Ran Nightfall with my fireteam last night and we completely fell apart, not from the enemies but from nonstop laughing. One guy kept narrating like Shaxx, another ran headfirst into every exploding barrel, and I couldn’t hit a single shot. Shaxx would’ve muted our fireteam lol

We all know this sub is the epitome of great ideas and opinions....

So what are your ideas for improving destiny, what would you add/remove/change and why, and what features do you think the game needs to add/re-add?

Im sitting at around 315 power just because I find the power grind to be super monotonous, I just do a little at a time, I read at one point that the power grind will be a bit easier in Ash and Iron.

Will the changes make my leg of the power grind any easier or are the changes more to speed up the later part of the grind?

Every match I lose it’s because I play as a tank. The wonky feel of it, the special is garbage, the hitbox. It’s a fun game, don’t get me wrong, but when I flip 30 feet in the air unable to shoot while I’m basically a flying bird from NES duck hunt, that’s when I honestly don’t enjoy the gameplay.

I just had so much fun playing these builds, is the intention of EoF that these builds can still be used in endgame but you can build it around new weapons / armor or is the intention that every build type pre EoF is just not viable anymore?

I'm just not having fun trying to build around the new stuff atm and whenever I look at my loadouts i just get nostalgic and wanna play these builds again.

Just another weapon for me to want in the Special slot, I guess. :/

With how Edge of Fate is with it's story and gameplay loop, I got to thinking back on how Destiny has been since the beginning, and maybe rip off the rose tinted glasses we love to wear when looking back on the past content we've had and lost.

D1 launch: lackluster story due to being rewritten last second. D1 Crota and House: mediocre but gave us new activities. D1 taken king: the Holy Grail of Destiny storytelling D1 rise of iron: a good filler story as a means to wind down and prepare for destiny 2

D2 launch: story was great. Gameplay loop was not. D2 Osiris: lackluster filler, terrible gameplay loop D2 Warmind: better than Osiris, still bad gameplay loop D2 Forsaken: up there with Taken King on the pedestal of fantastic story. Revamped gameplay loop we desperately needed. D2 Shadowkeep: good story, good gameplay loop, fantastic build up for the next expansion. D2 Beyond light: all previous D2 content prior to shadowkeep was removed. Great story, good gear. D2 Witch Queen: Amazing story. Great post game activities. D2 Lightfall: severely lackluster story. Got boring towards the buildup to final shape. Longest expansion in terms of seasonal content. D2 The Final Shape: the ultimate finale to Destiny's 10 year saga. The avengers endgame of Destiny. Incredible story. Boring post game content due to burnout from the culmination of 10 years.

D2 Edge of Fate: great story. Boring and repetitive post game loop. Horrendous grind.

Destiny has had its ups and downs throughout the 10+ years of its existence. But it's seeming like we've had more downs than ups overall.

Thats it. It just needs to not exist in PvE. The Howl of the Storm Aspect could bring Stasis Titan to Consecration Primsatic Titan levels of meta if this one change was just added in the patch notes. Please Bungie..just add that note to the patch tomorrow and my life is yours. The changes already mentioned in addition to this would create the Stasis Nuke meta weve been waiting for, for like 3 years in PvE. Balancing be damned just give Stasis Titan this moment while you have the opportunity.

I think this is seriously the time for it and it would be amazing for Ash and Iron. Warlocks and Titans get 2 potentially massive buffs with this. Titans early on for the Stasis Subclass and Warlocks later for their buddy builds. Itd be perfect timing to help carry us into Renegades. One Simple Change Bungie. All I ask. Please and Thank you.

Just something I noticed in the content roadmap of YoP. It says on the bottom right, "Legendary Weapon and Armor Ornaments"

We did get the slime armor ornaments and the universal helmet at 110. But does anyone know what they meant by Legendary Weapon Ornament? Cause it seems like we didn't get that.

This has been bothering me since forever, because in all of the discussions and how split the community can be I'm wondering what is the actual distribution of people. This is even more interesting considering how often Bungie likes to highlight "free" content (i.e. Ash and Iron).

It would be great to also see when someone is sharing their opinions if they are a f2p player or someone who spends on dlc. Quite curious how many f2p players buy mtx too.

It looks like there is no public info available, and sadly one can't launch a poll here on D2 subreddit.

Hey all im going through the khvostov exotic tasks. I opened up a region chest while my inventory was full, resulting in me not pulling a lost encryption bit. Luckily I created space before opening up the 8 other chests but now I only have 8/9 bits that come from chests. Is there a way to respawn that chests or claim the bit from somewhere?

I don’t know about yall but the new dungeon lairs coming to portal actually sound really fun. i’m relatively new and although i’ve got a good grasp on the game and have done 1-2 dungeons, being able to practice these final encounters seems really fun, and ofc the rewards. btw anyone wanna run ghosts of the deep i need the exotic and its catalyst

Having spent most of this season deleting armour and replacing with T5 - I have now burnt through 3000 + enhancement cores buying prisms etc.. I am down to my last 20 , when can I go to farm some more.

- gunsmith bounties - 4 per character daily

- XUR trying to get either upgrade modules (1 core each when dismantled ) or cores themselves

????

Oh how the mighty have fallen. I long for the golden days of destiny past. A destiny that no longer exists and never will again. It's sad because I WANT to enjoy the game but simply can't with the awful changes they've made, especially with EoF. The Destiny I loved is dead

I've been 450 for about a month or so - so I've been able to see what a large majority of the player base has not - and I'm here to offer the ones who haven't gotten there a preview of what's to come.

1) You will run out of space in your vault. Quickly. If you haven't already. If you want a copy of each stat variation of armor - it will take 360 slots (120 per character). And that's just for one family of armor sets (techsec, etc).

2) God rolls are easy to come by. And it kills the drive. Big time.

In the past, chasing a god roll felt like this huge, rare achievement. It was kind of the big goal that kept you grinding. Then they brought in systems where you could basically guarantee yourself a top-tier weapon after turning in a handful of red borders. And, well, that kind of made those once-coveted rolls feel a bit too common. It took away that long-term drive to keep playing just to get that perfect drop.

Now it feels like we’re in this weird middle ground. Sure, you can get a pretty great roll without too much hassle, and that’s nice for more casual players. But once everyone can hit tier five and basically snag a god roll pretty quickly, the real incentive to keep grinding fades out. It’s halfway through the season, and suddenly the chase is gone. Because when everything is special, nothing is. It reminds me a lot more of vanilla Destiny.

What I’d really love to see is a system where you can get solid rewards without too much stress—so casual players aren’t left behind—but still keep those absolute best-in-slot god rolls a bit more elusive. That way, people who want to grind for that truly perfect roll still have that goal to chase after, and it keeps the game engaging for everyone.

I think that's what T5 was meant to be, but the current execution is poor. I think they should keep T5 rare. But let T4s still be great.

Caveat: there are a multitude of issues in the game i.e. the boring, uninspired, and isolating portal experience, lack of content, unrewarding raid loot, etc

This is just a post highlighting what you will experience in the coming months, as we head to renegades.

I know there will likely be a lot of backlash to this post - I am not trying to gatekeeper casual players. I am just highlighting the next overarching problem that's yet to appear for the majority of the playerbase.

How good is Sturm + Lucky Pants?

In the most recent TWID, Bungie stated that Sturm's overcharged shots will now work with Lucky Pants but with reduced damage; 110% at 10x Stacks of Illegally Modded Holster.

Let's dive in to see how well it will do in a 6 second DPS rotation (assuming each shot are overcharged rounds):

6-Second DPS Overview

Total Damage: 7,580
DPS: ~1,263

Lucky Pants has a 6-second timer for Illegally Modded Holster, in that time Sturm, which fires at 120rpm, can fire 12 rounds.

Each shot for Sturm with the overcharged shot does 377 damage on bosses, with the 5% increase from featured weapons increases it to 396, each shot will deal 11% more damage, with a max damage of 110%

Conclusion:

As you can see Sturm paired with Lucky Pants will be a decent and viable option. While not as good as burst fire handcannons like Warden's Law and Agape (would be ~14% better), with new Together Forever weapons coming with Ash and Iron this should be pretty fun to use.

Hi guys i recently bought the destiny legacy collection and just started my Titan, from show han i can claim this exotic weapon with a quest, should i take it now? or should i just wait for a while?
Same for Maeve's key and The heart's depths

Basically I recently just unlocked most of prismatic titan and my first build idea was to use stasis grenades and the strand melee and consecration and knockout ( I know not very original but I like consecration on solar titan and wanted to spam it) and my super is the arc one because I think it’s funny but my problem is no matter what I do I think it’s the light bar but one of the bars the red one is always almost full compared the the other one and I don’t understand how it works because sometimes the blue one gets energy from the consecration slam but most of the time it goes to the red one and I been tweaking it and I still don’t understand why I can’t get the blue one reliably or should I say obtainably reliably because I discovered because of knock out if I punch people to death I get a little blue guaranteed but I’m pretty sure blue is dark so why doesn’t the grenade or normal strand melee charge it and why does knockout charge it? Did I mix them up could someone please explain how this works or provide a build that I could look at so I could understand mine better because I wanna use transcendence as much as possible since I always wanted something that buffs your character but ain’t a super because I don’t like using supers that much but some are cool like the arc nuke.

Unfortunately, I’ve made the mistake of liking Warlock, and so I suffer the curse of having no damage and a million ways to make turrets. Im 5-6 phasing Raneiks with parasite and nova, but I’m really wondering what the best dps is for puppeteer. Could I get some strategies for both so I can make this a bit easier?

Or at least buff the drop rates on solemn remembrance significantly? Sorry to beat a dead horse but grinding comp is not fun. Not to mention the playlist is dead and I have to sit in matchmaking for like 15 mins just to face the same few people every game. Hell how's about make it a curated roll and have a quest to get it like complete 30 matches or something? I'm not a horrible paper or anything but going like 6 games in a row without even a drop let alone getting the combo is soul crushing. Also I said this in another thread but Eyasluna could use a reissue and the combo would be pretty nice addition to it. Just saying.

After all the feedback Bungie are continuing to double down on the featured gear system. So it’s clear this is something they want for this game for the foreseeable future.

If that’s the case then can we at least get a system that’s like Iron Banner where you only need 5/8 gear pieces to get max rewards.

So we would only need to wear 5/8 pieces of featured gear to get max reward score and to meet the requirements for avante guard.

This way we would still need to use new gear but we at least have some wiggle room.

Give me that tear incandescent roll. Or the voltshot, threading roll.

I think prismatic weapons should be this mythic rarity from rising. Should be one perk from your primary slot and one from your secondary slot.

I just got tired of playing with my Titan because there's nothing else that's fun to play on the portal and so naturally I thought of playing my other characters to raise their power levels and maybe get their class exotics this season.

Welp, it turns out I don't have enough unstable cores to level them up so what does the game force me to do? Go back to my Titan to play random activities for a chance to get 200+ gear so I could dismantle them for unstable cores so I could upgrade my characters which I would have to go play the same damn activities with over again to get armor that I can infuse their current armor with.

Also, it's just a nice way of dumping Glimmer into.

Recently I’ve had some friends try out destiny again for the 2nd time and there actually having a ton of fun with there biggest praise after coming back was the portal which kind of confused me as I’ve only really seen hate for it in the community.

So what’s everyone’s main issue with the portal.
