| Posted: 30 Jul 2020 01:57 PM PDT Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/49405 This week at Bungie, we shared our Prophecy. Challenge. Mystery. The Nine. Deserts, cubes, and… whiteboards? Earlier this week, we did a deep dive on our newest Dungeon, featuring some behind the scenes developer commentary. Did you miss it? Well, let's fix that. Hit the jump for a recap! These are some of our favorite streams to host. We've opened the minds of our designers to bridge the gap between Guardian and developer and get you into their headspace. If you're not in a place where you can watch a stream, we also released a companion blog article. What does it take to build out a dungeon? How do these ideas come about? And most importantly, how many lines did Jon To write to stay occupied when quarantine began? I don't think I've ever put that many questions into a single intro, but it's fun to embrace the chaos, isn't it? IronheadsLord Saladin returns to host the second Iron Banner of the Season. Before we get too deep, if you haven't heard of the Iron Banner, let's give you a quick lesson. First, get your Power up. This activity offers Power-enabled combat in the Crucible, so that means your opponents might have an edge if they're five (or more) Power above you. Second, snag weekly bounties from Lord Saladin in the Tower before jumping in. You can earn some pinnacle power gear when completing their objectives! Third, capture the zones. The more zones you hold, the more points you get whenever you defeat an enemy. Fourth, stick with your teammates. While being a lone wolf can be fun, hunting with the pack can yield the best results. During Saladin's last visit, two Legendary weapons made their return with random rolls in tow. The Fool's Remedy Sidearm and Forward Path Auto Rifle pack a pretty good punch in the Crucible. I've personally gotten around 400 Guardian defeats with my trusty sidearm; maybe you'll find a good roll that fits your playstyle. And if you're searching for some enhanced armor mods, or armor pieces with high stat rolls, now's a great time to jump in for some PvP action. These rewards can drop simply from playing matches, or turning in tokens to Saladin between matches. Iron Banner will be available from 10 AM on August 4 through 10 AM on August 11. Hotfix PreviewNext Tuesday, we'll have a fresh hotfix to address some issues that were introduced in Destiny 2 Update 2.9.1. While Destiny Player Support will have a run-through of patch times below, we have a quick preview of patch notes for you. Nightfall: The Ordeal
Raids
Investment
Armor
We'll have a few more patch notes in the article next week, but this is a short and sweet update to tackle a few minor issues found over the last few weeks. Maintaining CourseI don't think I know many people in the Destiny community who have as much game-related information in their heads as the members of Destiny Player Support. Not only are they keeping track of upcoming fixes and patch timetables, but they're also an encyclopedia of general information. It can range from the location of a random Dreg to the angle at which skip grenades bounce when hitting a wall. This is their report.
Sugar, Spice, and Just a Little Bit of NiceHunting for a movie fitting of receiving the MOTW title can sometimes be a challenge. Every so often, we get crazy footage of raid strategies that end up making mincemeat of cosmic gods. Other weeks, the clear winner is a short film recorded entirely in-game. This week, we've got a little bit of PvP hotness from a crafty Hunter, a fun idea for custom games to evoke some nostalgic feels, and an amazing raid save. Movie of the Week: Knife Test Honorable Mention: House Rules: Rift Honorable Mention: Spire of Saves Honorable Mention: Fight Against Destiny"Fight against destiny!"This took 56 hours please watch it#destiny #SwordArtOnline pic.twitter.com/U2dbOvFxm6— Zev ✡ (@zevcandraw) July 23, 2020 Want to take a swing at the title? Well, it's not a title, but a cool emblem. Either way, submit your video to the Creations page on Bungie.net. Make sure your Bungie.net profile is present in the description of your video, or delivery of your emblem may be delayed. While Moments of Triumph is in full swing, we still have some summer fun on the way. Solstice of Heroes begins in under two weeks! Hard to believe that it'll be August in less than two days. Next week, we have Iron Banner to play on Tuesday, and some Solstice details to dive through in the Thursday TWAB. Now it's time to get started on my solo flawless Prophecy completion. Cozmo will give you an update next week on whether I succeeded, or failed in spectacular fashion. Until then, we'll see you starside. Much love, -dmg04 [link] [comments] |

| My buddy and I own a brewery and today we are releasing our first Destiny themed beer! Posted: 30 Jul 2020 09:53 AM PDT https://www.instagram.com/p/CDRf9cupDKX/?igshid=1enigzdp1dh9t Two D1 beta players that love the game still and start a brewery and get to name beers whatever they want! We are putting out a new beer next week named "A Drifter's Gambit". Open to raiding and talking about beer! Edit : Thanks for all the support guys. Anyone that is local or close to the brewery I look forward to meeting you all soon. That said we can't really ship anything because we have a very limited amount of cans available. Much love Guardians. [link] [comments] |
| Open Letter to the Designer of the Solo Flawless Prophecy Emblem Posted: 30 Jul 2020 11:31 AM PDT You caused me countless nights of frustration and cursing into a dark room lit only by my monitor. How dare you design such a beautiful emblem that makes me exert more energy into this game than I thought I ever would. I love you so much please keep up the good work. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Jul 2020 11:50 PM PDT Edit: To address Warlocks experiencing similar woes... At least Warlocks can accept their fate as soon as you try to jump. Hunters have to wait until the last moment to attempt the final jump activation. It feels as if my gut drops into a pit, just like my Hunter! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Jul 2020 08:26 AM PDT ⁹When loading into a 1020 Nightfall just now, I looked at the bottom left of my screen just to check on my ammo. Above that I happened to see 'A champion has appeared!', from the occasionally spawning Blade or Shield Taken Disruptors miniboss events, behind me in The Rig patrol area. I thought nothing of it at the time. Then I went through the strike, clearing all champions as per usual. I got gold rewards at the end. This must be the 5th or 6th time this has happened this week so far, and I am absolutely certain I have missed no champions any time I have received gold rewards. So I've been trying to work out why this is the case. All the champion spawns that I have counted as part of the savathun's song 1020 NF strike are: 1 Barrier Knight in the Solarium opening area. 1 Barrier Knight + 1 Unstoppable Ogre in the doors section just after breaking the hive door seals. 1 Barrier Knight at the first crystal breaking room. 1 Barrier Knight in the Large Open room, where 2 large ogres spawn. 2 Barrier Knights just before where you pick up the Void Orb. 1 Barrier Knignt just after where you pick up the Void orb. 2 Unstoppable Ogres as you carry the orb to near where the pair of immune shriekers are. 1 Barrier Knight after the 2nd window of damage to the boss, in the right side of the final area. 1 Unstoppable Ogre after the 4th window of damage to the boss, in the left side of the final area. I think that's all the champions which spawn, and I absolutely killed all of them. So what champion could I have possibly missed? Well it seems like this champion spawn, which isn't even part of the strike is messing things up. To only now realise that in order to get Platinum rewards I have to go back and beat a couple of minibosses in the middle of the strike...that, in my opinion, is not right. That is not how this strike system should work. These additional champions should not be counted, this is daft Bungie. Please consider changing something so that we do not have to backtrack through The Rig on Titan in order to get the rewards we deserve to receive. [link] [comments] |
| Bungie Pls, The next time you reveal more Stasis stuff, be sure to get David Samuel to explain it. Posted: 30 Jul 2020 12:33 PM PDT Only David truly understands how supers work and sound. We need his input to fully grasp the intricacies and amazingness that will be Stasis. [link] [comments] |
| Bungie ima give you this one for free Posted: 30 Jul 2020 09:35 PM PDT |
| No. Coldheart won’t and should not be stasis in beyond light. Posted: 29 Jul 2020 11:30 PM PDT The cold heart refers to the guns cooling system as the beam is extremely hot. And no it shouldn't be solar, arc is also very hot. Please stop making posts about it now. [link] [comments] |
| Just finished "The Complete Story of Destiny" on YouTube Posted: 30 Jul 2020 10:12 AM PDT I now know the entire beginnings of Destiny. For a couple of days, at least. It was very interesting, and took me over three days to finish. Great job with the video, My name is Byf! [link] [comments] |
| If I'm going to backfill a Gambit match, at least give me some progress for it. Posted: 30 Jul 2020 09:51 AM PDT Doesn't count for weekly matches, doesn't count for weekly bounties. If I'm going to get tossed into a probable stomp, why should I even stay? I get literally nothing for it. [link] [comments] |

| Hand cannons need a buff (console) Posted: 30 Jul 2020 11:03 AM PDT This really frustrates me as hand cannons are my favorite weapon type but seriously, why would I ever use a hand cannon when I could use an auto rifle. The ttk is nearly the same except autos are 10x easier to use. With a hand cannon one missed shot equals death but with autos you can miss a few and be good. Also hand cannons have terrible range [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Jul 2020 10:16 AM PDT A few times during my weekly raid LFG's, I'd heard queenbreaker was a good boss DPS option on the level of other big bois like xeno and whisper since the linear fusion buff back in dawn. I ignored them at first because I just considered it a PvP weapon, as none of it's perks really did anything for PvE and because of that period where the aim assist was accidentally DOUBLED. The only time I had ever tried it was on a teaching LFG for GoS where someone with line in the sand convinced four goobers with less damage than the divinity guy to use it. Yeah it was a FOUR PHASE, so I wasn't too keen on testing this. (Though I don't think this is due to queenbreaker, it was almost a three phase, there were almost no relay defender mods across the team and my teammates just kinda sucked...) But I love the fallen guns, so I went to the tribute hall and got to testing: All these numbers were used with no buffs or debuffs and I used double reserve and reload mods. I'm comparing queenbreaker to whisper, as whisper with catalyst has the highest ranged damage numbers. I used marksman sights for my calculations, combat sights are ass. Before I start, this is my first time doing my own math for damage, I usually rely on guys like Datto and Ehroar. I tested on the ogre in the tribute hall and used damage per shot times magizine size divided by rough time to shoot off a mag and reload for DPS. If there are any problems with my numbers, let me know. Total damage:Whisper hits 23,847 per crit. Queenbreaker hits 24,510, so queenbreaker has slightly better damage. Whisper can hold a max of 23 shots, resulting in a total damage output of 548,481. Queenbreaker can hold a max of 21 shots, resulting in a max of 514,710. So while very close to each other, qb has more damage per shot and whisper has more total damage due to the slightly higher reserves. So while it's close, whisper is a little better. DPSWhisper's magazine of three multiplied by it's damage of 23,847 divided by the about 3 seconds (I got rough numbers for time to shoot and reload, but it's not close enough to matter for what I test. Just know these numbers aren't exact) seconds it takes to fire all shots, as it auto reloads when you hit all crits works out to 23,847 DPS. Queenbreaker's magazine of 5 times it's damage of 24,510 divided by 7 is 17507 DPS. Yikes. That's pretty rough. How is it any good?The thing about those numbers is they were SIMULATED. People with whisper catalyst should be doing slightly more damage than a titan with war rig and xeno on the sanctified mind, but every week I run it, the hunters using nighthawk and a masterworked whisper always have less damage than my xeno. Why? Because xeno is easy to use. It's full auto and you don't need to hit crits for good damage, where with whisper. Just like xeno, queenbreaker makes it super easy to land shots: The charge time, scope, aim assist and meter showing exactly when you'll fire makes it super easy to land crit after crit, while whisper makes you fire three shots as fast as you can in order to prevent a reload. But you're only human: what happens if you miss with either weapon? With queenbreaker, you just lose a shot. Whisper? You need to reload and re-proc whispered breathing, which KILLS your DPS. Take whisper's magazine of three multiplied by it's damage of 23,847, but this time divide it by 6.5 seconds instead of the usual three to account for reloading and re-procing whispered breathing. (BTW, you may be thinking "I won't miss every time, so you can't divide by 6.5 for the entire damage phase!" While this is partially true, if you mess up with whisper, the damage phase is often over before you can noticeably recover anyway.) This gives us a DPS of 11,006, which is way less than queenbreaker's consistent 16,340. So if you miss a shot, your DPS with whisper plummets. But even if you hit all your shots with whisper, there are still problems with it that you don't see with queenbreaker: Practical usage in the endgame:Let's take a look at raids, dungeons and other pieces of endgame content where you need to use a precision weapon and would experience issue with whisper and queenbreaker might be the better pick: Leviathan, Calus: when moving from plate to plate, you have to re-proc whispered breathing each time, making you lose out on two seconds of damage with whisper. This makes the DPS formula 3x23,847/5, which gives 14,308 DPS. This is unavoidably less than queenbreaker, and this is the best possible damage if you don't one-plate. This number assumes you miss no shots, which can be hard on Calus, as he wiggles around and doubles over during damage, not to mention the boop attack. You can honestly use either TBH, Calus is a joke with either, especially on normal. Scourge of the past, Insurrection Prime: While CAP is active, you'll need to move to a spot, proc whispered breathing, and move again and re-proc it unless you get lucky, losing out on four seconds of potential damage. This also assumes you don't get screwed over when he suddenly jerks upwards, or the phase changes before you can fire off two shots to reload, causing you to either shoot off two more shots with reduced damage and tether your teammates, or force yourself to reload and kill your own damage. Needless to say, results may very with whisper on insurrection prime, and I'd reccomend queenbreaker. Crown of Sorrow: Big Galhran: On big galhran, whisper is a popular choice because of his bit crit and swords being difficult. (Acrius is very good on him if your entire team has the catalyst though) However, during the hand phases, you need to scope out of whisper to shoot them, making you re-proc whispered breathing to contiue effective damage. There are three hand phases, making you lose out on 6 whole seconds of damage, and this doesn't include swapping to whisper from your primary/special you used to shoot the hands, probably making it 7 and being flinched by thrall. Queenbreaker not only lets you shoot during those six seconds, but also has quickdraw to let you have very little downtime swapping between weapons for damage and hands. I highly recommend using queenbreaker over whisper for big Galhran. Garden of Salvation: The consecrated mind Most of your consecrated mind damage happens at the beginning, right after you pop his eyes, as he's easiest to hit him and you can stand next to the relay for a massive relay defender buff. With queenbreaker, you can use quickraw to quickly pull it out ( ͡° ͜Ê– ͡°) and get to damage before moving forward to prevent being trapped. With whisper, you need to lose two seconds on damage as well as relay defender, and you risk missing shots as the boss quickly moves away and you need to move forward so you don't get cut off. Again, use queenbreaker over whisper! Garden of Salvation: the sanctified mind Best case scenario with whisper: you're not on tether team and are able to damage the boss as soon as damage starts by being scoped in while tether team starts damage. You hit every shot and have good damage. This is possible, but it's extremely unlikely to hit the boss while he's on the ground, and tether team has to proc whispered breathing anyway. Because the damage window is so short, missing one shot with whisper basically means you won't be able to use it again, where queenbreaker lets you line up the shot while it's charging, and you can shoot without the risk of your DPS tanking. Queenbreaker is a much safer option than whisper, which is very much a risky make-or-break. (That was an awful pun) REMEMBER FOR ALL OF THESE: NEEDING TO PROC OR RE-PROC WHISPERED BREATHING MEANS QUEENBREAKER WOULD HAVE HIGHER DPS! Hey, what about D.A.R.C.I.?I wanted to quickly mention another similar weapon, the darci, as it fits into the "Long range crit basedweapon for boss damage" group. Is it better than queenbreaker at anything? Let's see: it does 12,968 damage per shot times 28 shots with reserves for 363104 total damage. Yeesh. For context, queenbreaker was 514,710 and whisper was even higher. 12,968 damage per shot times a magizine of seven divided by 6 seconds to shoot all shots and reload gives us 15129 DPS, and because of the awful reload/needing to re-ADS to get the perk, the pitiful total damage and this gun being very hard to control... (Landing seven crits at max ROF with Darci is next to impossible) your results will most likely be worse than this. So no, D.A.R.C.I. is not meta. So is queenbreaker the best option for damage?Well... no. Obviously use swords like dark drinker 2.0 wherever you can, but for the bosses where I discussed queenbreaker vs whisper there are other options. Actium war rig with xenophage are incredible, and I'd use them over queenbreaker on a titan any day of the week. One thousand voices, line in the sand/whitherhoard, anarchy and distant tumulis... Queenbreaker and whisper are by no means the only two options. But, queenbreaker is definitely a valid choice that I recommend you try. [link] [comments] |
| Tower thought: the human guards at the tower must wonder all the time what thier purpose is. Posted: 30 Jul 2020 04:49 PM PDT So they are there to guard.. guardians? The ones constantly dancing and jumping to our deaths in front of them. [link] [comments] |
| Dawnblade Attunement of Flame rework concept Posted: 30 Jul 2020 08:41 AM PDT Since the super's nerf and rework of top tree Dawnblade, Attunement of Flame didn't really see much love from either players nor developers. My thinking process for this rework idea was that if top tree is PvP focused, and center tree PvE focused, bottom tree could be a flexible attunement for both PvP and PvE while still retaining its Super-Focused build Igniting touch -> Igniting slash: Hold your melee key to swing your sword and send forth a mid-range weak Daybreak slash (15% less damage than a normal melee, explodes on contact and burns targets) Fated for the flame: Daybreak projectiles seek targets as they travel and, upon impact, launch a streak of deadly flames (Now would affect Igniting slash Dawnblade projectiles too. Could also grant Shield Piercing to both the super and melee ability) Everlasting fire: Hitting an enemy with Daybreak or Igniting slash grants a small amount of super energy (The amount of super gained would be a little smaller, but now would require hits instead of kills and enable for a small super engine of sorts. It would also extend the super's duration against bosses/resilient guardians) Phoenix Dive: Quickly descend from mid-air and regenerate health. Damage is instead absorbed as super and ability energy. When used while in Daybreak it creates an explosion on impact and grants diminishing returns of super energy back. (Regeneration is no longer stopped when taking damage. Animation time would be sped up so it's more responsive to input) I'd like to hear your thoughts and reasoning to better come up with the ideal rework for Attunement of Flame in the way that has its own role [link] [comments] |
| Bungo pls give Warlocks some short tunics Posted: 30 Jul 2020 09:54 AM PDT I know throwing random demands out is next to pointless, but I would love to see Warlocks get some smaller tunics. We have dresses, robes, armored raiments, so on, but no tunics. The closest thing we really have is the Wings of Sacred Dawn exotic and even then it's of course an exotic and a niche one at that. Back in Destiny 1 we spawned off with the most gorgeous little tunic when we first started and we've never gotten anything akin to that since. A lot of people want armor as well, so if we get one, it would be amazing to get the other too. [link] [comments] |
| Custom painted Destiny high tops by my very talented mum Posted: 30 Jul 2020 02:22 PM PDT Custom painted Destiny high tops by my talented mum https://imgur.com/gallery/Ggnp8PA Both myself and my mum have made these shoes. I told her how I wanted them designed, and she did the artwork across them. I did the handwriting myself, however, it is her amazing painting that makes these shoes fantastic! Hope you guys like!
