Bungie, it's been over 2 years, and throwing knife STILL doesn't count as a solar ability kill.
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 04:23 AM PST
Realized this is still an issue when running around patrol for the Abaddon quest. Every melee ability in the game counts as an elemental ability, except throwing knives. Even smoke bombs count as a void ability kill. I know it's not a large issue, but it is really annoying.

Bungie, this is been 2 years and yet Taniks has no house.
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 09:36 AM PST
Taniks has no house. It's been 2 years and yet he still has Ether problems because he has no house. Please help this poor guy.
EDIT: 280+ Points, amazing. Seriously, get him a nice house and some good Ether vodka. Even Taniks should celebrate the Dawning.
EDIT: Oryx ass-hat for Taniks anyone?

Does anyone else check this sub daily hoping to find some juicy leaked info or Jason Schreier article on Destiny 2?

I can't be the only one. Don't get me wrong, I'm still having fun with Destiny 1 and loving the Dawning, but I'm just dying for more information.

If anyone who plays Destiny can get a god-tier Palindrome from a vendor, why can't exotic hand cannons get a buff?
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 08:21 AM PST
I mean, they're exotic, right? They're inherently more rare and harder to get than a vendor weapon, and should be worthy of their exotic designation.
Last Word, Thorn, and Hawkmoon could all use a decent buff at varying levels. (Last Word probably needing it the least.) I think it would be great to see these all be able to compete directly with the Palindrome. I'm not even saying all hand cannons need a buff. That's been beaten to death. But definitely the exotics, because all 3 seem to have been designed with PvP in mind.
EDIT: I feel like some clarification is needed here. I appreciate everyone's comments and that there's definitely some debate on this. I'm not suggesting that the exotic hand cannons be buffed so that the legendary counterparts become obsolete. What I'm suggesting is that maybe Hawkmoon and Thorn, specifically, get adjusted to bring them closer to competitive without pushing out the Palindromes and Eyaslunas.
I think the better option is to have these be different options with similar performance. Can't seem to get a Hawkmoon or a Last Word to drop? Go get the Palindrome and you're on equal footing with someone who does have those.

Become Legend: Weekly Guide [2016-12-20]
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 01:36 PM PST
Intro
Welcome to another edition of Become Legend! This is my weekly guide to help out those looking for a one-stop shop of information on how to best conquer weekly challenges. Keep in mind that these are recommendations and not the end-all-be-all on how to do well, if you have some great suggestions feel free to add them via comments!
Nightfall - Sepiks Perfected
Difficulty: 2/5
Modifiers
- Epic
- Berserk
- Small Arms
- Match Game
- Airborne
- Primary: Hand Cannon with Explosive Rounds (Exile's Student)
- Secondary: Sniper Rifle
- Heavy: Gjallarhorn
- Gear: Titans should use Empyrean Bellicose. Hunters should use Bones of Eao. Warlocks can use whatever they want, Heart of the Praxic Fire is nice while Starfire Protocol can be great if you choose Fusion Grenades. All classes should wear the Raid Gauntlets.
- Hunter: Nightstalker seems to be the best this week for clearing adds and generating points. A Gunslinger with Celestial Nighthawk can really clear out the Ultras in this strike.
- Titan: Defender is a staple for Titans, Blessing of Light is best for staying alive. You can dabble with the other subclasses, Sunbreaker being the best secondary choice.
- Warlock: Sunsinger is a must here. Angel of Light will make killing enemies so easy with the Airborne bonus. Solar Grenades and Song of Flame should be your other choices, you shouldn't expect to die if you're going for a high score so Fireborn is out of the question unless you just want to get the clear.
Navigating the Strike
If you're going for points, use your Sparrow to zoom all the way to the initial objective room otherwise fight through the Hive. Here you'll find Hive and Fallen fighting, take them out and start decrypting the gate lock with Ghost. Use Grenades and Gjallarhorn to clear enemies as soon as they come out of the gate, use your Super often and coordinate with your teammates before using it. The waves alternate, Fallen-Hive-Fallen so you'll have a Captain to deal with for the boss. Shadowshot and Gjallarhorn in mid-air should be enough to drop him and get you moving to the next area.In the Blast you'll find a Perfect Walker. Shoot out the front-left (from our perspective, front right) leg to leave the critical spot open the longest. A Celestial Nighthawk with Keyhole can penetrate through the legs if you line it up, it's normally enough to one-shot the Walker. Float in the air (Warlocks and Titans) and snipe the critical spot to quickly defeat the Walker. If you have some smooth driving skills nows your time to shine, you can save a lot of time by getting on your sparrow and blazing to the boss room. You are sacrificing a number of points doing this though, so if you have a Shadowshot or some extra heavy it might be best to simply plow through the enemies here.
Sepiks Perfected
Clear out the SIVA nodes off the start then take out the Splicers. The Captains that come out with the cannons are where you need to deal the right elemental damage. Explosive Rounds has a knack for shredding through shields so a weapon like the Exile's Student should do wonderful damage and make it easier to down them. Use Shadowshow to quickly lockdown and defeat enemies so you can focus damage on Sepiks Perfected. It's not that difficult this week, just keep jumping! Rinse and repeat the waves and Captains until you can finish him off once and for all.SIVA Crisis Heroic
Modifiers
- Heroic
- Void Burn
- Brawler
- Chaff
- Primary: Scout Rifle/Pulse Rifle
- Secondary: Telesto
- Heavy: Void Machine Gun
- Exotic Armor: Nightstalkers should use Fr0st-EE5, Defenders might do best with Armamentarium for more grenades, and Voidwalkers should use Nothing Manacles or Voidfang Vestments depending on their grenade choice.
- Hunter: Bloodbound and Light of the Pack. Grenade of choice, Vortex seem to do best for enemies that are tethered.
- Titan: Magnetic Grenades are good here for guaranteed damage. Weapons of Light for faster clearing, just be sure to toss grenades beforehand since you get them back after using Ward of Dawn.
- Warlock: Scatter Grenades coupled with The Hunger, Life Steal, and Embrace the Void should mean endless grenades and infinite health.
Shaxx Bounty - Back to the Basics
Objectives:
- Complete 7 Matches
- 50 Primary Kills
- 25 Assisted Kills
- 25 Ability Kills
Petra Venj Taken Bounties
- Take the Wanted (Grayris)

Vendor Items
This section is only going to include gear that is capable of Tier 12. It's a good week if you needed some Tier 12 Class Items. The Speaker now also sells Subclass Class Items and they are now included here. The Memory of Felwinter this week is the best we've seen.

This weeks Nightfall is awesome for the variations you can stick together, it's a fast and fun Nightfall and Subclass and Weapons are all down to preference as much as they have Pros and Cons so for this section I won't list but rather give some 'enhancements' to wrack up those scores based on the Modifiers we have

Can we get Digital Download Upgrades for us Physical Disc Owners?
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 09:03 AM PST
Hey Bungie,
Has any thought been given to those guardians that are looking to upgrade to a digital copy of their game? After 4 expansions that were digital download it would be awesome to just cut that cord and not have to use the disc anymore.
Looking at some online retailers, it seems that the physical copy is going for $10-$40 (depending on original, TTK, or The collection) while the digital download copy for the game is going for $90 on the original (what's up with that?) and $60 for the Collection edition.
I don't think I'm alone when I say that there are plenty of people who would be really interested in this over and/or in addition to buying silver for Tess.
Edit 1: Playstation Store is now selling Destiny - the collection upgrade bundle for PS4 on sale for $31. 99. I bought it for science. I just deleted the disc-based destiny game from my ps4 and am now downloading it again from my library. I will report back the results when it is done.
Edit 2: It works. No disc needed to play Destiny anymore. Get at it for those who thought $30 was a good price point to go digital for this game.

2 youngsters shuttle 1 oldster (I'm 53) to the lighthouse.
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 02:30 PM PST
tl;dr : 2 cool brits ferry an antique to the lighthouse.
I've played this game since its inception and loved it. However my reflexes are not what they were in my youth when the hottest video game/only game on the market was Pong.
Anyway, there was a 31 year old guy (I consider that youth) posting a reddit request to "young bucks" for advice on crucible. This spawned several guys in their 30's competing over who was the elder statesman. I ribbed them for considering themselves old, given my ancient status -- I mentioned I'd even almost gotten to the lighthouse.
Out of the blue, AFilthyYamYam, offered to help me get there with a friend of his. He did not need to do this; there was really no promotional reason for it. He and his friend Jack-Jack-25 just decided to make it happen. So this last Sunday we did it -- and it was a close call. We lost one match, which mercy covered. We were down 1-4 on another match, but these guys brought us back with some crazy clutch plays.
I wanted to give these guys a shout out for giving me one of the greatest gaming experiences of my life. Bravo.
These guys are both budding Twitch streamers I found out. afilthyyamyam and jack_jack_25 in case you are interested.
submitted by /u/kjsreddit I've played this game since its inception and loved it. However my reflexes are not what they were in my youth when the hottest video game/only game on the market was Pong.
Anyway, there was a 31 year old guy (I consider that youth) posting a reddit request to "young bucks" for advice on crucible.

SRL: Being bumped, meh. Gates being hit and miss, whatever. Matchmaking, no prob. But tricks not triggering...
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 06:20 PM PST
Aaaaargh!!! Why do I need to be in the air long enough to clear 3 busses before I can actually pop a trick rather than just point? Am I doing something wrong? [Question]

Important things you don't know about going fast in SRL
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 09:18 AM PST
There's a lot of guidance out there on SRL, but a lot of it is spread out across multiple threads, and I wanted to lay down a few things that I think a lot of people don't realize that make a big difference in how well you do in sparrow racing.
On Smoothness
Any time you touch the sticks, it slows you down. The more you adjust your course, the slower you go. This is very important to focus on any time you don't have other players right on top of you, because the fewer controller inputs you use, the faster you'll go. There's an axiom that's common both to racing and military applications: "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast". It's very applicable in SRL.
NOTE: getting jostled by another sparrow does NOT slow you down, UNLESS you try to countersteer into it, or unless they actually turn you or lift you off the track. I've found it's actually really easy to get into the lead by the first gate by just aiming for the gate and not adjusting for anything the other guys do. More often than not the result is that they wind up slowing down and I hit the first gate in the lead.
Any time you're in the air, it slows you down. Unless you're low on boost fuel and need the trick, AVOID going over jumps if you can. It's always faster to go around rather than over, as long as you do it smoothly enough. Doing tricks using Destabilize ALSO slows you down, so if you're going for position rather than style, always use the D-pad.
Your Friend, The Racing Helmet
A controversial addition here is that I feel that you should ALWAYS use a racing helmet that gives you vertical control. This can be dangerous, because there are a some jumps that you WILL NOT SURVIVE if you're pushing forward on the stick, the cannon-jumps at the end of Shining Sands being a notable example. Even so, the quicker you get back on the ground, the faster you go. You can pick up almost half a second on the big jump towards the Fallen Skiff on Infinite Descent compared to someone without a racing helmet. You should also always make sure on any high jump that you pull BACK on the stick just as you're landing, as this will help make sure that you don't 'bounce' when you hit and make sure you get a clean landing. This both prevents loss of speed and ensures that you get credit for the trick you should have been doing on the way down.
Don't Sweat the Gates
Don't get too focused on the gates. You'll notice that a lot of times the racer who finishes first has the fewest number of gates hit. The reason for this is that many of the gates aren't on the optimal racing line, so as you get further forward in position and the gates get smaller, a lot of them start to actually cost you time compared to skipping the gate and taking a tighter line. The gate immediately before THAT DAMN FORKLIFT (coughahem) on Hakkon's Precipice is a good example. If you're in 3rd or higher, you're usually better off skipping it and taking the corner tighter. This is particularly true for the gates in the areas with moving obstacles. If you have to use two side boosts to hit a gate without also hitting a fan blade or whatever, it will cost you more time than just going straight through and missing the gate would have.
Edit Ok, so everybody is calling me out for being a scrub because of the gate thing, so let me clarify. Yes, you CAN and SHOULD hit all, or almost all the gates on a flying lap. HOWEVER. This guide is aimed as the struggling racer who is having a hard time with the wins required for the A and S class licenses. If you're nailing first place all the time, you don't need MY help. My point on the gates is that when you're focusing on hitting them, it instills bad habits and tends to conceal more subtle errors that are slowing you down and making it so even when you get the lead, you can't keep it. I got a LOT faster when I forced myself to stop swerving and using side boosts to hit gates and focused on keeping my line clean and smooth. Once I got good at that I worked on controlling my line so that I COULD hit all the gates without having to waste boost fuel or losing speed to unnecessary maneuvering.
TLDR
Finally, I'll reiterate for emphasis: SLOW IS SMOOTH, SMOOTH IS FAST. The other racers are going to bump you. It's fine. Let them. If you just keep calm and steer smoothly, it will almost always wind up slowing them down more than you. Focus on the racing line, if the gate isn't on the line, skip it. If it IS on the line, you should always be aiming at the NEXT gate when you hit the current one. Again, the fewer control inputs you use, the faster you go. Avoid swerving. Save your boosts for cutting the tight corners, that will get you FAR more time than using a boost just to hit a gate, and then having to use a second one to get back on the racing line.
Hopefully this will help with those A and S rank bounties!

Are doodles accepted here?
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 07:25 AM PST
Cleaning out my work desk and found a doodle of my Titan and Warlock from just after TTK dropped. Not nearly as good as some of the talented artists that have posted but some of you may appreciate it. I have a Hunter as well but he just didn't look cool enough to draw at the time.

Destiny Supers in Ultra Slow Motion (Video)
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 02:31 PM PST
After my first two twixtor videos were pretty well received here, I decided to make a longer montage type video of almost all of the super animations from different angles/perspectives (with help from my girlfriend) and see how it would turn out.
This one was essentially made after a lot of people requested it and I took into consideration the feedback I got on the nova bomb video (in this one, I include the throw, too!)
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy it, again- don't sub to me. I am not promoting my YT channel here, I just use Youtube because it is the easiest way to share videos and usually I just make stuff to show to my friends.

A thought about Thorn
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 04:55 PM PST
What if thorn's DoT effect acted like Minecraft's poison debuff. Brings you down to the lowest possible health and keeps you there until the debuff runs out but it never kills you. If thorn's DoT was as powerful as it was before but never actually killed you then it would either take 2 well spaced out headshots or 3 shots. This would keep the time to kill at a balanced level while restoring thorn's status as a useful exotic. The main reason thorn was so powerful was that you could get two head shots and dip out knowing that you would get the kill in a second or so.
With my proposed change, thorn users would have to stick around to finish a kill and their target wouldnt die after winning the gunfight, they would just have to fall back for a bit to regain their health.

How to get the %:
First what are the numbers you are looking for?
- Gauntlets - 99
- Leg Armor - 135
- Chest Armor - 147
- Helmet - 111
- Class Item - 60
- Ghost - 60
- Artifact - 131
Let's use this for an example
| Vendor | Name | Type | % | Int | Disc | Str | Perk 1 | Perk 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crucible | Raku Gwener Type 1 | Chest Armor | 96% | 60/85 | 57/82 | - | Pulse Rifle/Sniper Rifle Ammo | Solar Recovery/Solar Armor |
- We will add these two to get the total: 60/85 + 57/82 or 85+57=142. Pick the highest number on one stat (85) and add the lowest number on the other stat (57).
- Since the max for Chest Armor is 147, we will use this equation 142/147=96.59 or 96% (round down to use the low end to be safe stat wise for T12 builds).

Kovik heroic is nearly impossible with chaff and void burn
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 02:59 AM PST
Spent 50 minutes cutting my teeth on this fight with 2 others in a pug. Just gross. Once the ogre is going full speed and the boss still has 25% health left it's basically a mad dash around the room rezing the rest of your fire team.
Figuratively unplayable.

I felt a little inspired today
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 07:56 PM PST
So earlier I saw a post submitted by u/culture_crab, showing him nearly clinching first place in SRL only to be beaten by an overdrive. It reminded me of a certain well known movie scene from a certain well known movie franchise, so I whipped up a little video that I hope entertains you as much as it does me.
