    This week at Bungie, we drew a thin line between light and dark.

    Video Link

    Today, we had some exciting news to share on the Xbox Games Showcase. Bungie and Xbox announced that they are joining forces to bring Destiny 2 to Xbox Game Pass this fall.

    With an active Xbox Game Pass subscription, players will have access to the standard edition (seasonal content sold separately) of each expansion beginning with Forsaken and Shadowkeep (available September 2020) and Beyond Light (available beginning on November 10, 2020).

    Later this year we will be releasing a version of Destiny 2 that will be optimized for Xbox Series X, including 4K resolution and running at 60 frames per second. Players who already own Destiny 2 on Xbox One will be able to transfer their game to Xbox Series X for free via Smart Delivery.

    In addition, for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, Destiny 2 can also be streamed to your Android mobile devices via xCloud.

    Would you like to know more? We answered some of the questions you might have here.


    Dive Deep

    Most of our fresh content doesn't end up on our streaming channels, so it's time we got back to our old antics. Next week, your Host will be the freshest face on the Community team: Nicole! She joins us in today's TWAB to discuss details on the Developer Deep Dive into the Destiny dungeon:

    Nicole: Howdy, Guardians! I hope you're all safe, healthy, and finding some fun out there. Thanks for keeping us company (not to mention each other) during these very unique days. I've felt so welcomed since stepping into the community from the Bungie side, and I'm excited to continue to explore ways to engage with and entertain you.

    During our recent participation in the St. Jude Fundraiser marathon with our friends who drive the @GCXEvent, we discovered some new ways to recreate the streaming experience from our homes—which means developer commentary is coming soon to a screen near you!

    You are cordially invited to dive into the Prophecy dungeon with some of the devs who created the experience.

    Developer Deep Dive : Prophecy Dungeon

    www.twitch.tv/bungie

    Tuesday, July 28 – 10AM Pacific

    Come and watch us play our own game and tell you stories from its creation on the development floor. Learn more about our inspirations and motivations as we share snapshots from when it was just a work in progress. Join us in chat for the conversation!

    We welcome you behind the curtain for a bit of fun, reminiscing, and insight into the life of game development.

    I can't wait to talk to you all again soon, but for now, see you then!

    (Oh, and yes, we'll archive it later, for those of you who can't make it.)


    Dam Beavers

    We would never harm our large-toothed, pond-dwelling friends, but we are on a mission to reduce the error codes that share their name. Late last week, we had some success in bringing the number of Beaver errors back down to similar levels reported in past Seasons. Here is the Destiny Dev Team with some more info on our progress.

    Destiny Dev Team: This past week Valve identified hardware configuration issues with 4 relays in their Chicago, Virginia, Stockholm, and Dubai data centers. In each case, the affected relay was unable to send traffic to one other relay in the same data center. If a connection to a peer went through both of those relays, then it would drop. Valve has fixed the configuration issues, and we have confirmed that the rate of disconnections in the affected areas has been reduced significantly.

    These changes have reduced Beaver error codes significantly with players in the central and eastern United States of America being impacted the most. Beaver error codes are an indication of connectivity failure and can be caused by a wide range of issues. Some Beaver error codes are caused by local internet connectivity issues. If you still experiencing a lot of Beaver errors please use follow our Network Troubleshooting Guide and then report any further issues on our Help forum.

    Destiny, the Official Cookbook released this week. It contains all kinds of Destiny inspired culinary concoctions waiting for you to whip up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Maybe even second breakfast if you are as hungry as the Drifter usually is. Yum yum yum yum yum.

    Earlier this week, we gave you a behind the scenes look at how the cook book came to be. We partnered with Victoria Rosenthal to author this collection of recipes. She showed off her culinary and photography skills, dove deep into Destiny lore, and helped bring this fun cooking guide to life.

    The Destiny Official Cookbook is on the Bungie Store right now if you want to add it your library.

    DAM RESTORED

    Our Player Support Team is tracking all of the known issues.

    This is their report.

    SEPTENARY ENCRYPTION EMBLEM

    Last week, players were able to redeem their Bungie Day Septenary Encryption emblem in their Bungie.net Account's Code Redemption History. An issue arose when players discovered that they had the option to choose a platform to redeem the emblem on. This wasn't intentional and we have confirmed that the platform chosen doesn't matter when players go to retrieve the emblem in-game.

    Once players have redeemed their emblem, they should restart Destiny 2 and visit their Collections>Flair>General section to acquire the emblem.

    KNOWN ISSUES

    While we continue investigating various known issues, here is a list of the latest issues that were reported to us in our #Help Forum:

    • Players can't see their responses in chat on PC anymore.
    • Duress and Egress lore may disappear if the Triumphs aren't claimed.
    • The South Paw controller scheme doesn't allow Sparrows to boost.
    • The High-Energy Fire Dawn Mod doesn't allow Consumed with Light to stack twice when the Stacks on Stacks Dawn Mod is equipped.

    For a full list of emergent issues in Destiny 2, players can review our Known Issues article. Players who observe other issues should report them to our #Help forum.


    In a World

    Image Linkimgur

    It's been a minute since I've been in a movie theater, but with how many amazing Destiny movies are being made by the community, I don't really care. This is where we get to stay in our PJs, burn our own popcorn, and pick our favorites to share with you! Let's take a look at who caught our eye this week.

    Movie of the Week: Killstreaks

    Video Link

    Honorable Mention: Gotta Catch Them All

    Video Link

    If one of these videos belongs to you, congrats! Now make sure you have your Bungie.net profile in the description of said video so we can send out your prized emblem.


    That's not the end of this week – we still have a Friday to survive - but this is how we bring "This Week At Bungie" to a close. While the journey to Beyond Light has been extended, we're one week closer. That leaves a lot of time to talk about how the next expansion will change the game, as well as what you'll want to accomplish between now and November.

    I'm out next week, so be nice to Dmg while I'm gone.

    Stasis subclasses aren't just Darkness Subclasses just as Solar, Arc, and Void aren't just Light Subclasses.

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 04:30 PM PDT

    I've seen a lot of confusion and dissapointment that our supposed Darkness subclass is very crystal and ice themed. And I think this just stems from a lack of understanding of what exactly Elements in Destiny are and how we use Light and Darkness to harness them. Simply put, our Solar, Arc, and Void subclasses are us using the Light to channel an Element. Those abilities aren't just Light, they are Light channeled into an Element. The same goes for Stasis: we aren't just using the Darkness, we are using the Darkness to channel the Element Stasis. An Element which will appear on non-Darkness imbued weapons.

    Stasis is an Element, not the Darkness itself. The Darkness is a tool to use Stasis, and maybe even other Elements in the future. Thank you for listening to my ramble. Link this to someone as an explanation, if they need one.

    Hey Bungie, it took you 3 months to fix spectral blades hit detection when it was bad, its been 3 years and Sentinel still can't hit people right in front of them.

    With the split reaction the Halo Infinite reveal can we appreciate the fact that Destiny 2 has always looked FANTASTIC

    Seriously the artist and designers at bungie have always delivered next gen fidelity, amazing looking fights and cutscenes, and beautiful vistas. I know this game has had ups and downs but Bungie really knows how to nail an art style and I appreciate that.

    How about we have “Faction Wars” but with Gun companies like Suros, Tex Mechanica, Veist, and Omolon?

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 07:37 AM PDT

    Why not a little activity to use other guns and unlock cool things like special emblems, armor ornaments (like the one Eververse set) even weapon ornaments for Crucible, Strikes, and Gambit. Maybe you could pick up bounties (yeah I know I know, boooo bounties suck) and you gotta get 100 kills in crucible with (insert Company weapon) to unlock a crucible ornament for the gun. 250 kills and 3 boss kills for a Strike Ornament and (this is a very unpopular idea) 250 kills and 3 primevals defeated for a Gambit Ornament (maybe go as far as to say "Kill 3 Guardian to get an Invader styled Ornament" or "Deposit 75 Motes for a Collector styled Ornament" etc)

    For armor, you just gotta get kills with your abilities, grenades or supers (maybe even assists for Bubble Titans and Well Warlocks for the mad lads that play support)

    This doesn't even have to be a competition, this could just be a fun activity to do while you play Crucible, Strikes or Gambit and you can do it on the side.

    (Just in case someone asks, Tex Mechanica DOES have legendary weapons. They're weapons you can receive from Gambit like Trust, Hazard of the Cast, Dreaded Venture etc)

    It's nice of Bungie to give us a free preview of what it will be like to get hit with one of those new freezing grenades every time we try to respawn in Gambit.

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 02:08 PM PDT

    That will help to hold us over until November.

    I wonder if we are getting any other glimpses into the future.

    If the new raid boss turns out to be a beaver, boy will we all be embarrassed.

    They are just trying to prepare us, people!

    New Beyond Light Stasis Gifs

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 11:55 AM PDT

    Similar to my ancient post of the Destiny 2 supers I wanted to create a bunch of gifs of the new Stasis Supers and Abilities that were revealed in the gameplay trailer today.

    Stasis Supers

    Stasis Abilities

    New Weapons

    Enemies

    Will update this post with more gifs if/when there are more to share.

    edit: Updated with additional gifs from the first trailer. Also removed class names from the titles for grenade gifs.

    [PVP] If the passive game of four titan subclasses are going to remain dependant on powered melee's (not shoulder charge), melee hit reg needs a massive overhaul

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 08:44 PM PDT

    Top and middle tree void, bottom tree striker and bottom tree hammers all rely on a powered melee kill to activate subclass abilities in pvp. This puts these subclasses at a huge disadvantage to way of the wraith, which rewards passive play with three seconds of wall hacks and extended invisibility, or bottom tree golden gun which rewards a faster super.

    While the OHK range of shotguns has crept further and further since being reigned in some time around BA, these classes have remained unchanged while it has grown more and more difficult to successfully or even somewhat consistently get off two back to back melee's.

    That brings us to the biggest problem; ghosted melee's and enhanced mobility. Hunter dodge breaks aim assist lockon, which is fair enough, its an ability on timer. The real problem is with hunter jumps. When a hunter jumps as you take a swing at them, your swing will ghost, yet they can still melee you from the apex of their jump. This is without going in to detail about how both roaming void supers for titan are still completely and truly broken.

    Bungie pls fix the constant fucking goofed melees that result from hunter jumps.

    One last unpopular opinion for a titan, shoulder charge abilities should never have become a OHK

    [SATIRE] That trailer had one SUPER promising thing about the future of grenades.

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 01:46 PM PDT

    And it's all about the trolling usage for 'em. Blueberry pissing you off in a strike? Run ahead and lob one of those nades at an edge he has to jump across and they'll drop like a sack of rocks. That'll teach 'em R E A L good.

    For those worried about Stasis and its impact on the PvP sandbox, I think we don’t need to worry too much.

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 04:02 PM PDT

    First off, I do see the potential problems with Stasis - freezing enemies, creating new angles with the ice platform, etc.

    However, we need to take in the fact that Bungie tends to paint weapons and abilities in a FAR greater light then they really are in trailers. In the Last Word's release trailer, the player shot a heavy grenade launcher projectile out of the air...hip-firing. Could it be as game changing as we think? 100%. But I think that's very unlikely.

    Can we have Arcstrider’s in air attack from the Beta again? Don’t understand why it was removed.

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 03:27 AM PDT

    For anyone that doesn't know back in the beta after using the in air attack currently in the game you could combo into an attack where your Hunter would spin the staff above their head.

    Bungie - could you make some sort of tutorial for new lights on making public events heroic?

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 09:56 AM PDT

    It would be appreciated, every time i join a public event it seems most people around me are hell bent on taking down the enemy/enemies long before i have a chance to make it heroic by myself... if there's another OG with me it's normally not as bad but with a group of people swording the boss to death / fighting against the clock to make it heroic and watching the boss' health bar drop quickly, it kinda puts a sinking feeling in me like i'm wasting my time.

    I know public events aren't endgame content or anything but it would be nice

    It's just weirdly funny to me. Warlocks get a Staff of raw cold, Hunters get twin Sickles that freeze the enemy where they are, and Titans just get to punch more people really hard. That's it. That's all the work that needed to go into that super and I fucking love it.
