| Posted: 23 Dec 2017 08:14 AM PST EDIT: front page boyssssss! None of this momentum, time warp, attrition bullshit. We want modifiers that make the game fun! Bring back modifiers like.... Burns! Arc, Solar, Void. Hell, do triple burn weeks. Lightswitch! More of a bastard but changes your play style in an EFFECTIVE way (looking at you momentum) Primary, secondary, heavy burns? 100% increased damage and ammo for the selected weapon group? Maybe some new ones? Deadeye! Increased precision damage, decreased body shot damage. Please make strikes fun! EDIT!!! There are more modifiers than the NF have (they have, apart from the Timewarp stuff, a total of three or something?). Complete list of all modifiers currently in the game:

| Even if you land all your shots, Graviton Lance Does Less Damage per Burst Than Similar Pulse Rifles Posted: 23 Dec 2017 04:56 AM PST I just tested it in patrol. I took Graviton Lance and an Encore-25 (both 360 rpm) and headshotted some low level legionaries. The Graviton Lance landed 52 for the first two shots and 345 for the last powerful shot, totalling at 449 per burst. The Encore-25 landed 154 per headshot, totalling at 462 per burst. So the Lance does less damage per burst compared to any other pulse rifle in its rpm archetype... Why does this matter? Well the whole gimmick with Graviton Lance is that its DPS is terrible if you don't land your full burst, since the first two bullets do almost nothing but the third hits hard (and by the nature of pulse rifles that last bullet of the burst is the hardest to land). But you'd think if that was true, the gun would reward you with optimal damage if you do land the full burst, yet it simply does not.

| I know bungie already states that Mayhem is leaving after Dawning but I vote to keep it Posted: 23 Dec 2017 07:32 AM PST As the title suggest. I understand they already said it is leaving but I still believe it should be kept or put into rotation. This mode has made crucible really fun and made it feel like D1 crucible. I really just miss the chaos that was in D1 crucible. I don't always want to play a sweaty 4v4 match. What do you guys think?

| Posted: 23 Dec 2017 06:59 AM PST I recently went back to D1 and played my hunter. I was bouncing all of the place, shade stepping around corners, flying across the map with three jumps, and running at an incredible speed (insert Lloyd Christmas voice). I then went on my titan and did some real skating. I enjoy the fast pace movement as it makes me feel powerful flying through the map. This may also improve PvP.

| Posted: 23 Dec 2017 07:40 AM PST Generally I tend to like Datto's videos more than other Destiny YouTubers for a couple of reasons. Generally, he is far less click-baity, his delivery tends to be calmer and fact based, and he tries to present both sides of an issue. If you watched one of his recent videos in which, like the community, he got angry about the 7 bright dust situation. In this video, he clarifies that while he still thinks it sucks, he wanted to do due diligence and try to see what was going on from Bungie's side. I know Datto may not read this but I think he should know that community members like me appreciate what he is trying to do. We understand he isn't taking Bungie's side, but rather trying to show us both sides of an issue which I believe can be incredibly important in giving our feedback to a developer we have trouble communicating with.

| I think Tess made up Fenchurch just to make it seem like she has a family Posted: 23 Dec 2017 10:04 AM PST She talks about him like we're supposed to be impressed every time Fenchurch sends her a text. She reminds me of that kid who tries convincing people he's dating a Canadian model who we wouldn't know because he doesn't go to this school. Seriously. Tess, you thirsty. Nobody thinks you're cool just because you drop your uncle's name into every conversation.

| Our guardians are now mute. Tess Everis should be too Posted: 22 Dec 2017 07:50 PM PST If our guardians don't (can't?) talk anymore, can we at least never hear about Fenchurch ever again? Or why the Cabal are lucky? Let's face it, Eververse isn't going away anytime soon. I'm not that into the cosmetics since I still think there are only 3 models of ships and 2 sparrow models that get recycled with different shaders. Maybe an extra antenna. Emotes are cool (they'd be better with a wheel selector). Being able to customize each weapon and armor with a shader is cool too (a non-consumable one preferably), but I digress. Tess drives me crazy everytime I have to cleanout my post master which is pretty much everytime I login to do milestones. I am trying to manage my collection, but all I hear out of my right ear is some BS about a dude named Fenchurch. Here's my request: can we find Fenchurch's body and start an elaborate quest to discover what killed him and why someone was covering it up? It climaxes in the not-so-heart-breaking moment when your guardian confronts Tess Everis that Fenchurch has been dead a long while and she's split her ego to compensate. The confrontation merges her and the "Fenchurch" personality. Her psyche breaks. She never speaks again. Now your guardian must make the deliveries to her to keep the Eververse going as she can't bring herself to speak again or leave the tower for fear that "Fenchurch" might take over and she'll be lost forever. The end result ultimately is she never says another fricken word. If she wants to express herself, she can give a thumbs up.

| I Wish we had a Way to Turn Rare Weapons and Armor into Legendaries. Posted: 23 Dec 2017 07:01 AM PST Back in D1, there were some rare gems inside the game that I really liked and that is the same case for D2. For instance, the Armillary PSu scout rifle, Sand Wasp-3au auto rifle, Fussed Dark Mk.21 shotgun, and some of the hunter cloaks, which are all rare items, have been some of my most used in my loadout recently for PvE and PvE. I find these weapons worthy to base a grind around them to make them legendary somehow. This would just only add on to content available to players. Once the weapons are legendary, they could have a blue border around it.

| Posted: 23 Dec 2017 08:30 AM PST Pretty cool to see a community come together like that and raid Bungie's forums. Shows the power of organizing action against something and I think we might finally see some change coming in the next few months.

| Posted: 23 Dec 2017 08:58 AM PST Lawyer guardian here, I thought it would be appropriate that everyone be aware of proper snowball etiquette before kicking off the holidays.

| Daily gifts dropping without having to do the quest now? Posted: 23 Dec 2017 09:08 AM PST Both my hunter and titan just recieved a sparrow/ship, logging into my warlock to check for a third time. EDIT: Here's a clip of it happening on my warlock EDIT 2: Appears that once you done each daily quest once it will simply hand you the items instantly, cool!

| Make more of the loading screens color-neutral.

| Pretty please can Dawnblade get fixed or reworked? Posted: 23 Dec 2017 09:52 AM PST Warning, long post ahead. First off I'd like to say that the concept of Dawnblade is fine. Attunement of Sky, the ability to attack effectively while airborne (something no Warlock has ever been able to do aside from the olden days of "Blink shotgun") is really cool. Attunement of Flames on the surface of having a very long duration of Daybreak sounds cool too. (Also, in the first reveal of the subclasses, Flames Dawnblade used to be able to hover WITHOUT using an Exotic). But in execution it just hasn't worked. Let me run down the good points aka "the reasons to use them" of Stormcaller and Voidwalker and then finally Dawnblade. Voidwalker
Stormcaller
With both of these subclasses they have great Exotics to boost them. Nezerac's Sin can make them all bring the pain or support more often with the right weapon selection, Eye of Another World is a nice passive boost, then there's Dire Skull, Vesper of Radius (holy hell does this help the Arc Soul build), and so on. And then there's Dawnblade. Dawnblade
Dawnblade really needs help to stand out from the other Warlock subclasses and Sunbreaker, which feels like a more powerful and better team support option. (Rally Barricade and Hammer Strike outpaces any support Dawnblade has ever done.) Here are my suggestions.

| Bungie: Why So Many Bubble Ghost Shells? Where are the D1 Straight Line Ghosts? Posted: 23 Dec 2017 08:40 AM PST Dawning brought in a lot of new ghost shells. But they're all bubble shells. Really wide ghosts with curved lines. Where are the D1 style traditional ghost shells?

| Kill Tracker Ghost from Tess.....whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy is that even a thing!!! Posted: 23 Dec 2017 11:57 AM PST i didn't even know it was possible to get a regular vendor item outside of mods from Tess on her bright engrams. doesn't even dismantle into anything cause it's a damn vendor ghost!! seriously, it's time to exile this unwholesome snake oil merchant to the sun!

| If I get one more damn Rattler I’m gonna lose my freaking mind. Posted: 23 Dec 2017 10:00 AM PST Is there a worse gun than the rattler in this game? I'm getting real tired of having to use two sidearms and a grenade launcher because they have the highest light. Is there a better strategy out there?

| Bungie, WHEN you bring back SRL, can you make it a permanent edition to the Crucible? Posted: 22 Dec 2017 07:31 PM PST SRL is, by far, the most interesting part of Destiny's Crucible. It was a gamemode that:
BUT....These improvements have to be made:
Make Amanda Great Again:
It's just a little thought. Bringing back SRL without the use of Eververse would help get angry fans off your backs and make every cosmetic available through playing the game.
BUT. ABOVE. ALL.: Make it permanent. It's such a fantastic mode that so many players who are tired of the same, old Crucible could enjoy.
EDIT: Make SRL a Faction Rally event where people could fight on behalf of the Factions? Maybe an exotic sparrow for the winning faction with an SRL-exclusive perk, along with double XP per race?
Ideas:

| I opened 20 Dawning Engrams, here are my results (including valuation study) Posted: 23 Dec 2017 12:22 PM PST DISCLAIMER: This is not me venting or bitching, simply trying to provide the masses a few numbers to help them make a few decisions, and not mistakes. Let me start off stating I'm the jackass who posted the previous thread on valuing the Eververse. Much of what I found remains applicable, but there are many notable changes. Frankly, the last thread was convoluted and full assumptions; this felt like the cleanest way to approach sharing. My Data Table for anyone curious to farm information. Sheet 2 focuses on the 20 Dawning Engrams, whereas Sheet 1 is based on valuing Bright Engrams. Also, I realize 20 Engrams is hardly enough to prove statistical significance, but it's informative regardless. WHAT I LEARNEDThe Dawning Engram loot probabilities differ significantly from Bright Engrams. For example, while Optimacy Armor drops ~ 5% of the time, Dawning Armor drops ~ 30% of the time. I was able to complete a full set on my 17th engram. This coincides with my previous thread, which states you should expect purchasing 11 engrams with your main, and 17 with your alternates (since they cannot benefit from milestone engrams), to complete a Dawning set. Similarly, if you opt to dismantle Bright Engrams, you can expect enough Bright Dust dismantling 16 engrams for your main, and 25 for each alternate. I'm happy to see the higher drop-rate than seasonal gear, but this obviously comes at a sacrifice to other drops. Bright Engrams nearly guarantee you 3 shaders each, while Dawning engrams drop half this value. It appears you have a 50/50 chance of drawing a stack of Shaders or a Transmat effect (not both). The other drop will be guaranteed an emote, ship, ghost, etc. Another observation is the lack of Dust awards. I saw one Medium Gift, which also contained 3x shaders, in 20 engrams. This means you can expect over 3 times as many bright dust offerings in Bright Engrams than Dawning Engrams. As for comparing value, I noticed the Dawning Engrams could dismantle into significantly more dust, though this may also be in part of it being a fresh loot pool. Dawning Engrams averaged 172 dust a piece, while Season 1 Engrams averaged 154. A big reason for this significant boost in value came from drawing an exotic ship and sparrow, and medium gift of dust. Without these three outliers, you can expect 107 dust per engram, constrained between 100 and 130 dust. Because of this, I theorize Gifts of Dust may be awarded when you roll a duplicate ghost, sparrow, or ship. This would also explain why I didn't receive a Gift of Dust until my 19th roll. Many of the other drop-rates are comparable, though it would take extensive testing to fine-tune exotic rates. Not only would this require loads of data, but I believe it's linked to your exotic collection (ie, do you already own 3/4 exotic ships, or are you starting fresh?).
VALUING BUNDLESOne last analysis I would like to address is the value of purchasing 1, 3, 5, or Bundles, as there is some interesting correlation. We can assume 1 engram is worth ~154 dust and vice versa, as this is the most accurate data I know of. Using this, we can value Tess' inventory, and find that the Dawning Bundle is horribly overpriced, nearly even worse than buying a single engram. In fact, it almost feels like this was an intentional price-point, as the remainder are valued much differently. I can understand implementing this if there was a guaranteed exotic bundled, but the legendary Sparrow is hardly attractive. However, if any of you are hard-pressed to throw money at EV, the Season 2 bundle is looking pretty good.
TL;DR
