    The fact that they astral horizon no longer drops QuickDraw, but old rolls with QuickDraw get to stay unchanged in absolute bullshit

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 05:10 PM PDT

    Either it's broken and needs to be removed from high impact shotguns,or it's fine and should stay.

    Don't do this half ass wishy washy bullshit where players who weren't blessed by RNG at a certain time are forever locked out of getting the best perk on the shotgun.

    You might as well had just removed the whole god damn shotgun from the loot pool this season,because it's absolutely not worth using an astral horizon without QD

    Trials has reached 365,000 players this weekend, making it the highest population the playlist has seen in D2

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 06:34 AM PDT

    The previous high was on Burning Shrine all the way back on Week 1 at 358,866. The current count for this weekend is 365,759 with more than a full day to go.

    This is obviously due to Igneous Hammer at 3 wins/bounty completion and not sustainable, but I really hope it shows Bungie that the playlist can thrive when there is attainable, quality loot.

    Edit: For those saying it's just people that are cliff diving

    There are currently 75,781 Flawless players and 114,728 Flawless characters. This ranks 3rd all time, behind Week 2 of Trials and Adept Igneous Hammer week.

    Year 1 and 2 Solstice Armor should free/auto transmog unlocks for player who earned them

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 01:27 PM PDT

    There is no reason that we should have to grind for rare materials for armor that we already grinded our asses off for (Some of us did all 3 characters all 3 years). Both Y1 and Y2 Solstice armor became useless for us once the Fall DLC dropped and now all that armor is either sitting in our vaults or has been sharded. While transmog will allow us to convert that armor into universal ornaments. we should not have to grind a rare material for armor that we already spent hours working on. While we do not know how rare the transmog consumable will be, it will likely be rarer (certain amount per week) to get since you have the option to purchase it with Silver, and Bungie will understandably want to incentivize player to spend $$. Letting the Y1 and Y2 Solstice Armor be free universal ornaments unlocks would make lots of players happy and would let us use our transmog mats for other armor that we want to convert. (Letting us pick glows too would nice)

    Bungie Store Support Non Existent, Sent My Emissary Hoodie To Wrong Address

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 10:50 AM PDT

    I ordered my emissary hoodie on September 18th. At the end of October I moved. I have since sent four emails to support over the last few months trying to get them to change the shipping address. Never got a response to any of them. It was now shipped to the old address. UPS said they would not hold for pickup or change the address to a shipment unless it had already failed to be delivered. Their driver just left it at the old house, and I tried to go over and get it from them but they aren't answering the door. I even asked the old landlord to let them know that it was coming there and to leave it out for me.

    Anyway how do I get a hold of bungie support to have them ship me another one? Because apparently the email that goes to bungie store support, no one checks.

    Edit: to clarify some details. I use the contact us Link at the bottom of the order page. And I sent emails at the end of October after I moved, November and December with no replies.

    I then signed up for UPS home account service or whatever they call it on their website. It states that you can make delivery changes etc... Then when it shipped last week it told me that it couldn't make changes without a failed delivery attempt. And when calling their 1-800 number as soon as I give the tracking number it just would cycle around and not connect me to anyone even if I just kept saying representative over and over.

    Edit 2: I got a text from the person that lives there apologizing that they opened it without checking the name and didn't know what it was. So hopefully I can just go over and get it when they get home from work. (They left it outside for me, so I was lucky and got it, whew)

    With Bungie expanding, hopefully they can expand their store with more help for better support. So things like this doesn't happen to anyone else.

    Edit 3: So this is the reply from Bungie after this gained traction. Pretty worthless considering they overlooked multiple requests before shipment to change the address, and UPS wouldn't do anything, and only way they would get it back is if the person who did receive it was nice enough to take it to UPS and say it was the wrong address.

    Hello xxx,

    I am so sorry. Unfortunately as your order is shipped, we cannot change the address. Your best bet is to contact UPS/USPS depending on where in the delivery process your order is to see if they can reroute the item or hold it for you at a local postal branch. Worst case, when it is returned to us, we will contact you for information for reshipment. I apologize for the inconvenience.

    Caiatl is a better antagonist than Eramis in my eyes.

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 12:04 PM PDT

    It feels like the 2 characters are exactly the same: destroyed homeland, seeking revenge, seeking a new power to help them (in caiatl's case, the guardians).

    However, the overall plot here seems much better. Of course, we don't have a new planet, special effects, and enemy types that allowed beyond light to shine. But if on red war we got Caiatl instead of Gahl it would probably have been a better story (can't happen with the whole leviathan thing happening after the red war, but let's pretend it did for sake of argument).

    Let's all be honest. Eramis is Forsaken CTRL C CTRL V.

    At this point, if new Crucible maps aren’t a focus, at least consider bringing back the maps from the DCV.

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 07:00 AM PDT

    Meltdown. Solitude. Eternity. Equinox. Firebase Echo. Retribution. Vostok. Gambler's Ruin. Hell, even The Citadel. Sure they weren't the greatest of maps, but I'd argue they still play way better in Destiny 2 than any of the current D1 maps that were brought back (outside of maybe Widow's Court, only because the size of the map allows for larger playercounts and movement that isn't restricted.). The current D1 maps in D2 were designed around a different sandbox, different movement abilities, different player speeds, etc.

    These maps being brought out would breathe some life into the Crucible, even if only temporary. If you have to take out some maps too, I'd be okay personally (I'm looking at you, Dead Cliffs, Exodus Blue, and Convergence.).

    Every Season should strive to rotate maps in and out of the map pool too.

    Thoughts?

    Had this on the new SMG since it came out and it really does what it says on the tin, got me running about encounters like a madman, top props to the team for such a fun perk!

    Raise stack limits for Enhancement Prisms, Ascendant Shards, Spoils of Conquest

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 09:14 AM PDT

    Current limits for these: 10 for Ascendant Shards, 50 for Enhancement Prisms, 240 for Spoils of Conquest.

    These stack limits should be greatly increased. As it is, I have to keep a close watch on what goes to the postmaster to avoid some of these items getting pushed out from the torrent of blue gear and umbral engrams flowing into it.

    Also, Gunsmith materials are taking up 5 slots of my vault, being limited to 9,999 per stack. Some of these commodities should have no limit at all (like Legendary Shards).

    (And to answer the question, "Why don't you just spend X?" ... well, nothing really needs to be spent at the moment, so I'm saving for the future.)

    Raid Armour Mods Activate Powerful Friends and Radiant Light

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 04:54 AM PDT

    Not sure if this has been posted before, but raid armour mods like Enhanced Scanner Augment can activate the bonus effects of Arc mods without taking up a mod slot that you would use for other things like scavengers etc.

    Here's an image of it in action.

    EDIT - Title mentions Powerful Friends and Radiant Light as these are well known, but this will also work for others like Heavy Handed, Swift Charge, Reactive Pulse etc.

    EDIT 2 - I see a lot of people commenting that Arc mods will activate each other as long as you run them both. This is correct and by design. But this is useful for people who only want to run ONE Arc piece of armour to gain benefits from one mod.

    New player here, while I'm enjoying the game so far, I am confused at about everything.

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 01:56 PM PDT

    I downloaded the Destiny 2 knowing two things: it has a sudo-rival dynamic with Warframe and that there's one robot guy who could roast God himself if he wanted to.

    I really got into it, especially the gunplay feels amazing.

    However, I constantly feel lost. It's minor things really, but there are so many of them that it gets really frustrating. I don't know how to fit gold into that hammer from the orc guys, how the hell do all the currencies work, what subclass/ability should I choose for my warlock, how do i know if a gun is good etc.

    Lore questions also arose. I did a mission where we went do a place Prison of Elders with some guys callled Vex in it. How am I supposed to know what is going on if I just came here after fighting purple space pirates?

    I would really appreciate if you people could hand me some guides that you know are good, as well as any experience you may have gathered during your playtime.

    Thank you for any help.

    P.S. Please tell me there's an option to change your character's appearance, my guys head looks like a sad bowling ball.

    It would be a neat idea if they put past seasonal mods into the Monuments to Lost Lights kiosk.

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 04:05 PM PDT

    Maybe even, I don't know, use all these mod components I have as the currency to purchase them. Be broken down into seasons/expansions like the other items in there.

    Hey all you new Igneous Hammer owners, today is the perfect day to grind out a really good Kinetic Slug Shotgun to pair it with!

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 10:17 AM PDT

    Today is Blasphemer day at your local Altar of Sorrows.

    The Blasphemer is a re-issued precision frame kinetic shotgun whose old curated roll can still drop from the event, but new drops will be non-sunset. It has a lot in common with the Chaperone, but has a masterwork and can take mods!

    The curated roll rolls with:

    • Hammer-Forged Rifling
    • Accurized Rounds
    • Quickdraw
    • Opening Shot
    • and has a Range Masterwork

    If you don't already have a good kinetic to pair with your new IH, I highly recommend spending an hour or two grinding it out.

    Can we get a way to re-roll Masterwork Stat on the gun again?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 01:24 PM PDT

    We used to have this in Y1 and it was honestly great. Over time, we got some activities that allowed us to target a specific masterwork stat on the weapons (Menagerie, Wrathborn Hunts etc.) and the community loved it.

    Let's make use of weapon telemetries or mod components and let us re-roll the masterwork again. Would this really be too strong?

    I would rather have Trials once a month, and Iron Banner every weekend.

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 10:36 PM PDT

    Pretty much the title. But some reasoning below.

    I think I would like if Trials moved to a monthly event, rather than every weekend. Instead, Iron Banner should be the weekend event.

    As it stands, the reward for Trials are way too stingy for the amount of effort and stress involved. So much so, that I don't even bother unless the 3-4 other people in my clan who sometimes play pvp want to do it. I don't even try.

    On the other hand, I always play Iron Banner whenever it is available (especially since you don't need a fireteam to do it) and tend to enjoy it. Even past the point that I've done the pinnacle bounties, since you can earn the tokens.

    I think most people would be more willing to play trials if it wasn't every weekend, but rather for a week every month. Additionally, the rewards could be increased to incentivize more players to play. Although, more rewards might incentivize them alone.

    This way, the "Trials of Osiris" may actual feel like a trial, rather than that banner I click through every weekend.

    How would you feel about this?

    Why did Bungie move away from armor chromas?

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 12:32 PM PDT

    https://www.pinterest.com/pin/864057878489377044/

    About halfway through Destiny's second year, we got a mid year update that added new armor and activities. This armor came with an additional mod slot for chromas, which allowed the player to add a colored glow to each piece of armor. Eventually we got more sets that had this feature in Rise of Iron and while the chroma sets weren't as flashy as ornamented gear like the Age of Triumph or Rise of Iron sets, the chromas offered a unique form of customization.

    We've had similar glows added to D2 but in limited ways, like the Gambit Prime role armor sets, Solstice of Heroes armor or Trials glows for going flawless. But why haven't chromas been utilized more?

    Imagine being able to unlock glows for the core playlist armor sets (orange for the vanguard set, green for gambit, red for crucible).

    Imagine chromas being applied to weapons, similar to the glow that could be added to Black Armory weapons.

    There's so many possibilities that chromas could offer as a form of grindable customization (and probably an Eververse item via bright dust) that's its surprising it hasn't been used more.

    Gilded Conqueror takes 6 weeks of power leveling, and 6 weeks to get all of them done for the gilded triumphs at the earliest. All so you can wear it for a total of 3 weeks.

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 04:46 PM PDT

    Bungie stated in the Twab on 1/21 that

    Each Season, the optional gilding objectives will reset and may even change to fit the unique experiences of any given Season. All of the base objectives of the Title will be preserved, and your Title will revert to its typical purple coloring.

    The earliest you can get Conqueror is on 4/20 which is the day the last GM becomes available. The season ends on 5/11. I hope bungie has a plan to possibly extend the time the gilded title can be equipped. I've heard the idea of reverting once the next seasons GM's come out, or reverting once a player fails to 'renew' the gild the following season. Both are good solutions in my mind.

    TLDR; I think a gilded title that you have to work consistently at for 12 weeks to get should be able to be equipped for longer than 3 weeks.

    I made a timelapse of the Traveler through a full day/night cycle (@10k% speed). It turned out pretty neat.

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 09:21 AM PDT

    https://youtu.be/Gv-JENcZtxo

    I made this timelapse of the Traveler to bookend a lore reading video (and probably future videos).

    The original capture was nearly an hour long. Did not realize how long the cycle was when I set out to do this. Lol. Lots of switching weapons every few minutes to prevent timing out.

    Feel free to use this for whatever. It's 1440p, 60FPS on Ultra settings. Might make a cool live background or something.

    If you're a content creator or just someone that likes Destiny scenery, I also compiled a crapton of other environmental footage on my channel, which is also free for anyone to use.

    Side-note: If anyone is interested, here's a link to the lore reading video: From the Front

    This is one of the new lorebooks from Chosen. It's an audiobook style reading for people who prefer to listen. I wanted to stylize it like an old WW2 war propaganda film. Almost went with the iconic voice/accent, but it seemed like a little much. 😅 I've posted some of these here before and have done 15 lorebooks total, planning to do the entire catalog if possible.

    Edit: formatting, words

    Edit 2: u/360gameTV shared a similar timelapse from the Dawning event. Also pretty neat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNN5OdwEeYI

    I had already gone flawless a couple times this weekend but I wanted to grind some more wins for the title and ended up helping these some guys in my clan I hadn't met yet. At first I thought they were in there thirties but at some point one of them mentioned they had a granddaughter. One of them was even 1270 light. To all the cliff jumpers out there maybe actually play the game sometime you never know what might happen.

    Having your other Guardians in the Tower

    Posted: 22 Mar 2021 08:06 PM PDT

    Imagine if your other characters you're currently not playing show up in the tower as NPCs. Like for example, if I'm on Warlock and I go to the tower, my hunter could be leaning against a wall somewhere or my Titan is looking out onto the city on a railing. Or who knows they both are siting down together and enjoying some Ramen lol Idk. Also every time you enter the Tower they are in different spots so it would be like a treasure hunt trying to find them hahah. If you don't have alts then sorry. Would be a cool concept IMO.
