With the Christmas noobs incoming, if you see one, be helpful; not an asshat

Posted: 23 Dec 2016 03:26 PM PST

Don't trick them into dismantling gear, help boost their light up. Don't be rude to them just for getting the game late, welcome them into this great community. This is the greatness of this community, and it keeps getting better with each iron infant being helped
Edit: some advice/help to give could be
-Getting your first exotic from PoE
-joining a faction
-grinding easy strikes for light
-getting fun shaders, emblems, or other cosmetics
-getting their next subclass
-giving tips on rolls and best weapons

Give your ideas for the list in the comment section

After noticing this its overwhelmingly obvious that Nova Mortis and Abbadon were originally intended to be released during The Taken King

Posted: 23 Dec 2016 04:51 PM PST

Remember, on Christmas day, there will be an influx of new Guardians

Posted: 23 Dec 2016 01:09 PM PST

On the 25th (and the next couple of days), we will see all the kinderguardians rocking their sick green gear in the Tower. If you see any, send them a nice message. They won't get to experience all the magic we did with things in Year 1 and Year 2.
Tl;dr: Kinderguardians are getting dropped off on Sunday. Be nice.

Cozmo has acknowledged the issue with Xur not selling 3oCs, has raised issue with appropriate team

Posted: 23 Dec 2016 03:27 AM PST

I think SRL has effected me, I keep seeing that forklift around the cosmodrome, never even noticed it before. PFSD

Posted: 23 Dec 2016 04:06 PM PST

(Discussion)Post forklift stress disorder, its everywhere in strikes, omnigul, sepkis wave room, in the divide near the splicer tank. I'm surprised taniks doesn't have one in his room. Each time I see one, I get twitchy

When your girlfriend is in tune with your Christmas needs...

I've been an xbox guardian since beta, and I still love this game. My girlfriend got the controller stand custom made with my GT. She puts up with my Destiny addiction, so she deserves recognition on this subreddit! Early Christmas gift as she's going home 2 hours away with family and my job as an RN has me working on Christmas. Merry Christmas to all of you fellow guardians!
Edit: Nice #3 under xur being the Grinch. Not bad for my first real post

Completed first raid ever last night - wow.

Posted: 23 Dec 2016 09:46 AM PST

Last night I completed Wrath of the Machine (normal) for the first time - my first completed Raid in Destiny. I'd started earlier this week and made it to Aksis Phase 2 but was stuck and short for time. Joining a group in progress last night and killing Aksis was so satisfying and the entire raid was a very fun experience. It was the perfect amount of a challenge - requiring precision and communication - but not mind impossibly difficult to perform. I think it is well-designed and it was a blast.
Not to mention the scenery is awesome and so epic. The canister room where the 'SIVA solution' emblem is unlocked was awesome, as was the descent down into the massive pyramid chamber before the final battle. ROI has such great atmosphere, music, everything.
Thanks for the fireteams who were involved - I have discovered a love for this new gameplay mode which was previously unknown to me. Now on to King's Fall!

To all those lonely Guardians out there this holiday...

Posted: 23 Dec 2016 08:49 PM PST

Not sure how many out there, whether you're single, have no family, friends, etc.

I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, from one Guardian to another. No matter your race, color, how many times you caused a raid team to wipe. Be good to your fellow beings of light.

Happy Holidays, from your friend in the tower. - Friendly Bane

Oh! And don't forget to have an amazing year! So much in store for us :) See you all there.

Anyone else wish that turrets weren't awful?

Posted: 23 Dec 2016 06:33 PM PST

Like, you see the beacon, but have learned your lesson from using them and dying for the 1,000th time, but there's always that one guy that gets himself killed constantly trying to use it. I feel like it should at least be more powerful than my heavy weapon considering it's a motionless rotating turret. As it stands, they're only good in like two situations and it's rare for them to pop up in those, I just wish they did a little more than get you killed.

Can artifacts be visibly worn like Ikora Rey's medallion?

Posted: 23 Dec 2016 08:01 AM PST

If artifacts are a thing in Destiny 2, that is.
Obviously they don't have to all be medallions, but it would be pretty damn cool if we could get some kind of visible representation of these artifacts on our Guardians. Clasps, medallions, brooches, badges... there are all kinds of little decorative memorabilia that could be visibly worn on our Guardians.
Accessorizing is an important aspect of Guardian life, after all! Providing more options is always better!

Why do you not play Trials anymore?

Posted: 23 Dec 2016 03:19 PM PST

Seeing the dwindling player base that still does ToO every week, I wanted to know why you don't play it anymore, or if you do, why do you still do it?
I personally haven't gone flawless, mostly because it seems like only the best of the best are left.
Edit: Wow, front page.
Edit II: People don't play it because of lag, stacked 2000+ ELO teams, and a now unreachable goal. People keep playing for the unreachable goal.
People get matched with stacked at win 3-4, when they are around 1200-1600 ELO.

Vanguard strike emblems/shaders confirmed to drop in SIVA Crisis (Level 42 / Light 320) playlist.

Posted: 23 Dec 2016 10:58 AM PST

After numerous hours grinding the SIVA Crisis non-heroic strike I managed to get the last few emblems I needed to complete my collection and thought others looking to do the same can find this information helpful.
Before RoI these "vanguard strike" emblems/shaders were known to drop in the Level 36 (aka Vanguard Strike) playlist, but I couldn't find solid verification where these drop now post-RoI and therefore went on a grinding spree to figure this out.
I can confirm that the following emblems/shaders drop in the SIVA Crisis (Level 42 / Light 320) playlist as they all dropped for me there today:

Shaders

  • Lost City
  • Cyan Stars
  • Debt Unpaid

Emblems

  • No Puppet, I
  • Our Kingdom
  • Verisimilitude
With that said I think it's safe to assume that all other vanguard strike emblems/shaders drop in this playlist.
Good luck guardians and happy hunting!
EDIT - It appears the smart loot system isn't working too well with these strike shaders/emblems - i.e. I've had the same ones, which I already acquired before, drop numerous times during my grind. One workaround is to fill your inventory with all the strike shaders/emblems you've already acquired so that those items won't drop again when you run the strikes, thereby raising your chance of the smart loot system dropping the item you actually need.

We have a tradition of each person painting a new ornament every year. I think I have a theme.
Posted: 23 Dec 2016 03:15 PM PST

For those of you just now getting the full set of Desolate armour and wondering where you get the taken shiver emote;

Posted: 23 Dec 2016 03:33 PM PST

Tess no longer has it in eververse to obtain from there with the release of RoI, however you can go to the emote kiosk in the Tower hangar and obtain it from there.
Note: you must still have all 5 armour pieces equipped in order to grab it, and also note that the emote is only unlocked on that character and no others. You have to get the armour for your other characters in order to get it for them too.
Merry X-mas or Happy Dawning everyone!!
EDIT: Was just brought to my attention that you do not have to have them all on you, you just need to have obtained them before.

Even Cayde-6 complains about the forklift.
Posted: 23 Dec 2016 02:32 AM PST

A funny thing I found browsing through the grimoires. The grimoire card to Haakon's Precipice:
"Hey! Who left this forklift in the middle of the track?" - Cayde-6
The steep mountain pass known as Haakon Precipice was once used by some of the more thrill-seeking Iron Lords. Redjacks have cleared brush and dug through avalanches to make the track passable again, but the increased activity has attracted the attention of the Devil Splicers.
Expect some "speed bumps."

Should I buy Destiny now?

Posted: 23 Dec 2016 05:30 PM PST

Sorry for this generic question, but. I've played Destiny for 2 weeks after the release back in 2014 and quickly got tired of it due to lack of content and having to do the same activity over and over. Now it seems like it has a lot of content after two years of updates. So, I've to shoose: Destiny or Overwatch?
