"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." - Ferris Bueller

True back then, true today. Life does move pretty fast, just as posts move pretty fast on /r/DestinyTheGame. Once a week, "This Week in /r/DestinyTheGame History" brings you some of the gems from this time last year. It's a walk down memory lane to give some perspective of where we were and how things have (or haven't) changed in the last trip around the Sun.

Maybe you made the post, maybe you saw the post, maybe you missed the post. Relive it or discover it for the first time. Either way, we hope you enjoy this blast from the past.


  1. I made the Willbreaker Swords IRL. They light up!
  2. The Gunsmith is Selling Rare Fusion Rifles Right Now!
  3. 10 things I learned from Iron Banner
  4. Bravo Bungie: Made it to 335 WITHOUT touching the Raid
  5. Can We Please Preview What Chroma Would Look Like Before Applying?
  6. Let us have 'rooms' in the Tower for meeting people looking to do certain activities.
  7. I don't understand why Bungie is so eager to put me in games in progress, but allows me to play a full game 4v5 without ever filling the extra spot on my team
  8. It has now been almost five months - Time for the Sparrow Racing League to return.
  9. When your throwing knife is on point
  10. BEST Iron Banner ever! Thank you devs.

Largest magazine discharge in Destiny 1

Posted: 29 Apr 2017 08:24 AM PDT

So back when the Taken King first was released, and the Zhalo Supercell was the only current year elemental primary, I did a bit of hunting on the "Naut." Not sure if this IS the record for longest sustained fire of a gun, bit it's gotta be close!

This is why people hate playing with me when I'm a warlock. Warlocks are EVIL!

The moment I reached 400 LL without doing a Raid thanks to a Blue Engram.

Posted: 29 Apr 2017 04:14 AM PDT

How Delightfully unexpected.

I was so excited, I jumped the gun hitting record, and didn't show seeing if the Boots were 400.

But yes. They were 400. From a Rare Engram.

I was quite chuffed.

Buff the First Curse - make it possible to 2-headshot kill ONLY while the signature perk is active

Posted: 29 Apr 2017 07:49 AM PDT

Because the perk goes away once the weapon reloads, it would limit the potential overpoweredness. Plus, activating it would be dependent on getting a kill in the first place

Had a "generous as frick" experience last night and needed to tell someone about it

Posted: 29 Apr 2017 10:53 AM PDT

I logged on last night just to try and get a quick nightfall run accomplished. I get no responses for like an hour. Eventually decided to try my hand at Crota's End since I hadn't touched it since House of Wolves. Find a group and join in and they're already at Crota. No biggie it will be cool to see how this fight plays out and learn it. Takes a little while, thankfully my group was really experienced and awesome about teaching, but eventually we down Crota and there's much rejoicing. I pick up an Adept weapon, an armor piece, and the emblem to activate the armor's decal. Pretty good if I do say so myself.

So the group doesn't completely disband and we decide to start the raid again. We run through all the way to Crota. Missed the Death Singer challenge by two seconds but oh well. Get another two armor pieces and two emblems to activate the armor decals in addition to another adept weapon and a legendary engram that turned into a decently rolled hand cannon.

I realize after killing Crota that I didn't have my Eidolon Ally on me and thought that I wouldn't get the quest complete for it. Turns out I didn't need it on me and so I wound up completing the Y3 Nechrocasm quest as well.

So after that I decide to end the night with a few strikes. I wind up running with a solid fireteam. You know the ones where words don't need to be spoken and yet you're all on the same page? We (arc) burn through two or three strikes like lightning... pun very much intended... so I reach out to them to see if we want to try the nightfall. Both agree and we fly in. Pop a three of coins for the hell of it going in.

We get through the nightfall in about 9 minutes. My three of coins pops and I get a 400 light Invective. I get my sunrise bounty for the week completed and what drops? Y3 Icebreaker!

So I end the night which started dismally with:

  • Adept Crota Auto Rifle
  • Adept Crota Pulse Rifle
  • Y3 Nechrocasm
  • 3 Armor Emblems
  • 3 Crota's End Armor Pieces
  • A decently rolled/useable legendary Hand Cannon
  • A close call with the Death Singer challenge
  • A random 400 light Invective
  • Y3 Icebreaker
  • And most importantly... three very awesome groups of guardians to play with.

Generous as F*@K indeed

Hey,

I did a thing, made a montage, and now see that I'm a terrible member of this community.

I hope you enjoy. And if you do, it's because you do this too.

Any feedback is always appreciated.

Thank you.

And if they were really smart they'd make their armor out of forklifts.

I feel like shooting a gun has become disadvantageous in Destiny

Posted: 29 Apr 2017 12:59 AM PDT

Stickies Shoulder Charge Melees Grenades

All on ~20 second cooldowns, and you probably have 2 charges, or a way to cool them down even faster, or a way to regen health off of them

Actual guns are only really viable at range, and even then it's mostly Ice Breaker

I couldn't even tell you how many times I've died because I've tried to shoot the other player rather than use an ability

I don't even

Exotic hand cannons are criminally underpowered!

Posted: 28 Apr 2017 05:16 PM PDT

We have now reached a state of the crucible where you can buy a handcannon for 150 marks from a vendor that is better than ALL exotic counterparts. It has more range and stability than TLW, Thorn, Hawkmoon & AoS.

Since you basically need rifled barrel (and RF) to remain even remotely competitive in this meta, none of the guns mentioned above are viable.

Apart from that, Thorn's range has been individually nerfed before they brought it into Y3; this gun is now effective in sidearm territory (and obviously outgunned) because of the ghost bullets and damage drop off you get if you engage from further distances thanks to the additional blanket range nerf in the previous sandbox update.

It wouldn't hurt to buff other range perks that aren't rifled barrel with 'surgical precision' to make exotics viable again.

"[Spoiler! The Destiny 2 gameplay reveal will be held in Hawthorne, California, the same name as the new character mentioned in the collectors edition.]"

Coincidence? Or not?

EDIT: I'm confused, was I not supposed to spolier it? Any posts that had that 'name' got removed before if they weren't spoliler tagged.

Eye up, Ghost! You've been dead a long time.
