| Bubbles and You: A Note On Thunderdome Etiquette Posted: 15 May 2017 05:48 AM PDT This may or may not have been discussed before, but we have a lot of new players who may not be aware of a very important ritual in the crucible. It is especially important in mayhem game modes. I speak of the ancient Titan ritual of the Thunderdome. When 2 enemy defender titans spot each other in the field, they may wish to assert dominance and decide upon an Alpha. At this time, they will overlap their bubbles and butt heads/fists until a victor emerges. This ritual/dominance display is known as the Thunderdome. To interrupt this ritual is incredibly unhealthy for titan society. A titan MUST be allowed to face his challenger and establish breeding rights, and only the hardest punching titan has any chance with the females. I ask on behalf of Titans that if you encounter this incredible display in the wild, that you allow the ritual to occur. Once a victor has emerged, it is your right and privilege to send him to Valhalla, shiny and Particularly guilty of this are our cousins, the strikers. Please respect the ways of your people, and do not interrupt this ancient and important ritual until a victor has emerged. A note to defenders: to initiate the Thunderdome, only to pop a suppressor grenade in your opponents bubble is considered a sin of the highest measure. Respect the ritual as the God of Fists intended. Punches upon you all TL;DR - when titans overlap their bubbles to fight each other, they are engaging in an ancient ritual of their people to establish dominance. Please respect the ways of the titans and do not interrupt until a victor has emerged. EDIT: we at the Defender Titan Heritage Society thank you and truly appreciate your incredibly generous donation. With this we can ensure that the traditions of this proud people remain preserved, and not one face shall go unpunched this iron banner [link] [comments]  |

| Cheating in Trials is getting out of hand Posted: 14 May 2017 09:20 PM PDT Hey guys, so would not have made a post about this because there's always going to be cheaters. But I use my time to help people go flawless and this weekend has been crazy. So I'm really frustrated I cannot help some people go flawless. I've been kicked offline and my teammate four times already. All by different people and I have their psn which I will not share. I checked trials report they are on 12 and 20 win streaks with 90% recent games with 0.0 I've reported the first two times and I don't know if anything is happening. Is there a next step? Edit: being downvoted I guess I shouldn't bring this topic up. Cheaters will be cheaters. I'll just continue to use the report button and cross my fingers bungie has time (I understand they're very busy) to work on this issue for destiny 2. Edit: This blew up, thanks for helping bring it more attention. I have no doubt people from Bungie must have seen this and will work on this for Destiny 2. I'll see you guardians in Destiny 2.

| The way Bungie handles cheating in D1 will be a death sentence for D2 Posted: 15 May 2017 09:05 AM PDT There have been countless posts here about DDoSers in trials... I've made a few myself after it happened to me once. However, the problem isn't as much the fact that it happens but what Bungie does about it. Nearly a year ago now I had my DDoS run-in, so I took all the recommended steps. I reported in game, and even went to bungie.net and reported it with their online tool complete with a link to a twitch clip of it happenings. Their trials report link was also included with an absurd streak of 0kill wins. It's now been a year and I check that account's stats regularly. It was never banned. Almost every week he still goes flawless, still with 0 kills and 3 DCs on the other team. It's obvious nothing will and nothing has been done. When D2 comes to PC and wallhacks, aimbots, and other toolkits start popping up if Bungie has anything like the same transparency or policies as they do now, the game is going to die a swift death.

| Decided to use a sniper in pvp for the 1st time in year, so of course this happens Posted: 15 May 2017 03:24 AM PDT https://youtu.be/9xKlTjOEAYQ After not using sniper rifles in pvp for years i had one with decent specs drop so i figured might as well start using them again, naturally this happens in one of my first matches [link] [comments]  |
| Self-Rez Warlock gets deleted using purifying robes Posted: 15 May 2017 09:17 AM PDT https://clips.twitch.tv/VenomousDeliciousSquidMikeHogu I usually don't post, only lurk, but felt the need to with this clip. I knew this warlock would use self rez, but had no clue he had purifying robes on. Pretty sure this is a one in a million shot for me. Sorry in advance for my reaction :) [link] [comments]  |
| When you really want that heavy but you forgot how to Titan. Posted: 15 May 2017 05:42 AM PDT |
| Literary Destiny: Heavy Weapons! Posted: 15 May 2017 05:38 AM PDT Hey all– Sorry to fall off the map for a bit there ... thesis is done, 28,000 words later, and I've been floating, a bit lost since then. Anyways, this is fourth installment in this series–references in armor can be found here; primaries, here; and secondaries, here! Of course, as usual, likely none of these lists catch every reference, but I'll do my damnedest to find the ones I can. Without further ado about nothing, here's the heavy weapons! Machine GunsAbbadon: "I am one with the flame. The conflagration reborn. I am your funeral pyre." —Anthem of the Abbadon
Emphasis mine. Nova Mortis: "From the space between I come. Fragments of stars burn in my footsteps. In my hands I hold Death." —Song of the Nova Mortis This set off a few of my 'reference radars', but I can't nail anything down. 'The space between stars' in particular sounds like something I've heard before. Nemesis Star: What is the answer when the question is extinction? A reference to Nemesis, a brown dwarf that was theoretically orbiting our sun at an average of 95,000 AU (one Astronomical Unit is the average distance of the Earth from the sun, about 150 million kilometers). Posited in 1984, its existence was used to explain extinction events that happen roughly every 26 million years. There is little compelling evidence for its existence, though. Diluvian 10/4x: Tossed upon the seas of war and tragedy. So the OED defines 'diluvian' as Of or pertaining to a deluge; esp. of the Noachian Flood. Not sure what 'war' this oft-reviled gun refers to, but the Noachian flood is the Biblical one–a more common term is Unending Deluge III: When it rains ... The second of our rain-themed machine-guns, this is a reference to the idiom: When it rains, it pours. Basically, when bad things happen, they happen all at once. Sawtooth Oscillator: Additive synthesis, where A is amplitude and B is bullets in their face. Additive synthesis is, "... a sound synthesis technique that creates timbre by adding sine waves together." It's like the reverse of the destructive interference that sound-cancelling headphones use. Against All Odds: Threat assessment calculates your odds of survival at 3,721:1...unless you pull this trigger. A reference to 1980's The Empire Strikes Back, this is C-3PO talking to Han Solo: "Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1." Han, in response, "Never tell me the odds!" An addendum from /u/Shrapnel-X-
Thanks for that! First Citizen IX: Executor-issued machine gun for loyal supporters of the New Monarchy. One of the very few faction weapons I can nail down as a reference based on the name alone, 'first citizen' is a decent translation of princeps, which is the Latin name for one of the titles of the Roman Emperor. The 9th Roman emperor, Vespasian, was best-known for his military conquests. Go figure! MG18A Harm's Way: The nothingness dispenser. 'harm's way' is a phrase, but more interestingly, '18A' (here I'm assuming MG just means 'machine-gun') is the US Army's classification for a Special Forces Officer. I don't know how 'official' or used those classifications are, but if an Army person could clear that up, that'd be stellar! BTRD-345: Better than the rest. C'mon, it's got to mean something, right (thanks to /u/IAmTheMasterVader, /u/Thr33x and /u/DogfishHeadBeer for those posts, respectively!)? The only new lead I could think of would be to assume 'BTR' stands for 'Better Than (the) Rest', and that 'D345' either stands for a ... Italian Diesel Locamotive or a ... Schubert Violin Concerto? I just can't imagine anyone who feels that strongly about either of those things. I just ... it's just standing there, teasing us. /u/GeneralBattuta says that,
Thanks for that clarification! I kind of want to shoot Eric a message on twitter or something now. Hannibal-E: This Echo variant is rigged for destruction through the delivery of sustained heavy fire. Hannibal is considered one of the greatest military commanders of antiquity, if not of all history. Particularly adept at maximizing his strengths and his enemies' weaknesses, he was widely regarded as brilliant throughout the world while he was alive. Bronzed Thutmose-D: A powerful Häkke firearm, earned through glory in the Crucible. Thutmose I was an Egyptian Emperor. Unsurprisingly, he was well-known for his military conquests, as well as being the first person to be actually entombed in The Valley of the Kings. Painted Artemisia-D: A highly accurate Häkke heavy machine gun, earned through glory in the Crucible. Inasamuch as I can tell, this gun is just a copy of the Zombie Apocalypse WF47–same color, model, archetype, everything. Xerxes-E: Beneath the loud color scheme is an intricate mechanism utterly devoted to the delivery of brute force. Referencing Xerxes I (A.K.A. Xerxes the Great), he was a Persian emperor of staggering renown. He ruled the Persian empire at the height of its territorial apex, from roughly 486-465 BCE, when he was assassinated by the head of his Royal Bodyguards. Tamerlane-E1: The heavy Echo-1 Tamerlane uses sapphire wiring to integrate tactical systems. A name and body I particularly like, Tamerlane–Persian, تيمور لنگ–is perhaps better known by 'Timur'. A Turko-Mongol ruler during the 14th century, he oversaw the establishment and massive expansion of the aptly-named Timurid Empire. His military conquests are estimated to have killed around 17 million people, or around 5% of the world population at the time. Genghis-E1: Echo-1 Genghis variant, built to put rounds through Cabal armor and anything inside. Last, but definitely, 100% not least ... Genghis Khan was the Great Khan (read: emperor) and founder of the Mongol Empire. That empire was the largest contiguous empire ever, period. A ferocious military commander and ruler during the 13th century, he is widely regarded as the founding figure of modern Mongolia. It's worth noting that many of the machine-guns have less rare variants with the same name but different suffix, like the Xerxes-C. If that was the case, I simply chose the rarest variant of the name. Rocket LaunchersGjallarhorn: "If there is beauty in destruction, why not also in its delivery?" —Feizel Crux A fitting origin for a game-defining weapon, Gjallarhorn is the horn that Heimdallr will blow at the beginning of Ragnarök. Its name, translated, roughly means 'yelling horn' or 'the loud-sounding horn'. Apparently its call can be heard throughout all worlds. I fall firmly on the side of pronouncing the 'gj' as a 'yuh' sound (like in Bjorn and fjord), but even official sources have it as 'guh-yah', which sounds silly. Also, watch that trailer again, it's still pretty awesome. Unto Dust 00: A rocket launcher, modified by Dead Orbit's superb technicians and specialists. A reference to Genesis 3:19:
NRSV. I remember someone pointing this out in one of my previous posts. If that was you, please let me know–I can't seem to find the comment through the Ctrl-F function :/ SOUND AND FURY~: replicate caution replicate overheating replication destabilization imminent~ SUROS. A reference to the Scottish Play, the name is derived from Macbeth's speech after he hears that his wife has died. I'm going to put the whole speech up, because it is truly one of the staggering Shakespeare monologues: Macbeth, 5.5.16-27. Here's a wonderful analysis of the speech by a very young Sir Ian Mckellen. Another point from /u/Shrapnel-X-:
Thanks again! Choleric Dragon SRT-49: What you'd call a 'fiery' personality. An reference to humoral theory, a medieval understanding of psychology. There were four 'humoral types': sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic. Choleric was most often associated with irritability and short-temperedness. Something Wicked: It's coming this way. A reference to Ray Bradbury's novel, Something Wicked This Way Comes. The novel itself concerns a traveling circus with a ringmaster who is apparently able to grant your desires–at a price. Dark fantasy, straying into horror. An additional layer from /u/teawithcthulhu (this is great!):
Thanks for that! Wastelander V2V: Nothing good can come of this. 'Wastelander' is too ingrained in my mind as a Fallout thing for this to be completely dismissed. But I can't make sense of it with regards to the flavor text. Affentheater C/L-A: Our enemies watch us huddle and just laugh. But it's our show now. A reference to German Affentheater, it was a common source of entertainment in the 19th century. It often involved trained monkeys doing ridiculous things, as well as normally 'human' things. The flavor text takes on a bit more of a dark cast with that realization. SwordsThe only one worth mentioning is Dreadfang–Kingly brother, I thank you for the gift of your failure. The sword logic demands a pinnacle.–and even it is only a reference to Destiny lore. The rest of the swords–the three exotics, three legendaries, and three Refer-a-Friends–are all generically named with pretty dull flavor texts. Not much to see here. That about wraps it up! As always, if there's one you think I've missed, let me know and I'll edit it in! Thanks so much for reading, Guardians! [link] [comments]  |
| A Hunter's PVP Ritual: The Trial of Knives Posted: 15 May 2017 09:26 AM PDT 2 Hunters Enter, 1 Hunter Leaves Gunslingers, although perhaps less fixated on propriety than their punch-happy, plate-wearing brethren, do nonetheless maintain certain rituals when it comes to Crucible combat. In certain 1 v. 1 situations, similar to the ways in which Bubble Titans may attempt to assert dominance through spontaneous Thunderdoming, two Gunslingers will occasionally engage in a form of traditional Hunter combat commonly referred to as "Knifey-knifey Jump-jump." As is always the case, when you witness two Guardians engaged in ritual combat, it is proper to leave them to their conversation. [link] [comments]  |

| As someone who's only been playing for the past couple of months, this was very satisfying! Posted: 15 May 2017 10:27 AM PDT I put down the game way before any of the DLCs came out but recently started playing again. [link] [comments]  |

| Starting a new character after nearly three years Posted: 14 May 2017 10:24 PM PDT So, I've been playing Destiny off and on since launch day, and through the whole game I've only had my one character, my titan. I always refused to create a new character, due to my admittedly rather silly loyalty to my titan, but when AoT released and I realized I wasn't gonna max on just one character I started a new one, my Hunter. And let me tell you, playing this game "new" again after nearly three years has been such a cool experience. I had actually forgotten what it felt like to be scared of the fallen and the hive. Wandering down into those tunnels in the Steppes only to be greeted by those at-the-moment unkillable Knights and running like hell to get out. And I'm actually excited to get blue engrams. Hell, greens are actual engrams again and not just weapons parts. It's taken a game I've gotten very, very familiar with and made it new and exciting again. I honestly haven't had this much fun with Destiny in months. Also I realize there's no real point to this post. Just wanted to share my revitalized love for this game. [link] [comments]  |
