| Posted: 16 Nov 2020 06:57 PM PST I hate competing with the team for kills. I hate not getting revived by teammates cause they are doing their bounties. Strikes should feel good to be on the same team, not make me wish I was playing the activity solo. [link] [comments] |
| After 6 years, Destiny finally has a helmet that can let me finish the fight Posted: 16 Nov 2020 09:35 AM PST "Wake me... when you need me." Probably my new favorite helmet in the entire game. Edit: Wow didn't expect this to blow up! Thank you for all the compliments, Halo was pretty much the game that started my online gaming experiences so it will always have a spot in my heart. I always felt like titans were very Spartan-esque. For those asking here's the set list: Helm: Crystocrene Helm - Petiolora Growth Arms: Hardcase Brawlers - Petiolora Growth Chest: Retro-Grade TG2 - Petiolora Growth Legs: Retro-Grade TG2 - Petiolora Growth Mark: Lost-Pacific Mark - Veist Poison Its not really viable as a set to use for actual content as 1 piece is a blue and 3 are sunset, but hopefully when a certain cosmetic system comes out ill be able to :) When that happens fashion will be true endgame! (And maybe I can earn one of those fancy Eva Levante fashion show emblems!) [link] [comments] |
| Bungie, please make our dom-mommy War Waifu Xivu Arath uncharacteristically attractive Posted: 16 Nov 2020 10:30 PM PST The Awoken have Mara Sov. The Exos have the Stranger. Humanity has Shaxx and the Cabal have Calus. It's horribly unfair for so many different species to have icons of attractiveness and pinnacles of raw sex appeal, all while the Hive have cycled through multiple characters for naught in this department. So, I propose that Bungie should make our imminent and eminent dom overlord Xivu Arath unusually and immersion-breakingly attractive to make up for this travesty. This is the better course of action and will make it less weird when people lewd her; and after the whole gun showcase, I feel this is an inevitability regardless. Do the right thing, Bungie. If you're expecting an /s, then you'll be disappointed. [link] [comments] |

Was confusing some kinderguardians by standing next to Shaw Han in the cosmodrome doing this, haha. Have fun. EDIT: Thanks for the silver award EDIT 2: This works with the 'sit' emote, just sit and stand up. Think you gotta be looking level for it to work though. Also, you don't need a sword.

| Posted: 16 Nov 2020 03:45 PM PST Seriously, I still leave when this strike pops up and was really hoping it would get taken out and placed in the very back of the vault. Like the corner that no one touches for years and it just collects dust only to be forgotten about. Now that it is out of the mix (again). Keep it and don't bring it back. This is now the second time and all I hear are joyous remarks from my friends. Also, how the hell do you start a season with this being the ordeal? (I know it changed, but that was a kick in the nuts when it started up. [link] [comments] |
| [Spoiler] Pls Bungie give us a cutscene for Immolant Pt2 Posted: 16 Nov 2020 05:26 PM PST Title. Pretty pls give us a cutscene for that part at the end where Sagira dies. Please don't leave us with just a wall of out-of-game text. :'( [link] [comments] |
| Raid weapons and armour should be IMMUNE to sunsetting if the raid is not in the DCV. Posted: 16 Nov 2020 05:35 AM PST Title. Feels so shit to have a bunch of Last Wish/GOS gear that has a cap on it for no reason whatsoever. I spent so many weeks farming Morgeth for my curated nation of beasts. It just makes me feel like there's no point in going for any of this endgame stuff if they've got such a short lifespan. [link] [comments] |
| Now that Bungie has confirmed Thorn + Necrotic Grip effect is intentional, I ask: Sunshot Sunspots Posted: 16 Nov 2020 05:29 AM PST |
| Since the Cosmodrome’s back...can we get the Khvostov 7G-0X back? Posted: 16 Nov 2020 03:05 AM PST Seriously, I loved that gun in Rise of Iron. For the uninitiated or New Light player, the 7G-0X was an Exotic upgrade of the first weapon that was obtained in Destiny 1 vanilla. It didn't have a single exotic perk, but it was highly customizable. It could change from 450 to 900 RPM, and could switch between semi, burst, and full auto. One thing I've noticed in D2 is that returning Exotics seem to be more powerful than their D1 counterparts. Thorn now has Soul Devourer instead of just the DOT of Mark of the Devourer, Thunderlord now summons fucking lightning bolts instead of just having increased ROF and accuracy, etc. On that note, I propose that the Destiny 2 version of the Khvostov 7G-0X be given the ability to actually change weapon types. It could be either a scout, pulse, or auto rifle, and it would benefit from perks affecting each class of weapon. This would make it awesome for Champions with the new anti-Champion mod system. I don't know what the quest for it would be, though. Maybe the Fallen are cleaning out Rasputin's bunker on the coast and we have to stop them, gaining the Khvostov along the way? Edit: Yes, I know that the common version, the 7G-02, exists in the game. I'm talking about the Exotic version of the Khvostov, the 7G-0X. [link] [comments] |
| Can we get an option to "Apply shader to all pieces of armor" when available? Posted: 16 Nov 2020 07:22 AM PST |
| Exotic Cyphers should also be able to be used for gaining Exotic Catalysts and Ornaments. Posted: 16 Nov 2020 05:11 AM PST For players who have collected near enough everything, the cyphers are near enough useless. This should either be done by only letting people who have completed the kiosk or for by letting anyone use them, not sure which would fit better as some exotics can be an ass to get.

| Posted: 16 Nov 2020 09:59 AM PST Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/49747 BORN OF WRATH"Huh." Sagira patches a strand of Light into the jumpship's control deck as they tumble through the black-drop, stars twinkling out beyond reach. "Something's in the static out there…" "What is it?" Osiris asks. "Some kind of subspace transmission. Hang on." Sagira boosts the jumpship's comm receiver. "It's Cabal." "From?" Osiris absentmindedly pushes a sack of candy corn aside with his foot and leans forward. "Somewhere outside the system. Some pretty heavy encryption at work, but… there's a repeated phrase. A name. Caiatl?" "How many Cabal leaders still vie for dominion atop Ghaul's grave? Let them grind each other into dust." "There are responses from Nessus, the Reef, the EDZ. She's calling the Legion home… or, no… back to her bosom? She wants them to capture Calus to prove their loyalty, but it sounds like the Leviathan is missing." "Their bloody feud continues. If Caiatl is stirring up the Legion, the Vanguard will want to know their plans." "One of the response signals is offering Caiatl tribute from somewhere near Sorik's Cut. Some other weird noise too." "This message here," Osiris says and points to the on-screen readout of Sagira's scans. "Caiatl sends an emissary to receive their tribute." "The Shore . We're not far behind," Sagira says. "Eavesdropping or crashing?" "We'll hit them after the offering is made. I don't want the Cabal Empire to know we're tapping their communications." A horde of Cabal crowd into a crude shelter, assembled from several decommissioned drop pods. Green light shines through the cracks. A royal blue banner of Cabal make lay cast in squalid bubbling mud. Sagira and her Guardian survey the scene, perched on Fallen ruins high above the Boil. The bulk of the evening is spent silent. The only exception: Sagira's repeated affirmations. "They're still just huddled around that rock." "Patience is a virtue, Sagira." Osiris closes his eyes to the Reef sky and waits for signals to guess at the Darkness's plans. The stars watch, all the weight of jet-black space upon him. He is extinguished among their lightyears. Screams in the night. Osiris stirs awake. His eyes open to the nebulous drift of the Shore. "Sagira, report." "They're all still in there. Eighteen life signs. No shots. No one's even moved. I don't like it." Tired hours flit by. Morning rises. There are no Cabal skirmishes against the Scorn, no metallurgists patching Phalanx shields with molten slag, or Psion lookouts tracing firing lines. "They're on the move!" Sagira leers over the edge of their perch. The escape latch on the frontal pod dome bursts open and slams against the pod wall. Ten leave: nine unsteady forms in dull red, one vivid blue. They disperse out into the Shore. Osiris rubs his eyes. "Finally." Through the cracks he sees them; the remaining ring of Cabal kneel in a tightly wrapped circle. A stony protrusion centers them. "What is that stone's constitution?" he asks. "Pretty stoic, I'd say." "Sagira… this reeks of suspicion." "You're right, and I hate saying that." A moment passes as the tiny Ghost directs long-range sensors to the stone. "Oh, it's not a rock. It's Hive; biological." Osiris floats down to the acrid pools on feather-Light; Sagira follows close behind. He bounds through the open pod door. A celestial flame dances in each palm. Eight Cabal sit dormant. The Cabal huddle around the protrusion. Their massive bodies form a bulwark of trembling flesh. A soulfire pitch blisters through their turgid pressure suits. They are fixated—bulged eyes rabid and screaming of rancor. Frontal plating blighted by Hive barnacle growths. Hands tightly grip their throats. Slug Rifles lay prostrated before the idol. Osiris steps among them without their notice and lowers his hands. Sagira breaks the Cabal perimeter to scan the protrusion. "Creepy. They don't even notice us. Keep those spitfires ready." She turns to Osiris. "This is the most vascular rock I've ever scanned." Osiris peers into the Hive protrusion. Metallic flecks shimmer, and he sees a long and empty road. Meandering. He wishes to plant a great banner over it, so that all may see. A beacon, alight with Phoenix flame. Looming in the nascent flamelight hangs the terrace of blades. The terrace dominates the road; its precipice at his throat. He raises the Dawnblade to meet them. Rupturing cacophony ravages his senses. I AM THE WAR YOU CRAVE. PURPOSE ETERNAL. A LEGACY IN BLOOD. "It's full of soulfire veins." Sagira's voice is wind to Osiris. She nudges him. WHEN YOU DRAW BLADES, YOU DRAW ME. "Do you hear the whispers?" Osiris's words slur. YOU CANNOT RESIST WITHOUT INVOKING MY BANNER. "You're hearing something?" Sagira floats near him. EMBRACE ME, LIGHTBEARER, AND BE A GOD OF DEATH. "Whispers." His mind clouds. One of the Cabal stands and turns to Osiris. "Snap out of it; they're waking up," Sagira says and decompiles out of danger. CONSUME OR BE CONSUMED. The Cabal trundles forward. Osiris billows incineration. The blaze cooks the interior of the pod. Kneeling Cabal break free of their trance and stand in the scalding air. Of the remaining seven, two fall immediately to a hail of celestial firebolts. Osiris grounds himself and unleashes a cascade of Arc across the mass of lumbering Legionaries. Lightning bends inward against the pod's magnetic shielding. He holds the storm on them until pressure gel hisses and spits from their suits. Osiris exhales. Their smoldering bodies invade his nostrils. The scene clarifies. Horror, scorch, and char. "Sagira…" CODEPENENTS"You ready to tell me what that was all about?" Sagira asks. She hovers just above the jumpship's control deck, piloting. "I wish I could. I remember tracking Caiatl's emissary. Finding the Cabal. The night sky. Then… flame and rage. It took everything in me to push those thoughts from my mind." Osiris slumps in his seat. "There is one clear memory. I felt the Dark whisper that we've been chasing. Like a needle in my spine. It must be at the root of all this." As his thoughts fixate on senescence, old iron words from the past ring in his ears. "Soon the City won't need men like us. Lone wolves, Osiris. We die. Make sure when your end comes, it's something worth your Light." "Okay," Sagira says. The concern is thick in her voice, but she buries it. "I sent out scans. Long range, short range… anywhere that has a prominent Hive presence. There's no way this is isolated to the Reef." "Petra, how were we so blind?" Osiris muses. "The Hive swell in Darkness as Guardians run to Europa. The warning fell between her words, and I did not see it." "That's enough moping. We're on this early. Maybe it's a good thing." "I can't pull the Vanguard's eyes from Europa with hazy recollections and guesses. They have just begun to see me again, and trust is so thin." Resonance pings blip onto the ship's monitors, catching Osiris's attention. "Signals from your scans." "The Moon. That's a much stronger signal than the one we found near Sorik's Cut." Osiris shifts and raises his head. "You may be right about our timing. We can end this before it begins. Open a channel to Eris." "I've been trying. She's uh… well, she's not answering." "Then we go to her." "Oh no. First that, and then it's a suicide mission into the Hellmouth. You're in no condition. Recuperate and we'll talk." Osiris stews in thought. Sagira's words are true. He is bleary from lack of sleep. "Then turn around." "Osiris, I already sent everything we have to Petra and the Vanguard. I'm taking us to Earth." "Whatever we are dealing with is spreading through the system's underbelly. There is one on the Shore who knows those pathways. Surely, I'm not too fragile to have a conversation, Sagira." "I'm sure there are plenty of people in the Tower who would be just as helpful." Osiris glares at her. "I am not some doddering invalid!" He grabs the flight stick. "Turn around, or I will." "This Spider guy better have answers," Sagira says. "From what I've heard, it's just a matter of how persuasive we are," Osiris says and follows an Eliksni Associate through plum curtains and into the Spider's abode. The massive Don of the Shore lounges before them. "Welcome, most esteemed Osiris. Though you have not graced my chamber before, your reputation precedes you." Spider trellises his eight fingers togethe r as his voice breaks into a series of gaseous staccato slurps. "The literature you sent me… very interesting, but behind the times ." Spider chuckles. "I already have top men working on these… cryptoliths. But I'd never, what is it? Ah yes, 'look a gift horse in the mouth.'" His Associates rush around the edges of the room. Cargo exchanges hands at a frenetic pace. Osiris follows their movements. A decorated Associate approaches the Spider and waits at his side. "What is it, Arrha ? You know better than to interrupt our guest's audience." Arrha glances to Osiris before quickly speaking in Eliksni. Spider slams down a meaty fist. "Then go find it!" Spider turns back to Osiris as Arrha scuttles away. "Apologies. Business interruptions in the aftermath of these…" he gestures half-heartedly upward, "… trying times." He stifles a cough and clutches at his Ether rebreather. "Cabal aren't the only ones having troubles, eh?" Sagira asks and jets in front of Osiris. "You know I speak Eliksni, right?" She plays snippets of Cabal distress transmissions and orders from Caiatl's scouts to lock down encampments; she displays images of slaughter, graves, and empty Cabal fortifications. "If it's hitting them this hard, your Associates must be, what's the phrase? Dropping like flies." "Wise Osiris and his brilliant little Light," Spider muses. "Sagira," the duo corrects. "Of course you are. I see no reason why this… can't be a mutually beneficial partnership." Osiris steps forward. "What matter do you need addressed, Spider, sovereign of the Shore?" Spider giddily laps up the title. "I know the cryptoliths are of the Hive. I know the broods here burn Oryx's banners. And I know his Worm's skeleton , the one in Saturn's rings, is awake." Spider throws his four arms into a shrug. "My jurisdiction ends at the banks of the Shore, of course… but not yours." DREAD NOTOsiris impales a Wizard's head upon a stunted spike, surrounded by a freshly bloodied Hive sigil. The Dreadnaught console sputters to life, accepting his tithe. While Cayde's old transmat zone is no longer in operation, the massive breach left by the Dantalion Exodus VI's impact remained agape. Entry had not been difficult despite the halls crawling with newly spawned Thrall. They were young, and nearly a century of navigation through the Infinite Forest had honed Osiris's ability to remain unseen. The Dreadnaught's systems present as living memory —chronicles and hymns recounting histories. It is a rat king of fading ideas, wracked with failing connections and dying interpretations as Akka suffers a slow, final death, damaged beyond repair. But there is knowledge to glean here. Osiris directs Sagira to rip spokes of data from the console for Vanguard High Command. "You found the most disgusting one; I'm not touching that. Dictate it to me." Osiris sneers and grasps the head. He navigates the recounting of the Hive from Oryx's death. They are fractured, broken by internal power struggles. It leads into a recounting of Savathûn: banished, branded as heretic and set to burn. Many Hive turned to her when Oryx fell. Many of those same broodlines defected as the Darkness invaded Sol, sending Savathûn into hiding. She is still hunted by the hounds of war. Her pursuer has no local story to recount here, for it is yet to be written in blood. War's Celebrant rides to wrest Crota's lost foundlings from the Witch Queen's schemes. To bring unity. To bring reckoning. To bring glory. Luna will be reformed in her image. All tithes to Xivu Arath. All tithes to the black edge of her singing blade. I AM THE DIN OF RAPTURE. I AM THE HERALD OF PEACE. MY BANNER IS KNOWN TO YOU. "Xivu Arath," Osiris says. Words spoken on compulsion. He takes his hands from the Wizard's head as emerald smoke wafts from its orifices. Osiris slumps to his knees. "This must be the echo we've been chasing. An omen of her voice, resounding through the Darkness, heralding war." "A Hive war god. This is bad," Sagira says. "The third sister . She has finally come for us, and her champion seeks to supplant Crota's remaining daughters on Luna. That is where we go." Into the chasm on Luna. They follow the trail of signals down into the Enduring Abyss . Through the Nightmares of so many. He stands at the face of it for what feels like hours. The Great Angular Thing —the edge of night that plays behind his mind. "Speechless?" Sagira teases. "Maybe they're not so bad." Her chuckle is thin . They press on. Osiris swipes away silken threads of webbing above the shadow of Luna's Pyramid. Braziers illuminate a synod of Witches and Wizards deep in the chasm. All point in alignment toward a monolithic sigil of Xivu Arath set atop a cryptolith adorned in blades: her will, projected from some far-off, unseen cosmic hollow . At the base of her visage—a monstrous Knight, adorned with tapestries charred by scorching brands. "There it is," Osiris whispers. "Along with the entire Scarlet Court," Sagira's voice crackles. "Crota's remaining children, and their spawn, can be destroyed in one fell swoop." "What is it with you and suicidal ideas? We can't transmat out of here, and they won't just kill you. They'll rip out your Light, Osiris." "They're all here, Sagira. In one place." "You're worth more than a bunch of Hive nobles. Wait for backup. Let me go topside and call for help." "No. We stop this now. Halt her here." Osiris looks to the convocation below. "It is decided." "You can't just decide that!" Osiris turns to Sagira. "Go for help, but I can't wait for the Vanguard. I'll see you soon with reinforcements." "If you're going, I'm going." She decompiles safely beneath his armor. It is decided. Together they make war on the Hive. Solar wings combust from Osiris's back. In each hand, he wields a blade of dawn. The calamity of his inferno sends Hive scattering in every direction. Voshyr and her two daughters, Yishra and Ayriax, turn to confront the Phoenix. They are ashen before their first incantations complete. He paints the scene apocalyptic. Fifteen noble-brood are reduced to cinders before a defense is mounted. LAUGHTER LIKE CLASHING SWORDS. Osiris sails through the air as daggers of dark power whistle past him. Golden echoes split from his body to cut down fleeing Hive and soak reprisals. Kinox, last daughter of Crota, scurries through cracks between the rocks as her son, Ulg'Urin, and his cohort of lesser Knights raise shields to defend her. Osiris extinguishes a blade into his palm to form a singularity of Void and hurls a Nova Bomb that consumes them. With his other blade, he dives. He drives it into the ground, erupting a Well of Radiance surrounded by a phalanx of gilded echoes . Nobles shriek for their Thralls to charge. Bolts of flame and Arc tear through them as Osiris blinks through the Void from one echo to another. Their advance breaks. He steps over their smoldering husks and turns the blaze to their masters. Osiris revels in the slaughter. Xivu Arath's sigil drinks in his fervor and the nobles' deaths. LAUGHTER LIKE SCREAMING FEAR. Her visage emboldens. The Celebrant waits at the foot of Xivu Arath's cryptolith, unburnt. Osiris's echoes reconvene into him. "FACE ME!" he exclaims and steps forward. Xivu Arath's visage emits a shockwave that thunders through the chasm. It rips away Osiris's Well and throws him across the stone floor. His back slams against the cliff face behind him. "What is this?" Shock punctuates the question. He pulls against an unseen force to no avail. YOU BURN OFFERINGS; I ACCEPT THEM. Xivu Arath's will crushes the pressure of his Light. Seals the flames into his flesh. Stakes his body to the stone on paralytic pins. Her image distorts in a concave canvas around him, the Celebrant at its core. Shadows encroach, dousing the borders of his power. Osiris focuses his mind on the spark at his core. Flames billow from within. Countless gilded echoes ripple from him, testing Xivu's hold, pressing vulnerabilities. The Sun sings to repel the shadow. He finds a moment, wrenches a hand free, and unleashes the Reach of Chaos. The beam of Arc tears through Xivu's sigil. Soulfire shards rocket away as cracks fork through Xivu Arath's projection. Unfazed, she does not relent. RESIST ME, LIGHTBEARER. Her will overcomes him, stronger than before. The Celebrant steps forward. A massive cleaver dangles from its hand, weightless. The beast carves a rune into the stone on either side of Osiris, its eyes locked with his. It nods to him, and then turns to the sigil. "All tithes to Xivu Arath. War Dominant. Endless." Its tone is soft rasp and soot. The runes kindle in harlequin gleam. "Osiris." Sagira's voice statics in his ear. "One of us has to make it out; warn them." "I'm sorry, Sagira… Run…" His words are thin from duress. The Celebrant drives its sword into the cliffside stone above Osiris's head. The cryptolith erupts in neon flare. "Die well, Osiris." The Celebrant bows and withdraws from sight into Luna's depths. Wisps of Light hemorrhage through his skin, trimmed in blood and drawn around the blade embedded above him as if it were a nostepinne spike. Sagira's voice is a whisper. "I'm not letting them take you." YOUR STRENGTH LIVES ON THROUGH ME. "Give Saint… my private drive," Osiris exhales and closes his eyes. He sees himself in a million permutations. Each path: a life in glimpses. He takes what he can from them. Not enough to savor, but enough to be immortalized in nostalgic haze. In one, he is a blazing warrior, driving back the horrors of the longest nights. Another, a vigiled gargoyle atop the Infinite Forest. A grizzled elder overseeing keen disciples. In so many, he is dead. But there is one where Osiris finds happiness. He finds a time away from strife. He finds Saint—a dream of warm serenity. The peace to his purpose. With Saint, there is a future that could have been enough. So many unlived moments lost between calls to action. He wishes Sagira had not come to watch him die. His faithful companion. His guiding starlight. His hope, his humanity. "Sagira. For as many lives as we had… you were always my better." His Light is breaking. "Osiris, why don't you ever listen to me?" She compiles in front of him. "What are y—" "Shut up! Listen to my words!" Her iris is bright with Light. "There are great things still left for you; don't lose hope in the darkness." She is luminant. Osiris breathes the word, as if he could hold it back: "No." He would understand in time. She had seen it. Blinding Light erupts from Sagira's core as she splits apart. A wave of Light surges and tears across the chasm. Her sacrifice cleanses every trace of Xivu Arath's presence. The sigil: erased. The cryptolith that supported her projection: destroyed. Osiris draws breath. Alone. The aegis of Sagira's Light stands strong in the shadow of the Pyramid for days. [link] [comments] |
| Thanks Bungie for all the kill patrols. Posted: 16 Nov 2020 03:47 AM PST This and allowing us to complete the patrol in a different area! Edit 1: Thanks for the silver and the rocket!! Edit 2: Thanks all for the medals, this blew up!! Keep it up guardians. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Nov 2020 11:36 AM PST Title, basically. Gambit has been one of my favorite game modes since it released - it's exciting, dynamic, fast-paced, with potential for some real back and forth and hero moments on both sides. The new gambit... just doesn't vibe with me. The addition of mote draining to base Gambit combined with continued power weapon RNG and how insanely easy it is to burn primevals makes it feel like the game is decided in the first two minutes, and instead of competing with the enemy team I'm competing with my own in a desperate rush not to have them make game-ending bad calls (grabbing motes while they're on two and I'm on thirteen, banking with five when nobody else is ready, not clearing blockers while I'm invaded). It just feels like the changes are meant to make Gambit as fast and painless as possible for people who don't like it, and that feels... like a shame, I guess? I liked the back and forth, the tense matches that would go to round three, the desperate repeated invades to keep the enemy team from burning while we tried to catch up. I saw someone else say that games aren't decided by which team has the best player, but which team has the worst, and that feels more true than ever. And hey, maybe this is the right direction. I know I was in the minority in loving Gambit right up until Beyond Light, so maybe this 'make it less painful for people who hate it' strategy is a net positive. But it feels like a shame, to me.

| The missions where we fight our way back to our ship are so cool, we need more. Posted: 16 Nov 2020 08:01 PM PST Remember in taken king where we fight our way out of the base on phobos and retreat to our ship. In beyond light we have a similar event play out and these missions are so cool fighting hoards of enemies to get to your ship is one of the best experiences in the the story, seeing your ship in the distance as you fight your way through never gets old. Bungie please do more of that. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Nov 2020 04:39 PM PST I've seen a lot of complaints saying that peoples' favorite archetype doesn't have a new/non-sunset version or that their favorite archetype doesn't have the element they desire. In Datto's Beyond Light first impressions video, he suggests the idea of having elements and RPMs be randomly rolled on weapons. I think that this could be implemented well if they gave the Gunsmith a way to select a weapon and pick its element and RPM and be able to farm it over and over again. This could work in a menagerie chalice type way where the first rune is the weapon type, the second is RPM, and the third run is element. Runes could be earned by doing stuff with weapon type or element your are looking for. Ex: SMG kills grants SMG runes, Solar kills grant Solar runes, and Aggressive Frame kills grants Aggressive Frame runes. After slotting the runes into the Gunsmith chalice, the Gunsmith could provide a bounty relating to the weapon to receive your weapon. Say I'm trying to earn a Solar, Aggressive Frame SMG, the bounty could be: Earn points by getting kills with Solar weapons/abilities, SMGs, or Aggressive Frame weapons. Guardian and precision kills grant the most efficient progress. I believe that this would be a great addition and for those who want to grind for a specific roll, it becomes more efficient to continue to grind since competing the bounty to unlock the weapon will give you more runes to try and unlock the weapon as well as the bounty would progress even faster if you had already grinded for a copy of the gun and can triple dip the requirements for completing it.

| Posted: 16 Nov 2020 01:33 AM PST Add the ability to dismantle Exotic Ciphers into an Ascendant Shard. That way, Xur will get more attention since he now provides a weekly quest for a Cipher, which will give Veteran Guardians who get no use out of Exotic Kiosk, or other players who just have no interest in it, a choice to visit Xur and complete a bounty for the Cipher. This will aslo ease the experience of New Light players that will have a reliable way to farm Ascendant Shard each week. Also since armor sunsetting is a real pain in the butt, a farm method like that can make it a little easier to upgrade armor sets in the future and also reduce frustration of players. Let me know what you think! EDIT: Thank you everybody for the awards and feedback. This simple change is something I would really like to see in the game as it seems very logical to me, so thank you for bringing this suggestion to the top for the devs to see. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Nov 2020 10:56 AM PST If you didn't already know, every day there's been new "messages" left in Zavala's office. Today, a certain Awoken Queen sent out a message: I was expecting more Osiris, but was pleasantly surprised. (I was going to crosspost my r/raidsecrets post but that isn't allowed) [link] [comments] |
| Being able to farm Europa HVTs for Europa gear is amazing. More of this please! Posted: 16 Nov 2020 02:52 PM PST As negative as things kind of feel at the moment, I did want to give this piece of feedback. I LOVE being able to quickly run around Europa and kill Enforcer Brigs (a fairly tough and fun enemy to fight) for random rolls on Europa armor/weapons. This is great, and it gives me a reason to stick around the free roam space when I don't have missions to do. I got a nice recov/discipline helmet roll from a Brig yesterday and was psyched about it.

| Posted: 16 Nov 2020 07:05 AM PST Yes, I know you can generate with the solar burst damage such as Sunshot, and Xenophage. I'm specifically referring to the Seventh Seraph/Ikelos weapons. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 16 Nov 2020 11:09 AM PST Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/49718 At Bungie, we want everyone to feel that their identity is welcome. It's one of our core values and manifests in the things we make, in the ways we communicate and interact with our fans, and crucially, in the way we run our studio. It means recognizing and welcoming different points of view and lifting up underrepresented voices. This is an ongoing concern and not something that is ever "complete." Rather, it's an effort that we strive to improve over time and through input from Bungie employees from all over the company. The latest example of this effort is the introduction of Inclusion Clubs as part of Bungie culture. Earlier this year, the first Inclusion Club – Black at Bungie – was formed. With the goal of celebrating and uplifting Black employees at the studio, the Black at Bungie Inclusion Club has been on the vanguard of not only setting an example of what Inclusion Clubs can be for Bungie employees, but also helping to facilitate and navigate vital conversations during a pivotal moment in modern society. Created and powered by Bungie employees, Inclusion Clubs (ICs) are groups that exist to connect those of similar cultural backgrounds and those who wish to connect as supportive allies. ICs are also a resource within Bungie, there to provide culturally relevant perspectives, advice, and ideas on everything from organizational culture to the products we create. The concept of Inclusion Clubs came from the Bungie Diversity Committee (BDC), which is dedicated to improving upon Bungie's standards for all matters of diversity and inclusion. While the BDC is dedicated to addressing broader issues of diversity, Inclusion Clubs were created to support the goals of specific underrepresented groups, and to provide employees with resources and budget that they can use to support the causes that matter to them. Kareem Shuman is a technical dialogue designer working on Destiny 2. He's been involved in a leadership role with Bungie's Diversity Committee for more than two years and is a founding member and leader of the Black at Bungie IC. He says that, while the problems of racial injustice sometimes seem insurmountable, it's groups like Black at Bungie that can make a tangible day-to-day impact. "Racial injustice is a really big boss to try and fight," Shuman said, when asked about the kinds of conversations that the IC has undertaken in recent months. "[So] let's break it into chunks and look at the things we are good at and that affect us on a daily basis here at our work. What can we be doing better at Bungie? What can we be doing for our peers? What can we be doing in our game and the content that we make and that millions of people play around the world? Those are things we have control over, in some ways very directly and in some ways there's systems in place that have been around for a while and we need to poke some people and some things to see if they can be improved." The launch of Black at Bungie preceded a groundswell in the ongoing discussions around racial equality and justice, both in the United States and elsewhere around the world. Following the tragic deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery earlier in 2020, cities in the States have seen protests and demonstrations demanding policy and societal change. Black at Bungie has been an important part in helping to inform and shape the studio's public statements and actions, such as the support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Though the club is only a few months old, the group has been busy. They funded a sponsorship of the recent Game Devs of Color Expo (https://gamedevsofcolorexpo.com/), which was held online in September. In addition, the recent addition of the Be Heard pin and emblem on the Bungie Store came as a result of collaboration with members of the Black at Bungie IC. All profits from the sales of the pin and emblem are benefitting the Equal Justice Initiative (https://eji.org/), which is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive judicial punishment in the United States, to challenge racial and economic injustice, and to protect basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society. "The club is still building," says Phyllicia Majors, Bungie's office manager and a member of the Black at Bungie IC. "We've been talking a lot about how we can support other groups and show our faces and represent Bungie." "[I'm] very proud to see the Black Lives Matter pin," Majors said. "I've seen it in the game where they put the [emblem] [and thought], 'Wow, they're standing behind what they say.'" In addition to Black developers, the Black at Bungie IC includes allies like Z Schleif, who works as a narrative lead in the studio. "I have no role in the day-to-day of the club itself except to observe, and to provide solicited feedback and support when requested by my Black peers," said Schleif. "However, I strongly believe that being an ally doesn't stop at the day-to-day of the club. As an ally, I am committed to helping create an actively antiracist studio culture at Bungie and to promoting active antiracism in the media we create." Looking at the future, Black at Bungie plans on furthering its mission to uplift members of the Black game development community and continuing the ongoing dialog around racial equality and justice, both in the game development world and beyond. Bungie fans who are interested in learning more can look forward to hearing more from Black at Bungie here on Bungie.net and on existing Bungie social media platforms. Black at Bungie is just getting started in its ongoing mission of uplifting underrepresented voices, sharing diverse perspectives and championing a more diverse and inclusive game industry. In a momentous year, where social change has been at the forefront of so many people's mind, Shuman says the very existence of Black at Bungie is an important step for the company to keep making meaningful changes in this space. "I never thought we would see companies making official contributions to the Black Lives Matter movement like we did for [LGBTQ] Pride in previous years," said Shuman. "But when injustice keeps stacking up, eventually it becomes too much for people to ignore, even those who are not themselves a target. Seeing so many stand up and protest, donate, and actively support these causes has been a huge inspiration. We have allies both at home and abroad and it's a beautiful thing to see."

| The occasional powerful drops from Crucible, Gambit, etc. are really welcome! Posted: 16 Nov 2020 05:22 AM PST I already enjoy just playing the game itself, so it feels extra rewarding to randomly get a powerful gear drop every few games or so. It really works well with the "play how you want" mentality by rewarding you regardless of activity, and it makes me feel like I'm not missing out for not trying to get every weekly challenge done as soon as possible.
