| Posted: 26 Jul 2017 10:33 AM PDT Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46085 Much has been said about the vital role that Clans will play in Destiny 2. The special teams that are bound to the player experience will serve as the backbone of a new community. Clans will continue to unite like-minded players around common goals, turning new allies into old friends. As we embark on this new campaign together, Clans will also guide every player (even those lone wolves) to victory over the most powerful enemies of the Guardians. The last time we talked about Clans, we forecast some crucial steps to be taken by their Founders. In the Beta, new Clan features were notably absent because our original Destiny Clans were built on tech that goes back more than a decade. The Clan and Guided Games features in Destiny 2 required us to rework some of the underlying architecture, but we will make sure the history of your beloved communities is preserved in the process. Starting today, we've begun to update Bungie.net with this new functionality. Founding members of Clans are being called to action. It's time to rally your troops and begin planning the migration to a new title. To summarize again, in its current state, your Destiny Clan has been based on a Bungie.net Group. To benefit from the new features that Destiny 2 Clans will enjoy, the Founder of each Group will need to convert to the new Clan structure. When Destiny 2 launches, these Clans will find in-game features to manage their roster. Every member of a Destiny 2 Clan will earn rewards based on the activities of their teammates. Guided Games will enable Clans to welcome reinforcements into their Fireteams to tackle endgame activities. You'll also find a whole suite of Clan management tools on Bungie.net and the Destiny mobile application. Destiny Player Support has created a full suite of documentation for how this will work. Give it a read and begin the process of preparing your Clan for the new adventures that await. Today begins a maintenance window that will last for just under one month. If the needs of your Group are less tactical, you can leave things as they stand today and maintain a more social emphasis that can serve a larger audience. Clans, after all, are capped at 100 members, sworn to watch each other's backs! Here are some dates you should be tracking:
It must be said one more time that, if your Clan spans many Groups unified by an Alliance, this evolution will break some of those bonds. Our team is well aware of the communities this will effect. We're already thinking about how we can serve those larger entities in the future. For now, we want to provide a better experience in the game for every Clan. We'll talk more about Clan progression, Guided Games, and the rest of the social feature sets closer to launch. For today, there is one question to ask yourself: Does the Group that you founded want to be a Clan in Destiny 2? If you're not a member of a Clan, now is a great time to start shopping for one. If you're the type of player who marches to the beat of your own drum, starting a Clan will become a much better experience August 23 on Bungie.net. This #Help documentation is your finest source of information. Investigate your options and read the questions we've answered in advance. Report to the #Help forum if you have other questions. As Clan leaders, you'll be a very important person in the Destiny 2 community. Today, you can take your first step toward that world. [link] [comments]  |

| To me, D2 beta felt like classic Halo. Posted: 26 Jul 2017 08:25 AM PDT With the slower TTK, focus on Primary gunplay, and 4v4, the Destiny 2 beta felt like classic Halo to me (Halo CE - Halo 3). I played the ever loving CRAP out of the first 3 Halo games. They were my life for a good 6-7 years. Destiny 1 was a blast, but at times I did not enjoy the major emphasis on power weapons and abilities. I understand why some people might want the game to feel more like D1. Some people want a game that feels like Destiny and not Halo. For me, however, I'm loving the feeling of Destiny 2. I can't wait for its release. Edit: I am not saying that the D2 beta is exactly the same as classic Halo. I'm simply saying it reminds me of the gameplay from the classic Halo games. I also know that D1 and D2 have things that classic Halo never had (supers, enhanced movement, etc.). I'm mainly talking about the TTK, gun-play, and slower movement. Maybe that will clear up any confusion. 🙂 [link] [comments]  |

| Are we secretly Power Rangers?... Posted: 26 Jul 2017 08:50 AM PDT In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, this guy named Ivan Ooze (Ghaul) comes out of nowhere with a vengeance. He destroys the Rangers' Command Center (The Tower) and incapacitates Zordon (The Traveler) which robs the Rangers of their powers (our light). As they return to the Command Center, they find it destroyed and Zordon dying. (Same thing happened in the Homecoming mission when we returned to the Tower). Now Zordon's assistant Alpha 5 (Ghost) sends the Rangers (Guardians) to distant planets to obtain their power back. This is essentially us going to Nessus, IO, and Titan to regain our light back. Not only do the Rangers get their power back, they get it back in a different form, animal spirit. We get our light back and get different super abilities (Dawnblade, Arcstrider and Sentinel). Now they actually use these new abilities to go get the Great Power which they later use to defeat Ivan by sending him to space right into the path of a comet that destroys him. They eventually restore the Command Center and rescue Zordon. How cool would it be to actually combine super abilities during the raid in order to defeat Ghaul? We would have to become a big MegaGuardian who has to use every super in a certain order in order to defeat him. 6 Power Rangers, 6 Guardians per raid, it just makes sense. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2017 10:28 PM PDT While "Destiny 2 Beta" is an odd name for a game, it didn't stop me from appreciating how good it was. I saw it on the store and decided to give it a try. It was fantastic. I think I glitched it since my character was max level. Maybe it was designed to be like that? Who knows. I loved playing the Crew Symbol and killing other players, and hearing Lord Shaq's funny lines haha. "Control the point!" A classic. I'm questioning why it was only avaliable for a few days though, I mean it seems kind of silly to just make a game and release it for a few days then remove it, but whatever. Leave them begging for more I guess. Anyways please make "Destiny 2 beta 2"! And I'd like a backstory on the name "Destiny 2 Beta" haha. Hope you guys enjoyed it just as much as I did. edit: im happy ppl agree with me!!!!11!! Bung hole better release a sequel on consoles too!!! I forgot to mention I enjoyed playing the "perverted fire" stroke!!! Lot's of drills!1!! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Jul 2017 11:05 AM PDT Did a quick Google search to see if I could find pictures of the shell after seeing it mentioned here, came across this video and thought y'all'd be interested. [link] [comments]  |
| Sniping as a Hunter will be EASIER in Destiny 2! Posted: 26 Jul 2017 02:31 AM PDT |
| Images of the new pre-order bonuses spotted on Blizzard App Posted: 26 Jul 2017 10:10 AM PDT |
| People that repeatedly quit games in PVP really need to be given a 10 minute cool down Posted: 25 Jul 2017 04:32 PM PDT So many games in Countdown, as soon as 1 team loses 2 rounds, someone rage quits. It should be like Overwatch where if you quit 1 or 2 games, nothing happens. But if you keep doing it within a short space of time then you're given a time out (overwatch its an XP Debuff) This would mean people who have to quit for personal reasons wouldn't be punished and only people who keep rage quitting would. *Edit please stop trying to justify quitting because you have a 'personal issue' to deal with. In Overwatch you are not punished for quitting 1 or 2 games. Only when you keep doing it in a short space of time. If after reading this, you are still against it then obviously you are the one who keeps rage quitting after getting 0 kills for several rounds. *Edit 2 - the inactivity timer needs to also boot people faster and give them the same penalty [link] [comments]  |
| Virgo Conduit 1920x1080 Wallpaper Posted: 26 Jul 2017 08:34 AM PDT Took a nice screenshot in the Virgo Conduit last night before the BETA ended. Made it a nice wallpaper for any ones use :D EDIT: IMGUR LINK I should note, if anyone notices any weird distortions on the images, that's where I've edited out the D2 BETA HUD Elements, since the "HUD off" option didn't work.

| I would rather have pre-order exclusives over year+ long PS exclusives any day. Posted: 26 Jul 2017 09:59 AM PDT At least you have the option and the wait is only 3 months opposed to complete lock out for 1+ years. [link] [comments]  |
| Destiny 2 Concept Art: Enceladus not Europa Posted: 26 Jul 2017 08:33 AM PDT In the Destiny 2 concept art one of the images is of an icy moon I've heard many people say is Europa however it is actually Enceladus. If you look in the background you can see Saturn not Jupiter, Enceladus is a moon of Saturn while Europa is a moon of Jupiter. You can also compare the concept art with an artists impression of the surface of Enceladus from NASA to see a striking resemblance: http://imgur.com/a/3BEIM Europa might still be in Destiny 2 though. If we look at early concept art we can see another ice moon, this time with Jupiter in the background. Also in the grimoire there is a reference to Jupiter in ghost fragment Exo 2: We are on the ice. This is elsewhere and elsewhen. There is a mighty aurora and it is reflected in the ice so I walk between two fires although the one below is cracked and full of corpses. I have and am a weapon. Up in the sky there is a hole in Jupiter and it tears at me when I look at it. It tears at me. It is hungry. Maybe the hole is not in Jupiter but in me. The grimoire describes an icy world from which you can see Jupiter, obviously Europa. It also references bodies and an aurora in the snow like the description and name of the new rare warlock chest plate, aurora snow 3. https://m.imgur.com/a/KUGYK [link] [comments]  |
| Theory: the first D2 DLC is dropping December 5th, 2017. Posted: 26 Jul 2017 12:22 PM PDT TL;DR: time of year, day of week, and Coldheart's promo materials point to 12/5/17 as D2's first DLC release. Yearly Timing
Weekly Timing
Content Schedule Every major Destiny content update has occurred on a Tuesday:
Exotic Release Pattern While Iron Gjallarhorn set precedent for pre-order exclusive Exotics, Destiny DLCs have always brought new exotics alongside new story, strike, and raid content. The promotional materials for Coldheart include a statement that says it will be:
I don't think it's a stretch to guess that Coldheart's exotic drop chance/quest unlocks for everyone when the next DLC arrives; therefore, Coldheart's global availability = DLC release date. Whatcha think, DTG? edit: added to the content update list (then removed some!) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2017 07:54 PM PDT It's like everyone forgot that there's also a campaign. If there is just 10-15 more hours of story with that same level of quality, D2 will easily be in the conversation for best game of the year. [link] [comments]  |
| With the D2 beta, I learned you can stop Hobgoblins from crouching. Posted: 26 Jul 2017 07:29 AM PDT I'm a day 1 D1 player and somehow I NEVER knew this. In the D2 beta, since enemies were taking more than one or two shots and as I was still getting used to aiming, I was shooting wildly at the Vex. I realized that shooting their red "eye" will turn them into that headless zombie running at you that you sometimes get in D1. I never really payed attention to what caused that all this time. i was always so focused on the Vex's crit spot. I realized that you can stop the Hobgoblins from doing their little heat crouch if you just shoot their red eye first. I went back and tried it in D1 and it worked! I could have spent the last three years avoiding that pause in shooting Hobgoblins... [link] [comments]  |
| This Weeks Nightfall is Probably the Most Fun You'll Have with Voidwalker Posted: 26 Jul 2017 09:05 AM PDT Void burn, daybreak, and small arms? This week's nightfall is set to be one of the best, especially if you like playing with Voidwalkers. Basically unlimited grenades, nova bomb spam, and taking the void primaries out for a spin is super exciting. I feel like the weekly reset thread is lost in all the beta hype, but now that the beta is done, I wanted to make people aware of the goldmine of fun in this week's Nightfall. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2017 11:35 PM PDT Since we now have an ingame directory, maybe we can get something similar to Assassin's Creed, WatchDogs, Saints Row, The Division, etc etc. I'd like to be able to see how many Patrol objectives we have completed on the planet. I didn't see anything in the IGN video that suggests anything like this, but it would be a fine QoL addition to the sequel. This is assuming, of course, these things dissapear from the directory once completed. Edit: Obligatory HI MOM! Also, I was kind of clouded when making this post. I was going for something like 3/? lost Sectors or 6/? Adventures, with the total count appearing after they have all been found. Thanks u/Donosaur for filling the void in my head! Adventures do not dissapear from the Directory. Hopefully they fill in the bubble. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2017 10:02 PM PDT I feel like, now that I'm not constantly facing an opposing barrage of enemy one shots, my overall performance has approved. My scores are better and I'm noticing I'm less angry when I die because it's an actual fight between myself and the opposing players, not me vs. storms of grenades, supers, shotguns and snipers. Anyone else feel this way or am I alone? [link] [comments]  |
| Ghaul Asks Where The Guardians Trained Posted: 25 Jul 2017 05:50 PM PDT |
| The new Kill tracker ghost Trailer shows a new rocket launcher Posted: 26 Jul 2017 11:35 AM PDT Its gold and looks kind of the same shape as a Gjallarhorn Have a look at the whole video here Edit: at 0:15 is this a new PVP map or something we have seen already? Edit 2: I'm definitely not suggesting it is a Gjallarhorn BTW, just the first thing I thought of when I saw the shape and colour. [link] [comments]  |
| The Lootbox Problem: What Needs Changing in D2 Posted: 26 Jul 2017 06:43 AM PDT TL;DR - I'm not opposed to another microtransaction store in D2, I just want the ability to grind for what that store offers. I am much more apt to pay for boxes if I don't feel forced into doing so.
Right now, the community seems to be in an "All feedback is valuable" mindset. Given that, its time to talk loot boxes again to make a record of how the community feels leading up to release.
I'll state my position clearly: I'm not opposed to microtransactions, I'm opposed to feeling forced into them. A common argument is that no one is forced into them since what they offer is either purely aesthetic or doesn't impact gameplay in any meaningful sense. The problem with this is that a main draw of this game is in fact its customization. At any given moment, you can choose how you approach a situation by changing any number of aspects of your load out. While how you look does not play a direct factor in these gameplay decisions (no matter how much hunters insist it), that mindset of total character control obviously bleeds over into both how you look and your options for social interaction.
The point where I feel forced to buy into boxes is when there is a hard cap on how many I can earn in a given week. This creates a few situations that cause me to be bitter with the system as a whole due to how it dictates my time with the game.
Since it can never be avoided when loot boxes are the topic, lets look at Overwatch. The system for them is to award boxes either by filling your experience bar or by playing specifically marked events. This gives people a true choice since they get a chance at rewards just by playing the game in any way they choose. I've spent a fair amount of money on Overwatch boxes solely because I was able to grind event boxes on my schedule and maximize the rewards I could get on my own. I always felt like I had a measure of control, even if the RNG on the boxes themselves was low enough to account for that feeling.
I truly believe that the right way to do loot box microtransactions is to give the playerbase the ability to grind boxes. Make them a reward for enjoying the game and putting time into it rather than a means to funnel us into activities and direct us to the store. A night of raiding with no upgrades can still feel like a massive victory if the box you got midway through and waited to open has the ghost skin you've been hunting.
Thanks for reading, let me know what you all think. [link] [comments]  |
| Armsday Rolls, week 99 [2017-07-26] Posted: 26 Jul 2017 06:40 AM PDT Welcome to Armsday, week 99. This post is a compilation of all the weapon rolls. I want to hear what you think are the best choices, post in the comments. Here's a list of the available rolls this week. If you ordered ones I didn't please post the rolls in the comments and I'll add them. Useful Links:
New to Armsday? For those new to Armsday, here's the basics: Each week you can order a number of weapons from the gunsmith, equal to your gunsmith rank, up to a max of 3. You can rank up by doing the weekly weapon tests. On the Wednesday following your order, you get to choose from a number of rolls (combinations of perks) on each of the weapons you ordered. Again, this number is equal to your gunsmith rank, up to a max of 3 possible choices. If you choose not to turn in your weapon order for a roll, you can hold onto the order and you will get access to 3 new rolls every week (until you claim the weapon). The orders never expire but do take up inventory space, and do count towards your max number of orders. At any given time the max number of orders you can have in your inventory is 3 per character. Below are the rolls available to those who ordered these weapons last week. Thanks for your continued support for what we do here every week, -wileykyoto For Sale This Week: These are the weapons that are available this week for order.
