    This Week at Bungie - 11/5/2020

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 11:09 AM PST

    Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/49751


    This week at Bungie, we're beginning our descent to Europa.

    Every release, we have a long conversation about what we should show players leading up to launch, and what we should leave for players to discover. We want to build up the sense of wonder as a new Season or expansion makes its approach without spoiling everything that's coming. With just a week to go before launch, we've almost reached our destination.

    Video Link

    Our Beyond Light Launch Trailer went live last week. A ViDoc, exploring Beyond Light and Season of the Hunt, is available for your viewing pleasure. We've released our Season of the Hunt calendar to help you plan out your days for the next few months.

    All that's left is a quick preview of patch notes and a maintenance timeline. After that, we leave the rest to you.


    It's All in the Patch

    Over the last few weeks, our goals have been to set expectations. We've covered the Destiny Content Vault, upcoming Sandbox changes, Gambit tuning, and more. These updates aren't mind-blowing or overly game changing, they're just nice little morsels to chew on in the final days leading up to launch. In any case, we hope you like the following quality of life appetizers before your meal is delivered on November 10.

    Archives

    Beginning November 10, two new kiosks will be available in the Tower. First up, the Quest Archive will be found next to the Postmaster. Our hope is that this removes some of the confusion when trying to track down the odd quest that you previously discarded. Additionally, this will be the place for any veteran players to pick up the New Light Quest on November 10, if they have a strong desire to experience new player tutorials and the (re-)introduction to the Cosmodrome.

    Next up, the Monument to Lost Lights Exotic Archive will be found by the Vault. Here, players may acquire various Exotics and Legendary Pinnacle/Pursuit weapons that were once available through now-retired quests. As many of these Exotics were tied to lengthy quests or difficult objectives, we wanted to make sure their prices reflected those previous efforts. Players will need an amount of Glimmer, destination materials, masterworking materials, and an Exotic Cipher or Ascendant Shard in order to purchase the Exotic or Legendary which they desire. We're also introducing a currency, Spoils of Conquest, which can only be acquired when completing raids. This currency will be required for Exotics previously tied to Vaulted raids.

    Image Linkimgur

    In the past, Exotic Ciphers were very limited in nature. While you can expect one to be available as part of the Season Pass, Xur will also offer a quest to earn one Exotic Cipher on a weekly cadence.

    Now, let's move on to some traditional patch notes...

    Crucible

    • Trials of Osiris

      • Trials of Osiris Power level requirement increased to 1210.
      • Added ADEPT weapons and weapon mods to Flawless chest rewards.
      • Additional information here (link TWAB).
    • Maps

      • Added physics blockers to some out-of-bounds areas on Altar of Flame.
      • Added physics blockers to some out-of-bounds areas on Exodus Blue.
      • Added physics blockers to some out-of-bounds areas on Cauldron.

    Player Identity

    • Login screens now have a dark background.
    • Updated the full-screen menus to have a dark background style.
    • Player waypoints now display Season Rank, HUD waypoints.
    • Added toggle functionality to the character screen, allowing the player to make a choice between Light and Dark subclasses.

      • Character screen visuals updated depending on player choice between Light and Dark.

    Character Creation

    • Changed selection from "Male" & "Female" to "Masculine" & "Feminine."
    • Guardian head and hair models have been replaced with improved versions.

      • Several color swatches have been changed to better represent the applied color.
      • Player's previous head selections are still used.

    Misc

    • Fixed a bug that prevented online friends from showing up in the roster on Stadia for players with more than 100 friends.
    • Fixed a bug that occasionally prevented players from earning progress on bounties when joining an activity in progress.
    • This most notably impacted Iron Banner bounties and could cause players to have their Artifact Power bonus enabled during Iron Banner matches.

    A few Sandbox changes that we missed in our Sandbox preview

    • Traveler's Chosen

      • Reduced muzzle flash intensity.
    • Point of the Stag

      • Increased Point of the Stag's Max Power Level to 1310.
    • Divinity

      • Fixed a bug that prevented some weapons from dealing precision damage to the Divinity cage (e.g. Eriana's Vow).
    • Hunter Dodge

      • Increased Hunter's Dodge cooldown by a few seconds.
      • (E.g. Tier 4, old cooldown: 22 sec. New cooldown: 26 sec.)
    • Anti-Champion Mods

      • Anti-barrier rounds will now penetrate Taken Phalanx shields.
      • All Anti-Champion mods have been shifted to armor, rather than taking a weapon mod slot.
    • Orbs of Light have been changed to Orbs of Power as they can now be consumed by Light and Dark subclasses.

    Before we end our patch note preview, we do want to call out the collectors among you who have been talking about the impending removal of Expired Ramen Coupons from your inventories. We know this one stings a bit. It's a byproduct of us cleaning up inventory systems and doing general maintenance.

    We want to a provide a parting gift before these coupons are tossed into the bin. These coupons can't be redeemed for spicy ramen, but they can decorate your desktop for as long as you desire.

    Before we kick off a new year of Destiny content, we have a final round for Movie of the Week. 2020 isn't over yet, but we've had a blast watching community-created content throughout Shadowkeep and its associated Seasons. Many thanks to those who've submitted their footage (and art!), as it's kept us sane week over week.

    Here are your final Movie of the Week selections before Beyond Light brings some Darkness to the table.

    Movie of the Week: Thanks, Taken!

    Video Link

    Movie of the Week: Festival of the Lost, Parting Shot

    Video Link

    Movie of the Week: Give 'em a hand

    Video Link

    Movie of the Week: SEVENTH COLUMN!!! ...AND ANOTHER ONE!

    Video Link

    Movie of the Week: It isn't over until it's over

    OMG can someone explain this please?!?! Like wtf just happened🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ @A_dmg04 @Gladd @BungieHelp @Xbox pic.twitter.com/aYNfaeG7WM

    — TG DuAc (@TGDuAc1) November 2, 2020

    Next week, we'll have a new companion section for Movie of the Week. We felt it important to give the same spotlight to the artists of our community as we've been giving to those who create fun videos.

    To throw your hat in the ring, submit your content to the Community Creations portal on Bungie.net. If you also post your content to social media, tag it with #DestinyMOTW or #DestinyArt. We'll snag a few winners each week and grant them some fancy new emblems.


    We've been here a few times. What was once months became weeks. Weeks have become mere days. Five more sleeps stand between you and Beyond Light. Well, that's if you can even sleep the night before launch. I know I probably won't. Many of you have been on this journey with us from the start. In the last year, numerous Guardians have begun their journey through New Light. No matter how long you've been a Guardian, we can't thank you enough for playing.

    Stay hydrated. Be healthy. Treat yourself well.

    We're almost there.

    See you starside.

    The infinite forest can die and burn in hell. Do not bring it back for FOTL in the future.

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 09:08 AM PST

    Its done. The well is empty. The cow has been milked dry. The dead horse has been beaten to a pulp. Its over. Its was an interesting concept that played out its life after the first FOTL. There is no longer a single microgram of fun that can be sucked from this event. Encase it in a tomb of lead and bury it so deep it will never be found by future generations hundreds of thousands of years from now. Let it die. Let its memory be only survived by the faint thought of "that one thing that was kinda fun once".

    Luke Smith confirms end of season event

    "Is there an end of season event?" We have a small event to close out Season of Arrivals. We wanted it to be a surprise but an email accidentally mentioned it! It's nothing too crazy, just a little time to chill in the Tower before the Lights go out. See you soon.

    Beyond Light is almost upon us, yet Eververse still yapping about how we kicking the Red Legion out.

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 03:14 AM PST

    With all those Silver/Expansion pre-order sales, surely Bungie can afford to at least update the voice-lines, yes?

    Imagine she still talking about Red Legion, yet the base game itself is gone.

    Now that Year 3 is ending, can we take a moment to appreciate how incredibly gamechanger Armor 2.0 was?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 07:09 AM PST

    I'm serious, we didn't have such a diverse build variation before. You simply put on the subclass you wanted, an exotic armor that would synergize and some other weapon.

    With Armor 2.0 I started to care a lot more about what I was equipping, I started experimenting with various modifiers and creating very fun builds. Charged with Light and Warmind Cells are incredible and give you enormous maneuverability in terms of what you want to use in all the content of the game.

    I know that at the beginning the system had problems, but over time it has only improved and the truth is something that makes me very happy. Good work Bungie, keep it up.

    Edit: Warmind cells not Seraph cells lol

    Actium War Rig should also reload Trace Rifles.

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 02:18 PM PST

    Trace rifles are essentially special ammo auto rifles. They share most of the same mods, excluding scavenger mods. It would make us titans keep doing the important things like punching and shooting things (which is like punching things really far away with tiny fists) rather than waste time with reloading.

    Is Erianas cow best exotic cipher option?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 04:46 AM PST

    I just got a exotic cipher and was wondering what exotic weapon to get with exotic cipher? I was thinking Erianas cow, thoughts on this hand cannon? If not which weapon would you suggest?

    Edit: Holy moly was not expecting to come back to this....looks like I will indeed be getting Erianas Vow*

    Best thing about beyond light will be all the commentary in the tower stopping about the red legion

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 10:55 AM PST

    God I will be so happy when I can stop hearing those civvies and evaverse stop with the red legion commentary when ever I am in the tower. After 3 years it has gotten tiring to hear "Cant believe you kick the red legion out" and "think the cabal will attack again?".

    Now if only we could get rid of that one person who keeps saying "I want the ones the hunters get"

    Fellow Guardians! Myself and a few friends are doing a stream on 11/7 to support Extra Life. They do a yearly charity to raise money for local Children's Hospitals. We're streaming a run through of all the raids leaving with Beyond Light, back to back from 7PM-12AM EST.

    The stream will be live at twitch.tv/axelalmer54321. Feel free to join and chat! Details on how to donate will be available there as well.

    Reminder: Claim your old Season Rewards before the season ends.

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 09:00 AM PST

    For anyone who hasn't used it before: Bungie gives you the ability to claim unclaimed season rewards from previous seasons through the Bungie website. These rewards only go back one season though.

    If you left any rewards unclaimed from last season (Season of the Worthy) you must claim them this week before before they're forever lost in the dark corners of time:
    Previous Season Rewards

    Most of the rewards from the current season, Season of Arrivals, should continue to be available next season with a few exceptions:
    - The Twisted Energy at ranks 2, 12, and 92 should be claimed before the season ends.
    - The Umbral Engrams at ranks 7 and 52 should be claimed before the season ends.

    Something's happening an hour after reset today.

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 06:50 AM PST

    something. we dont know what that thing is. it could be anything. i just wanted to inform people because i havent seen anything about it on here.

    recently, the CHOOSE emblem was disabled- it couldnt be put into [bungie.net/analyze](bungie.net/analyze]. however, it was enabled again today (i think?). when CHOOSE is entered (by someone who owns the collectors edition), it leads to a countdown. heres a link to said countdown for people who dont have the collector's edition. the countdown takes us to an hour after reset. there's a lot of interesting stuff here about the current ARG going on.

    i dont want to take any credit for this, this is all done by the raidsecrets discord. again, im simply the messenger, as i havent seen anything about this on here (unless I'm completely blind?). i dont want to speculate either because i dont want to give anyone ideas when i have literally zero clue on whats going on, but it seems neat?

    dont get your hopes up, please! it could be anything, but chances are its either a hint at the end of season event OR another step in the ARG.

    EDIT: Courtesy of u/Hunter_Meteorologist:

    It's an ARG within the site. It shows a "sequence data fragment" that I assume will change colors at different times for everyone or something along those lines. When I typed choose into the page, it gave me a bit of text, then displayed a square that changed from white to black to yellow then said additional data can be found at other locations and there is a 24 hour lockout.

    if you have a Collector's Edition, please go here and help out!

    How to hang out with your Hive friends!

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 06:27 AM PST

    1) Go to The Rig on Titan.

    2) In the Contact public event, pick up some motes.

    3) Go to the Cargo Bay 3 lost sector.

    4) Chill with the Hive. They won't attack you, you're now their best bud!

    EDIT: Also works in the DS Quarters-2 lost sector, and Methane Flush lost sector in Siren's Watch (but you can't fast travel there or you lose the motes)

    Exotic Cipher should allow you to pick Catalysts.

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 05:14 AM PST

    The title says it all. There are a lot of Catalysts that people desperately want, but can never get, despite hours of grinding.

    If I want to blow my Season's Pass cipher on the Sunshot or Hard Light catalyst instead of picking up Symmetry, why not?

    I only learned yesterday about the thrall cave in the Whisper mission...

    Posted: 05 Nov 2020 10:57 AM PST

    Learn from my ignorance and use it while you still can! I was (slowly) finishing the catalyst for Sunshot when I read about it here. I was at about 3-5% completion after a couple waves of enemies on the moon. After about 15 minutes in the thrall cave it went up by 35%. One hour later, I was done. I'll do Graviton lance tonight.

    Admitedly, it is a bit boring but the time you save is well worth it.
