Melee, Grenades, and Supers made up 34% of all kills this weekend in Trials. 66% of kills were from actual weapons.

Posted: 04 May 2017 07:26 AM PDT

Posting this in an attempt to redress this misinformation that was reported in this thread

Originally the 64% ability kill stat was picked up on and tweeted by Luminosity, and then retweeted by several other high profile players.

Well, it turns out Destiny Trials Report got their percentages mixed up.

Oops

So even though we all hate stickies still, thankfully good old fashioned weapons still reign supreme.

How To Easily One Sword 390 Crota {Easiest, Quickest, Safest Sword Combos}

Posted: 04 May 2017 10:40 AM PDT

Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJEipIMTqgU

This video gives a demonstration of what I believe to be the easiest method for one swording 390 Crota and completing challenge mode.

I sat down and did some math on the big guy. We are all aware that it's now very difficult to get 4+ hits on Crota. Well it turns out that you don't even have to worry about it anymore. I found a very safe combo that is easy to execute, quick to perform, and gives you some wiggle room.

Please watch the video for detailed instructions and a slow-motion video demonstration of all 3 downs. However, I will put the combos just below for the record:

First down: RT RB RT RT / R2 R1 R2 R2

Second down: RT RB RT RT / R2 R1 R2 R2

Third down: RT RB RT RT + Super / R2 R1 R2 R2 + Super

This combo is MUCH faster than going for 4 full slams on any given down. It also gives you room to make sure Crota is actually going down, because the combo takes way less frames to execute. The key is leading with an RT/R2. This allows your character to begin the slam animation early and lunge forward if needed. As always, make sure to be holding forward on the analog!

This combo almost has a 100% success rate of one swording, as long as your team takes him down quickly all 3 times. If not quick enough, the sword will despawn.

As for the Nighthawk Golden Gun: shoot the Oversoul after the SECOND down. Don't have a Hunter on the team? No biggie. Have everyone shoot sniper bullets after the SECOND down.

Keep in mind, every single hit must be buffed by Weapons of Light.

And finally, about the Super cancelling on the 3rd down. Wait until you physically see the sword touch Crota on the final RT/R2, then quickly slam your super. Do not let the full RT/R2 animation occur. That's the whole point of cancelling it. It's basically a free hit.

Hope that this helps everyone going forward! It definitely turns out that one swording him is not as hard as you think, just takes a lil practice.

Happy slayin' all!

Activision's 2017 Q1 Earning's Call is today

Posted: 04 May 2017 06:26 AM PDT

Activision will talk about their Quarter 1 earnings later today.

How does this affect Destiny? It may potentially give some more information as to the future of Destiny 2.

During the 2016 Q4 Earning's Call, we learned in the "Providing Opportunities for Player Investment" category there will be a "Full Destiny sequel in 2017 to broaden the franchise's global reach, which along with follow-on content plans, sets the stage for growth". Today we might learn potential beta dates, DLC dates, potentially an official MLG/Destiny E-Sports League, etc.

Some fun facts about Activision:

  • Activision made over 4.2 billion dollars *profit, meant to put gross, was typing too quick, sorry gross in 2016
  • 43 billion hours were watched + played on Activision games, Netflix has 45 billion hours watched
  • Their stock price is up 40% since December
  • They consistently beat projected earnings
  • The CEO's salary is 8.13M
  • Hilariously, "The Vanguard Group" (large investing company), has 43,252,743 shares of Activision stock
  • Destiny is considered a Top 10 title to Activision, up there with Call of Duty

Fingers crossed for good news!

[discussion]

EDIT: 4:30 PM EST - CALL IS LIVE

Just discussed Destiny. Typing quickly.

  • Destiny at its release was biggest new video game series launch of all time. Beginning preorders are very strong. Localizing the game for more markets to reach new markets.

  • Will launch on September 8th and will contain two huge future expansions along with many other planned events.

  • Confident that release on PC will reach a much larger audience.

  • In-game revenues grew by 25%.

  • Confident that fans will thoroughly enjoy Destiny 2 and CoD: WWII later this year. Expects a back-end loaded year with these two releases.

Guardians Beware! Fake Selling Site

Posted: 03 May 2017 08:48 PM PDT

http://imgur.com/gg6nAdQ

Greetings Guardians!

name and website address blocked to prevent witch hunt, sorry torch and pitchforks. Found my destiny work, and all artwork i assume, used without permission. Filed DMCA in their website but none went through. Site is young, phone # is Voip, uses anonymous server, protected email etc.

If you or know other people buying from this site, stop them before they get your payment information.

Hope for the best!

EDIT:

facebook took down the whole page at 5:30am EST, which is good as it can reach a far wider audience through ads.

Their website is still up with their products up, even after getting email that they disabled their products.

they messaged me earlier last night to make a deal and I refused. the kicker? "Our apologies, we plan to test your design first. If people like this, we will contact you, we just test your design yesterday."

As of now, hope not many people fell for the scam. I'll update more when I get more info.

Thank you guys for the support, it means alot!

If and when Destiny has a Rasputin/Warmind themed Expansion (rumoured to be one of D2's first expansions), the Raid should totally be called "Siege of the Warmind"

Posted: 04 May 2017 08:46 AM PDT

Not only as an ode to a beloved original Destiny Mission, but more importantly maybe some of us would actually complete it now! rimshot

The Last Jedi Teaser - Remade in Destiny

Posted: 04 May 2017 04:40 AM PDT

Two years ago I remade the Official Force Awakens Trailer into the Destiny universe. With their respective sequels soon upon us, I thought it was only fitting to give them a similar treatment. Enjoy and happy May the 4th!

Solo Deathsinger Challenge Mode | Crota's End Normal {AoT}

Posted: 04 May 2017 10:13 AM PDT

Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1EDnZLsHGo

I was just messing around in Crota's End earlier and noticed that Ir Yut still shrieks in fear no matter what the difficulty is set to. Many have claimed the 390 version of Deathsinger Challenge to be impossible to solo. So I thought, "What about a non-390 version???"

It turns out that you have just enough time, DPS, and ammo to kill every single enemy and destroy Ir Yut with the sword... solo. It took a few runs to get a basic strategy and optimized route down. Soon after that, the kill was made!

This was extremely fun to do! I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Titan work.

Hope you enjoy all the slaying!

Solo Will of Crota Nightfall (Sunrise | No Cheese)

Posted: 04 May 2017 01:43 AM PDT

Completing the sunrise bounty solo this week is a very tough challenge. I haven't seen many videos or posts of successful attempts, and if I have it usually involved a cheese spot.

This is something I'm very proud of achieving and I hope it's entertaining for you!

Quantum Tunneling Confirmed in Classical Mechanics

Posted: 04 May 2017 08:41 AM PDT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RGMQQ5IfLk

As a graduate physics student I remember thinking quantum tunneling is something I will never have to worry about. This will never happen outside a quantum scale. Apparently, I was mistaken.

TLDR: Bullets can tunnel through walls and solid objects.

Dregden Yor's Ghost left him, and before it did, called him out on his atrocities. Yet, why did the Ghosts of the Warlords whom the Iron Lords put down not leave them?

Posted: 04 May 2017 04:56 AM PDT

There's a clear indication that Ghosts in general possess benevolent and compassionate minds, at least to those among the remnants of Humanity. They made to find protectors of the last of Humanity, after all.

Yor's Ghost left him, for all the terrible things he did. But, why did the Ghosts of the Warlord Risen remain by their clearly malevolent partners? Such that, to kill the Warlords, the Iron Lords had to destroy their Ghosts to prevent them from rising again.

Did the things they commit not reach such a horrendous severity, such that their Ghosts held out hope that they might change, or what?

I'm glad Destiny 2 is coming to PC but...

Posted: 04 May 2017 12:29 PM PDT

I'm not excited about the prospect of future events, items, etcetera being data mined beforehand. Yes, I know data mining existed on consoles to an extent, but I believe they've made most of the games files inaccessible after a few infamous predictions regarding Xur, and other things. On PC however, they will not be able to impose such restrictions, and it will be a shooting gallery.

I feel like a lot of what made Destiny fun for console players was not knowing what the new DLC was about until a formal announcement, or not knowing what exotics we'd be getting until they were officially unveiled. The Hype™. Take the AoT event, or The Dawning. No one knew those were coming ahead of time, or what they would be composed of. Yes, people speculated, and made guesses based on this tidbit or that tidbit, but no one really knew.

With PC being introduced, people will KNOW exactly what's coming, and the anticipation/hype will be lessened when Bungie does formally announce said thing. This is a minor gripe, but I feel it's important for a game like this, moreso than something like Overwatch, where things are regularly leaked and spoiled by the PC community. Yes, I know the "don't go where spoilers are then" folks are going to speak out, but that's easier said than done.
