With the Outbreak Perfected mission getting vaulted can we finally start working on repairing the original tower? It makes no sense for it to still be on fire three years later Posted: 30 Aug 2020 09:24 AM PDT Title. submitted by /u/DefinitelyNotThatJoe [link] [comments]

I think Destiny needs a "toilet" app. Posted: 30 Aug 2020 03:14 PM PDT When I'm doing the biz, I want to play Destiny. How about a side-scroller that earns me glimmer and every few levels, some bright dust? Maybe possibly unique gear and shaders you can only get from the app? Let me turn 10 regular minutes into a productive 40 minutes. So what if I lose blood supply to my legs? Glimmer is life. submitted by /u/blue_13 [link] [comments]

If Umbral Engrams are here to stay, then we'll need way more than just 10 engram slots on our characters. Posted: 30 Aug 2020 12:18 PM PDT Seriously. They drop like candy and end up drowning all other engrams out. With every tower visit I make, there's another 10+ engrams waiting for me at the postmaster. We'll either need more slots, of at least have some sort of dedicated "prime/exotic" engram slots. EDIT: "They will be gone when the season ends", but Bungie will probably reuse the system since it was well-received. It they do, then our engram capacity needs to change. submitted by /u/Elevasce [link] [comments]

Momentum Control is only getting reoved because it is so easy to grind Ritual/Pinnacle weapons. Posted: 30 Aug 2020 12:09 PM PDT Title, change my mind. I stopped playing after I unlocked Sagira's shell in CoO and picked the game back up in Opulence. I had no experience with pinnacle/ritual weapons, yet since Momentum Control has been introduced the only crucible related weapons I am missing are Luna/NF and Redrix's stuff. Bungie is removing momentum control because they are going to be reintroducing powerful weapons like these and don't want the player-base to grind them incredibly fast due to a mode where it is very easy to get weapon kills. submitted by /u/Mvrcos6 [link] [comments]

Simply replacing Scorch pvp with Swords would make a world of difference in rotator pvp Posted: 30 Aug 2020 08:14 AM PDT I was thinking of what other weapons do we pick up that Bungie can easily have all guardians spawn with so we can go back to the days of Halo with "X only" weapon matches. They have scorched but it's just not fun Now Swords on the other hand would be fun. We are on what? Going into Year 4 with no Rift, the game modes they have added have been boring, please swap out scorch cannons for swords please? Thank you submitted by /u/Gh0stOfNY [link] [comments]

Weasled, then placed in a queue because D2 is temporarily at capacity? Posted: 30 Aug 2020 03:05 AM PDT I have never seen this before, especially at off-hours for D2. I just got Weasel error coded, sent to the title screen, then when I loaded back in, I got a message saying "Destiny 2 is temporarily at capacity". What gives? Now it says "Destiny 2 servers are not available." Region: US-West Other posters are attributing the issues due to Cloudflare servers being impacted, seen here: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ This likely explains why other websites and game servers that rely on Cloudflare are down right now as well. submitted by /u/wrightosaur [link] [comments]

Remember when Oathkeeper got one of its perk removed because it wasn’t working as intended ? Posted: 30 Aug 2020 05:24 PM PDT When Oathkeeper got released with Forsaken the exotic perk stated that you could hold any bow indefinitely but also get a reduced charge rate. Since the 2nd perk wasn't working at all, bungie decided to remove it and just left the exotic with the infinite hold perk, which to be honest is not appealing enough to bother give up an exotic armor slot.. We could get this perk either as an intrinsic perk on different archetype for instance or just rework the exotic piece to give it a purpose, but frankly giving up an exotic slot just to be able to hold indefinitely a bow seems kind of absurd. It doesn't sit right with me to do so when I can just uncharge the bow and charge it back quickly. Plus, how many time do you find yourself using a bow and thinking "Oh man I wish I could hold this bow indefinitely!" ? submitted by /u/Aymard_asd [link] [comments]

I just finished Forsaken Prince, Ghost Stories and Awoken of the Reef lore books. The collectibles made me realize how beautiful the worlds are and how severely underused they are Posted: 30 Aug 2020 09:19 AM PDT As you know the Chronicler title will be unobtainable (at least if you did not finish certain books like the ones in the title) after Beyond Light and because nothing is happening in the game, I decided to work on the title. There are collectibles all over the place in almost every planet, and I can say that every single corner of every planet is beautifully made. My main amazement are the lost sectors. Severely underutilized except for the collectibles. Do you know that a lot lost sectors have side areas/part branching out just for the collectibles? I don't know if Bungie added these later on with the collections but I wish in the future Bungie plans to use Lost Sectors more. Forsaken and Season of Worthy was step in the right directions but I think special loot dedicated to these lost sectors would do better. But yeah, Bungie, please, use your worlds as much as possible. Especially now that we entered an era where we will switch out planets every now and then. Do you guys remember the area for the Wish Ender mission in Tangled Shore? Yeah, almost as big as several lost sectors but its just used for 10 minute quest. I don't care if it gets repetitive, most things are repetitive anyways. Either way I would rather go to the corner of Nessus, jump on a platform to enter a vex cave Bungie made at some point, and activate a node in that cave for a quest that I would never see or visit otherwise rather than getting 1000 void kills for the quest. Please, use your worlds as much as possible. Please, never make your areas left out like Arcology. One of, if not the best looking area but its just used for couple campaign missions and a strike. Your worlds are beautiful, use them as much as possible. submitted by /u/taklamaka11 [link] [comments]

Isn't Spectral Blades a bit backwards? Posted: 30 Aug 2020 08:07 PM PDT A roaming super with invisibilty and the highest damage resistance of all supers? I mean it can even tank a body shot Honed Edge x4. With that much damage resistance on a roaming super I'd expect it to have Nova Warp levels of damage resistance. submitted by /u/lokidaliar [link] [comments]

I'm tired of trying to make clans work, in a sad way. Posted: 30 Aug 2020 01:41 PM PDT Here's what happens basically every time I join a clan: Be me, no clan tag Do [Activity] with some randoms because I can't do shit like raids on my own Occasionally, one of the teams of randoms won't be awful and they'll badger me to join their clan. Agree because comradeship and shit, I'd love to have a consistent team of above average people to vibe with Maybe I hear from them like, a small handful of times after the one raid or whatever we did Inquire about this, "destiny is kinda dead for most of us" they say, or nobody is really paying attention to the discord channel for the clan at all Leave clan Be me, no clan tag submitted by /u/LawlessCoffeh [link] [comments]

What I’m hoping we get in Beyond Light... Posted: 30 Aug 2020 12:10 PM PDT STRIKE SPECIFIC LOOT. Nightfall loot is cool and all, but I miss Skeleton Keys and grinding strikes for loot. It was one of the best ways to play, grind, and just have fun. What if Master Nightfalls and above guaranteed the curated roll? Or maybe they guarantee Skelton keys to use in strikes. Also, please bring back strike scoring, even if it doesn't matter for anything. It helps let you know that YOU got the kill. It's an ego booster. I just really miss grinding strikes. In D1, my friends and I would bring strikes after work for a few hours, shoot the breeze about the day, and just chill. I miss those days. submitted by /u/CronusTheDefender [link] [comments]

Exotic that I would like to see for Revenant Hunters Posted: 30 Aug 2020 10:18 AM PDT I am a HUGE Mortal Kombat fan and while I was thinking about this last night. Would be cool if there was something that let you make an ice clone like Sub Zero when you dodge. Then you can detonate by shooting at it to freeze enemies that in the blast radius. Not sure how it could be balanced...it was just something I thought of when I was in the bathroom. submitted by /u/Shockaslim1 [link] [comments]

Opulent Clap needs sound added to it Posted: 30 Aug 2020 03:39 AM PDT The emotes I'm Open and Slow Clap both have clap noises, but emotes like High Five and Opulent Clap don't. Perhaps a quieter version of Calus's claps could be added for Opulent clap? Please? I'll miss that fat bastard and his big fish ship. submitted by /u/Whats_5leep [link] [comments]

Megathread: Destiny 1 and 2 Server Issues Posted: 30 Aug 2020 04:55 AM PDT Hi Guardians, There have been many reports that the game is currently inaccessible. This may or may not be related to a current issue with Cloudfare servers. Player population has returned to normal thresholds. We believe this issue has been resolved. Players still having connection issues should report to the #Help Forum. ~@BungieHelp Player population in Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 continues to see improvements. Some players may still be impacted. Please standby for updates. ~ @BungieHelp We are starting to see steady uptrends of player population in Destiny 1 and Destiny 2, but some players may still be impacted by connection issues. Please standby for updates. ~ @BungieHelp We are continuing to see partner service providers impacting Destiny 1 and Destiny 2. Until these issues are resolved, players may be unable to log into the games. ~ @BungieHelp We've identified an issue with partner service providers as the cause of Destiny 1 and 2 players being unable to log in. We're continuing to investigate this issue. Players trying to log back into the games may experience various error codes or be placed in a login queue. ~ @BungieHelp We are investigating issues causing players to be unable to play Destiny 1 and Destiny 2. ~ @BungieHelp We will route all posts about this issue to this Megathread. For the latest information, we recommend checking Bungie's twitter accounts but we will update this thread with more information as it comes. Thank you for your patience! submitted by /u/DTG_Bot [link] [comments]

What if we... and stay with me on this... Posted: 30 Aug 2020 01:57 PM PDT What if we held our fusion rifles sideways so the spread became more useful to us? The math names would flow too! "Perpendicular", "the 90th degree", or "the Equator". submitted by /u/Quietech [link] [comments]

It's time for a Last City Council meeting Posted: 30 Aug 2020 03:18 PM PDT I don't think I'm alone in feeling a huge disconnect between the tower guardians and the citizenry of the last city. While there has been bits of gameplay where we are in the city, we haven't been shown it to be a living, breathing place with actual people, government, culture, concerns, etc. I think a big step in correcting that would be a cutscene of the various different leaders coming together to discuss events (especially since the pyramids are here) and course of action. Imagine the city governors calling together dead orbit, new monarchy, future war cult, and the vanguard and getting the perspective of each at a location like this Dead orbit stating what their scouts across the solar system have seen and arguing that we have no chance against the darkness. New monarchy calling these hearings a waste of time as centralized and unquestioned action needs to be taken now in order to ensure victory. Future war cult speaking on what they've seen in their simulations and deep thinking computers. And finally the vanguard being called to explain the situation and what they're doing about it. What if the governors knew we were experimenting with the darkness? Do they know rasputin is out of the equation for the time being? It could create some drama and conflict between the last city and the vanguard, just anything to remind me that there are actual people down there. Let it be a public hearing so we can see shaxx, saladin, saint-14, ada, etc, and just random citizens and guardians in attendance. They could speak on repairs, building a fleet, eulogy for Cadye, condition of the traveler, scout reports, outpost communications, etc. To add onto that it would he great if the 3 factions became relevant again in the tower. Let us pledge to one and complete bouties against high level targets, or complete the leviathan raid to report on calus, or go on scouting missions across the planets to dangerous areas. Then we could rank up, earn faction specific weapons and armor, an exotic class item maybe? Anyway thanks for reading! submitted by /u/stellarmancer [link] [comments]

Lord Shaxx is amazing Posted: 30 Aug 2020 07:24 PM PDT For some reason I have an inexplicable love for the Crucible master. Is it because he hypes me up compared to the other rookies in the crucible, even though i suck? Perhaps. Is it his wack kinda British accent? Maybe. Is it his stupid voice lines like "Yor enimy cont kil eef they're ded!"? Perhaps But I stan Lord Shaxx. submitted by /u/oakpizzaria [link] [comments]

Ghostshell Perks Posted: 30 Aug 2020 04:49 PM PDT Hey Bungie folks, don't forget to remove the perks on ghost shells relating to the planets that are being vaulted. It's bad enough getting a legendary ghost shell from a a bright engram, it'll be even worse if we get one with Titan scanner. submitted by /u/BlueskyUK [link] [comments]

Simplified Beginners guide to get started in 2020 Posted: 30 Aug 2020 02:23 PM PDT I keep reading about people trying to bring friends to Destiny 2 but most feel immediately overwhelmed and quit before seeing what Destiny is really about. And I can't blame them. Bungie created an awesome game with incredible potential, but the way they introduce the game to new players is awful. Bungie is working on new introduction quests set in the Cosmodrome. I'm sure it will be better than what we have today (basically nothing) but in the meantime, thousands continue to quit too soon. Instead of waiting until Beyond Light in 2+ months, I created a simplified Destiny 2 beginners guide: This is the table of contents: Essential tools Item manager: DIM LFG: Companion App Data: Destiny Tracker Bonus tools Understanding the basics Planets and game modes Weapon classes Ammo Types Where to get started Red War campaign Leveling Up and XP How leveling works Powerful and Pinnacle sources Tips to level up faster Why XP is important How to farm XP Upgrading your Gear Best weapons Exotics Armor priorities End game activities PVP activities PVE activities LFG And there you have it. I insist this is a simplified guide in the sense that it's short and sweet. Everything is explained but made as simple as possible. I know there are some guides out there with 20,000+ words but lazy people like me will never read it! You can find the guide here. submitted by /u/ric_mcgmr [link] [comments]

Exotics in this game. Posted: 30 Aug 2020 05:35 PM PDT I think this season has set a precident for how weapons work. The two main swords (you know exactly what I mean) have changed how we see legendary power weapons. Ruinous Effigy has changed how we see exotic weapons. Good or bad, I think weapons on the future should AT LEAST live up to this standard. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think Bungie has set a new standard for how weapons should work in this current sandbox. Thoughts? submitted by /u/RoosterPorn [link] [comments]

I freaking love the focused engrams! Posted: 30 Aug 2020 07:28 AM PDT This is just an appreciation post. Just the fact that i have a saying in what i am going to get really motivates me to grind the activities, because i can grind them with whatever weapons and sub-classes that i feel like. It makes me hopeful for future updates, because surely the people at Bungie will see the success of the umbral engrams and do something similar. That is all. submitted by /u/ScrubToad [link] [comments]

(10 minutes) Fly to the EDZ, grab Devrim's bounties, then clear the Bergusia Forge. (10 minutes) Fly to Io, grab Asher's bounties, then clear all three Lost Sectors on Io. Loot world chests in between. (15 minutes) Total Non-Elemental Non-Weapon-Specific Bounties Cleared: 17 Dailies Total Time: 45 minutes Bounties Per Minute: .3777 Rewards: 97,000 XP (unmodified) 5 Vanguard Tokens, 1/8 Vanguard Weekly Challenge 2 Modulus Reports 175 Altered Element 1 Exodus-Focused Umbral Engram 4/8 Gambit Weekly Challenge 15 Helium Filaments 15 Dusklight Shards 10 Phaseglass Needles Season Ranks Per Hour: 1.29 Extra Weapon/Elemental Specific Bounties: Zavala: Grenade Launcher, Fusion Rifle, Finisher Kills in Strikes Banshee: Sidearm, Fusion Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Arc Weapon Kills Prismatic Recaster: Auto Rifle, Void Weapon Kills Brother Vance: Solar Ability, Arc, Cyclops Kills on Mercury Put 'em all together: Run the Garden World Strike/Ordeal with a Solar subclass, Kinetic Grenade Launcher, Fusion Rifle, and Rocket Launcher, one Arc and one Void (Loaded Question, anyone?). Run a Sidearm and Void Auto Rifle in the Forge to clean up the others. This is 12 extra bounties for 72,000 XP. Eris wants SMG kills on the Moon. Easy peasy when clearing the others. Asher wants Solar kills on Io. Nessus bounties are an easy clear with a Solar weapon today. Drifter has some Prime Dailies, 3k each, that are possible but not guaranteed, so I didn't include them above. Invasion Kills, Super Medal Kills, Kill a Primeval, etc. Grab whatever you feel confident you can clear in your one match. submitted by /u/DeerTrivia [link] [comments]
