| This Week At Bungie 07/27/2017 Posted: 27 Jul 2017 01:50 PM PDT Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46087 This week at Bungie, we're grading one test and cramming for the next. The Destiny 2 Beta on PlayStation and Xbox is over! Millions of you showed up to stand in the fires of the Tower and fight back. If you were one of the brave souls who dove past the drill to infiltrate the Inverted Spire, we thank you from the bottom of our sadistic hearts. The Crucible was an epic struggle between Market and Rugs. The Farm was so packed for the one hour we tested, we had to coop the chickens. All told, this was the biggest Bungie Beta ever, and we're not even done running eager test subjects through the obstacle course. We learned a lot about how we can improve the launch of Destiny 2 – on consoles, at least. There will come a time for a public analysis of our findings. Before we dare take a victory lap or share statistics for how many shots were fired in the new version of Control, we have preparations to make for the final phase of pre-launch sparring. PC Community! You are up next. And this will be our first dance. Save the Date. Destiny 2 PC Beta****
Minimum Requirements We know you want to know what you'll need to play. This question has been floating on the winds of the Internet ever since we finally uttered a sentence with the words "Destiny" and "PC" and "Yes!" The following are the specs for what you'll need to build to participate. Recommended Spec
Minimum Spec
If you're upgrading, here is hardware that's available today and runs the game well: Recommended
Minimum
Bungie's Event Machine
These are the specs for the Beta. They could change before launch on October 24. It all depends on how things play out. This is not the last piece of news we'll have for PC players prior to the Beta. In the weeks to come, expect us to sound off again with more details on how you can get the most out of your first steps in the PC build. Today, we wanted to let you know when the exercise will begin, and give you enough time – assuming you'll even need it – to build the perfect rig. There's much more to come. We're looking so forward to hosting you for this crucial testing op. It's been a long time since Bungie has served gamers on anything other than a console. This is an exciting time for us in our studio, and we're packing a lot of love into the PC Beta. We hope you'll join us for this tactical pre-party. Stop Them Cold Did you hear the one about the new Exotic Weapon that you'll meet in Destiny 2? Everyone will have a chance to get their hands on this weapon in Destiny 2. If you want to be the first Guardian in a Public Event to trace your enemies with pure energy, reserve yours now. If you already have a pre-order in your hot hands, this cool implement of destruction will be waiting for you. Endgame: Crucible Destiny 2 is closed – for now. That front will open back up for more testing on new platforms soon. In the meantime, there are some pretty heavy milestones in the Crucible that we have known for three years that need to be observed. Do you look good in royal blue? Have you reached Rank 7 in your Age of Triumph Record Book? This weekend will be the last occurrence of Trials of Osiris before the offer to obtain the Age of Triumph t-shirt expires. If that page needs some final love, this will be your last chance. Your deadline is August 1. This weekend will not be the last Trials of Osiris, mind you, but it is your last time to profit uniquely. Next week, the Iron Lords will host their very last competition in the Destiny 1 Crucible. It's the end of an era! One more time, you're invited to Felwinter Peak to collect some Bounties and let your Light run wild in the Iron Banner. The circle will close where it began. The game is Control. You'll discover the rewards in the offing when you visit Efrideet. We've arrived at an interesting time where we live in between two worlds. Step by step, we'll migrate to a brand new title. Don't miss out on your last chance to partake in these rituals as you know them. Calling all Overlords Are you the leader of a Clan? If you are, your gaming life is about to get a lot more interesting in Destiny 2. While you wait for that day to arrive, we have some housekeeping for you to do. Yesterday, we updated Bungie.net with some new functionality to let Group Founders prepare their Clans for the trek to Destiny 2. If you are Founder of a Clan, give the support documentation a read. If you are a member of a Clan, go and rally your leadership to do what they gotta do. Proctors of the Test Destiny Player Support always has one eye on the game, one eye on the datacenter, and one eye on the road. The rest of their eyes are on the Bungie.net forum. While we were Beta testing, they were taking the Moose by the horns. They never sleep. Well, not at the same time anyway. This is their report.

Movie of the Week: Praise Power Ammo (Explicit language) Video Link Honorable Mention: Excitable Shaxx. Video Link Honorable Mention: Drop the Bass Video Link Honorable Mention: They weren't ready for this... Video Link Those were some sweet movies, but I need to share what was my movie of the week.* All month long, our favorite Fireteam at IGN is chatting about their experiences from a recent visit to our studio. They played a lot of Destiny 2 and they debriefed the team who is finishing it. There's one chapter from their story that I want to call out personally. This blog article was written in English, but it will be read in many different languages. It's an enormous privilege to be able to speak to a global community. Our Localization Specialists are so much more than translators. They are storytellers and community managers in their own right. We're lucky to have them on our team, and I'm personally lucky to have them carrying our message forward to the rest of the world. Speaking of the rest of world, we're going to gamescom! Can't wait to join the press of humanity and watch the Rhine flow by again. The road to launch has some more awesome stops for us to make. Germany is next on the itinerary.

| Stop calling every old content "Re-skin" Posted: 26 Jul 2017 04:31 PM PDT !Warning! English isn't my native Language !Warning! Sometimes it's become annoying to see people claiming that every similarity between D1 and D2 is a "Re-skin"... Suros guns in D2 look like Suros guns from D1... Or Fallen in D2 look like Fallen from D1. It is not "Re-skin". Suros wepons in D2 should look like Suros weapons in D1, because they both conform to Suros's unique design aesthetic. Bungie can create new models for new Suros weapons, but old models should not just be erased from the game. Those old models are part of the Destiny Universe. They existed in Destiny Universe, and they should continue to exist. They should not be removed from the game just by the fact that hey are "re-skin". The same follows for enemy models. Vex Goblins are common part of the Vex Faction; Bungie doesn't have to design a whole suite of new enemies and delete old ones. It's becoming ridiculous that some people are calling all D1 models in D2 "Re-skins", and want it to be removed/replaced without any good reason but... just because it is not a new content. Why is nobody complaining that Zavala in Destiny 2 is a Re-skin of Zavala from Destiny 1? If you understand that Zavala is part of the Destiny Universe, then you should understand that some old content is part of the same Destiny Universe. Edit: Improved text with EbolaNF's help.

All that remains is a flotilla of construction barges and a lone human habitat that serves as the perfect hiding place for some of humanity's scattered forces – and something far more sinister below. a lone human habitat that serves as the perfect hiding place for some of humanity's scattered forces – and something far more sinister below. and something far more sinister below.

| Eventually I'd still like a "Barber Shop" in the social space Posted: 27 Jul 2017 01:44 AM PDT I understand for technical reasons why it may be difficult to change the race of your character (I wouldnt mind even paying for it), but in an upcoming expansion Id still love to be able to change my look, paint, hair, etc. Edit: To clarify, because it's been asked about and commented on a lot, I personally think recustomizing your character should only cost glimmer or legendary shards. Changing your characters race or gender is the only thing I would pay real monies for. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Why is Destiny’s narrative focused on a lone savior when the gameplay emphasizes teamwork? Posted: 27 Jul 2017 12:28 PM PDT The central contradiction that exists within Destiny today (and it seems in the sequel, as well) is that the central story missions and narrative emphasize the player as a singular hope for the city while most playable activities and the Bungie's core ethos of the game stress that the player is a member of a team of guardians. I understand wanting to make the player feel important and powerful, but how is acknowledging that we are a part of a greater group a detriment to that feeling? Here is a list of examples of how the player is made to feel that our guardian is unique and above the rest:
This might not seem like much, but it is discordant with the themes of the importance of teamwork and community that Destiny also stresses through the following:
This is meant to be a constructive critique. I really enjoy Destiny and want to see it reflect its own values even more clearly. While it is impossible to go back and correct these aspects in Destiny 1 and vanilla Destiny 2, I would very much like to see the narrative aspects of Destiny better reflect the values of community. Going forward, I'd love to see more narrative emphasis on our guardians being valued team members. It would be nice to perhaps show our fellow team-mates in cutscenes, or hear in the social space "hey, those are the guardians that rescued Rasputin." What do you think? Any other observations/ suggestions? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 26 Jul 2017 09:20 PM PDT All I want is a poncho, maybe a bandolier, some cowboy boots, and a real holster for my handcannon. Speaking of which, can we get cool, themed weapons for PvE too? The Last Word is boss af but it's hot trash against/in anything other than trash/PvP. Same with the Thorn. Both are hot trash if you use them for anything harder than the non-heroic strikes.

| The Unofficial Farmball Rulebook: A Proposition Posted: 27 Jul 2017 07:19 AM PDT Alright, so like most of you here, I had a blast playing football/soccer at the Farm during the Beta. It was fun having my team assign each other positions, seeing how the ball mechanics worked, and watching those flares go off. I've always been really into the fiction of Destiny, and found it especially amusing how Bungie canonized 'Guardians dancing to no music', 'recreational Tower Jumping', and 'standing on the Vanguard table' in the Grimoire. So, my mind immediately started racing, thinking of how this game would be played by the actual residents of the Farm. The game at the Farm is obviously way more established than playing with the ball in the Tower, but it still has the potential to get clustery if there are too many people on the field. And you know what? That can be fine too. It's probably gonna happen either way. If you want, go 6 on 1, kick the ball into tree trunks for trick shots, see if you can stand on it, etc. But for those who want to play a fair, scored game why don't we all think of some fun community rules? Based on the information that we have, and assuming Bungie isn't going to add much more to the experience, what can we come up with? And while we're at it, instead of calling it Soccer or Football, let's skip the debate (despite the Farm being in the EDZ), roll with the fiction a little bit, and embrace the notion that Guardians and citizens of the Last City hailed from a thousand nations, most lost to time, and simplify the name a bit for everyone. So here we go. The Unofficial Farmball GuideGameplay MechanicsFor those who didn't have the pleasure of visiting the Farm during the Beta, let's review some basics. At the back of the Farm you'll see a field, flanked by a fence on one side and a river on the other, with two goals on either end. The ball will usually be found in the very middle of the field. Unlike the ball at the Tower, the ball at the Farm can be kicked very easily and is pretty sensitive (comparable to the Tower's Purple Ball). That being said, the ball will often be kicked out of bounds, but will respawn back in the middle of the field after a few seconds. Due to the nature of the game, it's unlikely that any sides are going to be kicking the ball back in play from the sidelines, so both teams should probably just be ready to kick the ball as soon as it respawns. If the ball is kicked into a goal, sparks will signal a point, and 1 of 3 lights will glow on panel inside that goal. This is how you keep score. Upon the 3rd point in one goal, flares fire into the sky, which can be viewed as the end of the match. Team CompositionObviously you can play whatever position you want, but I think the fictional archetypes of the Guardians tie in nicely with Farmball.
Match SizeBut how many Guardians should there be on a team? This will of course probably change depending on how populated the Farm is and how many Guardians want to play at once. Fireteam size discrepancies in Destiny 2 make this a little difficult as well, so for the sake of writing an Official Unofficial Rulebook, let's just pick a size. An ideal match size seems to be 3v3. This number feels like a comfortable player count considering how easily the ball can be knocked out of bounds if there are too many Guardians on the field at once. 3v3 also solidifies the roles of Goalkeeper, Defender, and Forward. In addition, a 3v3 match can form naturally via a Raid Team splitting in two, or two separate fireteams coming out of a Strike or other PvE content. What if you have a Fireteam of 4? Maybe agree to rotate out positions after each goal. If you and your fireteam walk up to a game already in progress, there are actually some folding chairs on the sidelines for you to sit in. Crack open a cold one, pick a side and cheer them on with some emotes! And if you're playing, keep in mind that there may be other fireteams waiting to play. Score your three goals, celebrate, and share the field with those who are patiently waiting. Match DurationAll players will start the match by standing in their goal. This ensures that there is a visible line to stay behind until the match starts. Once it begins, the Forwards rush the ball as the Goalkeepers and Defenders take their positions. Since there is no game clock, matches will be decided based on the first team to reach three goals. More often than not, this will probably mark the end of a game, especially if there are other Guardians waiting to play. However, on the off chance that there's no one waiting on the sidelines, this may also be viewed as the end of the first round. Round 2 will once again be the first team to get three goals. If Team A wins again, the game is over. However, if Team B wins Round 2, Round 3 can be played in order to break the tie. At that point, the round victories will read "2:1" and an ultimate winner is then decided. Misc. Suggestions!Apart from the sections above, what other fun ideas can we add into Farmball to enhance the experience? Let's hear them!
What do you guys think? Of course anyone can play however they want, but it would be great if there was some sort of fun standard we could all play towards. I'd love it if "Farmball" was a community-built experience, so the more ideas we can add to this, the better. I played soccer for six years, but it was forever ago, so please help me out! Whether this picks up any steam or not, I know that something amazing and fun will sprout from the community, based on just this tiny mechanic Bungie added in our new social space. :) And whether it's for fun or the sweatiest of sweaties, I'm looking forward to getting to play it again come September 6th!

| So I saw people were making physical copies of the Grimoire Posted: 27 Jul 2017 07:14 AM PDT http://imgur.com/a/Ix9Wv I decided to print a PDF someone made (source incoming) of the Destiny Grimoire (up to HoW) from DropBox and bind them together with a spiral at my local OfficeMax. I realize I'm not the first to do this, but I'd like to bring back attention to it for how easy it is to do, and how cool it turns out! I made the cover design but the rest was from the PDF.

| DeeJ discussing Guided Games and Solo Players in Destiny 2 Posted: 27 Jul 2017 07:13 AM PDT Last night I had an opportunity to interview DeeJ on Twitch and for our podcast, we talked for over an hour about the past 3 years of Destiny, the community and of course Destiny 2. Wanted to share this one minute clip where DeeJ talks about the purpose of Guided Games and what that means for solo players.

| The Beta or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Criticism Posted: 27 Jul 2017 08:08 AM PDT I'll be the first to admit that coming into this subreddit week after week I tend to steer clear of posts like the one I'm creating right now. Mainly because gamers are a passionately critical bunch and some would even say super salty. I've been playing since TTK and love the guides, lore, and weekly reset information. It's been super helpful. However the criticisms and straight salt have made me avoid this subreddit. Until the Beta. I realized during the beta that the reasons people are so critical of Destiny and The Destiny 2 Beta is because they love the game. They love the world. They love their guardians and most importantly their loot. That being said I started doing something different during the beta. I started to really listen to all the of the criticisms of the community, podcasts and clanmates. I learned a lot. Here's what I learned:
I think on those 3 points 98% of all of us can agree on. I also think that calling people toxic for voicing their concerns or salty is a misnomer. The truth is the critical are just voicing all their opinions because they want the game to be better because they love it. The "Fanboys" often take offense to the criticism because they feel like their game is being attacked and want to defend it. We wouldn't be playing this game if we didn't love it. We wouldn't be critical if we didn't love it. Bungie is currently working tirelessly on Destiny 2 and the community is excited and ready to play. I hope to see you all in Destiny 2 in 40 Days TLDR: We are all passionate about the success of Destiny and want the best for Destiny 2 [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| My Transmog Dream for Destiny 2 Posted: 27 Jul 2017 11:44 AM PDT Diablo 3 has the perfect Transmog system. If you've never played Diablo 3 before, I'll explain how it works. Any time you find a piece of gear (weapon or armor) you will unlock it's appearance. Once you want to change the appearance of whatever you currently have equipped, you can visit D3's Mystic vendor. Once there, you can throw each armor piece or weapon into a window, then choose from any of the appearances you've currently unlocked. Pay some gold to her, and BOOM! Appearance changed. I can't tell you how much I would love a system like this in Destiny 2. Remember all that cool rare(blue) armor you used to find in D1? Well with this system you could make your max light armor look just like it. I highly doubt this will make it into the game at launch...or ever, but I can dream. EDIT So obviously Exotics would be a big issue here on the PvP side of things. Easy fix there would be to not allow Exotics to be transmogged. Only Legendary quality or lower could have it's appearance changed. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Expectations can make or break a game... Posted: 27 Jul 2017 07:58 AM PDT ...and that is why Bungie is playing it smart this time around. Its much easier to wow people after playing a mildly fun, content limited, no progression, beta rather than showing us all the new features and gameplay like they did with D1 alpha and beta. I think a lot of people will be pleasantly surprised come release day. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Anyone feverishly trying to find things to do until D2 release? Posted: 27 Jul 2017 12:15 PM PDT Outside of a typical routine day, work and college I've been finding it hard to find things to make the time pass more enjoyable. I've been feeling bleak towards games lately with nothing really jumping out at me to want to play. What are some of the things you've picked up to pass the time? Or do you just not give a shit and it'll get here when it gets here. IGN first was a good way to satisfy the craving for July, now we have the home stretch of August.

| Posted: 27 Jul 2017 12:11 PM PDT Big thanks to the pick up group I connected with last night on the Destiny Companion app recruitment section. I started playing in December with some friends occasionally and a small not very active clan. I tried my hand at raiding a couple months ago and have beaten Crota, and parts of Kings Fall and Wrath. My first go at VoG was a rough exercise in head banging. Spent two long evenings trying to do it, first night doing and redoing the Templar over and over and the second night advancing to Atheon, and staying up way too late trying to get that completion but the team and I just couldn't quite do it. While I had a basic idea of what to do, I wasn't very familiar with the mechanics and didn't have the best equipment either. I'm sure that didn't help. The frustration lead me to back off from raids for a time as an exercise in headaches. I worked on leveling up other characters, acquiring better gear, and playing lots with a friend and his gf who got back into the game, helping them level up and sharing things I've learned to make their lives easier (as kind others have done for me). Fast Forward to now. I've joined some 100.io groups and teamed up with people from there (haven't been able to sync up for a raid with one of my groups yet), played trials and gotten some cool armor (haven't advanced very far, but oh well) and just finished the Age of Triumph book. I tried to join a raid on the 100 last night and it didn't work out for whatever reason (never got an invite or reply from the person who put it together). I searched the Destiny Companion app for raids and found a group needing 1 player and joined. A little less than two hours later we were finished. I had a few dumb deaths (missing the platform when jumping while blinded), but was much better than the previous time and thankfully not the only one who wasn't perfect. We almost beat Atheon on the first go, and then get stuck in a funk where we didn't even fight him for a few rounds. We get to the point where people are saying this is the last try. Someone got taken out by an explosive harpy so of course we had to do it again, "one more time," but actually make it to the damage phase. We get there, I land my jump only nearly blind (after taking out the last oracle with seconds to spare), we get Atheon down to the last sliver. At this point, we're not stopping, Time's Conflux is gone, we keep firing hoping to survive and get the job done. BOOM! Rewards drop, no one died, and the sleeper helped put Atheon down for the night. A satisfying finish in one round and some people had run out of heavy synths. Friendship requests all around. So thanks again team, glad I saw there was a spot available and was able to join. It's just really fun and nice to have a satisfying experience like this with a pick up group. Hopefully I can complete King's Fall and Wrath of the Machine in full before D2 drops. Maybe get some completions on my warlock too.

| "Wasted on Destiny" just broke 1 million Posted: 26 Jul 2017 05:24 PM PDT Hi everyone!I'm the maker of Time Wasted on Destiny, and I wanted to express to all of you my greatest thanks. There are just over one million players who looked up their time on my website now, and that means so much to me. I started this funny little project at the beginning of summer 2015, before the release of The Taken King. Even though I came late to the website game, I already had some experience with Bungie's API for having made a website for Destiny before: Dinklebot. The idea for this website came from a friend, who used to check his time played on League of Legends on a cute little site named "Wasted on LOL". You can guess what happened next, although I certainly didn't expect this to be so popular... I wasn't the first to make a website telling people the time they spent playing Destiny. I knew however that there was something the others did not do, or didn't want to do due to speed constraints. I was able to add the time for deleted characters because that was the only big computing my website would be doing, while all the other websites had complicated stats and other neat features. That's where the "Wasted" becomes relevant, because just like many players, I don't find this time wasted at all. Deleted characters, however, are lost forever. So I must say one last time thank you very much for coming to my website and giving me your experience to always improve my creation. It has been a rewarding experience, and you can all expect to see my website change its purpose for Destiny 2 soon enough, with added features and more oomph. On a side note, here is a short Q&A for the future of my website.
Yes, even though it will now be about Destiny 2 instead of Destiny 1.
Yes, although it will not be updated anymore. Do you have more questions to ask? I'm open to all feedback. Thank you very much and I wish you as much great time on Destiny 2! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
