    I think it's very cool of Bungie that the snow in the tower has actual physics applied.

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 03:33 AM PST

    They didn't have to do that, but you can slide through it and leave a trail, and leave footprints. Most games would've just had a snow asset that you couldn't interact with, since it's only for looks. It's the small things.

    Edit: lots of people apparently have drawn penises in the snow. Never change, Guardians.

    I don't care if you are pro SBMM or "C"BMM, lobby balance is atrocious.

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 10:36 AM PST

    Lobby balance, which is a part of every PVP FPS, is completely broken in Destiny. The lopsidedness of the teams is completely ruining the crucible experience for me and many others. I am not someone to take Quickplay seriously, but I can count on one hand how many close matches I've had this season.

    My last few matches, I was literally the only person on my team with a positive KD. The several before that, it was completely brutal and unfun stomps of the other teams. I literally felt like I was using a kitten to beat a puppy to death.

    I don't care which matchmaking Bungie uses, but you can't stack all the people who know where their thumbs are on one team and expect that the match will be enjoyable. Sure, I enjoy the occasional one-sided stomp but- when they are every game- what's the point?

    This has gotten a lot worse since Beyond Light but I haven't heard anything about it beyond the "we are fixing the glitch where the one-sided stomps end slightly-earlier."

    This topic has come up in multiple subreddits, Twitter, and even the Bungie forums but I have yet to see any acknowledgement of this issue.

    How about you all? Have you noticed that the lobbies are out of whack?

    Luke Smith on Updating Old Subclasses

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 07:13 AM PST

    Every cosmetic item ever introduced to D2's Eververse store should be available to purchase with Silver or Bright Dust at any time.

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 04:53 PM PST

    I've waited TWO YEARS for Tess to sell the 'Eyes of Mercury' ornament for the Warlock exotic gauntlets 'Sunbracers', ever since it was first introduced back in Season of the Forge. I'm currently at Season Pass rank 200 for the sole purpose of grinding Eververse engrams. You know, the Engram without a proper knockout system? I still need countless emotes, exotic ornaments, and cosmetics... but HECK YEAH, BUNGIE! GIVE ME MORE BLUE TRANSMAT EFFECTS AND LEGENDARY SPARROWS I GOT 3 YEARS AGO!!!

     

    Right now, in Destiny 1, you can literally go to the Eververse Kiosk in the Tower and buy any past Eververse item, at any time. The fact that this system doesn't exist in Destiny 2, where Eververse is much more prevalent, is pathetic.

     

    Malfeasance's exotic weapon ornament 'Aim To Misbehave' gets sold literally on a WEEKLY basis, while 'Eyes of Mercury' and other items haven't been available for either BD or Silver for YEARS now.

     

    So please, Bungie. Either put Eververse engrams on a guaranteed knockout system, or let players buy any item that has ever been in the store at any time. The only exception could be holiday-specific items, but that's a compromise I'm willing to make. How about you?

    Heads Up: Tomorrow will be a REALLY good day for farming cookies

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 11:59 AM PST

    The Legend Lost Sector tomorrow is Veles Labyrinth, which can easily be completed in 2 minutes (if not less).

    Veles Labyrinth increases your Arc damage by +50%. Arc kills drop Electric Flavors. All enemies in the lost sector are Hive, which drops Chitin Powder. The chest gives 16 Essence of Dawning (and a chance at Exotic Helmets aka the new Beyond Light exotics Mask of Bakris, Precious Scars and Dawn Chorus)

    Chitin Powder + Electric Flavors = Etheric Coldsnaps for Variks

    Every run will easily give you the ingredients for 1 cookie and you'll get the Essence you need for 1 cookie every run.

    If you want to prepare for tomorrow, here's a short video for getting consistent 2 minute Veles Labyrinth runs on whatever character you play.

    Can you allow us to remake or change our characters without having to delete them entirely?

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 07:59 PM PST

    Now this may seem kind of dumb or unnecessary but I think it would be quite easy and I nice touch to add to the game. My warlock is a male and recently took a toll because of the beyond light character changes. I would like the option to be able to change the look of my character. I don't want to delete my warlock because that is the character I main with almost all of my progress and quests. I deleted both my hunter and titan with beyond light because they looked different than how I wanted and because were the characters I played less. Whether I had to pay like 5$ to change my character or if it was just free. Also being able to change the gender or anything else to do with your character would most likely be a positive change. This was just a thought I had. What are your guys opinions?

    No cookies for Osiris during Dawning is sad

    A Fallen Captain has stolen presents from the children of the Last City! Get on your sparrows and chase him around the holiday-decorated Europa, culminating in a boss fight where you teach that nasty grinch Captain a lesson about Humanity's Holiday Spirit!

    Featuring: Nolan North as the Fallen, Nolan North as Variks, Nolan North as The Exo Stranger, Nolan North as Partridge I mean Crow. Also starring Nolan North as Grinch-1, The Fallen Exo who was created in the Deep Stone Crypt to steal holiday joy from children everywhere.

    Coming to a Core Playlist near y- no? Oh. No it's not. Sorry.

    Use the HUNTS to make us all chase one WORLD BOSS.

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 11:24 AM PST

    The idea of the Hunts is actually kinda good, but the execution is boringt.

    To spice it up, Bungie should instead have us all hunting one giant boss with a bajillion hit points that we all have to damage. Like in other games, the entire community has to work to take down this enemy.

    Every location is a random public area that the community has to find, and all the damage done counts towards its eventual defeat.

    Rewards could be given by percentage:

    Top 1% of damage dealers gets X reward and all rewards from other precentages

    Top 5% of damage dealers gets X rewards and all rewards from every percentage except 1%

    Top 10% of damage dealers gets X reward and all rewards from every % except 5 and 1

    etc etc

    Being lucky enough to land the final blow gets you a masterworked legendary and an exotic.

    This would be such a fun event. It should be a unique boss, and massive. Upvote if you like this idea.

    I want to see more Ghosts. Nobody ever sees our Ghosts outside of hacking, reviving, or opening Director

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 01:57 PM PST

    And opening the Director can be bypassed by pressing "Start-Select" on console or ESC and Tab in quick succession

    I propose a change!

    PVP. During the character splash screen, our Ghosts should appear alongside our Guardians

    PVE. A toggle-able option, much like Helmets in the Tower, that puts our Ghost over our shoulder at all times

    Thoughts?

    Bungie, you sure "helped" those who play with only one character. But you just completely ruined the BD economy for those who play with three characters.

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 05:36 AM PST

    Before, I could grind weekly bounties for 4 weeks to get the ornaments for my three characters. Now it's double that time. Bounties are still time consuming, tho. (looking at you Might of the Traveler), and eververse prices didn't even get adjusted neither. I just don't get why Bungie punishes us like this.

    The amount of BD from the season pass is cool, I guess, but once you pick those up, you are screwed.

    Just revert the 100BD nerf, please.

    Sunsetting really hit me today.

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 01:10 PM PST

    I was gonna do a couple runs of the legendary lost sector today to farm for dawning essence, and wanted to run xeno+ikelos smg+and a kinetic special. However as I was looking through everything I had, I realized that besides long shadow and and toil and trouble, the only available kinetic specials are from raids. Trials isn't around rn and hasn't been for a while, and you can't get hawthornes shotgun or perfect paradox as world drops and I don't have any atm. This is not good. It makes me feel like I have to use bastion or chaperone or until I do a raid, my only option is toil and trouble (I haven't got a long shadow in a while). I would really like to see some more kinetic specials.

    Does anybody use that Stasis Grenade Launcher or was this another cool but useless exotic?

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 07:23 AM PST

    I think I only used that weapon during the story missions just to get it. After that I used it here and there but it never seemed to be very useful or powerful. Weapons like Witherhoard, Ruinous Effigy, and Divinity were exotics that we're super creative and equally useful in their own right. I think stasis had a similar prospects by making the shards really strong AoE damaging and causing slowing effects (in PvE only), but instead they just tickle most enemies. (Talking about the shatter itself, not the frozen ads).

    Here's the Armor of the Ballistic Simiform, a legendary armor set I designed with a set bonus!

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 12:39 PM PST

    Here's the link: https://imgur.com/a/67tI8C4 (scroll to the end for a cute bonus drawing, you won't be disappointed)

    TLDR: Set bonuses would be so cool in this game and would provide an additional element to picking your gear.

    A recent blog post by Bungie stated that they will be making adding intrinsic gameplay elements to legendary armor, such that picking up a new piece of armor will provide an opportunity to play differently.

    It's a bit of a vague statement, but I love the idea behind it. The way I see it, their plans can be implemented in a variety of ways; one of which is armor set bonuses, granting players intrinsic perks when they equip multiple pieces of armor from the same armor set. This set has a 2 piece bonus and a 4 piece bonus, so that players can mix-and match the armor with an exotic of their choosing or other armor sets with potential 2 or 3 piece set bonuses.

    This set bonus is perfect for the shotgun ape style of play, which is characterized by a lot of jumping and sliding at enemies. I've also taken a bit of a "smarter" approach to this playstyle, where instead of keeping your shotgun out all the time, the set bonus instead aims to have the player switch weapons often, as the perk would need to be activated while the shotgun is stowed.

    While you're here, I'd love to hear your thoughts about my artwork! I am both willing and able to have an in-depth discussion on how this set bonus's mechanics work, damage numbers, or about any other part of the ideas that I've put forth.

    Now, I can answer a few of the "whys" behind my decisions:

    1. Why airborne final blows? I think that aerial gameplay is very engaging. Icentivising the player to move in a third axis makes for more interesting gameplay, where players have tradeoffs between becoming a target and losing a bit of accuracy and getting a bonus from succeeding despite it. On the design side, many apes are 'arboreal', in that they spend a lot of time moving between trees; this way the set bonus is thematic with the ape theme, swinging around in the air.

    2. Why give chain lightning to only arc shotguns? Most of our meta shotguns are Kinetic (Astral) or Solar (Felwinter), so to give a bonus to using weapons that are out of the meta would create more variety in picking gear. Also, it's not like meta weapons need any more help than they already have to be lethal or useful.

    3. Is the 2 piece bonus too weak? I actually thought about this a lot. Originally, activating Arboreal Transfer would generate one shotgun round and load it into stowed shotguns. When I asked around, people immediately said that doing so would completely break the ammo economy and would be unhealthy for both PvE and PvP. Thus instead it works as an auto-loading holster. Remember that this is legendary armor and not an exotic, so the set bonus should be tame and balanced around what gameplay elements legendary gear can provide.

    4. This is a titan armor set. What about hunters or warlocks? I don't play hunter or warlock, so I'm not super qualified to make an armor set based around their capabilities. Feel free to share some ideas of other cool set bonuses, or just your thoughts on armor set bonuses in general!

    Please, keep Dragonfly on Cold Front

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 10:27 AM PST

    This is regarding this tweet: https://twitter.com/A_dmg04/status/1339254328729595904

    It's a good perk but nothing OP, can't see why an event gun couldn't have it for variety's sake. The only especial thing about it is that it allows you to generate warmind cells with wrath of rasputin, but so does the ikelos without the need to kill with the splash of a dragonfly kill. Otherwise it does little damage, I don't think it breaks anything. Please, consider leaving it.

    Quality of Life thing, can we choose what weapons our guardians can be seen holding on the menu screens?

    Posted: 16 Dec 2020 06:24 PM PST

    What I mean by this is that currently we can only be seen holding kinetic weapons on the character select/ inventory/inspect player screens. What bothers me with this is that energy, and power weapons are as cool looking, and detailed as the kinetic ones. My idea is to allow us to favorite a weapon, maybe by pushing the left stick, sort of like locking a piece of gear with the right stick. This would make this weapon the one our guardian is holding while being viewed. I say this because, a lot of people use energy or power weapons more than kinetic, that way if a warlock is primarily a riskrunner user, or a titan prefers using the lament, or a hunter wants to show off a fusion rifle, they can display that. And maybe even, dare I say. Let that favorite weapon be the one you have equipped by default whenever your start a mission, or drop into free roam. It is annoying to have to switch to the weapon you use all the time anyways. Just my two cents on the matter.
