    Bungie Please: Bring back Spektar Armor, I wish to fight for the users

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 03:23 PM PDT

    Illustrated a couple celebrating their 1-year anniversary, recreated them as their destiny guardians in the exact way the proposal went. I got to see their reaction and was a wonderful experience I wanted to share here :)

    The Shard of the Traveler painted in Bob Ross-style oil painting (first attempt)

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 09:31 AM PDT

    https://i.imgur.com/B3iFTxn.jpg

    This is my second Bob Ross-style painting I've ever done, and it actually turned out worse than the first one. :) Probably because I didn't do as much preparation - I was guessing at how to do the shadows and highlights of the Shard as well as the shadows and snow of the mountains. And I know there's not as much grass and trees at the water's edge in this spot in the EDZ but I need more practice on dirt and rocks before I fix that for my second attempt.

    Hopefully as I get some more practice in I can start doing more of these Destiny landscapes.

    Thanks for checking it out!

    EDIT: Thanks for the silver! Or as Bob Ross would say, "There's a happy little silver."

    EDIT: Holy crap thanks for the gold! In honor of Bob's squirrel friend I'll call it Peapod the Pocket Gold.

    EDIT: Thanks for the awards! I will cherish them as I cherish a well-painted cloud. Seriously. They're hard sometimes.

    Black Armory fans, get the 3 hidden emblems before they're gone

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 04:35 PM PDT

    Love the Black Armory aesthetic, didn't even realize these pretty emblems were available since they're hidden on collections: Datto's Guide. Wouldn't have known about these if it weren't for Braytech's Content Vault section so go check that out too.

    All it requires is the Black Armory Bow, LMG, and Sniper, and one trip to Volundr forge (from patrol, don't need to wait for it to appear in the rotation).

    I've never enjoyed strikes this much; more events like this please!

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 12:12 PM PDT

    I ran the Master Ordeal for 8 hrs yesterday with my clan and it was some of the most fun we've had outside of new raids and dungeons. Our fireteam was around 1065-1070 and the difficulty felt perfect. First few runs we were figuring out our loadouts and mods. By the end of the day we had a really comfortable rhythm and were pretty happy getting a clear time of ~14min. We always had to stay on our toes otherwise we'd risk a wipe but when encounters went smoothly it felt so good.

    The rewards feel ideal for such an ordeal; we did run into an issue of getting gold rewards every once in a while even when we killed every champion but that only happened on times where we wiped quite a few times. The balance between getting a couple prisms one run to getting multiple exotics and golf balls the next made each clear feel rewarding and exciting. This is the endgame experience I've been deeply looking for.

    I've put in 700hrs since getting into the game with Shadowkeep and I've never been this exciting to run strikes. I really hope Bungie sees this as an opportunity to have more special events like this!

    Can I ask: What IS the problem with hoarding mats, and why are Bungie against it?

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 04:17 PM PDT

    This has come from seeing a comment on another post about Enhancement Prisms and Ascendant Shards.

    Currently the max you can hold is 200 Prisms (50 in consumables, 50 in each postmaster) and 40 Shards (10/10/10/10). Now generally speaking nobody outside of Datto is going to ever hit this cap through regular gameplay. However then Bungie go and make Lake Of Shadows the Nightfall, AND make it double rewards. Now all of a sudden, ANYONE with a bit of time can max out their stuff easily.

    My question is this: Why is it not unlimited? Why CANT we hold 9999 Shards and 9999 Prisms? Bungie have made LoS x2 rewards KNOWING that we're all gonna farm, but why are we forced to stop? I know you can masterwork armour and delete it later, but why should we have to find a workaround? Why not just let us max out everything? It literally doesnt hurt anybody!

    Just Why?

    Boon of Vanguard and Boon of Crucible would be a lot more useful if you could use them anytime or if they were auto-used on activity completion

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 10:43 AM PDT

    It's too easy to forget about them altogether, but even if you do remember you still have to pause mid strike/match, which feels rather annoying.

    Personally, I would prefer if they were just auto-used on activity completion. Nobody buys them just to have them, and this way eliminates the headache of remembering to use them.

    Destiny 2 benchmarks for the Nvidia RTX 3080 versus other popular video cards

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 03:42 PM PDT

    Reviews are out for the base version of Nvidia's RTX 3080 Founder's Edition video cards, and if you're like me you probably just want to know if its worth the upgrade as someone that plays a lot of Destiny 2.

    I've went through tons of reviews and only managed to find one that bothered to benchmark Destiny 2 (many of them benchmarked Strange Brigade though, for those chomping at the bit for better performance there for some reason (TBF it is a fun game)) which is at Babletech

    Benchmarks

    TL;DR: It looks like the RTX 3080 can run the current version of Destiny 2 around 20-30 frames faster than RTX 2080 Ti and much higher gains for the 2080 Super and 1080 Ti.

    Can the Halloween consumable items "Jackolyte," "Bad Dreams," and "Whim of Rahool" from D1 make a come back in the Festival of the Lost 2020?

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 05:16 PM PDT

    They're not much other than cosmetic items that you found randomly at the end of patrols or strikes or enemy drops. But they did make your character have a pumpkin head and caused you to hear an occasional scream every once in awhile.

    Really made it feel more like Halloween.

    What to do with too many enhancement prisms!

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 03:25 PM PDT

    If you already have/are close to 50 enhancement prisms in both your inventory and postmaster and still wanna farm exotics on that character, here is how to put those enhancement prisms to use.

    1. If you haven't already, convert those extra prisms into ascendant shards,
    2. If you have already gotten ascendant shards, save your umbrals and focus your umbrals into armor, and upgrade that armor to plus 8, then dismantle it. Dismantling the armor will give you 6 enhancement cores, converting the 1 prism you put into the armor, into 3 enhancement cores. You could also clear old armor out from your vault and upgrade it as well.

    After the PS5 reveal, I hope Bungie can tell us what FOV, Resolution and frames it will support on the Series S/X and PS5

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 11:14 AM PDT

    I know the series S and X will have different max settings. I'd like to know if PS5 and the series X would be substantially different from each other. One thing I really hope they announce is the ability to change setting like FOV, Resolution and Frames if there are tradeoffs that can be made.

    getting tired of the whole bright engram duplicates...

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 01:23 PM PDT

    so i just got my 4th and i mean 4th blood runner sparrow... really bungie? 4th? all i'm missing are 3 emotes (chicken dinner, mic drop & guitar solo) and 1 ship (oviraptor) and yet i keep getting the same exotic things again and again. i won't be complaining if i get rewarded bright dust or some nice transmat effect but nope...

    i wonder why there's a dupe protection on ornaments, emotes and ghost projections but not sparrows, ships and ghost shells and when i mean dupe i mean exotic dupe

    it's been a shi.... storm since hitting rank 500

    Redrix v2.0: Crucible leaderboards & opponent stats.

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 10:58 AM PDT

    Hello Guardians!

    u/mikechambers and I are excited to announce that v2.0 or Redrix has been released to the iOS & Android app stores. This is a major update that adds features users have asked for since our first release: Leaderboards, and stats for other players. We also crushed a few bugs, and refined the UI.

    Ever wonder how that titan on the other team racked up 47 kills? Now you can look them up to steal their mojo.

    If you're new to Redrix, it's a beautiful (I may be biased) app for iOS and Android that gives you tools to track, analyze, and improve your Destiny 2 PvP skills! It's rich in vitamins and features:

    • Check the map you're flying into before you land to tweak your loadout
    • Recent games, stats, rank info, streak, and Trials passage info
    • Chart performance for a variety of critical stats
    • Post-game leaderboards (NEW)
    • Detailed match reports for teammates and opponents (NEW)
    • See who left early or joined late, and how long they were in the game
    • Quickly swap players and characters: check anyone's recent performance
    • Free and has no ads

    And before someone asks: Yes, we are looking at creating web and/or desktop versions of the app.

    You can get more info, see some screenshots, or find links to install it (free & no ads) at redrix.io. We'd love to hear your feedback/requests, either here or by joining us on Discord. If you like Redrix, and can take a moment to rate it on the app stores, we appreciate it a ton (we don't bug you with in app prompts to rate it).

    Double loot in Grandmaster NF, feels how rewards should drop in Grandmaster difficulty.

    Posted: 15 Sep 2020 11:33 PM PDT

    Excellent idea Bungie for double loot, specifically on the Lake of Shadows NF since it's one of the easiest NFs in the game. This is how loot should feel with the highest difficulty, where you can farm materials & drops for playing challenging content.

    I don't mind if the other Nightfalls drop down to normal loot again, but GM finally feels incredibly rewarding for the time invested. I wish this was the norm instead of a bonus weekend, and you should consider keeping double loot around just for GM. It really entices people to play and create high end loadouts.

    Store the seasonal currency(s) in the artifact subscreen rather than the inventory.

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 05:32 PM PDT

    I would love the actual seasonal vendor subscreen to be stored in the artifact but i know how you guys are about forcing us to come to Tower every 5 seconds.

    Storing the currencies in the artifact means you can still have a couple and add a bit more depth to the seasonal grind but not expect players to have numerous empty slots in the inventory. I actually think Worthy's bunker grind was the best version so far, with it's two distinct currencies but it was a pain having to make room for both.

    The holiday oven concept that became the Rune chalice was already in the game. You had this cool system of all these different runes but realised we could never hope to store them in the inventory.

    Also i've kind of forgotten about the artifact since i got oppressive darkness. Would add to fantasy if players were interacting with it more, even if it was just to check if they had enough Tainted Protein Smears to buy a Pungent engram.

    Our Discord Saying Good Bye to the Leviathan

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 02:09 PM PDT

    If you farming NF and you LFG, please go to Tribute Hall before sharing joining code.

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 06:51 AM PDT

    This way, only two people can join on you, not twenty fife, hungry dudes.

    It's getting out of hand, when bunch of guys use the same code.

    EDIT: some people are missing the point. I said TH only cos you can have three people in your fireteam. This way, you don't get 5+people joining on you at same time. I know you get full ammo and stuff, but again, that's not the point.

    A guide for players who have everything

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 09:03 AM PDT

    TL;DR if you have everything and still wanna play. Here's what you can do:

    1. Weekly bounties

    2. PoH, vault the final drop

    3. Weekly clan exp for cores

    4. Max bounties in November

    5. Go help others

    ———————————————-

    Hello follow guardians. With the Beyond Light delay finally starting to take effect I figured I would give a little guide for players who were more or less done with the season, but still want to play the game. Here are some things you can still do, even if you have everything. There's not a lot, but it's a solid days worth of playing.

    It's also worth noting by everything, I mean everything you personally want. Titles, exotics, god rolled weapons and armor, upgrade materials etc. this guide assumes you have everything you could possibly want, and are just looking for something to do between now and FotL

    1. Weekly pvp, gambit, and strike bounties. This is a good way to build up your Bright Dust reserves before FotL and Beyond Light. You can get 1200 per character just by doing the weeklies. You can get an additional 150 per character by grabbing 5 of each vendors repeatable bounties, making you 1350 per character or 4050 a week. I don't care if you have 30k dust, you could always use more.

    2. The weekly Pit of Heresy run. As I mentioned earlier, I'm assuming you have maxed out your upgrade mats, however, you can easily throw the PoH masterwork drops in your vault and save them for future upgrade materials. You can also use PoH to activate the Shared Wisdom buff and turn in all the bounties you've done. This should earn you between 2-3 ranks per character. Which combined with the rank ups you'll get completing the bounties should be enough to give you a bright engram on each character, every week.

    3. Complete the weekly clan experience requirement. As of making his guide it's actually bugged but once it comes back it will reward you with 7 enhancement cores per character if you're at clan rank 3/4. While you might be maxed out of prisms and shards, cores are likely another story.

    4. This will mainly only apply once we get closer to November. Max out your bounties and hold them until beyond light for a few seasonal ranks and free lvls off the jump. This is something I've done every season, and it seems to have become a pretty common thing, so I don't feel much need to explain much further

    And lastly

    1. Help others finish their stuff. Take some people through whisper or outbreak. Teach some noobs the dungeon, get them xenophage or help a guy finish his thorn quest. Let's be real, if you've got everything, and still want to play, this is the absolute best way to spend that time. And you're likely skilled enough to do so, whether you believe it or not.

    That's about it. That's everything I can think for you to do, if you already have everything.

    Why don't Emblems work this way?

    Posted: 16 Sep 2020 07:56 PM PDT

    Emblems are the "I was there" of Destiny. They tell the story of your guardian. For the love of all things holy, why arent they tied to your Bungie account? We should be able to show off our D1 emblems in D2. People who migrated from PS or XB (pre cross-save) should have the emblems earned on those platforms. Emblems from the Bungie Store work this way so it seems to be possible, but I'm not a dev. Is there a technical reason why this cant happen? Seems like easy veteran fan service. Hell, I would take it over a vault space increase, maybe.

    With all of the hype new games coming out on the new consoles, I hope that beyond light feels like a D3.

    D2 could use a serious QoL and infrastructure upgrade.
