Recently I have come back from a year long break, and noticed Gambit once again is abandoned. What happened? Is it going to be updated again?

Bungie seriously with the cost of infusion that needs to be at least 10x the amount of limited time materials to upgrade our gear. Yet you are also the studio that sunsets our economy without any true exchange program.

Edit: Glad a bunch of you have plenty of Cores,but as a premium reward pass we should get premium rewards, like say 20k so we can infuse 10 items. Other games give out premium currency yet all the bumpkins who are bungie simps continue to show why they can be so cheap with their rewards.

I haven’t made the jump into 400+ Power, so I need some of the omega grinders to keep me honest.

I see a lot of complaints on this subreddit (shocker) that they can’t build craft or they feel the new gear system is limiting because of the score implications.

But at the 300-390 light level grind it seems like a B+ still gives a huge power jump… but with only one less level than an A? It feels like it’s almost insignificant. And even then… A’s are easy to get if you just complete all the objectives and in time.

It feels like it’s still possible to rock all your old gear into content and still get powerful drops… like in genuinely don’t understand the complaints. Feels like it’s either a 400+ light level complaint or it’s people/bots complaining that don’t actually play the game.

^{Never forget what was lost. While the API protests have concluded, Reddit remains hostile to its users.}

or how else can they explain no guardians present?

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.

As we all know, the Rewards Pass is getting reset with Ash & Iron tomorrow. This is a friendly PSA to claim the armor from the pass on 2nd & 3rd characters now before the servers go down for maintenance tomorrow morning

Although Bungie is giving us a way to get past season pass rewards in-game, armor from the pass currently pulls at level with your highest power character

So despite me having not touched my Titan or Hunter at all since EoF launched, all the armor still pulled at 400, since my Warlock is 400

It may not be the best gear (mine only pulled at tier 2 🙃) but it's an easy way to quickly level other characters, and make it easier to get higher tier gear for them

Like bro? Why am I getting a tier 2 at almost 400 light AND A HOLOFOIL AT THAT 😭😭😭

Hello guardians! I'm looking to get back into Destiny 2 after a long break. I played all of Destiny 1 and jumped into Destiny 2 when it first launched, but I haven’t touched the game since before any expansions dropped. So it's been a while!

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the new content, systems, and expansions. I’m not sure where to start or what I actually need to buy to get a good experience. Should I pick up all the past expansions or just get the newest one? Is there a good way to catch up on the story or gear progression?

Any advice on the best way to re-enter the game in 2025 would be super appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Activities 

Portal

• The reward multiplier in the Portal will now use account max Power instead of equipped Power.
• Fireteam Power no longer reduces your reward multiplier when below 300 Power. This improves rewards for low-Power players playing with their high-Power friends, allowing for easier access to Tier 2 gear. Tier 3+ will still require leveling your Power to earn them from the Portal.

• Adjusted the time limits for most activities across the Portal based on player data.

  • Increased time limits for Liminality, Inverted Spire, and Widow's Court.
  • Decreased time limits for most other activities.
    • An additional round of updates is planned for the first patch of Ash & Iron. It will, in general, give players more time to get their score bonuses.

• Updated modifier icons for scoring, events, and matchmaking to be more distinguishable from standard informational icons.

• Tuned Fireteam Based Matchmaking in 6v6 playlists to speed up matchmaking times and make it less likely that larger fireteams will match against all solo players, and more likely that they will match against at least one smaller fireteam, in the event there are no larger fireteams available.

• Crucible Reward Multiplier is now calculated as a running average for the duration of the activity.

• Reduced the amount of bonus score earned per medal for round-based modes to bring it closer to non-round-based modes.

Completing this challenge will unlock an additional one that provides bonus loot from just the epic raid. The loot from these challenges has bonus Seasonal Power and drops at an upgraded Tier based on the number of active feats.
  • Removed the requirement to complete the “Combined Mastery” Triumph to increase your gear drop tier. Now, all Desert Perpetual gear will now drop at Tier 2 in the standard version and Tier 3 in the epic raid, no matter your current Power level. In addition, we have added a chance for all gear earned during a full clear to drop at up to +2 from your base Tier. Add feats to increase your chances.

• No longer provides Restoration. Now landing a Sword hit now requires and consumes 50% of your Perfect Guard charge, which Exhausts enemies you hit and instantly heals you and nearby allies.

Global Changes

Two hours of playing tonight and zero drops of the comp weapon

I have a 8-1 record today and have been playing pretty well, but absolutely nothing to show for my effort

I’m honestly so frustrated right now. I don’t know why they choose to make this game so unrewarding to play. It feels like a chore and I’m not even getting anything for it

At least with the old comp rewards you knew you’d get a drop after 3 games. Now I’ve played 9 tonight and not a single one

Really good job Bungie, amazing changes this season. Please make your game FUN again. I want to never play it again right now

Example

Notice how they actually look like little creatures, and seem to be able to act in different ways, rather than just being blobs of elemental energy.

Idk, it’d be cool if Destiny had something like this

I am a destiny veteran and after playing other games the last few months I would like to try more destiny content. I was max light before this update and have all the „good“ gear and builds on my three characters. Can I play the campaign without having to revuild my characters and use the „new gear“?

I made an appreciation post for EoF last week to try to promote some positive thinking I think is needed here. Unfortunately, I was mostly met with pessimism and downvotes. I understand people aren't happy with the current state of Destiny, but why has it gotten so bad that ANY positive comments or discussion receive overwhelming negativity? We need to be better as a community, and while I'm not naive enough to believe a reddit post will do that, I hope at least some people will see how toxic this community is right now, and maybe try to push back against it.

New update day, I want to play the new activity. Click on the activity and click launch.

I'm dropped into a GRANDMASTER version of the new activity because I'm 400+ power, both of my teammates get 1-shot by fallen vandals and one of them instantly leaves. The other player was bugged and I couldn't rez them (GM activity requires manual resurrection + rez tokens of course).

I decided to go to orbit shortly afterwards. Then, I queued the new activity at 10 power with no matchmaking.

All of this happening minutes after a developer livestream where they self-criticize about how Destiny doesn't feel "social" right now because of the Solo Ops mines.

I wish we could go back, when a new activity would come out, and you could just click it and play it. Where it would give you rewards at your power level, without any pressure to "perform" good enough to be even eligible to receive loot.

When GM difficult would be unlocked later in the season, to give people a shot at the normal version, so that they could understand and prepare accordingly for high difficulty. Most games won't even LET you queue a harder difficulty before you beat the lower difficulty at least once first!

Portal is so anti-social in it's design, and so anti-fun as well. The progression feels artificial, the loot feels artificial (who can even tell a tier-5 weapon apart in gameplay), and the MMO aspect of Destiny has been completely overshadowed by the systems that make it harder to play with matchmaking or friends alike.

If the Portal was removed tomorrow, I legit wouldn't miss it for a single second. The natural progression of "grind whatever you want" until soft cap, then playing slightly harder things for powerful cap, and then playing Raids & Dungeons for pinnacle cap worked fine. It had realistic weekly goals and encouraged diversity in gameplay options. The new system lacks all of these things.

Sorry for the yap, but I legit think Portal is choking out all the fun bits out of the game. The new weapons and armor are legitimately fun, as they usually are for Destiny, but the acquisition is so sterile and bland, and also so anti-player at the same time, it gets harder and harder to recommend playing the game to anyone else.

My stompees are pl6 lol and my lucky pants 5 (down from 450) didnt check everything yet but wtf?

Hi all

I have back to destiny after a couple of months break and i have been playing crucible but I noticed the load times are taking forever.

Once you got your 12 players to showing the ships, showing players and actually playing it's taking an age.

Is this just me or playstation etc?

Thought I'd challenge myself to solo flawless every dungeon using glaive/melee builds, because apparently I enjoy pain. Sundered Doctrine is already a marathon solo and even more so when you insist on fighting every encounter with this kind of loadouts.

But this time around I managed to finish a solo flawless run in 41 minutes using some of my favorite glaives and melee builds! It was a test of patience, stubbornness, and questionable life choices... But I'm super happy with the end result and excited to share with you all!

If you’re into the whole “unkillable wall of muscle” tank fantasy but were emotionally devastated by the Stronghold changes, the Wormgod + Vexcalibur Strand build I used in encounters 1 and 2 might speak to you. It’s tanky and hits hard, every glaive melee deals a lot of dmg to yellow bars and you have glaive shield (97,5 dmg reduction) + Overshields + Healing (Banner of War).

Hope you like this touch of madness comming from a very peculiar guardian. And if you are like me, or the other 10 guardians that like glaive builds around here, let me know if you have any questions about the loadouts / strats I've used.

There isn't one right?

WTF why bungie, why do you technically-not-but-also-kinda sunset all not-new legendary weapons and not introduce a single void heavy???

Are the metal components, like the bits the straps hook onto and that emblem, prone to rust? I've had it for years but never used it cause I was worried about damaging it or making it really dirty or something like that, but recently I've been looking for a bag just like it and remembered that I had this bag.

Not only would using it save me money on buying a new bag, it wouldn't be a waste of money to not use it despite having it. The only thing I'm unsure of now is whether or not the bits of metal are prone to rust, or at least more prone to rust than other things made of metal typically are. I'd assume if it's good quality then it won't be something I'd have to worry about much.

Oh yeah, this is the bag. Minus the solar charger on top of course.

Anything I can do to fix this? I can't play my prismatic class on my steam save, but I can play it on PS5

Anybody else experiencing this?

Or....do we have to turn them in before Ash & Iron releases?

The price of the season pass is the same even though we barely get anything in a season, it doesn't last as long and the last "50" levels were compressed into 10, with no rewards inbetween. I don't know if Bungie is trying to sell it as "the last 10 levels are for the hardcore players, as it takes 5x more xp". but I'd rather get 50 actual levels and more drops. Same goes for old Dungeon Keys. Practically zero value in them currently, as most of the gear is obsolete. It's fun for a few completions but that's it. No guns, no armor. They should be heavily discounted as a result.

Like seriously, some of the newer dungeons we had few months ago, their gear is irrelevant. How can you put Dungeons in the Portal without updating any of their gear bungie is tweaking....
