    Thought I would get a cheeky Leviathan tat before the raid disappears

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 04:46 PM PDT

    This is what I got yesterday. I was inspired by the Leviathan and the designs on the raid gear!

    [Fan Art] SALVATION

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 09:27 AM PDT

    Using a weapon should increase the chance that its catalyst will drop.

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 07:29 PM PDT

    This is a minor QoL suggestion, but it would be nice to have an increased chance of earning a weapon catalyst when you use the weapon itself. For example, using Suros in Crucible would give you better odds of obtaining its catalyst as a drop after a win, final blow, or defeat. Or, going brrrr with Sweet Business would cause its catalyst to drop in open world activities. The percentages would otherwise stay the same with other load outs.

    This scheme would encourage using different weapons and reduce the grind. Especially, for New Light players that have to earn 20+ catalysts with no real way to target the grind.

    Solstice gear needs a higher drop rate from packages, we don't need more blues

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 04:54 AM PDT

    I just watched somebody open 100 packages and go 38 packages before getting a single piece of armor, solely for it to have bad stat rolls.

    We get blue gear from EVERYTHING, usually 3 pieces at a time. We don't need events where you give us a good system (farming solstice armor) but filling the system with insane amounts of gear we can get from absolutely any other source in the game. Once at 1060 base, I can think of no reason other than gunsmith materials, which most people have 1000s of anyway, to drop this many blues besides from padding the event out.

    It takes a lot of time to get packages, either make packages a guaranteed drop from Solstice chests (crazy to think we dont need more keys, I know.) or increase the chances of getting Solstice gear. I personally have almost 3k keys but rarely any packages due to everything else in the game taking my attention away from the EAZ. So when I do play EAZ, it's annoying just getting more keys despite every other activity in the game giving me keys too.

    Why does bungie make so many new rocket launchers but don’t bother to buff them?

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 12:55 PM PDT

    This season alone they reissued the shining sphere (ib rl), bad omens (gambit rl) and the hoosegow (which if you pay attention is the third hoosegow including the year 1 and the black armoury hoosegow). And that's not mentioning the reset cap on raid weapons such as apex predator.

    Like at least with linear fusions for the duration they ignored them bungie legitimately left them alone until they were buffed.

    They haven't even tried to add "triple tap" or "fourth times the charm" on the only legendary power weapons capable of dealing precision damage.

    With rocket launchers though they just pump out rocket launchers with basically the same potential. Tracking, cluster bombs, kill clip, auto loading, ambitious assassin, rangefinder.

    The only standout, unique perks on a rl are disruption break, demolitionist, and clown cartridge from the trials rl.

    Like on top of being bad and pentiful, they don't even innovate with them.

    Swashbuckler,

    graverobber (especially paired with demo),

    multi kill clip,

    subsistence (sure the reserves would be stupidly low but would still be worth a shot)

    None of these have been shown on a rocket launcher as far as I've seen.

    All I am trying to say is bungie, either;

    Buff rocket launchers

    or

    Innovate with these perks I've mentioned

    or

    Don't make rocket launchers at all.

    We always know where to find tracking rockets. We'll live fine.

    Seriously what is the point of weapon telementaries? We already have gunsmith materials to turn into banshee, what's the point?

    I've just found out there is a campaign in this game

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 07:18 AM PDT

    After playing for 8 hours I found out there is actual campaign here. Cool game design.

    Edit: To clarify, I love this game. It's beautiful and addicting even without campaign. But for a new player it's been a bit confusing.

    Since this season is going to be really long and gnawing hunger is sticking around for another year, can you sell the ornament for bright dust?

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 03:00 PM PDT

    All vendors should be able to focus engrams eventually.

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 05:14 PM PDT

    I really hope a system comes where Legendary Engrams, in most cases, just drop as an Engram, and you can take them to a vendor to focus. You'd have a large world pool, and you could focus for what you want. Want Crucible weapons? Focus at Shaxx. Gunsmith weapons? Banshee. Specific general pool weapons? Rahool. Each planetary vendor would let you focus for that planet's loot with world materials. It'd make every vendor useful and I think would make farming much better.

    Dragon's Shadow gives Hunter's both dodge ability benefits. Can Titans and Warlocks get something similar to where both their class abilities are active at the same time?

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 11:26 AM PDT

    Titan's exotic should allow a reload buff with a tall shield when near it, could just add the perk to Crest of Alpha Lupi or Citan's Rampart. Warlock's exotic should allow healing in empowered rifts, change Promethium Spur to do this since it is practically useless

    Why is the vein glow on Synthoceps still busted?

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 01:25 PM PDT

    A year ago, Shadowkeep killed my love affair with Synthoceps. This once majestic looking exotic lost a bit of its flair because the veins stopped glowing and are now dull, lifeless. Please fix it.

    Edit to add example pic, as it seems to not dawn on some as to how drastic this change was to one of the most used, and arguably better looking, exotics in the game. My original post was a bit tongue in cheek but on a serious note, how is this acceptable? And it's not just this one thing, it's many, but there have been posts galore on many of those topics, this is mine.

    Just a heads up, you can’t play destiny 1 if you linked your Bungie account to your twitch account. You’ll get the error code tapir when you try to log in.

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 08:49 AM PDT

    I don't even know why this is a thing, but oh boy is it annoying.

    Almost forgot to say, if your twitch account and Bungie.net account are linked together, you will have to unlink your twitch account in order to play destiny 1 again.

    Made myself a tribute to my favourite looking hand cannon in the entire franchise.

    Some rough paint job on some parts but overall very happy with the results!

    A major PVP problem on the horizon is the fact that sunsetting will not balance Mtntop or Revoker in anything outside of IB and Trials.

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 07:31 AM PDT

    I play a lot of PVP and I used to use Revoker exclusively until I dropped a good Eye of Sol. I still use it in Trials though because I don't like being put at a disadvantage as far as snipers go.

    This is probably the same mentality lots of Trials players have. Use Revoker because it's objectively the best until sunsetting. What happens after sunsetting though? Well, in everything outside of trials and IB...nothing.

    What about those players who use mtntop looking for easy, cheesy kills? What happens after sunsetting for them? Well...nothing.

    Things like quickplay play lists and even Survival, a competitive Playlist, well still see tons of mtntop and Revoker usage.

    These guns need to be addressed/reworked. Revoker breaks the ammo economy and mtntop is about as toxic as you can get. Unless something is done to these weapons specifically (also looking at you, auto rifles) then the sandbox will not change a bit outside of trials and IB.

    Revoker, mtntop, and a Gnawing Hunger. The loadout of "champions"

    Make anything that is the highest power level in its slot take Exotic-time to dismantle

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 01:46 AM PDT

    Imagine, if you will - you just got your last 1060 piece, bringing you up to max power level. Half in excitement, half in the monotony of dismantling junk, you clear out the rest of the stuff you picked up from that last event, then go to the Postmaster to clear that out, too.

    Then, excitedly you go to infuse your preferred weapon in that slot with the new 1060 you just got and....where did it go? Did you vault it by accident on DIM? Search is:maxpower and....the highest in that slot is 1059. You accidentally dismantled it, and now you have to pray to RNGsus to complete you set again, and he smites you for your seeming ingratitude - none of the 6 other Pinnalces you have left are for that slot you need.

    Sound unlikely? It's more common than you think. It just happened to me.

    Now, we know this is more often than not a symptom of people getting used to dismantling blues because we still get them and we've all heard how blues should just be auto-dismantled yadda yadda.

    Absent of whatever engineering feat that might be, perhaps an easier-to-implement suggestion: anything that is the highest power level in its slot takes the same amount of time as an Exotic to dismantle. You're sitting there, absent mindedly getting rid of purples - having a purple take Exotic time would snap you out of that mindless rhythm.

    Optimized Bounties For 2020/08/19

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 11:12 AM PDT

    Deer trivia: One reason why deer are more active during twilight hours is because they have poor daytime eyesight. Deer eyes have more rods than cones, which means their eyes are sensitive to sunlight. They can see much better during low-light times.


    Step 1 - Regard deer with suspicion, as they may be tempted by the Darkness in Beyond Light.

    Step 2 - Pick up the following dailies. Weeklies can be found here.

    Tower Bounties:

    • Zavala Daily – They Were The Champions – 5 Champion Kills in the Ordeal
    • Zavala Daily – Horseshoes and Hand Grenades – 20 Grenade Kills
    • Ada-1 Daily – Forge Super Kills – 10 Super Kills During a Forge
    • Ada-1 Daily – Lost Forge Power Kills – 10 Power Weapon Kills During a Forge
    • Drifter Daily – Blockade – Send a Small, Medium, and Large Blocker in Gambit
    • Drifter Daily – Fistful of Motes – Bank 25 Motes in Gambit
    • Drifter Daily – Line 'em Up – As a Fireteam, Kill 5 Guardians in Gambit
    • Drifter Daily – Face to Face – Summon 2 Primevals in Gambit
    • Prismatic Recaster Daily – Might Makes Light – 20 Super Kills
    • Prismatic Recaster Daily – Breakin' Taken – Kill 5 Taken With Finishers

    Planetaries:

    • Devrim Kay – The Big Guns – Power Weapon Multikills in the EDZ
    • Failsafe – War Machine – 3 Power Weapon Multikills on Nessus
    • Failsafe – Cabal or Nothing – Kill 30 Cabal on Nessus
    • Asher Mir – One Shot, One Kill – 10 Precision Kills on Io

    Step 3 - Follow these steps:

    1. Fly to Io, grab Asher's bounties, then run a 1020 Ordeal. If you did the Strike yesterday, then today you should clear Asher's two Weeklies here. (15 minutes)
    2. Fly to Nessus, grab Failsafe's bounties, then run a Cabal Public Event. (10 minutes)
    3. Fly to the EDZ, grab Devrim's bounty, then clear the Volundr Forge. (10 minutes)
    4. Play one-to-two matches of Gambit Prime. Remember to finish Taken! (10-20 minutes)

    Total Non-Elemental Non-Weapon-Specific Bounties Cleared:

    • 14 Dailies
    • Asher's two Weeklies
    • Probably "Field Calibration" Weekly
    • Possibly Gambit Weeklies
    • Probably Abuela's "Gather Orbs" Weekly

    Total Time: 45-55 minutes

    Bounties Per Minute: .32

    Rewards:

    • 84,000 XP (unmodified)
    • 12,000 XP per Tower Weekly (unmodified)
    • 2 Exodus Focused Umbral Engrams
    • 325 Altered Element
    • 10 Vanguard Tokens, 2/8 Vanguard Weekly Challenge
    • 4/8 Gambit Weekly Challenge
    • 2 Modulus Reports
    • 10 Datalettuce
    • 5 Dusklight Shards
    • 5 Phaseglass Needles

    Season Ranks Per Hour: 1.008

    Extra Weapon/Elemental Specific Bounties:

    • Zavala: Bow, Solar Kills in Strikes
    • Banshee: Auto Rifle, Bow, Heavy GL, Void Weapon Kills
    • Failsafe: Void Kills on Nessus
    • Put 'em together: Run an Auto Rifle, Bow, and Heavy GL in the Strikke, at least one of which is Solar. Run the remainder in the Forge. That's 7 extra bounties for 42,000 XP.
    • Titan is worth doing with a Solar weapon.

    EDIT: /u/Logose is back with his Bounty Hunter Daily Reset Threads! Go give 'em a look!

    Sliding also works to escape taken Cyclops containment

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 09:38 PM PDT

    On festering core you can slide (or jump) to avoid getting detained by those pesky Cyclops. Here's a clip of my buddy falling then me sliding, hope this helps those who didn't know about it!
