Bungie's Armor Design Team...Please Look At This

Posted: 18 May 2018 07:31 AM PDT

https://imgur.com/a/s1Cuw

 

This is loot I'd grind days and days and days for. I'd take PTO from work to grind this gear. Please design like this again.

 

EDIT: This should be the basic, non-ornamented, versions of future Raid armor. Design team, don't be afraid to make unique, sci-fi gear. We're unkillable zombies brought back by an alien machine -- not Call of Duty. Give us unbelievable gear that is just not even fathomable of being created in today's world.

 

I'm sure any Cosplayer can replicate any Destiny 2 gear set. I'd like to see a Cosplayer replicate having two Vex legs.

 

EDIT 2: Here's some cool concepts

 

EDIT 3: My favorite looks

 

EDIT 4: Guardians...I'm beyond privileged to be on the front page today. Bungie, simply acknowledge this post so we know you hear us on the armor issue; we can then put this issue to rest. Please, Bungie.

Please bring back Armor Perks!

Posted: 18 May 2018 02:56 AM PDT

Bring back health regeneration on an orb pickup!!

Bring back our faster melee speed, our increase grenade throw distance, and our speed increase on respawn!

Theres so much you could do with armor.

We want quality Bungie! Sure it's nice to look good, but it's more nice to have useful armor. Not just this infusion fuel crap.

Give us some new perks too. Maybe some elemental damage reduction perks. Not just one element, but two, or maybe all 3. Make that triple reduction perk rare to get, give us that armor grind.

I'm sure you guys can come up with some awesome things for our armor. Dont be scared to think outside of the box!

I miss finding some new armor to see if it had the perfect perks. Give us stuff to reroll armor, just like how the Wrath of the Machine raid was. I played that a lot just to get the items to reroll my raid armor to get perfect stats.

I miss this grind! Not the light level grind!

EDIT: Wow, I fell alseep (as I work overnights) and this exploded! Thank you everyone! I really hope this will help bring it to Bungies attention.

IF MASS SHADER DELETION IS SO HARD TO DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO SELL THEM BACK TO VENDORS...JUST LIKE TOKENS!

Posted: 18 May 2018 03:52 AM PDT

Doing this would give glimmer back and maybe help us rank up very slightly...also give us the option to purchase every shader in the game from vendors...

EDIT: Wanted to thank whoever gave me gold on this post...its my first gold and my first post to reach the front page. Thanks to all for the upvotes and responses. I hope this sparks more dialogue and a response from Bungie regarding this issue.

Can't we just have a "upgrade shader" system when once you get a stack of 99 it becomes permanent?

Posted: 18 May 2018 02:49 AM PDT

Title. If you want, you use it as a consumable, if not you can grind (or pay evil Tess) and get 99(or something similar) to make it permanent. This means more slots or a kiosk, but I don't think is a bad idea

EDIT : I'm not against the D1 shaders system, but now you all should know we won't see that implemented in D2 because Bungo clearly don't, so I think something like this could be a good compromise :) . 99 is just a random number, the point is having a component of grind to get them

Bungie, thanks for adding markers on the map showing my fireteam members' positions!

Posted: 18 May 2018 08:12 AM PDT

Did I dream this? I don't think so. It's nice to be able to see where fireteam members are if they're in some other locale. It'd be even better if I could fast travel directly to them using these markers (as I can in other games), but this is a nice QoL change.

Bungie, please don’t leave Escalation Protocol in the dust after Season 3 is done

Posted: 18 May 2018 10:41 AM PDT

Escalation Protocol has so much potential as an endgame activity. I don't ask for much, but maybe some new weapons or a new armor set or even maybe cosmetics would do the trick for me. I only ask that this activity gets expanded in some way.

destinymedals.com, a free web app I made for crucible match history and medals earned in each match.

Posted: 18 May 2018 07:22 AM PDT

Visit Destiny Medals

  • I was tired of not being able to see my medals I earned in PVP/crucible so I decided to build a web app that could display them.
  • Destiny Medals displays your most recent 10 (was 30 but I'm running into some issues) matches with your performance, swipe on the report or click "Post Game Report" to see the scoreboard from that match.
  • Designed to be fast, minimal, and mobile friendly. Built with react, the whole thing is open source on github.
  • There may be minor bugs with medals, they aren't officially in the API completely (missing images, descriptions etc). Some members of the Destiny API Discussion Discord put together a unofficial list.

It finally got to the point where the site was ready to share with all of you in the community! Feels good to give back to a community which produces all sorts of great content.

I'm also not a huge fan of incredibly detailed pvp stat sites (great for others, just not what I was looking for) as I just want to look at previous matches on my phone or in browser between matches.

Please use the app, its free and doesn't collect any data from you! Let me know what you think!

Bonus: Ghost I made in code

Can we have an emblem tracking how many pots we’ve broken on the Leviathan?

Calus' Potter is litterally the busiest person on the Leviathan.

If You Are 385: Support Vendorengrams

Posted: 18 May 2018 09:11 AM PDT

https://vendorengrams.xyz/
Is a service that allows you to share when vendors have max level gear for purchase. Now that people are hitting max we can use this service again.

Blackout and AC DC Feedback Fence need to Stack!

Posted: 18 May 2018 03:21 AM PDT

When an enemy hits you with a 20X melee the Feedback fence should give off a 20X normal Blast!

I wan't to see my Titan Bros channel their inner cursed thrall!

Where is subclass tuning on the development roadmap?

Posted: 18 May 2018 06:54 AM PDT

While the methods of obtaining loot, overall balance, and QoL changes are important to the health of the game, I can't remember a single time when I used the sunspot tree for my hammer Titan when I wasn't forced to by a daily challenge. This is the same for the multi-shot tether, as well the ward of dawn tree. These things should be addressed by bungie at some point, because while using some of these trees may be fun, they aren't nearly as competitive as their counterparts IMO. Ward of dawn can see some use in crucible with the overshield melee ability and the health regen, but overall, playing the double shield throw is the better, more consistent option.

Besides the balance of each subclass tree, when will they be fleshed out like they were in D1? I understand that most perks in a tree are geared towards a specific playstyle, but that shouldn't limit the players options. In general, I feel that most of the subclasses in D2 should be given a look at by the devs at some point before the September update. What are your thoughts?

Edit: I realize bungie never spoke about subclass tuning at any point, but I'm suggesting that it needs to be addressed, it needs to be in the roadmap

No Gun - Spire of Stars Boss - 2 Phase

Posted: 18 May 2018 09:46 AM PDT

Video

Strategy:

  • 6 Hammer Titans

  • Exotic Gauntlets - Wormgod Caress

  • Punch literally everything, and go through the phases of the fight

  • Before DPS, switch gauntlets to raid gauntlets with Striking Hand (20% extra damage after melee kill)

  • Melting point the boss, then all 6 players throw a grenade and hammers, and then end with a grenade (raid helmet gives the grenade back after super)

  • Throw the final stand bombs together, so we don't need to worry about extra damage

Raid Team: Gigz Gladd Indica Eon Trem Carolina

Edit: Fixed text spacing

Can we get the Ruin Wings back?

Posted: 18 May 2018 09:41 AM PDT

Since we are bringing back exotics from D1, can Titans get back the Ruin Wings? It was one of my favorite PvE exotics and I feel like it makes even more sense in D2 with how the Power Ammo economy is.

Additionally, can we get Armor Perks that increase Power Ammo drops similar to the perks from D1 Wrath of the Machine Armor Perks while we're at it?

You want end game content? Do Thaviks Heroic with two people and Blackout on.

Posted: 18 May 2018 05:20 AM PDT

I was in the Thaviks Heroic strike (the one you all hate because he disappears) for an hour and a half last night. An hour... And a f'ing... Half. I wasn't underleveled. Right at 353 light.

I went through 6 guardians. The original 2 left. The 2 Replacements left. The final 2 stayed.

It basically went like this: Thaviks shows upTry to keep all the invisibility shit dead before you get melee'dTractor cannon Thaviks when he gets closeSticky nade him and superDie because something melees you and you can't jump away.

The fight isn't hard because the boss disappears... it's hard because those stupid f'ing shanks lock you to the ground. So while you're dodging bullets, trying to get the laughably low amount of heavy ammo (thanks for no synth Bungie!) spread around and not get melee'd by these little invis assholes you have enemies with no crit spot just hanging out making your life miserable.

What ended up happening, and why we two manned it, was because the 3rd guy who spawned in got locked up top so the random and I figured out he could just stay up there and dance and we can revive every 30 seconds without penalty. Now we didn't die a lot but man that helped and we eventually won with a tractor cannon+sentinel combo. The salt in the wound? Garbo tier rewards. I gotta do this 2 more times for the milestone and 3 more times for the quest? Go. F. Yourself. Bungie. You have to had played your own game... right? You know this progression and reward system doesn't work.... right? If I have to do what amounts to a raid encounter for strike rewards that get auto-deleted there is a problem.

TL;DR

Pro tip for Thaviks: Keep a guy up top in the boss fight and just two man it... Or back out of the quest when you get it with Blackout on.

-edit-

Apparently a lot of people were either in my fight last night or one just like it... lol. I'm on Xbox btw guys

Where was Vicarious Visions this whole time?

Posted: 18 May 2018 12:00 PM PDT

Pretty much everything that's had me on my seat this DLC, was anything that had to with Vicarious Visions. Thank you guy's for really making an effort on this DLC to bring back the excitement I had for this game originally. It really has impacted my play experience and you guy's are awesome, please keep up the amazing work.

For those who were wondering what happens AFTER you get and complete your Exotic catalyst.

Posted: 18 May 2018 04:04 AM PDT

Once you start the catalyst objective, every duplicate of that exotic will share its progress with itself. (i.e. You got 50% for your DARCI catalyst, you get a new one, that DARCI also has 50%)

Once you complete the catalyst, every duplicates of that exotic will also now be a masterwork. The only thing that won't carry over from each other would be it's kill count.

A Diablo 3 Paragon Leveling system will make a lot of sense for Destiny 2...

Posted: 18 May 2018 11:17 AM PDT

For those who don't know, after hitting max level in Diablo 3, each level up thereafter rewards you with a a "Paragon point". Basically you can use these points to add VERY small stat increases to stuff like health, recovery, attack, etc...and this is all SHARED between your multiple characters.

More Info: https://us.diablo3.com/en/blog/13020718/reaper-of-souls%E2%84%A2-first-look-paragon-20-2-21-2014

In addition to getting a Prototype/Bright Engram for every level up after max level, give us one "Legend point" or "Guardian point" (whatever you wanna call it).

The bonus stats would be very minimal and will be disabled for PvP. For every point we receive, we can use it to increase stats such as: melee recharge rate, grenade recharge rate, class ability recharge rate, super recharge rate, melee attack speed, reload speed for certain weapons, attack damage with certain weapons, mobility, resilience, recovery, and more.

Small 0.20% increase for every point we put into it. There will be a cap of 5% being maxed out, but this would take a while to achieve for each stat we decide to focus on. This adds a whole new layer of customization for your play style.

This would make the game much more repayable for me personally. I just want to feel like I'm still progressing every time I level up, even if it's just a tiny bit. This is way better than just receiving a prototype engram.

Calus is a dick to Titans.

Posted: 17 May 2018 05:21 PM PDT

  • "You have truly grown fat from strength. And you are still as nimble as ever. Magnificent."
    -Hunter SoS helmet
  • "You have truly grown fat from strength. And you are still as wise as ever. Magnificent." -Warlock SoS helmet
  • "You have truly grown fat from strength. Magnificent." -Titan SoS helmet

So we punch our way through a bunch of giant rhino blobs coated in Velveeta cheese powder only to be called fat.

Fuck you too, Calus.

(EDIT) Thanks for all the attention, my dudes.

After playing Warmind, I’m just wondering how CoO wound up being so bad.

Posted: 18 May 2018 02:37 AM PDT

Warmind's Story is solid with some good boss fights. It could be better sure, but overall, I enjoyed it. Plus, Mars is really great. Compare that to CoO, which I thought was awful in all respects. Just wondering what Guardians think went wrong with CoO. I just don't understand how something could be that bad. Thanks for your insights Guardians. -I'm not trolling, just honestly curious- Thanks.

Posted: 18 May 2018 09:00 AM PDT

Title. Luke Smith taking the stage. A big fat "2." First looks at all the new planets. And the big announcements of new weapon slots, 4v4, and guided games!

So, how much has changed in one year?

If you’re worried that there aren’t lots of people running Escalation Protocols, have patience that we’ll all be really high level in the next few weeks, give us some time to catch up to you, ok?

Posted: 17 May 2018 09:46 PM PDT

I mean I have a full time job, some have school, some have busy lives, we all play destiny too. Give us some time and everybody will be practically living on Mars when we're max power. The endgame for us all is still a ways away.

how to fix escalation protocol

Posted: 18 May 2018 03:57 AM PDT

add a beacon next to the 2 mars landing zones, glacier drift and braytech futurescape. this beacon will allow individuals or fire teams to queue up to be placed in the same game world. once the beacon finds 9 people total in queue, regardless of whether they are in a fireteam or not, it places them in the same world, allowing them to start the escalation protocol.

Make vendors sell their shaders for their tokens and remove them from the engram pool.

Posted: 17 May 2018 05:12 PM PDT

Also just make shaders delete faster. I think the functionality and little bit of relief will out weigh the outrage of accidentally deleting the wrong one.

If we removed them from the loot pools though! We would have a lot less work to do getting rid of unwanted clutter.
