| Bungie just buffed cipher drop rates again (2x per activity now) Posted: 09 Oct 2020 05:04 PM PDT https://twitter.com/BungieHelp/status/1314717668981710849 Notably they won't drop from gambit or non-playlist strikes though. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 09 Oct 2020 07:17 AM PDT Seriously, Bungie did something to fix this issue within 48 hours of it cropping up, which is awesome. It's apparently still being monitored, which is also nice, because ciphers still feel like they don't drop often, at least for a casual player. I'm a New Light who bought the game to help with Covid boredom, and this is my first FotL. I really like everything about this event, but I still need to play (normally; crucible, strikes ect) for around 2-3 hours before getting the 2-4 ciphers that make a forest run enjoyable. The umbral decoder is letting more casual players get access to great rolls on some neat guns without going insane on the grind... why not let us look at rolls on some non-meta ARs without so much suffering? The tower looks great, though! EDIT: The drop rate has been buffed again. Thanks for the communication u/Cozmo23... everyone else... looks like meat's back on the menu!

| Posted: 09 Oct 2020 08:29 AM PDT Been too many times where I join a KWTD group and then no one wants to take a minute to talk strategy and then they get all pissy when we die. As if there's only one way to run each encounter and we should all be able to read minds. It's a raid. Expect to die some. Expect to have to talk strategy. Especially when dealing with any strangers. No matter how experienced they/you are. People out here need some patience and realistic expectations lol [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Borealis and Hardlight should let us choose its default energy in the inventory screen. Posted: 09 Oct 2020 02:00 PM PDT This seems like such an enormous oversight that would make these mechanics less cumbersome in PvP. Especially for Borealis, which actually might have some viability in Crucible again if we could make a tactical choice with it like : " Oh, I'm against a team of Dawn blades in trials, I'll set Borealis to Solar default to help me fight the supers." Having to spawn and swap the mag TWICE for solar, for example, is literally the difference between life and death in Crucible. These weapons have been overlooked for what is a really simple mechanic in my opinion. Even in PvE, going into any kind of activity with Intel about what we're facing and setting our energy type, why wasn't this shipped with the exotic? It seems so obvious yet we have to hot swap our mags in a spawn and those precious seconds can mean the difference. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| You don’t need to go to Xur today, Hunters! Posted: 09 Oct 2020 10:35 AM PDT Yeah, you Hunters got shafted today. Shit exotic. Don't bother going to Xur. Don't even go to Xur for the engram, judging by your exotic today Xur doesn't like you this week. Uhh, don't bother checking social media for Xur news either, you know you can trust me! Whatever you guys do, just ignore Xur this week ok? Just use your precious time to grind out this event instead! (Please I'm begging you) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 09 Oct 2020 08:34 AM PDT I have been trying to get a particular issue noticed by Bungie since update 2.9.0 (the controller remapping update). At first I referred to it as the dismounting sparrow issue but I came to notice it as not just an issue with dismounting sparrows but one that also affects those situations where you scan an out of reach item or area with your ghost. So if I was to summarise the issue, square no longer functions when you have your ghost out. I have been shot down with my persistence on this matter. People have been telling me to just remap the button or that it is working as intended etc... I am telling you now, this is a bug. Let's recreate it... This is assuming you have default controls, i.e. no controller remapping and I will be speaking from a PS4 perspective but I have had confirmation that this issue exists across platforms. Go to any patrol space and jump on your sparrow. While on your sparrow, bring your ghost out as if you were checking bounty progress. Leave the ghost out and and press square to dismount... doesn't work right? but you can simply press x instead... problem solved? No. Go find a scannable that you can "scan from far away". A good example of this Uldren's ship in the Ma'adim Subterrane Lost Sector in Hellas Basin. When near by, your ghost will bleep as if there is a scannable nearby that you can interact with. When you pull out your ghost and point it at the area there will be a kind of camera-zoom-ui-overlay with a "scan" or "inspect" prompt and yep you guessed it, it does not work. Now, yes, you can just walk over to the ship and inspect without pulling your ghost first but there are some scannables throughout the world that you can't walk up to. You need the "out of reach" scan function. Yes, you can use X to jump off your sparrow instead but years of muscle memory does not adjust to this well. I've fell off so many cliffs as a result. I have reported this so many times on the Bungie forums and a couple of times on here but I am getting radio silence. I know it's a small thing but it's still an unacknowledged bug. These functions all worked prior to 2.9.0 Edit: I see a lot of upvotes as I have done in the past when reporting this but can I suggest you all go and post about it on the bungie forums because multiple reports will get some attention. Edit 2: Thank you for the awards! Hopefully we can get this bug noticed and fixed! Edit 3: So far, hundreds of upvotes and multiple awards but still no acknowledgment. Keep this relevant so we can get a response. Edit 4: It seems from the below that there is also a delay in dismounting sparrows upon summoning or entering load zones that wasn't there before 2.9.0 [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Zavala dying would be sadder than Cayde. Posted: 09 Oct 2020 01:23 AM PDT This might be an unpopular opinion, but I genuinely feel that if our annoying, blue dad of 6 years + was to be killed in the story, sometime down the line, it could be sadder than the death of Cayde-6 at the hands of the barons/Uldren. There has been a lot of foreshadowing going on this season of Zavala turning his back on the Traveller (which he does, literally, in lore released recently, while speaking to Ikora) and I feel like with the way he's been portrayed the past while, he really has the most to lose - himself essentially. With big Zav losing all hope in everything he's believed in for over a century, he's really at rock bottom, and this could turn the stoic defender of the Last City into something we'll never have seen before. However, if this, or any other developments coming our way, leads to his death, then I feel like it could be the most tragic thing to happen to a Destiny main character; to be so low, and then die; to feel so alone, and have his light taken from him. I loved Cayde's arc, especially where Ace comes into it, but I feel like Zavala could end up giving us something akin to true despair. Those feels. EDIT: Some have asked about the recent lore entry Bungie gave us - https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/49488 EDIT 2: This somewhat turned into an appreciation post for our Big Blue Dad. Can you hear us Zavala?! Can you?! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Final Interference Mission is an excellent Boss Mission Posted: 09 Oct 2020 03:31 AM PDT This Boss Fight illustrates that a good boss fight isn't necessarily one with complex mechanics and difficulty. It just needs a perfect *setting*: Good music, in-fight dialogue and awesome scenery [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 09 Oct 2020 06:40 AM PDT Just taking into account the two perk columns and ignoring barrels and magazines, Horror Story has 7 in each and Werewolf has 11 in the first and 12 in the second. A big chunk of them are pretty shitty too, so if you're hoping for an outlaw kill clip werewolf you've got a 1 in 132 chance - and that's after getting one to drop from the chests and after getting ciphers for the chests themselves. So far I've opened 29 chests and have had 4 Werewolves and 3 horror stories. All shite. My best werewolf has 4th time's the charm and unrelenting. Ugh... Now if I could just infuse the ones I've had from previous years or even get hold of the curated rolls again, I'd stop moaning. Edit: If you've got them before just pull the curated rolls from collections with a 1360 cap. The perk columns are also wrong in the API. Essentially the grind for them is still shit, but I now don't care. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Drop rate for decoders have been further increased Posted: 09 Oct 2020 05:03 PM PDT https://twitter.com/BungieHelp/status/1314717668981710849 We've further adjusted drop rates for Cipher Decoders so that two drop per activity completion when applicable. We'll continue to monitor feedback over the weekend. Please note, Ciphers do NOT drop from the following: enemy kills, Gambit, Forges, and non-playlist Strikes.

| Posted: 09 Oct 2020 05:56 PM PDT One Eyed Mask for Titans Wormhusk Crown for Hunters Felwinters Helm for Warlocks which is honestly nothing compared to the rest of his stock this week Wardcliff Coil for the weapon God help us all...

| Posted: 09 Oct 2020 06:36 AM PDT I have a few sets that are missing one piece, as I must've missed the week it was sold for bright dust. Maybe just allow it if you only need one more piece. It would be a perfect way to encourage us to blow thru our bright dust before the new expansion! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I liked the Mod Commentary parts of the TWAB, more of this please Posted: 09 Oct 2020 01:09 PM PDT Telling us you've buffed or nerfed stuff is great and all, but I also like to see the thought process behind the decisions, so this TWAB was especially nice IMO [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Meaning of New Exotic Titan Helmet Posted: 09 Oct 2020 09:56 AM PDT When i was watching new trailer, i noticed something on new titan helm called "Precious Scars". There is a Japanese art called "Kintsugi". Its repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with precious metals like gold, platinium or silver. It means "Sometimes in the process of repairing things that have broken, we actually create something more unique, beautiful and resilient." Thats why it called Precious Scars. (Maybe its connected with Satou Clan idk but i just wanted to share this information) Edit: if anyone wrote this before me, i can delete it.

| Ciphers should be a guaranteed drop after completion of any milestone/pinnacle activity. Posted: 09 Oct 2020 06:40 AM PDT Whether this is implemented now or in later events, if there's a barrier mechanic to rewards (e. g. Keys, ciphers, baubles) during these temporary events, those items should drop from completing milestone/pinnacle activities. Do you 4 weekly PvP games? That's a cipher. Complete Gambit? Another cipher. Strikes, Nightfall, Pit or Prophecy? Cipher, cipher, cipher, cipher. The grind will exist but this way players who just play the game will continue to consistently be able to participate in this and future limited timed events. Now if this isn't the route Bungie wants to take, how about we just increase cipher drop rates per week throughout the events life?

| Remember to get your Mercury bounties before entering the Haunted Forest! Posted: 09 Oct 2020 11:54 AM PDT The Haunted Forest is part of the Infinite Forest and that is part of Mercury. It's a good chance to double-dip on bounties. Edit: Oops. Wrong forest at first. Had a Harry Potter moment. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| You can farm a large chunk of triumph score in the ascendant challenge this weekend. Posted: 09 Oct 2020 08:37 AM PDT This week's challenge is Gardens of Esila, which has the pool of light to let you spam abilities to defeat the trio of knights. If you're a completionist and are looking to get some good legacy triumph score, you can infinitely farm thrall in this area to progress on various ability kills for account triumphs. Simply get into one of the trees surrounding the center area after dunking the 3 orbs, and you can bait a knight into getting stuck in the tree. This will prevent the Knight from despawning. Kill the other two knights, then simply farm Thrall to your heart's content. Put on a podcast, movie, music, etc. and be prepared to farm. You can always get more tincture of queens foil by visiting the skull in the confluence and buying it for 50 baryon bough. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Bungie is setting up a better, long term, less confusing, solution to mods and mod sockets. Posted: 09 Oct 2020 07:58 AM PDT Back in May, Bungie announced the following :
https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/49027 Their answer to this? The Combat Style Mod Socket. Bungie posted the following yesterday: Combat Mods
https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/49630 Emphasized the top paragraph for importance. AKA - the slot that is coming starting in S12 is expected to rotate as new "Combat Mechanics" release. Right now, that's Charged with Light and Warmind Cells. Right now, I literally have to save bits and pieces from each season to remember the +1/-1 rule of which mods I can socket into each pieces, which is a brain sore to remember everything. I have spend many hours going through my gear and selectively choosing which ones to keep and take away. Thank the community for DIM. Regardless, the longer term solution to this "problem" is that Bungie only has to changed the "Combat Mod Socket" Seasonally or Annually going forward. Because of Max Power Level (Sunsetting), they won't need to create a "Legacy" mod slot updated each year. They can just adjust the Combat Mod Socket to whatever the latest mechanics are and we can use builds around that. Think of it like a long term Artifact Mods. So, will it be in your interest to get new gear with this new updated system? Yes. Right now it doesn't look much different because our current gear (From S9,S10,S11) can slot mostly the same mods and will for the next season or two (which makes sense, since we're transitioning into a new year) -- but that Legacy Mod Slot is static. It won't change, it's locked in. The new system will allow for that. So when Bungie releases new "Combat Mods" along side Charged with Light and Warmind Cells, I would expect those to go into this new slot, which is why you'll want to transition over to the S12 and new Raid Gear Sets. I think this solution will have more players experimenting with mods and build crafting in the game. PS - and adding this slot into all Exotics in the game? That's icing on the cake. And those mods on your Exotics will also get adjusted in this slot as time goes forward. [link] [comments] |
