Final raid encounter is just beating up a crazy guy in a wheelchair while he throws trash at you Posted: 29 Nov 2020 01:03 PM PST Change my mind Edit: updoot go brrrrrr submitted by /u/Sterling770 [link] [comments]

Daily reminder that sunsetting armor is still an impossibly stupid decision Posted: 29 Nov 2020 10:21 AM PST With how rare good rolled armor is with good stat distributions AND how expensive it is to masterwork even one set of armor, sunsetting armor just shouldn't be a thing. It can easily take several months to get a good loadout for just one of the three affinities, so putting an expiration date on armor just doesn't work. submitted by /u/legokid2002 [link] [comments]

Raids should drop end game materials to help with the material economy Posted: 29 Nov 2020 06:38 PM PST Given the time investment raids are for most players, I feel like it's not insane to ask for a chance to drop endgame materials like ascendant shards or enhancement prisms. They don't have to be guaranteed drops, but the addition would be much appreciated. Maybe for each encounter there is a chance to drop enhancement prisms and ascendent shards can drop from the finale encounter. Maybe having a flawless run can increase the drop chance for each encounter to give an additional incentive to run and perfect the raids. submitted by /u/DannyTwoSpoons [link] [comments]

We should never have to grind for the same piece of gear just for it to have another infusion cap. Posted: 29 Nov 2020 03:58 PM PST It makes me feel insulted, and as if my time invested is worthless. Why should I grind for another nation of beasts if I want to use it for another season? Why are my Iron Banner weapons from last year sunset, if the ones from last season are literally the same? Just makes me dissapointed the fact that this is something we have to ask for... submitted by /u/Pynwyno [link] [comments]

Bungie should make high stat roll armor more common if they expect us to replace our current loadouts, which we spent over a year building, in just this season before our armor is sunset. Posted: 29 Nov 2020 06:43 AM PST In a nutshell: you were going to give us new strong stuff and get rid of the old OP stuff. Fine, but right now the old stuff is disappearing and the gear I'm getting is 60 at best. Getting the right roll you're after is hard enough. Especially when you rarely get any high stat roll armor. submitted by /u/sgnir2 [link] [comments]

Solo Atraks-1, Fallen Exo + Comprehensive Writeup Posted: 29 Nov 2020 12:16 PM PST Video link I know the final few minutes of this were posted yesterday (and I appreciate the enthusiasm there!) but I figured I'd also go ahead and post the full run and dive into some explanations I thought were interesting. First though I'd like to thank some major strategic contributors from Twitch - this section will be a little lengthy but it does have some insights as well, so skip at your own risk if you're here for details. Big Thanks to: Kog was the first to notice the way to determine the right Atraks from her replications, which is by looking for small changes in the health bar. He was also the first to suggested a ranged stun for the third stun, which was a strategic breakthrough. These critical contributions made the run possible, but I also have Kog to thank for a huge number of minor optimizations. His investment in the challenge really improved my outlook on it, too, so huge thanks to Kog for his above and beyond help. Fryco pointed me in the direction of mods that relieved a ton of pressure from adds and allowed me to focus near single-mindedly on the rest of the mechanics. Specifically, arc resist mods are just crazy good in this encounter and I didn't know that, but the enhanced operator augment mod is actually insane here too. With this setup I was nearly invincible, it took massive misplays for me to die to adds. Wildfire corrected my understanding of the wipe mechanic's timing. I was under the impression that a strict timer started at the beginning of the encounter, but Wildfire pointed out that the timer actually starts after every stun. This helped correct a huge, needless amount of rushing on my end that made consistency possible in a way it would have taken forever to arrive at on my own. GrimAgent suggested crouching to cleanse the replication from myself, which seemed to make the self-cleanse "hitbox" more forgiving. It's hard to overstate the importance of consistent cleanses, but runs depends entirely on it - a slow cleanse (we're talking ~an extra second in a lot of cases) means one less guess on the boss, which reduces chances of success by 25% on the spot. A "very slow" cleanse that's 3 seconds late is a wipe. It's a kind of wonky mechanic that needs to be done near perfectly, so a little extra forgiveness with it helped massively. Grim also was around for a lot of the pre-attempt theorycrafting to get runs off the ground. Also thanks to Grim for pretty much all graphical stuff that went into the video (thumbnail and RNG explanation image). Butters also helped with quite a bit of testing during the early phases when I still needed a person to rely on for some help in the encounter while I was attempting various solo experiments, so thank you very much for that help Butters. Faldo_ found the best cleanse spot, which was the doorway of the airlock itself. There aren't many places to check within the airlock and I had tried what I thought was everything with varying levels of success, but Faldo's approach turned out by-far best. Interestingly, the doorway is too short to cleanse on without crouching, so it seems like this development came in two small steps for a major improvement to consistency. Faldo is also the first player to achieve final stand in this solo which is a huge achievement. One thing I found that I'm personally satisfied with is the "soccer" strategy of cleansing two replications at once after juggling them. For a long time I was cleansing replications in individual airlocks after juggling them (for speed), but after deciding that keeping more airlocks functional was a higher priority, the cleanse-one-kick-one approach was my idea. This whole mechanic came to my complete satisfaction because the replications sometimes bounce away immediately after stuns, which I complained about as "the wrong time to play soccer" every time it caused a wipe (which wasn't uncommon), so to have the kicking become part of the intended strategy was serendipitous to say the least. Kyro and Lemons suggested I hold onto my super for movement reasons instead of using it to clear servitors. While I don't use that strategy in this run, it was an impactful change that allowed me to continue runs that would have otherwise been impossible. Disco from my day 1 raid team was the first person I heard mention the idea of self-cleansing with ricochet rounds. I'm not sure how many people thought of this or if crediting anyone is really appropriate, but Disco considered using RR to self-cleanse in the middle of our world's first raid attempt, and I think that's very clever of him to have noticed so early on. And finally, my gf Vanessa who had to babysit our dog and let me game until odd hours of the night so I could run this to my heart's content. A lot of others suggested I use Lament skating for speed, but I prioritized consistency with what I am already familiar with over gaining a small (but significant) boost to speed that would disrupt my intuition. Overall this run is so heavily dependent on speed that anyone attempting it should at a minimum be comfortable with everything I do, but mastering sword movement on top of that would be a big help. Interesting details about the run: I'm gonna start this section with the two most frequently asked questions: In order to determine the correct replication without scanner, you damage the replications as much as you can without actually forcing wrong stun / wipe. By doing this, the correct replication will take noticeable damage on its health bar, but incorrect ones won't wipe you. This doesn't entirely eliminate RNG, but it increases your odds enough to make this a realistic challenge. In order to cleanse the replications from yourself as operator, you use ricochet rounds against a wall in the airlock. This is probably the most interesting solo we've ever had in Destiny in my opinion. Without necessarily speaking to its difficulty, it has everything a solo challenge has ever had in Destiny bundled together. There is a major RNG barrier to success (which I'll get into in much more detail), there is a incredible stress test on movement speed and precision, inaccurate shots are often punished with a wipe, and anything short of the best build quickly begins to push the run into the realms of impossibility. On top of these factors, the narrow timeline for elevator cleanses combined with the 4-stun DPS cycle seems to almost suggest Bungie deliberately intended to keep this option possible, which is probably just a coincidence, but it's amazing to see exactly how narrowly this challenge avoids impossibility. These opinions on the run are absolutely subject to change if any more strategic breakthroughs are found post-completion, but barring that possibility this challenge is the ultimate gauntlet of Destiny mastery and dedication. I'll expand on all those points one at a time, with RNG last because it's the most interesting to me. On movement: As far as movement is concerned, every wasted instant hurts your chances of success substantially during the DPS phase. An icarus dash without a boost, an unnecessary clamber, a bodyblock from a wretch, or any other miniscule thing is likely to reduce your chance of completion by 25% on the spot. This is because, while stuns in space are effectively a given when playing well, you need to immediately cleanse the replication in an airlock and get back to the orbital elevator pods afterwards. During this window, any tiny mistake robs you of a guess on the base side replications - hence, even very small movement hiccups can reduce chances of success by 25% (or 33% on the second stun). In my runs I was not able to test all replications at base side even a single time - even when my space side stun was as convenient as possible - so you're going as fast as possible to fight for the best odds, not to guarantee success. Movement hiccups after a base side stun are a bit more forgiving, but small mistakes there can compromise your ability to pick a good position to stun from on space side. Ideally on a third stun you are able to stun from right next to an active airlock, but getting into position takes time - if you trip up base side, it's likely you'll have to stun from a suboptimal position for the third stun, which greatly reduces your chances of making it to the final stun in base afterwards. It's hard to overstate how impactful even tiny movement slip-ups can be in this run. Also, this run is subject to the typical nuances most Destiny challenges are, such as kicking around replication instead of picking it up for no apparent reason / sword attacks tracking to enemies instead of the direction you're facing / etc. Again, noting that I'll go deeper into this later, RNG can make your forgiveness for movement better or worse, ranging from totally impossible, to absolutely unforgiving, to "please don't let me mess this up, this is as 'easy' as it gets." In so many words, your speed and precision with movement are major decisive factors in your odds of success. On aim: While there isn't much to say about aim, there are two critical points where accuracy is do-or-die. During any "testing" of the bosses, a missed grenade launcher shot is a major time waste. This, like with movement, can easily mean a single missed shot reduces your chances of success by 25% or 33% depending on the phase. For example, if I am going base side after a good 3rd space stun and I've already killed close right base replicant, I still need to test two of the three remaining among left, middle, and far right base side replicants. The optimal way to do this is to stand by middle and shoot left without moving (as there's a 2/3 chance I'll be moving farther from the real one if I do, and I still have time to get to left if it's the correct one since it's my first guess), then shoot right while moving toward it (guess is now a 50/50 and I'm running low on time so I want to be as close to both options as possible), then either attack right or middle after I've ruled out the others. In this scenario, if I miss the shot on the left or right side replicants, my odds of success drop from 100% (4th stun is guaranteed by accurate gameplay following a good RNG 3rd stun) down to 66% on the spot. You simply do not have time redos with the base side stuns, so precision in aiming here is absolutely critical. Also, I assume it sounds easy enough to hit a boss with a grenade launcher, but it really is more difficult than it sounds, particularly when the boss randomly meanders behind partial cover. As with movement, good RNG can help relieve the punishment of poorly aimed shots, but this is a challenge in which you want to rely on RNG as little as possible since you're forced to rely on it to a significant extent by design. The second place where aiming is critical is during the cleanse. As stated before, you cleanse by using ricochet rounds against the airlock door while crouched for best consistency. What's not immediately obvious about this is that a slightly angled shot (left or right of direct center) will be a miss that doesn't cleanse you. Same with too high or too low. The cleanse happens as follows: get to airlock door-> crouch -> push yourself up against the door -> aim directly at it, at the right height, on center, without any clear visual indication you're aiming at the right spot -> fire -> trust you got it right and keep moving. The hitbox isn't exactly "tiny" per se, but it is absolutely small enough that your aim needs to be careful and deliberate every time you cleanse. On builds: I have never actually felt the need to perfect a modded loadout for my character before this challenge. During other difficult runs like GM nightfall solos I would use the necessities and wing it from there, but in this case, mods and gear were insanely important. Kinetic weapon: Needs to be ricochet rounds. Strong preference for mid range (so not SMGs ideally) and high RoF (so not HCs ideally) for cleansing and optimal engagement range. Feeding frenzy is a valuable perk since you can't crit shanks, and rampage or swashbuckler are ideal damage perks since you don't want to waste time reloading (particularly wearing transversives, which improves speed and is therefore probably best). I used a False Promises that dropped in the middle of my early attempts in the most serendipitous imaginable fashion At the end of my runs, it had exactly 8000 kills on it. Prior to that I used a RR/Rapid hit/Kill Clip Sacred Provenance, which was also very good and would have done the job similarly well. Energy weapon: Needs to do exactly enough damage to clearly hurt the right replication but not cause a wipe on the wrong replications. Also needs to be usable at long range. Strong preference for mid-air accuracy for movement reasons. I used truthteller, and I'm honestly not sure anything other than a grenade launcher can meet all the demands of the challenge. As an incredible bonus, blinding grenades disable servitor immunity which makes them far less of a hassle to deal with (particularly because they can make the boss immune under bad circumstances), and greatly reduces enemy add pressure (which is one important piece of the "I feel invincible" build). Heavy weapon: Ideally, Two Tailed Fox, but since I didn't have that, I used Lament. This is pretty much exclusively for boss DPS. My armor mods were built around two key concepts: 1. maximizing DPS, and 2. staying alive. Shocking. As far as staying alive, I used two arc resistance mods (which are insanely strong, I had no idea). This alone makes an enormous difference in the boss room because almost every bit of damage thrown at you is arc, so those mods are unbelievably high value for their cost. On top of that, I used the raid specific "enhanced operator augment" mod, which is absolutely busted. The way this mod works is that whenever you're down to red health, you get periodic bursts of health regeneration. I did spec into recovery for the most part as a general stat, but so, so many times I was hit hard enough to be low red only for this mod to kick in and bail me out. With the combined effect of high recovery, double arc resist, and op mod (an appropriate shortening), the enemies in the encounter almost never killed me. The sheer damage resistance and health resilience was actually hard to believe. For the damage aspect, I exclusively focused on maintaining lucent blade. Since lucent blade doesn't stack with things like rifts, wells, or much else, this was an easy way to give my damage a strong buff without having to change gameplay to make it happen. I ran supercharged (+2 charge cap), charged up (+1 charge cap), and stacks on stacks (x2 charge gathered) to minimize the amount of intentional charge gathering I'd have to do, taking charge to get the charges (orb pickup = +1 charge), and lucent blade as the singular way to spend those charges. I would've loved to use protective light as well just to see how unkillable I would be, but anything that might take my charges before a DPS phase wasn't an option. The rest of my mod slots were spent on things like grenade scavenger (artifact mod) and finder, which all helped, but ultimately weren't critical in the run. My split of recovery and mobility was tier 8 and tier 6, and those numbers also helped but were probably not critical. On the uncanny "did Bungie intend this?" design of this challenge: Replications are the most significant limiting factor to success in this challenge. You can only cleanse them in space, but you have to pick them up in base, too. This means that you'll definitely have times where you can't cleanse instantly after picking up regardless of your RNG - on the first stun you can, on the second you can't, etc. Here's why that's interesting - as a result of this design, the optimal pathing is effectively as follows: 1st stun / cleanse 1st / run base 2nd stun / run space 3rd stun / cleanse 2nd / run base 4th stun / run space ... so 5th would theoretically be 5th stun / cleanse 3rd / run base at which point you'd be left with replications 4 and 5 uncleansed while headed the direction exactly opposite of where you need to be to cleanse them. If the DPS phase ran any shorter cleansing would be trivial, and if it ran any longer, it would be impossible. To me, this is quite a coincidence. But that's not all there is to it - replication balls wipe you if left unattended for ~45 seconds, and this timer is reset when knocked off a player (notably, NOT when picked up). As a result of this, combined with the ~13 second elevator ride and pickup mechanics, this is the timeline of a ball juggle to get two balls to space at once after fourth stun: Start by dropping 3rd at base elevator, resetting it Grab 4th and drop it at base elevator to reset it, too Pickup 3rd / go to space / drop 3rd / go to base Pickup 4th / RESET 4th / Pickup 4th / go to space Drop 4th / pickup 3rd / RESET 3rd / begin soccer During this section, you have to leave stuns unattended for nearly their entire timer as you go up and down the elevator. As it takes some time to pickup the ball, drop the ball, and move between flat walls and the elevator pods - on top of the elevator movement itself - it's not unusual to run those timers dangerously low. This actually wiped me at least a handful of times due to going slightly too slow - it just so happens that my successful run was very clean in this regard so I had a very generous 6 seconds every time at least. All this said to reinforce one point: A longer DPS cycle would be impossible because you'd have to juggle during a DPS phase, which there isn't time for, because the time allotted by the replication mechanic and elevators makes it so. In my opinion, quite the interesting coincidence if this is unintended. And finally, on RNG: This challenge is NOT a Riven solo. Riven's eyes was a 1/45 pure odds that you couldn't help at all, combined with the 1/2 chance of her even going to the right side for a start the fight. Riven solo was a beast of its own, but the true "difficulty" of it was almost entirely found in fighting against terrible odds. Atraks-1 is very different in the sense that, while it does have a large RNG component, there are a myriad of ways you can mitigate it and keep your chances of success far better than the 1/90 on a fresh Riven start. By my calculations - which are summarized in this image link - you have a 29.3% chance of any run being completable at the outset, considering there is a 54.2% chance of success on any single DPS cycle, and you need two of those in a row. The information in that image is subject to two major considerations: Firstly, boss movements can totally let the goose loose. If a boss stands in a particularly terrible spot, it becomes much harder to check it and can reduce your chances of success by forcing you to guess with less testing either by committing to the weird spot or by ignoring it and hoping it's not the correct one. In any case, the overall good/bad value of the stun cycles I've covered are not absolute by any means. Secondly, the testing order also matters a lot. The clearest example is that any run in which the 2nd stun is on base left I have considered an irredeemable wipe. This is because testing all four in base is nearly impossible, so it makes sense to prioritize checking base far and base close (both of which are on the right side), so there's a high probability of finding the right one. Because the limiting factor is travel time, you are forced to check "sides" rather than specific replications. It's very possible that improvements to routing and testing speed could come later and improve the wipe / difficult scenarios to better statuses, but as of right now, the probability of it being a completable run is somewhere around 29.3% with the current knowledge - so in that way, it is a very RNG based challenge (as the variability in difficulty from the top end of that 29.3% to the bottom of it is very high), but as far as completability goes, it isn't just hoping for the best all the time. Rather, this challenge is entirely about overcoming bad scenarios. Overall, I love this raid encounter, and while this challenge is very RNG heavy, and 75% is not 75% somehow, I enjoyed doing it a lot. Also, HUGE congratulations to Tier 1's Vendetta who also just completed this challenge. Incredible achievement on his part and he was impressively quick to get a completed run in. Can't say I'm too surprised though, he's an insane gamer. Major kudos to him! submitted by /u/sc_slayerage [link] [comments]

I feel bad for whoever worked on Festering Core Posted: 29 Nov 2020 08:39 AM PST It was a pretty visually unique strike that seemed to be weighted less in the playlist so you rarely ever saw it in matchmaking, it (like Scarlet Keep) had no unique loot and just generally felt like something they didn't want anyone to see. And then one year later, it's removed from the game. submitted by /u/Nukesnipe [link] [comments]

Bungie, whoever did the SFX for the Brigs buy them a beer! Posted: 29 Nov 2020 04:56 PM PST I love the sounds they make! Whoever is responsible for the sound design on the brigs got it absolutely perfect. They sound like towering machines made for destruction and it's very satisfying to hear them! Well done developer, well done. submitted by /u/freshizdaword [link] [comments]

TowerThought: Its weird that the Gunsmith is one of the most reliable sources for Ascendant prisms and shards, which are needed for armor, not guns Posted: 29 Nov 2020 12:53 PM PST It's also crazy how expensive masterwork armor materials are from him. Can we get an armorsmith that helps us level up our armor via bounties and playing the game verses a resource grind from the Gunsmith or high end Nightfalls? submitted by /u/SthenicFreeze [link] [comments]

Navota is a goddamn bullet sponge. Posted: 29 Nov 2020 05:30 PM PST Seriously, its like the non boss part of the strike takes 5 minutes and her portion takes ten. I was pounding her with xenophage and its like it was barely tickling her. Nuts. submitted by /u/hairy_cankles [link] [comments]

Spider should show how much of x material you have when hovered over it Posted: 29 Nov 2020 06:41 AM PST A nice QOL change would be to have spider show you how much say etheric spiral you have when you hover over it. At the top we see glimmer and legendary shards, why not the rest? Just a thought. submitted by /u/halolordkiller3 [link] [comments]

Unstoppable shotgun makes no sense Posted: 29 Nov 2020 07:21 AM PST It cost SEVEN energy to use an extremely risky weapon type for high level nightfalls and lost sectors. Unstoppable hand cannon cost less and is much more useful because of infinite stun range. Significantly reduce the cost of the mod or replace it with unstoppable sniper. Unstoppable sniper would be worth the cost and actually make sense to use. submitted by /u/The_Meme_Player [link] [comments]

So our Deep Stone Crypt Raid Weapons won't be usable in next year's raid. (Unless we get them next season ? ) Really Bungie? Posted: 29 Nov 2020 01:37 PM PST Based on the fact that our previously acquired Last Wish Weapons have a power limit of 1360, and ones acquired THIS season have a power limit of 1410, we can potentially deduce that raid weapons will continue to go up a season as we progress. So this would mean that if I want to use Succession, or Heritage, or some of these awesome DSC weapons in the NEXT big expansion raid, I have to wait until NEXT season to get the god rolls I want of them? Bungie can we get some clarification on this? At this point I might as well just horde spoils. Edit: Edit for clarification, The Witch Queen's Raid submitted by /u/jcaljr5 [link] [comments]

I miss the Menagerie Posted: 29 Nov 2020 08:35 AM PST It was an incredible game mode that a I wish would have become part of the core playlist. I'm a solo gamer who hates playing with others. I don't like having a mic or chatting. I have raided in the past but just don't do it if I don't have too. The Menagerie allowed me to do something similar to a raid without having to ever put on a mic. It always gave out the rewards you wanted. I just miss the game mode and do really wish it was permanent. submitted by /u/A_God_Complex [link] [comments]

Sunsetting should be applied only on ritual weapons. Posted: 29 Nov 2020 06:44 PM PST It just makes sense. There was no rational reason to add sunsetting into the game other than to encourage people to not use extremely overpowered weapons such as mountaintop and not forgotten, which are both ritual weapons. Nobody wants their strike weapons, their God rolls, their raid weapons, their armor, to be rendered completely useless within two weeks of them finally finishing the grind to get it to the max efficiency. It's pointless and it one of the most agonizing things to run into when you think, "Oh I forgot about this weapon, I think I'll try it again.", only for your light level to now be low enough to be one shot by a dreg. submitted by /u/IanIsDecent [link] [comments]

Season of Dawn was peak seasonal model Posted: 29 Nov 2020 11:50 AM PST think about it cool ass looking weapons fun but not hard 6 man matchmade activity massive puzzle (bastion) introduction to saint-14 and the lighthouse then we moved to public events as seasonal activities and now we got whatever wrathborn hunts are supposed to be.

Unstoppable rounds make Wyverns immediately show their crit spot. Posted: 29 Nov 2020 08:53 AM PST The crit spot is directly tied to staggering the Wyvern. Unstoppable rounds always stagger unshielded enemies. Makes Wyverns a breeze. submitted by /u/dr_gould [link] [comments]

You can have 4 lure charges at a time. Posted: 29 Nov 2020 08:00 AM PST This might be common knowledge or super easy to notice, so I apologize and will delete if it is! Also, don't really know how useful it is to anybody, just kinda found it out by being distracted. If you max out your lure charges (3/3), you can slot in just the Prey Mod. Your lure will now be at 2/3 charges and you're free to charge it up again to 3/3. The Prey mod will of course stay slotted and you can just slot in the rest of the mods after you've gotten another lure charge. This will let you do 4 lures at a time. ​ *** I forgot to mention, only slot the prey mod. You may be able to slot one mutation mod, but don't slot both mutation mods. The second you slot all the mods, the lure switches to a configured lure and can't accept more charge. submitted by /u/hand0z [link] [comments]

Daily reminder that we need more ways of getting ascendant shards. Posted: 29 Nov 2020 04:54 PM PST I feel like they should drop from every end game activity. And for the pvp people, I'm open to suggestions for how you would like to get them. Edit: Strikes need a ranking system, similar to gambit and crucible submitted by /u/TheCruelHand [link] [comments]

Bungie really showed us just how good they could do with raiding this expansion. Posted: 29 Nov 2020 09:11 AM PST WOW. That's all I really have to say, I'm completely blown back with how good DSC is! But I think we really need to focus on the loot. Absolutely ducking fantastic. The raid exotic isn't just flashy but is also very very strong, which is a good incentive for people to play the raid in the first place. Then on top of that they give us a way to farm for loot even after we've done all out clears for the week. AND we can work towards new raid loot by playing through the old raids! We gotta give bungie a big wet kiss for this one guys submitted by /u/WickedZombie365 [link] [comments]

It's honestly tragic that we lost Savathun's Song, Nokris and Xol but didn't lose Hollowed Lair Posted: 29 Nov 2020 03:18 AM PST The strike is quite possibly the most useless piece of content that survived sunsetting. 50 percent of guardians just leave at the boss fight, as it's just absolutely pointless to stay, no progress is made apart from a completion. I load into Hollowed Lair more at the boss fight than at the start. The boss immunity phases, already incredibly annoying, straight up break now this season. I've been in two strikes I made the mistake of staying in that the bosses final phase he was just perma immune and we had to wipe. Bungie needs to either entirely rework the boss fight, remove ads and turn back on progress, or fix the immunity phases, or just do us all a favour and take it out of the game. Right now all Hollowed Lair is to me is "press y to return to orbit". submitted by /u/AuroraUnit117 [link] [comments]

Solo fireteam triumphs Posted: 29 Nov 2020 05:16 PM PST Hey, bungie? You know some of us like to play this solo, right? And you know those that do are going to lfg for anything like raids, or high level nightfalls, right? Well that's entirely fine, but could you maybe not exclude solo players from certain triumphs too? There's two on europa, kill brigs during crux convergence and complete heroic patrols that have to be in a fireteam... And you've just got me wondering, why? I'm not going to be able to lfg for public events and patrols, so I either have to rejoin a clan, something I'm not sure I'm ready to do yet (and am honestly enjoying playing solo) or accept that I'm just never getting those points... Could these maybe be changed to just "brig kills" and "heroic patrol completions", or maybe just don't do that again..? submitted by /u/StarlitMilk [link] [comments]

This is my ornament for destiny 2 Posted: 29 Nov 2020 07:37 PM PST Hello bungie, I designed this "ornament" for a hunter and another for the thorn inspired by a black widow. I,m happy with the result of my first digital drawing and I hope you like it too. This is very hopeful of me but if it became an ornament within the game I would be very happy the people loved the idea http://imgur.com/gallery/kJcC9Us submitted by /u/Skipper_artist [link] [comments]

All other subclasses and elements need the Stasis treatment Posted: 29 Nov 2020 08:44 AM PST Stasis is awesome, it really feels like a new, fresh take on what the elements in the game really should be. In fact, I believe that all other subclasses and elements should be buffed to stasis levels. For now, I'll just focus on the elements. Just as all Stasis damage either slow, freezes, or shatters a target, the other elements should absolutely get their own instrinsic special effects. Solar damage, all solar damage, should apply a burn to targets. A DoT that lingers for a couple of seconds afterwards. Yes, in PvP too, but the amount of damage per tick should be balanced differently there. Arc damage should be chained to nearby enemies. The amount of damage and the chance of further chaining should get weaker the further from the original target it gets. Since many exotics and abilities already do this, those exotics should instead build off of this and cause the damage to chain further. Void damage should debuff targets the same way oppressive darkness and tether already do. It should be an incredibly small debuff that gets overridden whenever a stronger one gets applied, but it should be there. Additionally, Vortex Grenades and Tether should actively pull enemies towards the center like the stasis grenades do (tether's pull should have the strength of the Scorn Captain's arc tether). Special mention for any future stasis weapons. Damage dealt by them should at least slow targets, with the number of stacks applied determined by impact and rate of fire. Also, I really want there to be a Stasis Trace Rifle. Maybe the cold opposite to Prometheus Lens where it slows and freezes targets in its field? Lastly, being able to fully customize our Light subclasses would be amazing. Separate the existing nodes into Fragments and Aspects! I know exactly what nightstalker build i'm going with already (Vanish in Smoke as Melee, with whatever Aspect/Focus combo I'd need to get both Vanishing step and Flawless Execution. Make it a thing, you cowards!). submitted by /u/Azurephoenix99 [link] [comments]
