| And still we find new things to do in this game. Posted: 31 May 2017 04:55 AM PDT You have to give credit to this fantastic game. Even now after 3 years we still had a new experience in Destiny last night. We'd just completed VoG, back in the Tower doing admin when 4 of us decide to take the ball / orb thing to the upper area of the Tower (where Saladin used to be when Iron Banner was on). Myself and one other's goal was Saladin's old area. Our other two fireteam members took the opposite opening. We played football. 1 touch of the ball each. We actually ended up with a crowd watching (a mighty 2 man crowd of non fireteam guardians). After about 20 minutes the ball disappeared. So we played 'follow the leader' around the tower. We managed to get 9 of the 12 guardians in the tower to join in. All culminating in a circle outside the post master for a dance off. GG to all you randoms that joined in with our tomfoolery. It was very entertaining. This game... A social masterclass. :-) [link] [comments]  |

| Thinking back, how did we manage to defeat Crota? Posted: 31 May 2017 08:47 AM PDT With D2 on the horizon, I started thinking back on our biggest victories throughout thr first game. One thing I could not understand, is how we managed to defeat Oryx's son on his own throne world, hear me out. Its explained through lore how we were able to end Oryx. The King gets his powers from the worm inside his body, this worm must be fed constantly or it will consume him instead. To this end, Oryx designed the tithing system, to which Crota was a big part of. By killing Crota, we break a really important link in the tithing chain, and this weakens Oryx sufficiently for the player guardian to be able to destroy his physical form. However, Oryx is much stronger inside his ascendant realm, so in order to weaken him to the point of vulnerability, we end his entire court plus his two remaining daughters. Even though we sap him of a big chunk of his power through these acts, the King's true form still could have cheesed us through a simple body slam. Why he doesnt do this is also explained through lore. Oryx's worm demands that he constantly explore and discover. Its possible that since most of his tithing chain was broken by the point of the final battle, Oryx was scared that his worm would turn on him if he didnt come up with a complex and contrived way to defeat the guardians. Crota, however, is a different story. According to the Grimoire, his physical form was extremely powerful, as he managed to singlehandedly defeat the largest guardian army ever deployed. But when our 6 man team faces him inside his ascendant realm(he is supposed to be much more powerful in here than in the physical realm) he's kind of a pushover. We can argue that Crota's tithing chain was broken by that point as well, seeing as we killed most of his commanders like Omnigul, Ir Yut, and the Fist, but what's stopping him from rushing our team and pooping on us with that 1-shotting sword of his? Is something preveting him from doing so? Or is the Monster of Luna just that dumb? I understand that from a gameplay point of view, you cant have an invincible boss like that, but atleast Oryx's downfall was explained through lore. I dont think its explained for Crota at all.

| My Girlfriend Drew a Picture of a Gorgon… Posted: 30 May 2017 10:41 PM PDT http://imgur.com/gallery/6u1MN She's never heard of the Gorgon's Labyrinth so I was explaining it to her. This was her depiction of a Gorgon. She's kinda the best. 😂 [link] [comments]  |
| I just want less load time for D2 Posted: 31 May 2017 05:28 AM PDT Opens Destiny I'd be fine with this if everything didn't take so long. [link] [comments]  |
| [Tower thought] The way each Raid encounter starts actually fits in with the Lore Posted: 31 May 2017 09:41 AM PDT As a Y2 player, the only thing that bugs me about Vault of Glass was how all the encounters just start up immediately (I'm looking at you, Challenge Mode Atheon. Fuck you, give us some time to coordinate like literally every other boss). Especially since every single encounter in King's Fall needs to be triggered. But after some thought, I've realized that the way the Raids actually operate fits in with the theme and lore surrounding it. TL;DR We have to opt-in to fight the Hive, the Vex just want us gone, and we have to trigger SIVA's self-defenses to destroy it.
The Hive Raids Crota's End and King's Fall both have us go into an Ascendant Hive's throne world and kill them. That's our mission, but that's not what the Hive have Throne Worlds for. The real purpose for Throne Worlds is to make sure that you have to actually be stronger than the Hive in order to kill them. Throne Worlds are shaped and powered by their respective Ascendant Hive - they make the rules, and you have to follow them. Not only does this protect them, but it's also a form of Sword Logic - if you can't beat us by playing by our rules, then you aren't stronger than us, and you deserve to die. Each encounter in CE and KF require us to "opt in" - we have to actually start the encounter. In doing so, we accept the rules that Crota and Oryx have laid out for us, and we buy into the Sword Logic. If we aren't going to play by their rules, we aren't going to play at all.
Vault of Glass In contrast, the Vex don't give a hoot about Sword Logic. The idea of "if you're stronger than me, then I don't deserve to exist" doesn't, well, exist for them like it does for the Hive. The Vex just want you out of their Vault. The Vault is basically a big computer, a place where the Vex use tremendous amounts of power to figure out how to do timey-wimey stuff. When we're in the Vault, Guardians are nothing more than a computer virus. You wouldn't expect your anti-virus to wait for the virus to do stuff - you want it to try its hardest to destroy the virus. So that's what the Vex do. Atheon doesn't care if you don't have time to coordinate your next move before he starts blasting you in the face. Sword Logic doesn't matter. It just wants you to die.
Wrath of the Machine The House of Devils doesn't follow the Sword Logic either, so in theory the encounters should start immediately like the VoG. But we're not just fighting Splicers, we're fighting SIVA, and SIVA has this little thing called a self-defense protocol (thanks, Rasputin). SIVA isn't inherently dangerous - it doesn't inherently try to kill Guardians. We use SIVA in some of our weapons and armor, after all. And the Golden Age uses of SIVA were originally constructive, not weaponized. But it's also programmed to protect itself. Enter the Guardians. SIVA is content with just chilling out and growing / building, until we start shooting at it. That's when its defenses kick in, and that's when it decides we need to die. And the Siege Engine? Well, that's just Meksis getting frustrated that his minions are useless, so he decides to run us over with a Space Zamboni.
I know it's not a perfect explanation, and I know the real reason everything doesn't start automatically is because it's better for the players, but still, I thought it was cool how it all still sort of fits together. Thanks for reading! [link] [comments]  |
| Which raid do you guys think Bungie got right in terms of loot drops? Posted: 31 May 2017 04:48 AM PDT For me, WotM was raid loot drops done right, a rigid loot table so you knew which encounter the drop you wanted would come from, and the option for a second drop from the chest if you felt you needed it. I wonder how Bungie will further expand on this system in D2, or if they feel they "nailed it" in D1. What do you Guardians think? [link] [comments]  |

| I made a little thing - simple VR walk about of some destiny ships Posted: 31 May 2017 08:27 AM PDT Almost forgot I made this a couple of weeks ago. If you're a vive owner, you can walk around and take a look at some ships of Destiny in VR. It really gives you a sense of appreciation for detail of the 3d models that you can't really feel from the 2d flat screen. [link] [comments]  |

| What is your favorite strike from D1? Posted: 31 May 2017 12:03 PM PDT 3 years of playing destiny (including the beta) and I'm surprised to say that my favorite strike is still vanilla "The Devils Lair". It might be the nostalgia or the layers involved in completing it (god I miss taking down the walker without an OP sniper), but I love the hell out of that strike. [link] [comments]  |
| Massive Breakdown of How to Prepare for Destiny 2's PvP Posted: 31 May 2017 08:50 AM PDT Massive Breakdown Podcast Episode 45: How to Prepare for Destiny 2's PvP - for those who don't want to read, or prefer to listen! This breakdown is going to be a little different from the normal ones I do, in that it's not really a heavy numbers and stats write-up. Instead, it's a generally lighthearted attempt to help people prepare themselves for the changes that are upcoming to Destiny's PvP environment. As someone who was fortunate enough to get a chance to experience these changes firsthand, I can say it was absolutely a shock to the system how different (and yet still the same at its core) D2's PvP felt from the current state of the Crucible. Over the course of the day I played dozens of rounds, and I began to get a feel for the way things worked. When I got back home several days later and started playing D1 again, I was struck once more by how the two models contrasted. As such, I've recently decided that I want to start modeling my playstyle in Destiny 1 to mock-up to what will be available in D2, and so I've come up with this short list of ways you can prepare, and help to make the transition much smoother. I want to stress that these tips and tricks are by no means meant to be the end-all guide to prepping for D2, simply because we know a lot can change even between now and the beta. They won't make you a god in PvP or be the only possible way you'll survive the coming changes. They're mostly meant to be a fun way to show you a small taste of what D2 Crucible is like in D1, and to help you see how to not rely on some of the things that won't be available for us in the future. First thing you're going to need to change is your weapons loadout. In D1, we have a primary, a special, and a heavy. In D2 we have two primaries (one elemental and one kinetic) and a power weapon. This means snipers, shotguns, and fusions are no longer able to be carried along with an LMG, rocket launcher, or sword, but now must be used in place of them. This is a huge change, but honestly in my experience it absolutely worked out for the better in terms of gameplay (with the stipulation that I'm not sure exactly how they plan to successfully balance all the options in the power slot). Sidearms and SMGs (basically 100/2 ARs with less damage) are now considered primary weapons, so in your first two slots you now have the choice of ARs, SMGs, PRs, SRs, HCs, and sidearms. In the last slot you have rocket launchers, swords, snipers, shotguns, and fusion rifles. LMGs seem to have been totally removed from the game. To mimic this I've been doing the following:
Now thankfully, this is already basically what a lot of people run due to the current special weapon ammo meta. The biggest change may be needing to get rid of the LMG in the heavy slot, or removing the perk Grenades and Horseshoes from your rocket launcher of choice. The reason I suggest not using G&H is because I have a very strong feeling (based on conversations had at the reveal) that this perk will not be in game come D2. They've made a strong push to get rid of perks, weapons, and mechanics that they felt were either the only choice or gamebreaking, and G&H is definitely the first of those two. If you really, really don't want to run a sidearm in your secondary slot, then feel free to use a sniper, fusion, or shotgun, and just ignore your heavy. The drawback to this is you won't get the feeling of having two "primary" weapons, and the special ammo economy in D1 is much more generous than it is in D2, so if you find yourself relying on your special you're not going to have done yourself any favors. The second thing you'll want to do is start focusing more on your ability cooldowns. Now, obviously we won't have the same abilities that the classes will have in D2, simply because they've added a new one in and changed some of the supers around, but we can focus on the timing (supers and subclass perks we'll talk about in the next section). What I noticed in the gameplay was that grenades and melees took a much longer time to come back after usage. We're talking was seemed to be between 40-55 seconds, depending on perks, Compare this to currently when I can get both my grenade and melee back in 30 seconds if I spec my gear correctly. This was one of the first things I noticed in the gameplay itself, and had a huge affect on how and when I chose to use my abilities. As such I recommend staying between tiers 3 and 4 on all cooldowns, and do not hit tier 5 on any of them. Realistically, going down to tier 3 on all would probably be the best bet, but I know not everyone will want to give up their tier-11 or tier-12 builds, so I just suggest staying at 4 or lower. You'll still get them back slightly faster, but it may be slower than you're used to which will give you an idea of how the limiting feels. I also recommend not using too many perks that give you boosts to those cooldowns, but that's personal preference. The last thing we're going to talk about today are the subclasses we can use, and what perks (and exotics in some cases) we can use on each one. As of right now, it looks like we'll be getting Gunslinger, Arcstrider, Voidwalker, Dawnblade, Striker, and Sentinel in the fall D2 release. I say this because we've seen no evidence at all that the TTK subclasses will be coming back. As such, for the most part we're not going to recommend using Nightstalker or Stormcaller, and we're going to use Sunbreaker only as a poor-man's version of Dawnblade. Similarly, it appears Bladedancer has been swapped out in favor of Arcstrider, and since no one has any gameplay of that, we're going to hold off on using Bladedancer, regardless of them being basically melee-super subclasses. Voidwalker as well we have seen nothing of, so we'll wait to make plans using it. What this means is we're going to be playing as Gunslingers for Hunters, Sunsingers/Sunbreakers for the Warlocks new Dawnblade, and Strikers for Titans. Below, I'm going to list the perks you should choose for each subclass, as well as any special recommendations that I think may help (keep in mind that armor, agility, and recovery will now be part of the armor perks themselves, and so you can choose what you want for those): Hunter - GunslingerGunslinger
Warlock - DawnbladeSunsinger
If not having the super just is too hard for you to work with, you can also partially emulate Dawnblade using a Sunbreaker, although outside of the super the results won't be as satisfying. Sunbreaker
Titan - StrikerStriker
And now for the last two pieces of the pie. Use Jolder's as your artifact, since there's no sprint cooldown, and then get a group of friends and play some 4v4 custom games! If you can't get a big enough group then try to go into 6v6 with a 4-man fireteam and hope Bungie's MM and the low population does the rest. Enjoy! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 May 2017 10:31 AM PDT I think a title system would be amazing for D2 (Insert guardian name here), Slayer of Oryx or Bane of Crota. Dr. (Guardian, for getting rid of the siva plague) Chronomaster (guardian, for killing atheon) And then titles like Keeper of the Garden, ones involving key story missions. Then move onto Collector, for exotics, and Hoarder for legendaries, or engrams. Even Apprentice Cryptologist. Loremaster for capped grimiore. Stuff like that would be so badass. Only viewable in social spaces/character inspection so as to not end up like world of Warcraft, all the people with a long ass names on the screen. Thoughts? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 May 2017 12:50 AM PDT Mine was in the public beta. I looked away from the tv for a moment and that moment was when the game told me how to go to orbit. I missed it, and so I couldn't work out how to change areas. I ended up quitting back to character selection every time I wanted to go somewhere else. [link] [comments]  |

| "Types" of exotics, favorites from D1, and speculation of what we'll see in D2 Posted: 31 May 2017 07:58 AM PDT My friends and I recently had a great conversations about exotic weapons and armor. We debated which was 'best', which lead to a discussion about the types of exotics we liked in D1 and the ones we'd like to see in D2. I was thinking this would be interesting to discuss here as well. For exotic armor, my favorite ones were the ones that modified our Supers in meaningful ways. Helm of Saint 14 for the blinding bubble, Celestial Nighthawk for the Spartan Laser, and Purifier Robes for taking revenge on tbaggers in Trials. Call these the Super Exotics (creative, I know) My friend (a hunter main) prefers the Movement Exotics. Bones of Eao, Twilight Garrison, Dunermarchers, Transversive Steps. He prefers the 'set and forget' nature of exotics that give you a passive boost or clear movement advantage. His brother preferred the Boost Exotics. The ones that either boost existing abilities (double grenades via Sunbreakers, Armamentarium, Young Ahamkara's Spine) or make you slightly better at something than a mirror of you without the exotic equipped (Heart of Praxic Fire for DPS or Crest of Alpha Lupi for orb gen) So my question to you guys: which of these three groups (Super, Movement, Boost) do you like the most? There are obviously more nuanced exotics and more in-depth ways of categorizing them all, but we had a great time arguing the merits and faults of each. For D2, I personally would love to see exotics that focus on Supers and class abilities. A Titan helm you can use to modify your shield wall (let you shoot though it, make it unbreakable, let it modify your ammo type, etc.). A Hunter boot that reloads the entire fireteam when using a reload-shadestep. A Warlock chest piece that turns Nova Bomb into a continuous stream of void energy. Stuff like that. One thing I'm concerned with is the rise of 'extra perk' exotics. With the change to the perk tree that seems to be coming, having an exotic that grants a perk from another tree would feel kind of lazy; taking away choice only to replace it at the expense of an exotic slot. Thoughts? Can't wait for D2. Concerned with some stuff (4v4 PvP top of the list), but ridiculously excited for everything else. [link] [comments]  |
