    Today, on the seventh day of the seventh month, we celebrate Bungie Day.

    Before you go thinking we're on an ego-trip here, this isn't something we created to honor ourselves. The very first Bungie Day was hosted by the players as a way to express their love for the games we make. We joined that party and, in the years that followed, we've used the occasion to celebrate that same community.

    It's a bit of an understatement to say that 2020 has been a challenging year. At the same time, games have a chance to help people feel less isolated in a world that may be closed to them. We hope you can take some time today to enjoy the friendships and memories forged through the games we've had the privilege of creating.

    Today is a celebration of you.


    Proper Attire

    When attending a celebration, you should always choose something nice to wear – something festive. The Bungie Store has you covered. They're even having a sale!

    During this pandemic, sick kids around the world are needing to be isolated from family and friends, and limit their exposure to critical care workers. A portion of your Bungie Store purchase will support the Bungie Foundation's efforts to keep kids connected, engaged, and entertained during this challenging time.


    Fresh Download

    Update 2.9.1 happened right in the middle of Bungie Day, so you have updates in the game to enjoy. More guests have arrived to the party as a dark influence grows across the system. The Contact public event is now on Titan and a new Exotic quest awaits you in the Tower.

    Patch notes are now live if you want to get more details on what this update is changing and what bugs are being squashed.

    That's not all we have in store for you. Keep reading to learn how you can triumph over the Darkness.


    Moments of Triumph

    The annual tradition of Guardians rising to the occasion returns today as Moments of Triumph is now live. There are challenges that await you and rewards should you succeed. For the full details, visit the official Moments of Triumph page.

    Here is a quick look at the rewards.

    Image Linkimgur

    For the truly committed, a new Seal and the "MMXX" title will be available for completing all 28 Triumphs, including some Triumphs that will go live during Solstice of Heroes in August. These must be completed during Season of Arrivals, but you can continue to show off your exclusive title in future Seasons as proof of your dedication.


    Featured Raids

    Starting today, the weekly reward limit is being removed from five featured raids. You will be able to farm rewards, including Exotics, from the main encounters as much as you like. Secret chests will still remain on a weekly limit. Here are the five featured raids:

    • Leviathan
    • Eater of Worlds
    • Spire of Stars
    • Crown of Sorrow
    • Scourge of the Past

    There will also be some cosmetic items available for completing the five featured raids.

    • Leviathan Triumph completion offers the Contender's Ghost Shell and shaders
    • Eater Triumph completion offers shaders
    • Spire Triumph completion offers the Luxurious Toast emote and shaders
    • Crown Triumph completion offers shaders
    • Scourge Triumph completion offers shaders

    Completing all 5 of the featured raids grants players a special emblem along with the ability to purchase a special raid ring through Bungie Rewards.

    A Solid Foundation

    We hope you are already enjoying the day's festivities. As you celebrate with your friends and clanmates, we hope you are inspired by the gift that gaming gives us all – an opportunity to strengthen our relationships and immerse ourselves in stories and adventures that are bigger than ourselves. We are grateful to extend the power of gaming and entertainment to kids, who at this very minute, are in the hospital for any number of reasons that are stressful and scary, particularly in the midst of a global pandemic that requires kids to be isolated from their family and friends.

    Help us bring the power of gaming, communication, and connection to thousands of young patients who need a little extra hope and laughter these days.

    This year, we have two unique options to help you connect in whatever way resonates with you!

    So, again, happy Bungie Day.

    Today is about you – all of you.

    We create worlds that inspire friendship. When you come together in those worlds (and the real world) to do amazing things, you honor all of our hard work. In that way, you could say that every day is Bungie Day, but the seventh day of the seventh month is a nice time to make it official.

    We appreciate you. Thank you for playing our games. Be excellent to each other.

    Mercury's Skybox right now is Picture-perfect

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 12:39 PM PDT

    Celestial Nighthawk's Golden Gun should totally pierce Barrier Champion Barriers

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 08:53 AM PDT

    No real reason - I just think it would look fuckin' sick. That and well, aren't Supers supposed to be Super?

    Hell, more Guardian Supers in general (imagine seeing a Titan Thundercrash through and shattering a Barrier) should be able to pierce/nullify Champion abilities anyway - they're supposed to be that "ace in the hole" type of things, no?

    Like even from a lore perspective - you're telling me a Golden Gun or Thundercrash or Nova Bomb can't break a Champion Barrier but some arbitrary mod I slap onto a random gun can? That doesn't seem right lorewise or gameplay wise. It's like having a Level 3 Super in a fighting game that does less than your standard Heavy Kick or Punch.

    Imagine playing Doom and the BFG can't kill an imp.

    And if not - existing Exotic Armors that augment Guardian Supers should have some baked in utility/upgrade mechanics that affect Champions. Hell, Exotic Armors should have some (eg : any) added functionality towards Champions with how prevalent they are in meaningful Endgame content.

    Just a few examples off the top of my head :

    • Saint-14's Helm's Bubble should disrupt any Champions' abilities that wade in and out of the Bubble. Or hell, entering the Bubble gives allies all 3 Champion Ammo-types for X amount of seconds.
    • Skull of Dire Ahamkara's Nova Bombs could also nullify Champion abilities, maybe even a suppress effect that only works on Champions to boot.
    • Liar's Handshake could have extra damage to Champions with their Counter. Maybe a full on Barrier break with melee if the Guardian is at super low health values/about to bite it.
    • Wings of Sacred Dawn could give Warlocks Anti-Champion rounds as long as the Warlock isn't touching the ground or some shit.

    I just feel we've hit a creative wall. If Bungie is dead set on 3 seasons in a row without being able to directly apply the Champion related mods to Exotic Weapons or still for whatever reason not allowing us to use Seasonal Mods on Exotic Armor the game is going to get stale. Hell, it has gotten stale.

    tl;dr - Supers should feel super.

    This is how you do world based story telling.

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 02:36 PM PDT

    Pyramid ships closing in and visible on numerous planets.

    Smaller ships seen flying around in the skybox.

    Marionettes spawning constantly giving a real presence of the enemy.

    A simple but effective quest "preparing" all the planets for the inevitable.

    When I logged on today, for the first time, I truly felt like destiny was that "single evolving world" Bungie is aiming for, and it was a really good feeling.

    I hope they continue with this and especially expand on it further, would love to see what else they can do.

    If you don’t have the Luxurious Toast emote from spire of stars, go do Spire now. The Triumph in MMXX seal will give you Luxurious Toast upon completing Spire.

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 10:23 AM PDT

    Title. Does not have to be on Prestige mode. Normal works.

    Edit: No raid triumphs are retroactive

    Edit 2:No going away raid triumphs are retroactive

    Edit 3: DM me if you're on PC and don't know spire. I can bring you through

    Edit 4: I have received too many requests for Spire help. I am stopping help for now until I can sort out who is in which run. I will make another edit when you can start DMing me again.

    Edit 5: I have 3 more open slots for my 2nd spire help run. First 3 to DM me get's the slot. I will make a edit once spots have been filled.

    Edit 6: All spots for 2nd run have been filled. Do not DM me until I figure out if i want to make a 3rd help run.

    Bungie I hope to God you trick the world's first raiders for Savathun with a Mission Complete but pull a 2nd phase out of no where.

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 05:30 AM PDT

    Similar in style to that one Taken King story mission where you go get a shard from Crota's Crystal in the moon. The mission seems to end with a "mission complete" but is an ambush by Oryx's Taken and you are forced to flee. This would be legendary to see the reactions from Day 1 raiders.

    Prophecy dungeon loot should be the standard for future endgame activities

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 08:18 AM PDT

    As the way raids are right now, players can do it once on each character class, get whatever loot they get from the encounters, and wait until the weekly reset to get more loot.

    In Prophecy, you can keep rerunning it as many times as you want to get as much loot as you want, with the chests dropping gear that you have already unlocked in your collections.

    Which one would you say is more fun out of the two, loot-wise?

    In raids, you have to hope to get the armor or weapon piece you are grinding for. Then you must hope that it has the stat distribution/weapon roll that you desire. If not, you have to wait an entire week to do the same thing.

    I think that Prophecy's way of having farmable loot should be the precedent for future endgame activities, which includes both raids and dungeons. It would result in increased player engagement with these activities as players will keep rerunning them for the chance of good weapon rolls/armor stats.

    Thank you~~

    Edit: ok the Moments of Triumph trailer just came out and raids have farmable loot now. i am a meme

    (Spoiler) Thank you Bungie for having a lore story come to fruition in the game.

    Head to Mercury, see all those light beams? Those are other lighthouses, including where Vance is. They are literal lighthouses, for the Pyramids.

    https://old.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/fowb2y/spoiler_the_lighthouse_isnt_what_it_seems_and_its/

    I talked about this happening 3 months ago, from the Trials lore book that dropped last season. And man was it cool to land or Mercury and know exactly what was going on. That is fantastic world building.

    TL;DR of my thread (though you should read it), Lighthouses sing when Guardians have their final death, Vance was doing research and it has corrupted him.

    Alright guys we hit the peak, this is the best ghost shell of all time

    Stronghold and Ruinous Effigy work together.

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 05:39 PM PDT

    The Titan exotic gauntlets Stronghold allows you to regain health and shields when getting a perfect block with a sword. Turns out, it works with the Ruinous Effigy orbs as well. Guarding/blocking with the orb counts as a perfect guard every single time, and results in regen of health and shields constantly. Basically, this means you are practically invincible while guarding/blocking, since you are regenerating health any time you take damage. It can even outlast the DOT you get when guarding too long with the orb.

    TLDR: Guarding/blocking with the Ruinous Effigy orb while using Stronghold basically makes you invincible.

    There Is a Pyramid Ship on Mercury So Let's Give a Moment of Silence for Brother Vance

    Brother Vance. Back in Destiny 1, you was a mysterious person who us guardians knew nothing about. All we know back then was that you were a vendor for Trials of Osiris. Every Friday to Sunday we would fly to the Reef and get the trials passage so Guardians of the Light can go flawless and get their loot and the loot was worth the tears and sweat. You came back in Curse of Osiris and at first most of us wanted to know more about you. But, you went from a mysterious person to a fanboy who talks NON STOP about Osiris. Most of us wanted you to shut up and never liked you since. Some of us will miss you and most of us won't, I know I won- I mean what? You had a good run. You will be missed.

    10 Engram Slots aren’t enough anymore.

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 05:30 PM PDT

    After an hour of play today, I had more than 10 engrams that completely filled up my inventory, and more in the post master. With the engrams this season, bright engrams, prime, and legendary ones, it's too much. We need a size expansion. Please bungie? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE more loot, I just don't want to have to have to go to the tower after every hour and interrupt the "gameplay flow"

    Also, this might only be a problem this season due to the specific engram that drops, but, if this is what will be continuing on, then god we need more slots.

    All Season Pass Exotics Should Have Intrinsic Anti Champion Perks

    Posted: 07 Jul 2020 06:57 AM PDT

    Up until the introduction of the Exotic Cypher this season, if you happened to miss getting Eriana's Vow in Season 8, and were unable to get Divinity, you had absolutely no options when it came to anti champion special weapons. And of all the weapons to be introduced with intrinsic Unstoppable rounds, why on Earth did they have to pick the sidearm (not that I don't love Devils Ruin).

    Symmetry could have come with Unstoppable Rounds, or had its catalyst grant Unstoppable while your gun is in Revolution mode. Tommy's could have done the same with Overheat and either Overload or Anti Barrier. The Fourth Horseman could have come with Overload. And my personal favorite, Bastion, would have been awesome with Anti-Barrier.

    If Bungie isn't going to update other exotics to give them anti champion abilities, they at least need to give us at least one guaranteed way each season to get a new one.

    Witherhourd and ruinous effigy truly feel exotic, as compared to some other exotics. The perks make you go "this gun does WHAT" which is just fantastic. Nothing really to say, just thank you. This is a big step in the right direction on your part.
