    Did they make our characters weaker?

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 07:59 AM PDT

    Over the past week or so my team and I have been getting melted in every activity. Strikes, raids, dungeons, it doesn't matter. Strikes that my friends and I could finish before without dying end up taking much longer now because we keep wiping, even though our power level is increasing. I noticed it especially in the Shattered Throne, even though the requirement is only 750 we now have trouble getting to the bosses.

    Am I crazy?

    Bungie please when you put me in a strike that’s already started, place me at the checkpoint the other members are at rather than the BEGINNING of the strike

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 10:08 AM PDT

    This just happened in the festering core where the team was very close to the boss and I had to run for 5 minutes straight through empty sections to catch up to them. It happens infrequently, but would be such a huge QOL update if this could be done sometime in the future.

    Y’all excited for Europa and new supers while I’m over here excited we’re getting new grenades for the first time since the taken king.

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 03:22 AM PDT

    We've been using the same grenades for 5 years, and now we are finally getting some new grenades. I bet shaxx is really excited.

    Inventory Management in Destiny is absolute trash.

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 12:13 PM PDT

    Shaders should never start stacking up and going to my postmaster. Blues should not have to be deleted in sets of 3s after every crucible match. Popping a rainmaker shouldn't lock my consumables out for 15 seconds...

    Bungie. Whoever you've got on inventory and investment control... get them on this situation.

    Gambit is Destiny’s most unique and yet abandoned activity

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 06:40 AM PDT

    There is nothing out there in the gaming world like Gambit. And when it works, it really works. It has its many issues (which I won't reiterate here), but it has perhaps more potential than anything else in Destiny to really set the game apart from its competition.

    And yet it's seemingly been completely abandoned development wise. We haven't seen a new map, major tuning, or any sort of real news on Gambit after Luke Smith said that only one of the two modes would get "support" going forward.

    Now we know for sure that the directory is getting condensed to one playlist, but considering that's all we've heard I really hope Bungie goes out of their way to clarify what is next for Gambit. No other core rotational content has gone this long with absolutely nothing at all.

    Can someone help me understand why I need NEW versions of weapons?

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 09:22 AM PDT

    I fully understand and support the concept of sun setting weapons, but I'm still very confused as to why I need new versions of weapons in the loot pool. Is this a programming thing? I just don't understand why (bad omens for ex.) can't infuse up to 1360 but because of a little seasonal symbol a new one can.

    It's just a big punch in the gut given how many hours went into getting the materials needed to masterwork these weapons (not to mention a certain pride in their kill trackers).

    Playing Menagerie again for this weeks mission has reminded me how awesome an activity it is

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 01:18 AM PDT

    It's so good. Still heaps of fun!

    If Bungie redid the loot pool and maybe changed up some of the encounters it could easily come back and still be relevant.

    What if the Exo Stranger in Beyond Light hasn't met us yet?

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 07:13 PM PDT

    I've been asking ever since we met her on Venus, Who was she talking to? When we met her, she was having a conversation with someone on the other end of her coms line. It seems like the other person/people on the end of that line have heard of us since she says that she is with us in reply. We aren't that famous yet. We hadn't killed any gods. We may have showed promise from what fought on our way to Venus but not enough to warrant the attention of the stranger since our resurrection and those she talked with.

    So here is my theory, what if she was talking to someone from the present time of Beyond Light? What if the Exo Stranger of Beyond Light has not met us yet and we are the reason D1 Exo Stranger is following us from our resurrection back in D1? We fill her in on what happened in D1 during or post Beyond Light and she goes back to ensure it all happens?

    When she disappears after the D1 campaign, she returns to the Beyond Light time just after she had left that time? It can come full circle.

    Is sentinel hit registration something on Bungies radar? It’s been bugged for literally years.

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 05:30 PM PDT

    /u/dmg04 I haven't seen this addressed on the "known bugs" tabs so like is this even being looked at? It's crazy it's been this long.

    Protheon should have a small chance to spawn comically large like he temporarily did last year

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 06:37 PM PDT

    Inverted Spire seems to rarely show up in queue anymore, why not make there an equal chance of a Drake Tank spawning vs Protheon being massive? Rather if Inverted becomes the Ordeal at some point make the Grandmaster difficulty always spawn him that big, idk.

    Get rid of the Menagerie hint pop up.

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 07:33 AM PDT

    Look, I get it. You want me to get loot at the end of the activity, but stop reminding me every 2 seconds to apply a rune when I don't have any runes to apply. I have my hints turned off, but it still kept spamming me.

    Were is all the Enemy Themed loot? We kill and wipe out enough of them.

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 01:56 PM PDT

    We should be rolling in Enemy Loot. Especially Fallen.

    Seems like a simple enough source. The eververse had it going for a second.

    I played Destiny 2 with a REAL Guitar ��

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 10:33 AM PDT

    📺 Video link: https://youtu.be/Z7KtBzN9IXw

    So I figured out a way to control Destiny 2 with my Guitar. I used a program to convert my guitar input to MIDI and another program to convert MIDI to keyboard inputs.

    My guitar is plugged into the computer with my audio interface (I used an Axe-Fx II XL+, but any interface should be fine).

    I used a program called Beat Bars A2M to convert the guitar signal to MIDI. I tried a few programs and this one seemed to be the best one.

    Then the MIDI is converted into keyboard strokes using a program called MIDIKey2Key. This utility is REALLY cool! You can transform MIDI into almost anything. In the threads online I found examples of people using midi keyboards/pads to switch scenes in OBS. Very interesting!

    For my purposes, I mapped each of the main buttons in game to notes on my guitar (shoot, jump, WASD movement, reload, super, grenade, melee, etc.)

    It's really fun to try, but maybe not the most competitive controller around ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    For those interested, the guitars used in the video:

    • Taylor 614CE LTD
    • Ernie Ball Music Man Majesty (Starry Night)
    • Ernie Ball Music Man JP15 (Blueberry Burst)

    Hope this made you smile 😁

    Also if you enjoyed the end section, be sure to check out the original cover by Misha Mansoor from Periphery, his video is here: https://youtu.be/tDCLYfUOhaQ

    Not sure if mentioned before but titles would be a lot more desirable if they included a background for your character

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 08:48 PM PDT

    An example would be if you unlocked the curse breaker title you could choose to set your background to somewhere in the shattered throne, probably the giant portal to start the dungeon or the final boss room. It would also be cool if you could change the opacity and blur so if you want it subtle so it doesn't seem too intrusive or have it opaque so the background is very visible. Additionally have it so others can see it as well!

    Bonus points: if you can toggle animations or not, I could imagine with the Dregen title, taken blockers just walking around as if they were blocking the bank like one of those live windows wallpapers. (Obviously toggleable though because many people can not afford the frame loss)

    Good thing about sunsetting is that today i deleted about 200 weapons and 100 armor pieces from my vault.

    I dont look forward to opening bright engrams anymore.

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 12:28 PM PDT

    Honestly, bright engrams deserve a bit of a change. I've gotten the same stupid shaders, transmat effects, and maybe one or two new ornaments for a gun I never use, or an exotic I never use. The only thing i would really look forward to is ONE exotic ornament and one shader I've been waiting to get for months. Not to mention, there are still ornaments for guns getting sunsetted which doesnt make too much sense to me. If you want us to stop using old guns, and you implement a system to prevent that, you should take away the ornaments that would make us want to use them more. armor ornaments should get put in the pool for bright engrams, (I dont care which ornaments, as long as I can use it and it wont get put on a gun with a power cap of 1060) Shaders not in your collection should drop more often (we can just get shaders we have from collections for a few legendary shards) Ghost projections in blue rarity shouldnt exist (I feel like I have gotten the same stupidass treasure chest projection 30 times) Ghost shells, even though they are random roll, shouldn't drop duplicate. (After all, planets are soon to be vaulted, so what's the point) after getting one ghost shell, I should not get that one again, I should get a new one until I have them all (the actually useful ghost shells are purchasable from the front of the store) Nobody uses the legendary sparrows or ships they get from bright engrams, let's be honest. An exception would be Emotes because they dont drop duplicates, and they're all somewhat unique.

    If I got anything wrong in this list, like if something doesnt actually drop duplicates but I said it did, please tell me so I can fix it.

    The post-dungeon stats are awesome

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 09:54 AM PDT

    Haven't seen anyone mention this, but after you beat the dungeon if you let the timer run out you get stats for the final boss, including damage dealt per character. This is something we've been asking about for a long time, and is really cool to see in game!

    Thanks bungo!

    Please add drop protection for Pinnacles since it directly impacts ability to play end game modes.

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 06:49 PM PDT

    I get RNG and all that, but with limited ability to earn Pinnacles there needs to be some sort of drop protection.

    Getting 4 Pinnacle drops all in the energy slot this week really sucks.

    Sunsetting- good idea, bad execution

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 09:22 PM PDT

    So it's the second week already, and I fail to understand the point of sunsetting gear when what we're getting is the same thing but with an increased light cap and a new logo.
    Sunsetting things like recluse, mountaintop, not forgotten or "necessary/very good pinnacle weapons" would make sense(even though people spent tremendous amount of time getting them)- but why nerf guns which are just good like Randy's throwing knife, 21% delirium, Python etc -ritual/pinnacle weapons which doesn't hurt the playerbase or the game, they're just good.
    Also why nerf armor? That's a bit extreme imo. Masterworking a piece of armor is kinda hard because of scarcity of activities which give ascendant shard, so the most efficient way is nightfall ordeal strikes which take like 20-30 minutes each depending on the difficulty. All of that effort just gone to waste? Alright
    I like how Bungie said last year before the launch of Shadowkeep, "Play the way you want to play" only to realise most of the gear is gonna become irrelevant after an year.

    Some small QoL change, could we please see teammates revive timer above their ghost when down?

    Remember to save 5k or more bright dust for solstice.

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 08:05 PM PDT

    You know they're gonna hit us with these 5000 bright dust glow effects, maybe even silver exclusive or more bright dust this time considering solstice glows were 3k bright dust and the guardian games ornaments that didn't even look that good were 5000.

    Bungie, take a page from Warframe and start a program like Tennogen to really celebrate the artists in our community!

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 11:06 AM PDT

    For those unfamiliar, Tennogen is a program that sells commuity-created cosmetics.

    They're selected by the developer, only sold in the store for proxy currency (platinum there, so silver for Destiny), and revenue is split 70/30 DE/creator.

    This would be a great way to celebrate our artists and, hopefully, free up some Bungie resources to work on armor and other rewards that can be earned in-game without harming revenue from Eververse too much.

    Require people to have unstoppable, overload or antibarrier mods for match made NF Ordeals.

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 03:24 PM PDT

    Right now, for me at least, NF Ordeal Heroic makes me feel like I'm babysitting half the teammates I get because they won't use the mods to deal with champions. Instead they just burn all their ammo on one Champion instead of having the mod to deal with them in 5 seconds. Either require at least one weapon with a champion mod that matches the weekly NF or spam new players with this info every time they go try NF Ordeals. The difference in enjoyment between a team with the right mods equipped and a team that doesn't is massive.

    If you are attempting Prophecy on the first time on LFG please don’t join or make posts if you are lower than 1020. I’ve seen so many posts for example of people like, “First time Prophecy 940+” or something and I just facepalm.

    Posted: 27 Jun 2020 09:37 AM PDT

    Please read the recommended power for the dungeon and level accordingly before joining or making LFG posts for prophecy. I've played with so many people that either join or make posts for their first time and I have to tell them they can't do it because they are over 50 or 60 under the recommended power. To save people some time, please get it at least 1020 before attempting it.
