AoT T-Shirt Codes Renabled Until Aug. 31st

Posted: 04 Aug 2017 10:46 AM PDT

Put off getting my shirt without realize the codes would expire on August 1st, and ended up missing the deadline. Sent a ticket into the Bungie store and was informed that others had been unable to access the code, and were renabling codes until the end of the month. So if you unlocked your t-shirt code before August 1st and didn't get it you can now.

If only Rahool was so generous.

XUR IS SELLING SUNBREAKERS!!

Posted: 04 Aug 2017 05:38 AM PDT

Pick them up if didn't 3 years ago!!

Sorry I just genuinely miss when Xur brought insane amounts of hype and SGA posts like this were actually welcome and exciting

He's coming back for D2 right guys? Or is that not official??

Edit: Sorry I don't know how flair it [Satire] but it should be!
Edit2: Okay so this post was meant to be satire and get some chuckles but I do want to make it clear if you really don't have these bad boys you should pick them up. They are legitimately awesome in PvE

Destiny 2 will launch at MIDNIGHT for your corresponding Time Zone

Posted: 04 Aug 2017 12:39 AM PDT

Good Morning Guardians,

Happy Friday and just a small post here - This question is definitley an FAQ and one we all are most interested in from staying up late / waking up early / taking days off work

I ran a search and couldn't find a definitive 'THIS IS IT' post (Please correct me if I'm just awful at searching) so to help point to something definitive, I've posted this as confirmation of the launch and hopefully help quell a lot of the questions surrounding it

Also for all things Destiny 2 - I have and am in the process of updating - Everything Destiny 2 - to have all info in one place


2 Minutes to Midnight

Mark Noseworthy confirms a rolling Midnight launch

You will either be up all night or playing all day, either way, when the 6th hits, lets go get our light back

Reset Day as also been CONFIRMED to be a Tuesday - First reset being the 12th of September

Edit - u/reaperx321 mentioned this from previous releases. It's not 100% confirmed to happen but keep it in mind (USA users as Activision did it for CoD)

Last several releases for US customers it was based on eastern time zone. So as soon as it hits 12AM eastern it works for the rest so 11 central 10 mountain and 9 pacific. (Digital only) - UNCONFIRMED

Edit 2 - as per u/croissantandcoffee it has been brought to my attention to give a warning - If you are abroad with your HOME console and have pre-ordered in your home region, this may mean your console kicks in to play at your regular HOME release time - Unconfmed but just to be aware


The Last Word

6th is booked off, first reset day of D2 is booked off

My Bacon is ready - Have a good weekend team!

Uh Cayde, you ok buddy? Is that a, is that a Honda?

Posted: 04 Aug 2017 10:19 AM PDT

I'm not sure if Ghaul has him so shaken he gave up life as a guardian and bought a Honda or if he's just looking for a new noodle shop.

Either way he drives exactly like I assume Cayde-6 would!

Cayde's new Honda

[Farm Thought] Getting ghosted in real life sucks. Getting ghosted in Destiny means you're one of the chosen guardians that is able to channel the light of the Traveler.

It's gonna be a long month waiting for D2 content ain't it?

The single thing I'm most hyped about- All the things we know nothing about.

Posted: 04 Aug 2017 07:04 AM PDT

Talking over Destiny 2 hype items with my buddy and I realized that over all, I'm most excited by the fact that they haven't yet said anything about so much.

So far, we've seen snippets of a lot of things but we have only really seen a deep dive into:

•1 campaign mission

•1 Strike

•1 Patrol area (and I didn't watch that on purpose)

•Couple of PvP maps

•Exotic weapons

We still haven't seen detailed info on:

•3 locations

•The rest of the strikes

•The remainder of the campaign

•The raid (of course)

•Weekly rituals (nightfall, heroic strikes, heroic raid, etc.)

•The Loot and player reward system

•A bunch of PvP maps

•Any exotic armor and the effects they might have

More specifically, I look back at the dreadnaught when we first started exploring that. I was there day 1 for that with the same buddy that I'll be exploring D2 with. So many secrets, so many unknowns in just 1 location. Now we get to fully explore 4 locations, each with their own secrets. I'm so pumped to get that experience that I thought was going to be there when Vanilla destiny launched. I'll never forget exploring the moon with my fireteam only to find out that the tunnel we just spent the last 1/2 hour clearing lead to ....nothing.

My Best Tiebreaker on Shores of Time

Posted: 04 Aug 2017 10:53 AM PDT

Given D1 is coming to a close, what is one piece of advice you would give yourself when you picked up the game for the first time?

Posted: 04 Aug 2017 03:18 AM PDT

For myself it would be to not be too scared to join a group/clan and do a raid. Some of my best and fondest memories of D1 have been doing raids and wished I had gotten into it sooner.

Destiny 2 DLC Could Be As Important As The Main Game, Activision Says

Posted: 04 Aug 2017 10:26 AM PDT

Gamespot TL;DR: According to Activision's CEO the DLC in Destiny 2 will be as important as the main game, and Activision's CEO admits that there was to long gaps between content updates in Destiny 1, so they brought studios in like Vicarious Visions and High Moon Studios to help with Destiny 2

https://www.gamespot.com/amp-articles/destiny-2-dlc-could-be-as-important-as-the-main-ga/1100-6452262/

Edit: guys im sharing an article here, that I thought had some interesting points, like some outside studios helping and updates are planned to be closer together, why am I being downvoted?

The Destiny universe has lost another Guardian... My brother now rests.

Posted: 04 Aug 2017 02:04 PM PDT

Ever since we were young, my brother and I bonded over video games. Destiny was no different. He was younger than me by a few years, so naturally I was his go-to source for hype. Apparently, I went a little overboard with Destiny.

So much so, that he went out and bought the special edition white PS4 console when it came out. For his birthday last year, I got him some cool D1 artwork and a Destiny lanyard, which he loved and wore every day. When his console started having problems, I bought it from him just so he could afford to get another one and we could continue to play online together.

Recently, I got a call that he had passed away. I immediately got in my car and drove an hour in the pouring rain to his house. He was already gone. I spent the next hour or so in his room, still in shock. I looked down on the table, right next to where he was not an hour earlier, and saw the Destiny lanyard. I held it much like a soldier would hold dog tags from a fallen ally. Now, I come home every day to see his PS4 in my living room, and his lanyard on my nightstand.

Destiny brought us closer together, and I will forever be thankful to it and the community for always being there.

Fight forever, Guardians.

If there is ONE thing in Destiny you haven't done, what is it?

Posted: 04 Aug 2017 07:16 AM PDT

So I'm playing the last iron banner and get shoulder charged by this chunky ass titan and realise that even though I main a Titan, I have never once used the shoulder charge perk. Ever! In the 3 years I've been playing, and having Titan as my favorite right behind warlock.

So it's got me thinking, what have you folks known about but never actually done?

Cabal Red Legion Base

I found a picture of a red legion base on mega construx/mega bloks' website. They usually only use images from the game as backgrounds to their sets so I found this interesting. http://imgur.com/dwhmXEv
