload HC, and either a sword or lmg. I never once varied my loadout, except for reserve perks or the choice between unstoppable and overload. Is it because Eriana's is OP? Wrong! There just simply isn't any weapon that can compete with how powerful the vow feels this season due to the selection of champ weapons; however I do expect next season to have more range weapons making Eriana's slightly less appealing. With the TWAB on 5/14/20; if Bungie truly wants my fireteam to have a "debate" about what to bring into a GM run and accept weapon sunsetting, then more exotics NEED champion counters. This is so I'm not stuck using Eriana's every season and those who missed out aren't at a disadvantage.(Remember the Symmetry "bug"??) The discussion before a GM run should sound like this: "What exotic weapons are we bringing and how does it affect our builds?" NOT "We're all bringing Eriana's, what does that leave us with?" With that said, I have a few examples/suggestions of how exotic weapons with champion counters would affect my builds or playstyle (limiting to Y3 for examples). So let's start with the most recent one: Heir-Apparent w/ Anti-Barrier I would've equipped this during the Warden of Nothing strike, as the arc-overshield would hopefully prevent the barrier hobgoblins from one-shotting and doubled as an extra layer of protection in the boss room (solar blast mechanic); potentially eliminating the need for a "cheese" spot. Now, maybe I run Trophy Hunter w/ vorpal weapon and my demolitionist Breachlight w/ overload rounds OR do I use my Tranquility with deep mag size and firing line to pair with Recluse one last time? If Fourth Horseman had overload rounds, I wouldn't have felt obligated to run a sword during Exodus Crash and maybe could have used Pyroclastic Flow and osmosis on Buzzard to run the rainbow more effectively (though not necessary on Exodus). If Bastion had anti-barrier I would've taken more risks and gone for big hunter invis plays to stun a champ before they even knew what hit them. Maybe taken even more risks on Arms Dealer and take an energy sniper as well to melt the boss on the elevator faster and challenge my team. If Tommy's Matchbook had overload rounds my friend who is a warlock main could try out a devour build instead of instant locking onto Phoenix + Well. I could also try to use Wormhusk instead of Sixth Coyote every run. Levi's Breath could have potential but I believe it only needs a slight buff to either reserves or maybe increased damage on initial stun. Divinity is great on Master, but the bug w/ Eriana's crushes its GM value. Using Devil's Ruin this season also felt like a handicap. Either I run double primary w/ no range to help with barriers, or use any special and have only 2 AB rounds when generally 3 was the safer bet for most NFs. Obviously not all exotics need this treatment (Xeno, Anarchy, Whisper, 1K, IB etc.) but to leave most without champion stunning capability, GM is gonna be real boring next season knowing my strategy or loadout change will only reflect the artifact. If sunsetting isn't touching exotics, then at least let me experiment with more of them during the endgame without hurting my team's ability to stun champs. Sincerely, A hardcore fan Edit: As it currently stands the rewards structure is terrible, but my main reason to continue doing GM is to help friends/clanmates earn their seal. Edit2: I understand IB+Div is still a very powerful combo, but a lot of people have struggled to aquire the gun (bugged quest on numerous occasions) and I know a lot of people w/out it. Edit3: Obviously there are so many Y1 exotics that could use some champ mods, I only used Y3 for my examples. Edit4: I am NOT calling for Eriana's nerf, there just needs to be a few more exotics to stand with it so the gameplay doesnt get stale. Edit5: I understand GM is doable w/out Eriana's and using Mtop/Anatchy etc. works well. However, I just want more exotics w/ champ stunning abilities. Imagine coldheart w/ unstoppable?? Edit6: To clarify I felt that Eriana's was ez mode for 1st time triumph/seal completion. It's repeat runs that I want to try new things and challenge myself or let someone know that we don't need meta loadouts. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 May 2020 12:46 AM PDT I think I can speak for everyone here. Regardless of the ideas of sunsetting which I don't agree with, it's crystal clear that you cannot sustain a release every three months. The gameplay loop has become stale, the new seasonal activity can be unfun (Vex Offensive became boring extra quick, and I'm not even talking about Seraph Towers. Sundial was fun though, I'll admit that) and the amount of content we get isn't exactly that high, and not of a high quality either. It's ok if you can't pump a release out every 3 months. Take your time. I'll gladly wait more if that means I get good content that keeps me engaged. I don't mind waiting. You need to take 6 months now to drop a Season of the same quality level as Opulence or Black Armory? Sweet, take them. Charge me 15$ or 20$ in the process (can't remember how much they were) and take your 6 months to develop that instead of giving me bounty simulator and ball throws. I can wait for good content.
