    I just received an email from bungie advertising Forsaken and Shadowkeep as 50% off and I think that’s some pretty scummy marketing.

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 12:24 PM PST

    As it currently stands, that content offers gear that is no longer useable in the game. In my opinion they either need to add gear, or make it free. If I was a new player and paid for that content I would be extremely disappointed to see the gear is no longer relevant in the current state of the game.

    Edit: Thanks for the awards! I just saw that email and made the post, glad it's getting some attention. This isn't knocking the game, I'm having a lot of fun with beyond light, and I've been playing for a while. I just think this is scummy to advertise to new players. There's no mention of the guns and armor being sunset in the email.

    Stop ignoring champions. If you kill all the champions you get better rewards.

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 12:57 PM PST

    I don't know if its just my experience but when I am running a nightfall or the empire hunts, people just run past the champions trying to speed run the activity. If you kill all the champions your chances of getting better rewards at the end of the activity go up drastically.

    Bungie, PLEASE add a fast travel point in Eventide Ruins

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 01:02 PM PST

    I've spent a TON of time on Europa since Beyond Light launched and I love exploring the planet. But on a day-to-day basis, it's fairly annoying to spend so much time driving around. If I'm deep in the sides of the map, like Creation or Well of Infinitude and I want to go to Riis Reborn, I actually fast travel back to Variks and drive all the way up because it's faster than running to somewhere I can use my sparrow. It's especially obvious in missions that require you to go back and forth across the map from Creation to camp to Riis Reborn, back to camp, to Asterion Abyss, etc.

    Between driving around, going to different planets to pick up bounties, and inventory management, the amount of time spent not actually playing the game is getting excessive.

    I kind of hate that Shaw Han now talks to me like I'm an idiot during the Navota strike

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 07:22 AM PST

    I ran through the New Light quest on my main because I wanted that fresh hit of nostalgia but didn't realize it was going to alter dialogue in other aspects of the game.

    My friends who didn't do the New Light missions only hear Zavala giving dialogue during the Navota strike while my guardian hears "Keep those nerves steady, I know how they can be" like I haven't killed every god figure I've come across.

    It's irritating on top of the fact that I already don't really like Shaw Han.

    Either fix what counts as “stasis final blows” or never make objectives with “stasis final blows”

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 12:01 PM PST

    Sincerely, warlock getting fragments in strikes

    Stasis itself, for the most part, does not kill the enemy. It's always either the shatter or you shooting the frozen enemy that counts as the kill. Having objectives with stasis final blows feels like an absolute chore because shatter does not count, and grenades don't do any damage. I think anything affected by stasis and then killed should count as stasis final blows so that we can use perks like hands on and ashes to assets.

    You know a raid is good when you look forward to actually playing the raid instead of just the loot.

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 09:04 AM PST

    It's how I've felt about Deep Stone Crypt so far and it's why I loved Scourge of the Past so much. I really hope Bungie continues this trend of making sure the raids are fun to play through.

    DARCI needs to either be a special weapon or be buffed in one way or another.

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 02:15 AM PST

    I find it ridiculous that DARCI is still a heavy sniper when there are special snipers like Cloudstrike that are better in every way shape and form.

    It has the practicality of a legendary sniper, yet it takes up an exotic slot and is a heavy, which means less ammo drops as well. Who even uses this thing anymore? It would be better if it was in the special slot where it belongs or got a buff in one area or another or just flat-out buffed.

    Bungie, please be more clear about which quests are account-wide versus character-specific.

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 03:23 PM PST

    Upgrades for the Cryptolith Lure are account-wide, but accumulating charges is character-specific. Variks' Sabotage quests are account-wide, but instead of just appearing in your alts' quest log, you still have to fly down to Europa and pick them up from him on each character. Meanwhile, Born in Darkness appears in the quest log right next to Sabotage, but is character-specific. Blast from the Past is account-wide, but Tex Mechanica Tournament isn't (even though they're both for Chaperone).

    Worst of all are Elsie's Umbral quests to get Fragments. You can only get two a week per account, but the quests themselves are character-specific, buuuuut the actual Fragments themselves are account-wide once unlocked. What?!

    None of this is clearly delineated in the game itself. Heck, I'm not even sure the details above are correct, this is just what I've pieced together through trial-and-error. I've been playing since the D1 Beta, I have seen every single iteration of the quest/bounty screen, but I don't I've ever been this confused about account vs character. I can only imagine how disorienting it must be fore New Lights.

    I don't know what the solution should be, but even as a Grizzled Old Light, I'd appreciate more clarity.

    Make the Tornado of the Hunter stasis Super count Towards the "Stasis Super Final Blows"

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 06:56 AM PST

    The Gambit Stasis Fragment mission "Umbral Riches" and its task to go for Stasis Super final blows as a hunter is just Annoying. I've now played Three gambits, in each i Used my super Atleast once on a Group of 10+ Enemies and i have a total of 7 Stasis super final blows for the mission. Its really Frustrating to see all of those enemies Die from the tornado and not getting counted towards those Stasis super kills.

    Can Banshee stop requiring old planetary materials in both upgrade core slots?

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 09:21 AM PST

    For the past 2 days, Banshee has required old planetary materials to buy upgrade cores in both slots. I have tons of materials from all the planets still available, but no way to add to the old planetary material totals through gameplay like before. Can Banshee just have old planetary materials required in one slot only and have the other slot be only the currently still available planets? Just make it to where he can never require old planetary materials in both slots for this season until the old mats are phased out next season.

    Edit: For those saying go to Spider, he has not sold any of the old mats. If we could get them from him, we would. Honestly same rules should be asked from him, have him sell 2 old mats and 2 new mats at all times. Doesn't matter how we buy them as long as they are at least offered daily.

    I just wanted to point out that the Vex are the only species we haven't defeated at their best.

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 07:17 PM PST

    We fought Oryx, the most powerful hive god by far and beat him and his army of Taken, we've decimated every crazy enough Fallen to call themselves Kell even with whatever OP BS the come at us with and we defeated Ghaul and the 501st I mean the Red Legion, the best fighters in the entire Cabal empire. The only time we've ever really dug in deep against the Vex was Vault of Glass and D1's vanilla campaign and neither of those times was it ever said that these Vex are remarkably powerful but instead just some dudes vibing and we murdered them for doing so. The only time in all of Destiny where it felt like the Vex were actually worried was during the Lament quest. It was weird to see the Vex deploy en masse as they did to get Giant Robot Hitler Head. They kind of looked like the B1's from Star Wars as well, it was weird, but made me think "Oh shit, the Vex are actually pretty upset about this." Other then that I imagine every time we blow up some Vex stuff they just shrug and say "It's already done in the future so I guess we couldn't get it done today, oh well, better luck next time." then skip along to do whatever they do like eat space Doritos and watch sitcoms.

    BANSHEE IS SELLING THE GRASP OF THE WARMIND MOD!

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 02:19 PM PST

    This is a MUST have mod if you use warmind cells at all. It allows you to PICK UP warmind cells and throw them once. If you've ever cleared a room of adds only to have the last one spawn a cell, like me, then this mod is for you! I missed out on this during season of the Worthy and I am SO happy I finally got it! Grab it if you need it guardians!

    BUNGiE, can we get a Europa Crucible map with blizzards?

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 12:30 PM PST

    Blizzards that roll in, that put value on gear that highlights enemies, and bright waypoints in the form of capture points?

    Or, you know, doesn't hafta be *that* creative... just new maps, period, would be nice.

    I srsly tired of seeing blueberries using a double primary but didn't even put on champion mod. I've seen two blueberries didn't even respond my team chat and using supers for an unstoppable champion. I don't even know if they can read at all

    I don’t think HVTs should despawn when you are engaged with them.

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 03:46 AM PST

    It's really frustrating and jarring for an HVT to simply leave when you had widdled it down to low health. Or had just started engaging it.

    I get that they're on a timer, but if a Guardian enters combat with an HVT, I think the game should put a pin on its timer. If the Guardian dies and the HVT is past it's departure time, then it should be allowed leave.

    The inconsistency in fragment slots between classes defeats the purpose of customization

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 03:22 PM PST

    Why exactly do Warlocks get 4, Titans get 3 and Hunters get 2 fragment slots? Why isn't it just a flat number across to board so that people can experiment with using multiple fragments.

    I also don't forsee new Aspects coming out for at least a season and this random limitation doesn't allow each class to fully experience the new system.

    Lament looses tracking on the target you are attacking constantly

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 03:43 PM PST

    It has been so annoying trying to hit champions and bosses and the heavy attack just sends you past them and you hit the air. Just today I was using it against Navota and the heavy attack launched me past her so fast I hit the wall and died.

    Getting blue armor from a legendary lost sector is one of the worst feelings ever.

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 03:50 PM PST

    I've been grinding today's lost sector for the helmet, and at least to me it isn't particularly easy. It really is annoying to complete it and get blue armor. I honestly would rather get nothing or straight materials than stuff that clogs my inventory.

    If you are ever bored and want to feel like a god.....

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 09:51 PM PST

    Go head to the Cosmodrone and help out the level 1 blueberrys. Even a person with an average load out will seem like a god when near the newly born guardians. You and a solo baby guardian taking on a public event is crazy fun. It gives you an extra objective of: "Protect your baby guardian". Try to make the event go heroic and whittle the boss down till it is a few hits from dying, then let your baby get the last hit in. Fun for you and makes new players feel good! Have a good one guardians!

    I figured out why I love this game

    Posted: 27 Nov 2020 12:51 AM PST

    The unspoken connections we all have.

    I was patrolling Europa and I noticed I was getting shot at by another guardian. I look towards the gunfire and I see a hunter next to a public event flag spam crouching as if to say "can you help me". Of course I helped.

    This isn't the only time this has happened. Back during guardian games I was doing forges for medals. I was solo queueing and me and the two randos had a unspoken agreement. We would not throw any balls. All of us had stuff to kill and things to do so we stuck to our separate sections in the forge and got the timer up to around 5 mins.

    My favorite is when a new quest or something comes out and you can random queue and almost always be with someone else doing the same thing. In which case you can both help each other out.

    I've always wondered why I love this game so much. Why I have so many hours. Everyone says it cause the community but that's always been to broad for me. I assumed it's cause the music but it's kinda fallen off for me. The art and environments are still here but I don't want to explore them as much as destiny 1. Now it's clicked for me and by community they meant this.

    When a new raid comes out we all work together to figure it out. When more story comes out we all work together to put the pieces together. I always thought the phrase "guardians are stronger together" was somewhat cheesy but I've realized it's quite literal.

    So thanks. Thanks for lending your ear and thanks for being one of if not the best community's ever.
