    Warning: Bungie used the wrong images for the Solstice Glow Bundles on Eververse as well as the images for the ornaments.

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 03:45 PM PDT

    After I got my glow and donned on my Majestic set, I headed over to the Tribute Hall in excitement to see the glow's full potential. I was immediately disappointed and confused by what I bought. I looked back over to the Eververse Store page, and I realized something was wrong. Bungie used the wrong images for the glow bundle on the Eververse store page. The glows you get from that bundle will never be as bright as shown. What makes this so infuriating is that you cannot preview what the glows would look like when super charged. So, when you see the preview, you automatically think to yourself, "Well, maybe if I get max super energy that it'll become as bright as that image and the ornaments indicates." (https://i.imgur.com/c4maX24.png)

    No. It never gets that bright.

    Without the Super charged: https://i.imgur.com/rKUcH0d.png


    "Maybe you need to be in a darker area?" Tested that too...

    Here's me in an almost pitch-black corner in Pit of Heresy with my super charged. It helps a little, but it just doesn't get that bright as shown in Eververse: https://i.imgur.com/By3Kw2D.png


    "Maybe it'll glow brighter when you reach the third armor set." I reached Magnificent today, and completed all objectives with the exception for Trials wins, and there was absolutely no change in brightness for the elemental glows. Also, none of Bungie's media outside of their Eververse image showcases this level of brightness for the Elemental glow.

    Showcase: https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/139/139959/Solstice_Glow_swap_v2b_NR_16x9_1080p30_H264_Twitter.mp4

    Gameplay Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEc1ugYKHaM

    TWAB: https://i.imgur.com/SAiXjxk.png - This is as close as it could get to the Eververse image, but there is still a noticeable difference when compared to Eververse.


    I hope Bungie can update the Eververse image before more people spend money/dust with the belief this is representative of the ornaments in-game. The last Solstice didn't have this problem at all, what you saw was what you got.

    Solstice Actual: https://i.imgur.com/zICqOTl.png


    Remember that not every player will consume every bit of news that Bungie pushes out, which is what pushed me to post this since a player might buy the bundle with the false expectation of the glows. Sidenote: I would love to see any comments by Hunters and Titans that bought the bundle compare their own glows to the Eververse page; it feels like Warlocks got shafted by this more than the other two, curious to see what other people have.

    Titan's Eververse Page: https://i.imgur.com/w7hisGO.png

    Hunter's Eververse Page: https://i.imgur.com/dBxBudc.png


    We're not done yet. The other thing is the ornament images in our inventory do not line up with what is actually being worn by us. I only did this with the Warlock since it's the only bundle I bought. These are the most obvious. (Context: There's a glitch where if you launch into a map, wear the glows, and inspect an emote while loading, it will showcase the glow as if you have max super energy. This is how my comparisons were made.)

    Bond: https://i.imgur.com/ECBykgC.png - The bond is nowhere near this vivid, obvious difference.

    Helmet: https://i.imgur.com/0V5TdE8.png - The horns do not light up, rather there's a glowing set of horns, and they are blocking the glow behind it. The cracks are smaller.

    Legs: https://i.imgur.com/ffvm1Td.png - The glows stop at the feet instead of moving upwards on the footwear. Also, the cracks for it are completely missing.


    I'm not going to go out and say that this was intentionally false advertising and make a huge argument about "Bungie bad," but rather take an educated guess that glow designs were changed at the last minute. Bungie probably forgot to update the Ornament and Eververse images before the launch of this event because they already had a ton on their plate. I hope this post is useful to those on the fence about buying these glows, especially to those hemorrhaging bright dust, thank you all for reading!


    Important edit: There's some confusion about whether wearing the actual magnificent pieces will make the elemental glows brighter. I want to clear it up by showing images of the ornament on/off the magnificent set (boots excluded):

    Ornament off: https://i.imgur.com/dhZkeaf.png

    Ornament on: https://i.imgur.com/JeTIO1D.png

    It doesn't seem any brighter than without having achieved the white glow.

    edit #2: If people are curious how 2019's glows compared to 2020, here is an image in Pit of Heresy in the same spot I recorded for this post.

    Solstice 2019 glow: https://i.imgur.com/Xtyk3CO.png

    Solstice 2020 glow: https://i.imgur.com/By3Kw2D.png

    Very important edit #3: Hunter glows being seemingly normal, courtesy of /u/A_Russianspy. It's very possible now that Warlock, and maybe Titan, glows are bugged and are having issues!! I'm hoping Bungie can please take a look at this, their glows are very close to what the store page is showing.

    PLEASE bungie for the LOVE OF GOD make it STOP FLASHING

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 10:37 AM PDT

    I'm over 100 and the season pass bar won't stop flashing (as if I still had things to collect). There's nothing left. Please help. It's driving me insane. For a game directed at the hardcore completitionists I can't think of a worse torture.

    If you don't want to play Solstice, don't.

    No one is forcing you. If you really don't want to, don't force yourself. You have an entire month.

    Bungie: It would be nice if the Solstice glows glowed at maximum strength in public spaces.

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 08:13 AM PDT

    Because they don't.

    Some of the glows (solar and especially void) are barely even visible on some pieces (the head specifically) unless the player is standing in the dark.

    Considering that there is no super that can be charged in the tower, you also can't just wait out to get a stronger glow, it will always stay at it's weakest, due to the feature that glows scale with super energy.

    Bungie has said the cosmodrome strikes are coming back and with them omnigul will most likely return from the dead a fourth time

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 10:51 AM PDT

    In the distant future the universe is cold and dead. It's a time so remote the vex cannot reach it. The light is extinguished, the darkness has ceased from being as there is nothing to cast shadow. The hive gods are dust, the march of time has caught up to even the vex. And yet in this cradle of nothingness a lone shriek drifts through the emptiness. Is it from the agony of an eternity alone, or the laughter of the most resilient being in existence. We will never know. There is nobody to ask Omnigul.

    This sub is far too hyperbolic....

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 08:40 AM PDT

    Just a couple of days ago I was reading posts about how this season is pretty good and a big improvement over previous seasons (both in rewards we can earn and story wise) and it seemed like most people were pretty happy with it overall....and now because of a lackluster Solstice event Destiny 2 is complete trash and Luke Smith is Satan himself? Like damn so there's no reward for grinding it out on all three characters? Except you know.....the armor itself? I just wish the discussion on this sub could be more nuanced, seems like we're either in "Destiny 2 is great" or "Destiny 2 is complete trash" mode. If I were a new player checking out this sub rn it would probably completely turn me off from wanting to be part of the community.

    Glows 2019 vs 2020

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 04:08 PM PDT

    Finished the majestic set (it's not master worked yet), but here's the glows for 2020 compared to 2019.

    Extremely underwhelming.

    Since we're here in an event working for glows. Do any of you remember when Bungie had us grind for weeks to get those Verdant Forest glow Antlers/Wings ornaments in that (what became a 1 time) Easter event, and then disabled the glows when the event isn't active?

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 06:49 PM PDT

    I think about that alot tbh. Would be excellent if Bungie could enable those ornaments to work always, or even better reintroduce them as a glow that can work for all armor

    Bungie please change the “Power Rising” (Super Saiyan) emote to loop in its charge-up stance until user input cancels.

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 02:21 AM PDT

    I want to LOVE it, but rn it's not the over-9000 it should be! You've changed emotes in the past to be looped, so please make this one, small change.

    Sincerely, A Yamcha level Destiny player.

    The cowboy hat Ghost is probably the single most exited I've been for a ghost shell in since D1Y2, seeing that it doesn't have guiding light and is objectively inferior to every shell that does is probably the most disappointed I've been since D1Y2.

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 02:17 PM PDT

    I was seriously about to drop money on silver for the shell but I'm definitely not gonna now. I know for a fact I'm not the only one who feels this way, maybe not about the same shell, but the point still stands that it's ridiculous to have one single perk on something be better than the rest of the perk pool combined.

    Maybe I'm just being butthurt over this (probably) but its frustrating that the one time I actually am interested in buying silver for something, the thing is so worthless I cant justify spending the money. GG Bungie.

    Gambit is infested with AFKs

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 10:31 AM PDT

    Due to the armor requirements for playing gambit I have atleast 1 AFK in literally every game today. Some have more than 1. Not many enjoy gambit so just opt to afk the games it seems. Just a warning for anyone going to try and grind that today.

    I'm extremely sick and tired of Eververse

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 01:03 AM PDT

    Event page has 3 FULL pages of items

    Event NPC has shit

    Edit: Thanks for the awards and stuff!

    Edit 2: For the people saying, "stop complaining, it's a free event, play if you want to, don't play if you don't want to", oh I'm way ahead of you, I'm not participating in the event whatsoever because the event is nothing more than a cash grab. But you have to realize, this shit is scummy. It's a looter game isn't it? Well how can I obtain loot if most of it is locked behind the store? This needs to change, and how else can it change if we don't "complain"? Really think about it for a second, how else do things in the world change if we don't "complain"? When your boss gives you a pay bump do you think it's because they value you? No. It's because you complained that the pay wasn't enough, and maybe you even threatened to leave, so they decided to give you more. How do you think unfair working conditions get better? Because people "complain" about them. How do you think problems get solved? Because people "complain" about them. Remember when everyone dogged the Sonic movie for how Sonic looked, and it actually got changed from so many people "complaining"? So that's ok, but when it comes to video games it's not ok, and if we complain we're labeled ungrateful, unsatisfied, etc? Lol, gimme a break.

    Edit 3: For the people saying, "this is how Bungie makes money", it's funny, people wanna say microtransactions help keep games afloat, but I remember games being very alive and very successful before microtransactions came into the mix. Anybody remember a little title called Halo? All of Bungie's Halo's did phenomenal. All of the Call of Duty games pre-MTX did phenomenal. So yeah.

    Edit 4: For the people saying, "it shouldn't be wrong to support your favorite developer", you're missing the point here. It IS wrong when the cosmetics locked behind the Eververse are the ONLY cosmetics in the game. It would be a different story if the EAZ offered you some rewards, and there was also some stuff you can buy from the Eververse, but that is not the case at all.

    Edit 5: For the people saying, "it's just cosmetics", it's still content, content which should be earned through playing the game, content which WAS earned through playing the game in D1. But even like I said in Edit 4, the Eververse wouldn't even be so bad if we ALSO had cosmetics that were earned through playing the game. To clarify, this point is mainly about the Solstice event. There are no EAZ rewards. There is only stuff in the Eververse.

    Edit 6: For the people saying, "it all will be available for Bright Dust", the only main source for Bright Dust is on a weekly lockout. After I do the weekly bounties I can't make any more progress until the next week. You can't generate a consistent flow of income.

    Consider locking your solstice renewed set while working on it.

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 07:21 AM PDT

    If you're switching exotic pieces in while working on it you might dismantle one. I have a habit of dismantling any blue and nearly deleted one twice. Not sure if it affects progress or not but why find out.

    Can SoH armor glow at full brightness at tower?

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 07:48 AM PDT

    It would be cool if the glow was at full brightness (super is available) when we are roaming around the tower.

    It looks a little dull as is right now in my opinion.

    Destiny 2 's Leviathan Raid made in Halo 5!

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:15 AM PDT

    I thought this was really cool and wanted to share it with the Destiny Community. Now of course this isn't exactly the same because the limitations of Forge, but it is still really cool to see someone inspired by Destiny and make it in Halo 5 :)

    The progess bonus is nice but how about a bright dust discount on the 2nd and 3rd characters for the glows.

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:12 AM PDT

    Title.

    Cost on main would be 6,000 BD, 2nd character = 4,000 BD. 3rd character = 3,000.

    Or a buy all 3 discount at 12,000 BD.

    For silver, maybe similar discounts or bundle cost.

    Competing for Kills in PvE Promotes Toxic Behavior (with spicy example)

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 04:49 PM PDT

    I wanted to share an exchange I just had about 10 minutes ago in the strike playlist while grinding my 600 kills. It was just a blueberry and I running the strike as the other bro was standing at spawn.

    The Blueberry that was playing still had his blue solstice gear. He died a few times (because blueberries like to do that) but I scooped him up each time. Towards the end of the strike I accidentally killed myself with a sweet mountaintop induced backflip. But have no fear, I see Blueberry approach, walk over my glowing corpse, and continue on.

    Now I'm not new to strikes or people generally being jerks but the past couple days this has happened a lot. So as I sat and watched him struggle to kill hive for 30 seconds (considering joining Taeko-3 in her suicide) I decided I would have a chat with them. Here is the exchange:

    Me (totally not passive aggressive): Hey, did you know you can hold "E" to pick up other people when they die

    Me: Like I have been doing with you.

    Blueberry (grammar corrected a bit): If you wait, you can press "E" and pick yourself up.

    Me (who doesn't need clears, only kills): Cool, just confirming you were actually a jerk, have fun soloing the boss.

    ...Disconnects...

    TLDR: Don't be a jerk, pick people up, we are all grinding.

    New Beyond Light Vid with Justin Truman

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 06:55 AM PDT

    A Chinese website recently put out a vid of Justin Truman (Production Director) speaking a bit more on Beyond Light, Season of Arrivals as well as the Witch Queen and Lightfall. We also get a couple of snippets of Europa and the environment.

    vid link - https://www.gcores.com/articles/127404

    I couldn't translate the questions asked in the vid, hopefully someone else can do that for us.

    Summary:

    - Eramis learns and obtains the Darkness powers therefore we do the same to defeat Eramis

    - "First wield the Darkness" in Beyond Light

    - "A villian will step from the shadows" in the Witch Queen

    - "A climatic showdown between Light and Darkness" in Lightfall

    - Emphasis on the 3 expansions as a 'trilogy'

    - A couple more surprises yet to come this season

    - Stasis prioritises battlefield control instead of pure DPS

    - More info to come about stasis

    Stat boost based on actual stats not every 10.

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 09:43 AM PDT

    Having 71 mobility is the same thing as 79 mobility, and there is no rational reason for this other than, bungie use to have it as single digit numbers, updated it for more fidelity, but forgot/wasn't aware they needed to-update the incremental gains instead of the every 10 points you get a buff for a rational change.

    There is no logical reason you can't cascade the buff out.

    70 mobility = +28.0%
    71 Mobility = +28.4%
    72 mobility = +28.8%
    73 Mobility = +29.2%
    74 mobility = +29.6%
    75 Mobility = +30.0%
    76 mobility = +30.4%
    77 Mobility = +30.8%
    78 Mobility = +31.2%
    79 Mobility = +31.6%
    80 Mobility = +32.0%

    or is this happening already and the players are not being informed? I feel like this is just broken having developed stat based games in the past. If it is because of the ineffectiveness of the buffing then there is an issue with the buffs being provided at certain levels and should be increased.

    I also think there should be a buff to resilience to be up to twice as effective as it's pretty trash right now. Imagine being able to take 4 hand-cannon head-shots at the cost of mobility or recovery. Options are a nice thing. Right now you either get 6 resilience to survive exceptionally niche situations like thorn poison or ignore it entirely. It needs attention.

    Why there always have to be a catch with the glows, i just want it to glow at maximum all the time.....

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 09:05 PM PDT

    Is that too much to ask ? I don't want it to be utilized in any way. Just gives us max glow, that's it. Nothing more.

    First it was if you are on other subclasses the armor glowed barley....

    Now that the problem is fixed, it is if your super its not filled it doesn't glow fully....

    Why....... Just why..... Who though of this...

    Please in the future don't connect glows with subclass mechanics. Because it's shit. No one likes it. Changing color is fine but the rest drop it.

    Please fix the un-shadeable gold on the Solstice sets!

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 02:24 AM PDT

    This armor set looks great. But the warlock robes and hunter cloaks (I've heard have large parts of them that can't be changed from the original gold color that they drop with.Just this one part that will keep it from matching any shader almost. It sticks out because the top half of the robe ACTUALLY CHANGES WITH THE SHADER. Maybe this wasn't intentional, but if it is I think it needs to be changed if they want me to buy ornaments.
