- This Week At Bungie 2/18/2021
- Daily Questions [2021-02-19]
- No matter what, if a Destiny movie or series is getting made, Lance Reddick needs to be Zavala in every media.
- Battlegrounds should count as Strikes for bounties and quests.
- PVE enemy lag has become really bad again
- If weapons are going to have 12 perks in each slot they should drop with multiple choices
- Bungie opening Amsterdam publishing office, doubling size of Bellevue HQ, planning multiple teams and new IPs
- Infamy reset reward was a trust
- Bungie Prepares for Future Growth in 2021
- Crucible is Now a Place for Sweats to Play Casually, but Not for Casuals to Play
- I know its a grind, but please participate in the Battlegrounds mode if you join in
- Stasis - A handmade dice set by me, inspired by the Darkness
- If you’re solo queuing into the 1270 Ordeal, please bring at least one anti champion mod
- Add Tyra the cryptarch to the HELM
- Raid team overlooking Europa. While doing this illustration it got me thinking, I wish bungie made 6 man teams possible for patrol, or having the option to have 6 people for strikes. Should be a norm with the new engine update and next-gen. Feels bad leaving out people in a group of 3+ people.
- "Begin Rite of Proving" could refill all ammo, like Raid Banners do. Would be useful.
- With Destiny moving into new Media, a Clone Wars style cartoon where arcs last 1-3 episodes and jump around chronologically would be really cool for the Destiny Universe.
- I would like the vibe of the Presage mission to be the vibe of Witch Queen. Bungie did horror so well
- Please Bungie... Let the tier 3 (5 hammer charge) umbral focused armor drop with a minimum of 62 rather than 58
- Why does Katabasis hate high-fives?
- This week's Exo Challenge with Dead Man's Tale is basically an old-timey shooting range
- Farm the legendary lost sector today
- Bringing back exotic class items with incentive and purpose
- You should not get frozen out of your super.
- Shout-out to whoever designed the Trash Compacter room in the new mission
- Sundering Glare Mod is WAY BETTER than you think... It stacks with Divinity and can be triggered by shooting your own Divinity Crits! A free 50% total damage buff
| Posted: 18 Feb 2021 02:09 PM PST Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/50114 This week at Bungie, we intercepted a distress signal. Strange things are afoot. Guardians have discovered a distress signal and Commander Zavala has ordered that the source be investigated. A mysterious derelict ship lurks in the abyss of space. Terrifying sounds of the unknown ring from within. What puzzles and treasures await? Find out for yourself by starting the mission from inside the Arms Dealer strike – this week's Nightfall: The Ordeal. We don't want to spoil anything and do recommend going into the new Presage Exotic mission without reading up on what horrors await but did want to give anyone who is curious the sneakiest of peeks.
If you did happen to get sidetracked during your Arms Dealer Nightfall, it's worth looping back to earn this week's featured weapon. We are hearing good things about Palindrome which was a popular Hand Cannon from the Destiny 1 era. That's not all that went live this week. A new Battleground has opened on the Cosmodrome with more huge engagements that will pit heavily outnumbered fireteams up against large waves of enemies who have entrenched themselves in defensive positions. Don't forget to pick up a few of those Cosmodrome bounties before you start taking out the Cabal, one by one. Iron BannerNext week, Lord Saladin will return to the Tower for the first time in Season of the Chosen. He brings with him Iron Banner bounties that will grant you pinnacle drops. This Season will have The Time-Worn Spire and Multimach CCX returning from the first year of Destiny 2 with random rolls for the first time. There will also be a new perk called Iron Reach that can roll on these two weapons. Iron Reach will massively increase range with the tradeoff of decreased stability. Try it out and let us know what you think! The Iron Will armor set also returns, updated to accept new Combat Style mods. Equip your most powerful gear and ready your favorite weapons. And remember, capture those zones. Iron Banner and bonus Valor begins at 9 AM on February 23, running through 9 AM on March 2. PSR IS HAUNTED (IN SPACE)It's time now to turn things over to the experts on our Player Support Team who are tracking any known issues and when their fixes are going live. This is their report.
Movie TimeIt's time for another MOTW. This is your chance to show off your movie-making skills and put together a Destiny related video to show off to the community. We pick a few winners and send them a cool emblem. It really is that simple. Here are a few of our favorites from this week. Movie of the Week: A Guardian's Journey Movie of the Week: Flawless Save! If you see your video above, congratulations! Please make sure you have your Bungie.net profile in the description of the video so we can get you your emblem. Void Yeet and GreetAnd now it's time for the art. Stationary art. Much like the moving images from above, we also like to feature the beautiful, crafted images that sit still and let you soak it all in. All of these pieces are created by artists in our community and this our chance to highlight a few of our favorites each week. Art of the Week: Enemy has Invaded
Art of the Week: Void Team
It's a short TWAB this week, but you have Battlegrounds to conquer and spooky ships to explore so I didn't want to take up any more of your time. We're glad to see you are enjoying Season of the Chosen so far, and there's definitely more coming. Next week, the last Battleground will go live on Nessus and the salad man himself will return to the Tower. As always, please keep the feedback coming. It's invaluable to hear all of the things you are enjoying about this Season so we can lean into creating more of them in the future, as well as the things you dislike so we can improve on them as well. Now go solve a mystery in the dead of space. But when you board that ship, whatever you do, don't let your light go out. Have fun, be brave. <3 Cozmo [link] [comments] |

| Battlegrounds should count as Strikes for bounties and quests. Posted: 18 Feb 2021 04:29 PM PST They're practically Strikes-lite, and they're even in the Strikes section. If they counted as Strikes in bounties and quests that would just make parts of the seasonal grind so much quicker. [link] [comments] |
| PVE enemy lag has become really bad again Posted: 18 Feb 2021 06:48 AM PST Since Beyond Light me and my friends noticed heavy increases in PVE enemies lagging, teleporting and rubberbanding. Sometimes they even glitch into walls or the ground because of this. They also regenerate large chunks of health when they receive too much damage too quickly (e.g. from Lament, Rocket Lauchers, one-shot supers ...). There are also more and more occurrences of Warmind Cells disappearing when there are too many things happening around it (and yes I'm sure that my blueberry teammate didn't shoot it, it just instantly despawns by itself). Certain perks like Dragonfly or Chain Reaction also seem to stop working when a lot of animations are happening. It is especially bad in high density zones like the Raid, Gambit or this season's Battlegrounds. I've wasted tons of ammo on enemies that suddenly teleport to the other end of the map or simply reset their health bar as if I've never hit them. It's very annoying and detrimental to the gunplay experience and I hope Bungie can deploy some network improvements to bring this back to an acceptable level. [link] [comments] |
| If weapons are going to have 12 perks in each slot they should drop with multiple choices Posted: 18 Feb 2021 07:55 AM PST Right now when farming for the Palindrome you have 1/36 chance of getting the god roll of perks you are looking (excluding mag and barrel) which is pretty reasonable. If you are farming for one of the playlist activities (already have RNG and a bad drop rate) you have 1/144 chance (excluding mag and barrel). Having two perks in each slot changes those chances back to 1/36. Edit: Right now god roll chances are 1/9072 with 12 perks in each slot. My suggestion changes that to 1/2268. [link] [comments] |

| Infamy reset reward was a trust Posted: 18 Feb 2021 11:19 AM PST That hard locked 1100 hand cannon gonna help so much with the power grind. Edit: honestly shocked at how much attention this caught lmao. To be clear I understand it's a good gun, however I feel like it would be better implemented if "sunset" weapons were purchasable through a kiosk or something. I can't imagine anyone being super stoked about it unless it was something they were actively looking to get it. Also, if that helpful award cost one of y'all money to give this post you're a madman/woman. Edit 2: stop awarding this! All I did was post a mild irritation so some of y'all could laugh.

| Bungie Prepares for Future Growth in 2021 Posted: 18 Feb 2021 09:23 AM PST Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/50109 Bungie Prepares for Future Growth in 2021 with Studio Expansion, Key Talent Investments, and New Board Members Bungie Increases Bellevue, WA Headquarters to over 208,000 Square Feet, Planning a Complete Technical Modernization Alongside Plans to Open up its First International Office in 2022 Bungie Announces Key Talent Additions and Investments at the Executive Level in Preparation for Future IP Growth and Expanding the Highly-Acclaimed and Successful Destiny Universe into New Media Bungie Welcomes New Members to the Bungie Board of Directors from the Entertainment and Media Industry - Trace Harris and Pamela Kaufman Bungie, an independent, employee-owned creator of world-famous videogames like Halo and Destiny, today announced major initiatives to prepare for the company's expected and rapid future growth, including the appointment of Trace Harris and Viacom CBS' Pamela Kaufman to its board of directors. "We're grateful and humbled that our independent success allows us to invest in our talented people and headquarters this year and are delighted to welcome Trace Harris and Pamela Kaufman to the Board of Directors," said Pete Parsons, CEO of Bungie. "The past several years have been a time of tremendous growth and opportunity for Bungie. We are home to some of the brightest and best talent in the industry, and we look forward to expanding upon both our talent pool this year and increasing the resources to support them. Pamela and Trace also bring incredible media and entertainment experience, and we're looking forward to taking advantage of their proven acumen as we continue to build the future of our company." HQ Expansion, International Office Coming in 2022In January, as part of its ongoing plan for sustainable growth, Bungie broke ground on an extensive expansion and redesign of its worldwide headquarters. Estimated to be complete in Fall 2022, this project will increase Bungie's HQ footprint from 84,000 sq. ft. to more than 208,000 sq. ft. In addition to building state-of-the-art facilities to support the growth and development of their talented employees, one of the primary drivers of Bungie's expansion is to increase the commitment to the long-term development of Destiny 2, tell new stories in the Destiny Universe, and create entirely new worlds in to-be-announced IPs. The new facility will include a reimagining of its Bellevue, WA-based studio space to support multiple project teams, including those outside of the Destiny Universe. Designed by award-winning architect NBBJ, the new HQ is centered on collaborative "neighborhoods" built to support the spirit of deeply integrated creative collaboration that defines Bungie's success and a hybrid workforce of both remote and on-site staff. In 2022, Bungie will open its first international office in Amsterdam. This office space represents Bungie's developing global business and will be home to the company's growing Publishing and Marketing divisions, ensuring Bungie's ongoing commitment to unify and expand on their passionate player community all over the world. Key Personnel Additions and Investments AnnouncedAlongside the additions to its Board of Directors, Bungie has also announced several key talent additions and investments into its renowned talent pool. Newer appointments to the Bungie Leadership Team for the years of industry expertise they bring from inside and outside Bungie: Luis Villegas (Chief Technology Officer), Danielle Porter (Chief Financial Officer), and Don McGowan (General Counsel). To expand the Destiny IP and bring new stories and experiences to their highly engaged community, Bungie appointed Mark Noseworthy (Vice President, Destiny Universe) and Luke Smith (Executive Creative Director, Destiny Universe) to oversee and prepare for the expansion of the Destiny Universe into additional media. Justin Truman (General Manager, Destiny 2) takes over the successful development leadership of Destiny 2. Finally, Bungie has appointed Jonny Ebbert (Chief Creative Officer) and Zach Russell (General Manager, Incubation) to build and drive the creative vision and foundation for Bungie's future worlds alongside the next generation of leaders at Bungie, with plans to bring at least one new IP to market before 2025. Jason Jones (Chief Vision Officer) takes on a talent-facing role to help Bungie's top creative leadership unlock their full potential at the company. Bungie Welcomes Entertainment and Media Expertise to the Board of DirectorsBungie has announced the addition of two new members to its Board of Directors: Trace Harris, a finance and strategy executive, and Pamela Kaufman, President of Global Consumer Products for ViacomCBS. Harris and Kaufman bring years of expertise in multi-media IP expansion alongside their acumen in business operations scaling and join NetEase's Simon Zhu as external members to Bungie's Board. Trace Harris is a finance and strategy executive with deep experience in governance, financial transactions, and partnerships for industry-leading companies across the entertainment and technology sectors. She serves as a board member, chair of the Compensation Committee and member of the Audit and the Mergers & Acquisitions Committees for Altair Engineering, a global software company in the areas of data analytics product development and high-performance computing and data analytics. Harris' professional experience includes 13 years with global entertainment company Vivendi, most recently as its senior US executive for strategy, finance, and M&A. Pamela Kaufman is President, ViacomCBS Global Consumer Products, overseeing the worldwide licensing and merchandising of ViacomCBS' portfolio of brands spanning Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, BET, CBS, Showtime and Paramount Pictures, and iconic franchise properties. Kaufman previously served as President of Consumer Products and Chief Marketing Officer for Nickelodeon. Bungie's Board of Directors is chaired by Pete Parsons. The Board offers guidance and information to Bungie's leadership team in support of Bungie's mission to create hopeful worlds that inspire passionate player communities and lifelong friendships.

| Crucible is Now a Place for Sweats to Play Casually, but Not for Casuals to Play Posted: 18 Feb 2021 07:43 AM PST As a PvE main and lesser-skilled Crucible player, I miss being able to meaningfully participate in 6-person matches as I did in D1 and early D2. Even in D1 when I didn't yet have my Thorn, and seemingly everyone else did, Crucible was far more fun than it is now. Now even games of Control are often "called" because they are one-sided curb stomps. Every guy on the other team seems to be a Flawless running with Felwinters or Trials guns. (Where exactly are all those tryhards that said they wanted SBMM removed so they could get a break from running the meta? They certainly aren't in my matches...) And even when my side wins, it's meaningless because the 1-2 top guys are basically carrying the team. We desperately need a regular 6-person mode with SBMM. I know many people that have abandoned quests with a Crucible component because they just don't want to deal with the curbstomping and teabagging anymore. I have a friend that has recently tried Destiny and is looking to sample everything, but I honestly can't think of what Crucible mode to suggest he try, because Competitive is very team-based and there isn't a single 6-player mode (outside the utter chaos that is Mayhem) that doesn't result in a game dominated by a few better-skilled players. Yeah, yeah, git gud, I know. But I miss when Crucible was actually playable for everyone. [link] [comments] |
| I know its a grind, but please participate in the Battlegrounds mode if you join in Posted: 18 Feb 2021 09:26 PM PST I ran 5 Battleground modes tonight to finish up some weekly challenges. The first one went fine. Second one tougher because one player left so we two-manned it to the finish. But in each of the last 3 runs we got matched with a person who would just sit back through each stage until it was time to move on to the next part. Literally would drive his sparrow to a rock or something to hide behind in the corner somewhere and just wait for the next part to get to. First run, i just let it go. Whatever happens sometimes. But then it happened the very next match again with a completely different player and i wasnt having it. So i started purposely luring the enemies over to where the AFK'er would hide and hang around him and even got him killed a couple times and then he got the hint and we finished the run. The last run, same thing. AFK'er right off the bat. This was on Europa this time. AFK'er drove his sparrow to one of the ledges and just sat there in his chair emote. So i told my buddy were leaving the match. Make that guy annoyed and he'll either back out too or actually try and play himself. Don't care. F him. Don't do this please. Just play it and grind it out like the rest of have too. Don't make it a harder than it already is. Edit: Thank you for the Awards! Very kind of you [link] [comments] |
| Stasis - A handmade dice set by me, inspired by the Darkness Posted: 18 Feb 2021 09:04 AM PST |
| If you’re solo queuing into the 1270 Ordeal, please bring at least one anti champion mod Posted: 18 Feb 2021 06:11 AM PST Just got out of an ordeal where neither had any anti champion mods and insisted on just skipping past every champion. We all want a Palindrome, so make our experience a little less of a pain and equip a single mod [link] [comments] |
| Add Tyra the cryptarch to the HELM Posted: 18 Feb 2021 09:34 PM PST We need a way to decrypt primes and well lets be honest, Tyra is barely interacted with on the farm. Simple solution is move her to the Helm. what do you guys think about this? let me know. Edit: as MajesticPineappl pointed out there is no farm anymore. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 18 Feb 2021 12:38 PM PST A collection of tales from the Destiny universe with each arc being 1-3 episodes that would allow for the showing of lore moments not easily described in game. The list i have come up with so far is:
If anyone thinks of more I will be happy to add them with credit. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Feb 2021 01:01 AM PST The story of that quest I'm not sure will have much to do with Witch Queen but the vibe or horror and the tension was great. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Feb 2021 06:40 AM PST Let me get this straight... the focusing of armor is really Good already, it guarantees 20+ stats on the particular stat You focus... IT IS AMAZING But the fact that it is most of the time a 58 or 59 stat roll means that:
The second reason is more the "feels bad side" rather than a major issue... Am I the only one that feels this way? Dont get me wrong the drops are reaaally fucking nice... but if they were only at a Higher total stat count... [link] [comments] |
| Why does Katabasis hate high-fives? Posted: 18 Feb 2021 07:14 PM PST |
| This week's Exo Challenge with Dead Man's Tale is basically an old-timey shooting range Posted: 18 Feb 2021 04:46 AM PST Chill out on one of the pillars in the last room and pretend the Harpies are tin cans. Yee-Haw. [link] [comments] |
| Farm the legendary lost sector today Posted: 18 Feb 2021 11:42 AM PST Today's the perfect day to farm the legendary lost sector. It's Perdition on Europa, arc burn, and the exotic chest piece is the reward. Throw on your arc energy weapon and anarchy and farm those new exotic chest pieces!! Hope this helps! [link] [comments] |
| Bringing back exotic class items with incentive and purpose Posted: 18 Feb 2021 12:12 PM PST Spoilers: Minor Spoilers regarding the new mission. TLDR: Make exotic class items able to be earned through endgame challenges and allow them to give a little bonus in said activity. Bungie I have been talking with my clan and we have thought of a way to bring back exotic class items and make them aspirational loot. Allow exotic class items to be rewards for completing hard challenges within the game. The reward/look of the class item could be tiered in a way that Guardian Games rewards were. For any OSRS players think of achievement diaries (or at least how they used to be back when I played). I will use the new Presage mission as an example and hunter cloaks for simplicity. (Granted this may need to be on a dungeon more so than this mission or a heroic variant to allow for the proper endgame style of grind). - Are you able to duo the mission? Boom. You are rewarded with an old tattered cloak that has the tex mechanica symbol on it. - Solo the mission? Now your cloak is brand new and everyone seeing you knows you have some skill or can potentially cheese stuff. - Solo flawless the mission? That cloak is going to look absolutely badass and maybe even glow with the bull horns on it and everyone who sees you will expect you know how to heroic PE's (except the RNG taken blight /s). The final tier of the class item could give a small bonus to whatever is was tied to for obtaining it. In this case when you have the final tier of the item equipped you would get 2 drops of DMT at the end of the mission. This makes it aspirational because it rewards the effort put in but does not make the buff unfair to those who don't have it. This was just me randomly spitballing ideas but I thought it would be a cool way to show off achievements in game other than just emblems or shaders and such. This would also not require Bungie to have to develop a full armor set and allow for some uniqueness in your fashion. Edit: Added /s for clarity on Taken Blight comment [link] [comments] |
| You should not get frozen out of your super. Posted: 18 Feb 2021 07:36 AM PST I know stasis is still problem in the crucible and so I offer a solution. Stasis should not under any circumstance freeze a player out of their super. Your going to tell me that I wait ~4 min just to have it all drained. The slowing effect would work just fine and the damage increase from freezing should also still apply but the getting frozen out of a super is not fun. Or you keep the super energy not used if frozen out of said super. Just an idea to make pvp feel better. (freeze time could be less as well as the break out time) [link] [comments] |
| Shout-out to whoever designed the Trash Compacter room in the new mission Posted: 18 Feb 2021 10:00 AM PST I'm sure people have different names for this room, but it is the room where the walls close in on you. Without a doubt my favorite part of the mission. It really makes you feel like your in a SAW trap. The stress and intensity is so high as you fly above the vents looking for a little bit of blue, all while screebs are spawning and you are trying not to get blown to shit. Whoever the people are who designed this room deserve a raise, and give them dental. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Feb 2021 07:25 AM PST TL'DR: Video Version here, around 4 minutes long. CICK HERE or read on. Text TL'DR: Sundering Glare (20% debuff) stacks with Divinity (30% debuff) and Titan Bubble (35% buff) allowing a total of +85% increased damage, and the mod lasts 12 seconds and can be triggered using Divinity by hitting your own Divinity crits! I did some testing and this took a lot of effort and work to do. If anyone thinks I've done something wrong let me know, but I feel 100% that I am accurate with my results. So I tested Sundering Glare using the Guiding Sight Scout Rifle with no dps effecting perks or mods etc. Activating Sunder Glare takes 4 Scout Rifle critical shots from a distance of around 15-20 meters and once activated you get a damage buff on the effected target for 12 seconds which is a 20% increase. TEST RESULTS: Normal Shot = 3,612 (base damage) Sundering Glare (+20%) = 4,334 Tether (+0%) + Sundering Glare (+20%) = 4,334 (-10%) Tether (+30%) = 4,695 Divinity (+30%) = 4,695 Titan Bubble (+35%) = 4,875 Divinity (+30%) + Sundering Glare (+20%) = 5,634 Titan Bubble (+35%) + Sundering Glare (+20%) = 5,850 Titan Bubble (+35%) + Tether (+0%) + Sundering Glare (+20%) = 5,850 (-10%) Titan Bubble (+35%) + Divinity (+30%) = 6,338 Titan Bubble (+35%) + Divinity (+30%) + Sundering Glare (+20%) = 7,605 (+85%) Titan Bubble (+35%) + Divinity (+30%) + Tether (+0%) + Sundering Glare (+20%) = 7,605 (+85% / -30%) Note: When Sundering Glare is active, it blocks the Tether hitting the weakened target, the Tether included in the last test keeps max DPS because the Divinity is activating Sundering Glare simultaneously. EDIT 1: From some comments I understand that the math is incorrect and apologises about that, I hope I still manage to explain how it works even with my terrible math skills! Appreciate the support and comments :) [link] [comments] |
