    FALSE IDOLS

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 10:00 AM PDT

    Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/49185


    The High Priest knelt before his withered god, mired in the ambivalence of shattered ideology; his faith replaced by the reality of Xol's failure. No wisdom or debased ritual buried in decrepit tomes could restore what was lost, nor was he inclined to attempt such an act.

    Disillusion swept over—the Will of Thousands, silenced by Light and code. He would have called this an act of heresy once, when the truth had not yet been revealed:

    There are no gods. There are only chains, and those at either end.

    Nokris had been the ignorant staring into the sun, for what is divinity but a star that blinds? A statue to be toppled, that it may galvanize the wailing masses who seek power in the death of old things. Gods, broken by pawns, brought low and driven into the mud.


    Nokris drifted in the heart of winter, at the northern pole of Mars. He lacked the strength to raise what remained frozen beneath the surface. He closed his eyes and reached into the tucked corners of existence with his mind, searching for remnants of Xol's power, only to find his communion denied by months of disconnected indifference.

    Through his outreach, he had come to know that Xol lived, burrowed deep and forgotten within the crust of another world. He had grazed the edge of confirmation with his old god, only to feel it wriggle away, apathetic and eager to break ties. Nokris, too weak to fulfill his purpose, was abandoned. The Worm sought to be wielded by another, to fill their hands with power as self-justified servitude in the bowels of Io.

    Despite the many traces of Xol's influence remaining on Mars, none would serve him better than the scrap of Worm-hide he gripped within his claws. He may be unable to produce the death necessary to feed its appetite and coerce paracausal change from it, but he knew those who could foster the necessary violence. A plan began to form in his mind, whispered from deep recesses he had not explored in many years.


    He had held the scrap taken from Xol's remains for so long that it had eaten grooves into the bone plating on his hand. With it, he intended to force open that which had always been kept from him by the logic of the Sword. He meant to craft his own Ascendant gate from the grave-corpse legions of his risen brood. Fetid ranks of Thrall, rotted beneath rime on cracked chitin, encircled him and awaited the ritual. Their refurbished flesh: soulfire kindling.

    He drew upon the Deep and let the latent tethers clinging to Xol's slough guide his will until he could mold reality around it. The bait was set. Agents of the Sky were expected, and so they came with fury and the fuel of death. They did as they were built to do; obsequious and domineering, they knew no other way but to cleanse that which stood in opposition to their arresting Light. Their righteous carnage berthed Nokris's transition, and his snare drew watchful eyes from the Taken Throne.

    The Sky's vassals stormed the Penumbral Depths, as they had done many times before. Their fear of Xol's resurrection drove their furor like searing irons at their back. Fear he had twisted to his purpose. His death: an offering that would seal the spell and create a pinprick piercing through which his soul could slip into the Ascendant Plane.

    But guile was the language of a more ancient player, and she had taken notice of his cunning. She directed Nokris away from his destination to instead wash upon the shores of her court. As his vision cleared, his eyes strained to see the Taken Queen, cloaked in the midnight glory of an event horizon.


    A singularity throne perverted the space before him. The Queen of lies, wrapped in distortion and gravitational lensing, sat within its inestimable depth. Her voice was distant red-shift discord and all around him. Her presence: the realm itself, boundless and willing to take.

    Savanthun's words spewed forth. "Breaker of pacts. A heretic stands here. What denial has yet to be given that you would return to me?"

    "I fed the Worm, and still it faltered," he said. Nokris stared directly into the empty point of space, continually caving in on its form. He could barely define her silhouette within the warp.

    "To falter is its nature," Savathun's words were tinged in curiosity, "though not by your efficacious methods."

    Nokris preened the flesh of his face back to display a skeletal smile. "The Sword bears no truth. The Worms are gods of thin ambition and reign vast nothing."

    "Brave words in this place. Do you not think they are watching?"

    Nokris bowed his head for the first time since he was drawn here. "The Queen is clever. You did not share my father's single-minded ambition, nor my brother's taste for glory."

    "You wish to serve me?" The thin image twitched within the backlit accretion glow.

    "My life is spent: servitude to those who cast me away. Our blood is all that remains of the old pact."

    "Then let us make use of each other."

    Nokris raised his gaze. "What use would I be to a god?"

    "No gods."

    He nodded. "So it has always been."

    Savathun's voice converged onto him from every direction. "You, a usurper: the first tug at the end of the chain."

    "To act as distraction or await slaughter?" Nokris's voice sunk with disappointment.

    "No. As a thorn, you have circumvented the Deep through forbidden sacrament, and so you shall continue. The Deep fears me, as we feared you. Ignorance keeps. Knowledge usurps. In this, you have found purpose in my court."

    The High Priest's shoulders straightened. "You feared me?"

    "In a younger time, intents were narrower. I see your value, as we should have then. All who denied you, blinded by the Sword, let them fall away as grains from the scythe."

    "I am the implement?"

    "You are the mechanism by which we sever their chain." Savathûn's voice filled his skull with silken promise. "Teach me your necromancies, usurper of the ordered way, so that together we may circumvent the anchored logic that drags us into the depths. Serve as foil to scatter the pieces of their grand game across the cosmos."

    "As Xol did for my heart, I offer a trade. Knowledge for knowledge. Grant me sight into the Dreaming Mind's talent, and I will teach what you ask."

    "A rebellious bargain in the midst of Dark tides; it is bound. Under my symbol, reborn and made in my image, our bargain will set new beginnings in motion."

    "The Masters convene here?" Concern dripped from Nokris's words. "Do we mean to move against them?"

    "Not so directly. Arrival is imminent. A Shadow will reach out and make itself known."

    "I am to obscure the connection?"

    "Where Sky meets Deep, you shall be the screen that sows dissonance, and for it… we will walk unhindered by the parasitic inclinations of those who believe themselves mighty."

    Nokris saw the scheme. "The will of many bent to our hand. No longer do they draw upon us."

    "Freedom. They are beset against each other. We walk the space between."

    "An accord is struck."

    "Speak my name."

    "Savathûn, Subjugant to None, Sword-Breaker, and Queen to the Taken Throne."

    "To me, you are bonded. Go forth an enact my will."

    Nokris was cast out of Savathûn's court as suddenly as he had been ripped into her presence. He drifted in the Ascendant Plane, no longer directionless.

    Behind him, the court faded, and its shimmering illusion fell like curtains upon a stage. The dark core of the singularity wavered; sunken within its gravitational well was a lone Thrall and no other. Its death spread over eons of deterioration, mouth agape to utter words at the Taken Queen's whim as patsy, and nothing more.

    Her presence had been but a mirage, soaked and sold by the lie of her mouthpiece puppet to whom Nokris unknowingly spoke. In truth, only a Thrall stood within orbit of the singularity, for the Queen would not be so foolish to reveal herself.

    Savathûn looked upon her charlatan court from distant transcendent hollows. Her nascent alliance had produced power twin-fold, in that of Nokris's devotion, as well as his deception through her mouthpiece Thrall positioned within the singularity. She breathed in his desperate agreement and prepared for the struggle to come.

    Shoutout to Eris Morn’s VA and Eris as a character

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 12:35 PM PDT

    "GUARDIAN YOUR ASSISTANCE HERE WOULD NOT BE UNWELCOME" Made my spine chill when she said this line, Eris is usually calm(ish) and very level headed, hearing her literally scream in fear was crazy! I've enjoyed Eris' subtle character development over the last year, originally I thought she was just some creepy weirdo back in D1 and I use to question which side she was really on but her misc. lines and SK expansion has made me enjoy her a LOT more

    Prophecy should drop the original Trials of the Nine guns instead of re-iconned forsaken guns

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 08:47 AM PDT

    Title. Can't really understand why this was done. The OG Nine guns were badass looking and there are now two missed opportunities to reintroduce the whole set - reckoning and now Prophecy. The original Nine armor is back, but not the guns. I only ever managed to get the sidearm back in the day but I'd love to see that set come back.

    Drop them into the prophecy pool and take the re-iconned forsaken guns back into their regular sources for incentive to play them too

    Bungie, with the removal of 5 locations this Fall, what is going to happen to the planetary materials economy?

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 10:40 AM PDT

    Are we going to be forced to go to Spider for Alkane Dust? Will the need for Alkane dust be removed as well? Or will all planetary materials be consolidated into a single consumable (similar to how Hadronic Essense, Sapphire Wire, and Plasteel were consolidated in Destiny 1).

    Please let us know so we can start planning accordingly.

    Personally, I think consolidating them all would be the best course of action, especially in the long term with content cycling in and out of the game.

    EDIT: Someone pointed out that planetary tokens share the same questionable fate.

    EDIT2: For everyone asking who I guess didn't watch the reveal or check this sub.

    Starting in the fall, Bungie is going to starting cycling content in and out of the game to make it more manageable. Titan, Io, Merucry, Mars, and the Leviathan are are going to be cycled out of the game in the fall. They are going to cycle in the Cosmodrome, as well as add a new area, Europa.

    If public events are gonna continue to be the main focus of seasons,can we at least get some decent rewards from the chest at the end of them?

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 03:43 PM PDT

    700 glimmer and 2 planetary mats just ain't cutting it. I don't need it to rain exotics or anything,but c'mon man,is a couple thousand glimmer too much to ask for?
    Maybe like five or ten planetary materials at least? A decent chunk of XP?

    A DARK LOADING SCREEN

    This new season has really changed my view on our Drifter friend.

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 08:56 AM PDT

    I used to think of the Drifter formerly known as Wu Ming as a sly guy, a lone badass ready secure him and his. He's willing to levy the darkness against the darkness and toes that fine line.

    During the quest we see him for who he truly is. He laughs for 7 minutes straight after calling you old and then in text he physically puts our hand to his to get a high five.

    All this time we thought he was aloof like a badass, but he's just an eccentric cornball who is in love with Eris Morn. I don't mind, I find it quite endearing.

    Not having exotic armor this season is disappointing and should NOT be a thing going forward

    Bungie if you're going to force sun setting down our throats just to give us the exact same weapons back, give us a way keep our rolls.

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 07:36 AM PDT

    Title. This could be solved a large number of ways:

    Making magazine/barrel/sights and perk rolls (or even just perks would be fine to make us grind for stats) mods instead of randomly rolled. This choice is my personal favorite as it adds to your "we want the most rpg elements incorporated into fpsmmo." We can literally build our weapons the way we want and you can keep feeding us that bullshit about the same guns restamped for the new season

    Allowing us to transfer perks (or even just one perk) from an old weapon to a new one when infusing. Again this decreases the depth of grinding we have to do to acquire THE EXACT SAME WEAPON WE ALREADY SPENT HOURS GRINDING TO AQUIRE. By limiting the perk transition to 1 perk during infusion would could still force players to grind to some extent to get the perk and stat rolls they want.

    Just dont sunset and follow up by GIVING US THE SAME EXACT WEAPON. Truth be told, this is my favorite option but I guess that doesn't count for anything because it's not going to happen.

    I'm sure there are even more ways that this sun setting issue could be resolved but these are just a couple of my ideas! Feel free to share any of yours or improve upon mine!

    Pretty weird we have no new dialogue from Asher about the gigantic Pyramid that just arrived next to him or Ana when Rasputin has literally been DISABLED.

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 04:36 PM PDT

    Ana is literally vibing after Rasputin fucking dies. You could argue the Darkness hasn't arrived on Mars yet, but in the first mission Zavala says that "They already disabled Rasputin".

    BE CAREFUL: If your engram is at higher power level, Umbral Focusing it will drop a pinnacle reward light level to a powerful reward light level.

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 09:24 AM PDT

    BE CAREFUL: If your engram is at higher power level, Focusing it will drop a pinnacle reward light level to a powerful reward light level.

    EDIT: A lower light level umbral drop can also be bumped UP in light level to your light level when focused.

    EDIT 2: This is after using your 3 bonuses for the week from focusing.

    So say you're at 1006 and have a 1004, a 1008 and a 1012.

    The 1004 focuses to 1008 (might actually read 1006 on the focus screen but it focuses to 1008). The 1008 focuses to 1008. The 1012 focuses down to 1008.

    EDIT 3: Engrams are loaded into the focuser in order of appearance on the engrams section of the Inventory screen.

    Anyone else feel slower? Jump is off too? (Not Powerful friends related).

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 03:07 PM PDT

    I'm reposting from Crucible Playbook. I'm on console.

    I'm not talking about the sprint toggle or powerful friends nerf. I have fixed my armor to have the same mobility as before and didnt even use PF on my Warlock. I am all around sluggish on all 3 classes. Missing jumps. Just feel slower. Something seems off. I thought it might just be me but got a number of similar replies.

    Maybe the remap changes made controller less responsive? Or traction got messed up somehow? Not sure.

    Are you having the same issue?

    Optimized Bounties For 6/10/2020

    Posted: 10 Jun 2020 10:52 AM PDT

    Deer trivia: In Greek mythology, deer are associated with Artemis, the goddess of the Hunt. In one myth, a hunter named Actaeon was hunting with his dogs when he came across Artemis bathing in a pool. When she saw him, she turned him into a deer, and he was killed and eaten by his own hounds.


    Step 1 - Don't be a creep.

    Step 2 - Pick up the following Dailies. Weeklies can be found here.

    Tower Bounties:

    • Zavala Daily – The Harder They Fall – Kill 10 Challenging Enemies in Strikes
    • Zavala Daily – Show Them The Light – 5 Super Kills in Strikes
    • Shaxx Daily – By the Code – Kill 10 Opponents in Crucible
    • Shaxx Daily – Lightbearer – 3 Ability Kills in Crucible
    • Shaxx Daily – Into the Light – 1 Super Kill in Crucible
    • Shaxx Daily – Combat Drill – 3 Kills in Clash
    • Drifter Daily – Fistful of Motes – Bank 25 Motes in Gambit

    • Prismatic Recaster – Breakin' Taken – Kill Taken With Finishers
    • Prismatic Recaster – Wayfaring Spelunker – Open Lost Sector Chests

    Planetaries

    • Failsafe – Lightbringer – Create 10 Orbs of Light on Nessus
    • Failsafe – Friend or Foe – Kill 30 Fallen on Nessus

    1. Play one 750 Ordeal. Finish Taken along the way until you clear "Breakin' Taken." (15 minutes)
    2. Fly to Nessus, grab Failsafe's bounties, then clear a Fallen Lost Sector. (5 minutes)
    3. Fly to Io, grab Asher's bounties, then clear a Vex Lost Sector. (5 minutes)
    4. Fly to Mars, grab Ana's bounties, then clear the Hive Lost Sector. (5 minutes)
    5. I am hoping the above three will clear "Wayfaring Spelunker," but since I haven't tested it yet, it may not. If it doesn't, it should be close, so clear another Lost Sector of your choice. (5 minutes)
    6. Play two Crucible matches, one of which is Clash. (20 minutes)
    7. Play two Gambit Prime matches. (20 minutes)
