Got to create an Ace of Spades replica for Nathan Fillion

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 07:50 AM PDT

Hey guys! It's been around a year since this project wrapped and with the Forsaken expansion recently announced I felt this was appropriate to share. I was commissioned by Bungie to create an official 1:1 replica of the Ace of Spades as a company gift for Nathan Fillion, voice actor for the Cayde-6 unit.

https://imgur.com/a/3UPIfhe

A video of it in action: https://twitter.com/ImpactProps/status/956241782622187520

I was also asked to make the Speaker's mask as a gift for voice actor Bill Nighy...

... and Commander Zavala's titan mark as a gift for VA Lance Reddick.

Each piece was housed in a custom made display case and delivered to each voice actor.

As an artist, Bungie is one of my favorite creative companies to work with, everyone at the studio is remarkably talented and their designs and assets are fabulous. I've been a fan of Destiny since the beta and Halo waaaay before that so this project feels like a great triumph, I'm thrilled I could share it with you!

FWC should try to embrace the Cyberpunk or Chroma aesthetic/design next season

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 06:32 AM PDT

I love the season 2 and 3 aesthetics & design of FWC, but I understand that many do not.

New Monarchy's armour looks like royalty, and Dead Orbit is the definition of edgelord. Future War Cult's armour should be based on Cyberpunk and Chroma - not only does it fit thematically, but it would be on par with the other two factions armour-wise.

Thoughts?

Secret message found in the Telesto Lore Tab.

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 11:59 AM PDT

So, on a hot tip, the Destiny Ghost Stories Lore Discord was put on the track of a potential secret message that had yet to be discovered in a Lore Tab from Curse of Osiris.

This afternoon, after a lot of digging and discussion, one of our team members used a shorthand decoding technique to reveal the message "CROW UNTRUSTWORTHY DESIRES POWER" hidden in the Telesto Lore Tab from CoO.

It's a pretty cool reveal and an early hint at what will be coming in Forsaken, way back in CoO. It also helps establish a better timeline for what's going on with The Reef, Prison of Elders, and Prince Uldren.

So heads up everyone, there are still secrets to be found!

Dear Bungie, can we please crit through enemy shields again?

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 07:29 AM PDT

Especially when the weapon slots open up in September and many will play energy special weapons and the new weapon shield damage system, I think it would makes sense to let us crit through the enemy shields again like it was back in destiny 1.

That way snipers or linear fusion rifles would be more viable against shields, because atm I feel like really wasting ammo, even on a matching shield, when I shoot an enemy shield with a sniper.

Just me or have enemies been pretty warpy and randomly regaining chunks of HP back after a hard hit?

Posted: 28 Jun 2018 07:57 PM PDT

Title ^

Not that rare but i'll occasionally headshot a boss with sleeper simulant for example, the boss drops hp but then suddenly regains it back as if nothing happened? Just me or is this actually happening with other people too, have not seen anyone mention this.

Enemies can also be a little warpy too sometimes, not that big of a deal, just noticeable.

I want to see Heavy ammo synthesis purchase able in Destiny 2 arms week

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 04:03 AM PDT

Make it with a 5mins cool down or lock it and not allow to consume when encounters started. So it's can't be abused.

I want to start every encounters in raids with full heavy ammo. Don't have to waste time starting the encounter to get heavy ammo drops from minions or mobs.

Destiny raid terminology:

VoG: I need cleanse

Crota's End: I'll do sword

King's Fall: Who's running?

WoTM: I'm empowered

Leviathan: I need ammo

We need a consumable that just makes Shaxx REALLY EXCITED during Crucible matches.

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 08:25 AM PDT

It would just eliminate all the calmer voice options so that every time he speaks he's shouting and freaking out.

You could call it a Shaxx Attack Medallion

I would pay Real Money for this. Just saying.

God Damnit /r/DTG. Why is it that my shitposts always go straight to the front page, and the stuff I put a lot of work into gets ignored. =P

If the Solstice of Heroes event is featured on the Leviathan, this could be the best thing Bungie has ever done

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 09:33 AM PDT

After seeing so many people theorise that the Solstice of Heroes event will feature Emperor Calus and the lore behind it, could this mean that the SoH seasonal event could feature on the Leviathan itself? To have a temporary social space where you could potentially meet Calus himself?

Landing on the Embarkment on the Leviathan, seeing other people drop in - or somewhere else on the Leviathan could be something remarkable. Not only does it give solo players a chance to engage with the raid-activities in some form but it also gives people a chance to interact with the Emperor himself?

Having the Leviathan as a temporary social space for the SoH event would be f**king incredible.

Destiny 2 Maps - Tracker Update (lowlidev)

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 05:08 AM PDT

Thanks to the new Bungie API changes, you can now sign into your account and retroactively check off which collectibles you already have!

Currently supports: Sleeper Nodes, Region Chests and Lost Sectors. More coming soon!

---

Video Demo: https://twitter.com/lowlines/status/1012666378451423233

Website: https://lowlidev.com.au/destiny/maps/mars

---

Update 2: Added support for Data Fragments (aka Latent Memory) tracking to your account.

Update 3: Changed "Data Fragments" to "Latent Memories" to match terminology used in the game. Data Fragments was kind of my in development name for it and it just stuck.

---

Note: Ghost Scannables will be added once I am to verify the data. This may take a while as there 164 scannables in the game!

Only content I would like to see more on this sub is Nightfall High Score guides, because I suck at Nightfalls

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 05:41 AM PDT

What are good load outs? Good modifiers? Basically the only thing I am missing in this game in strike catalysts and apparently Nightfall High Scores are the only way to get these punks. Are people just not running Nightfalls for high scores?

I constantly see posts about melting bosses in an instant, but they rarely explain *how* they melt the bosses. Also I would love to know just the general progression through strike strategies? Is it just group up and team shot adds (for example on Savathun's Song my teams definitely waste way too much time fighting Ogres)?

I definitely could just "get good". But... clearly people have solid strategies for these encounters and instead of reinventing the wheel it'd be nice to start somewhere. Searching for "Savathun High Score" doesn't bring back a single dedicated post!

Anybody else getting kicked to the title screen with a message about losing connection to the Destiny 2 servers?

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 09:59 AM PDT

I'm on Xbox and keep getting it. I can get to the screen where I choose a character, but instead of loading into the game it gives me a message that I've lost connection to the Destiny 2 servers. "Your permissions to access online multiplayer gameplay may have changed or your profile may have been signed in elsewhere." Nothing's changed on my console settings, so I'm wondering if this is an issue with the Destiny 2 servers, with Xbox Live, or just something with my connection (although I'm still connected to Xbox Live just fine).

Edit: Seems to be working for most folks, now.

I really want FWC to win the Faction Rally. I want it so badly I bet my clan-mate that if he could get to lvl 250 in the Faction Rally this week, I would body paint myself in the FWC colors with the Bungie Titan FWC tights...

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 12:37 PM PDT

He's at lvl 202 as of this morning. RIP my decency. Does anyone know of any...professional...body-painters in the Los Angeles area?

I found this while randomly browsing Imgur. Wouldn’t this be an awesome new Vex type?

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 09:45 AM PDT

The enemy supplies reward needs to be heavily buffed. It’s not worth it to even do them. I spend more time dodging them than anything.

Posted: 28 Jun 2018 06:11 PM PDT

Make each supply section worth 5 a piece or something

Bungie!! How you forget about SMALL ARMS? We need this modifier.

Posted: 28 Jun 2018 05:38 PM PDT

Players in chat always ask whats the modifiers for the heroic strikes to see if its heavyweight. Cause it seems like most dont do there strike milestones till that pop up.

We was talking and absolutely love if we had small arms in rotation & for a prestige nightfall modifier as well.

I mean Polaris Lance would be OP but G.Lance would be nice too. Sunshot?

Bring this back bungie.

Tips for faster token farming

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 03:41 AM PDT

Hello! Here are some tips I think everyone should know to farm tokens for faction rally easier if you dont want to wait till some other method to get them later! The first rally I got 50 rep with DO by farming titan without the full set. This time around I was lucky enough to get the full set for NM, and may RNGesus be with you because it makes this way easier (pretty much doubles your time).

  • Farm titan. Its a small zone and with the right rotation you can get 100 in 30 min with a full set.

  • Dont fast travel. It will make you lose your stacks, so get used to using your sparrow. You dont always have to accelerate, and can just push forward on your left thumbstick!

  • When picking patrols, only pick collect (pyramid symbol), kill (crosshair), or scouting (compass) patrols. Kill and collect patrols will be completed in the zone you pick them up in, while scouting patrols will take you to the next area. Scanning (ghost) and VIP (soccor ball) take too long and sometimes take you very far away.

  • If you dont see a good patrol in your area, pick anything up and abandon it. You can abandon the patrol by holding Y on the same screen you summon your sparrow. BE CAREFUL. If you do not have an active patrol it will take you to orbit instead!

  • Pick up patrols while waiting/doing a public event. Often times you'll complete both at once!

  • Never go to the last place you did a public event when fast traveling from the lost sector. In other words, after you've looted the lost sector and are choosing where to go, sometimes it may seem like there are no public events. A quick way to find the nearest one is to go to the area that hasnt had a public event last. If you just did witches coven, then fast travel to Sloan for Two Tanks. The public events rotate sectors.

-In the Lost Sector (giant ogre near witches ritual pe) just kill the Ogre (he'll spawn when you kill some adds) as fast as possible and then rush the chest. You can heal before you rush the chest if youre low, but ive never died unless I slowed down to try some fancy 360 hip fires. Ive had the fastest ttk with sleeper so far. It lets me stay at a distance and pick off the ogre without worrying about anything else. If they tick you off, kill the three acolytes right in front of you. Everything else has Stormtrooper aim when you strafe.

  • Last but not least, take a break or stretch during long periods of farming. You can really zone out during farming, and it can lead to silly mistakes and even guardian injury!(like falling off that balcony because i've been doing this too long and that ocean looks soothing)

Add some I missed!

Sleeper Node Pro-tip.

Posted: 28 Jun 2018 09:42 PM PDT

If you fill your inventory and then convert the sleeper node it will go to your mailbox. TIP: You can send as many to your mailbox as you want.

Then use DIM and pull down the one you want. This way you can either clear an area (get all the nodes close to you one at a time) or just target the nodes not on your check list. If you plan on grabbing the same node, you should first leave the area so it will respawn.

Escalation Protocol can be glitched even further. You can skip boss encounters on EVERY wave and go straight to the next wave!

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 01:00 AM PDT

PROOF: https://clips.twitch.tv/ReliableAstuteLyrebirdDAESuppy

 

I can confirm that this has happened to me and my LFG fireteam ONCE in the past by chance.

 

So this just happened AGAIN live on Gladd's stream — which completely brought to light the fact that this "glitch" can be abused to completely skip every boss encounter during waves 1-6 of Escalation Protocol with calculated timing.

 

What it is basically doing is tricking the game into thinking you failed — similarly to how we farm for EP weapons on wave 7.

 

HOW IT WORKS

 

While killing ads to complete the second last diamond to proc the boss encounter (next diamond along), there seems to be a delay to it registering the kills and completing the diamond and initializing the separate boss timer countdown. If you kill enough ads at ~5 seconds remaining it should eventually proc over to the boss encounter diamond (in the twitch clip the diamond for the boss procs at exactly 3 seconds) — at which point the timer then goes down to 0:00s. It tricks the game into thinking you failed, but at the same time the boss diamond will light up, and it moves you straight on to the next wave without any boss encounter at all. Boss encounter has its own separate timer countdown — but this timer doesn't start because it thinks you already lost.

 

TL;DR:

  • Get diamond to around 75%~ completion
  • Stack kills at ~0.05s (having enemies netted in tether w/ orpheus rig could be good)
  • Let game register kills (delayed) & then allow for last diamond to light up at ~3 seconds (boss encounter proc)
  • Let timer hit 0:00
  • Game puts you straight on to the next wave without any boss encounter because boss is meant to have its OWN separate timer countdown — but this timer doesn't start because it thinks you lost. So it treats it as a clear.

WHY IS THIS HELPFUL?

  • Speedruns (shorten waves 1-7 by 6-12mins)
  • Make 1 or 2 man EP possible through cheesing

For all those FWC Titans out there...

Posted: 28 Jun 2018 10:40 PM PDT

Sword swipes with no sword ammo still count as power weapon kills for the chest plate ornament. So feel free to go to town on those Vex with no purple bricks. Just don't try this with 5x renown, doesn't end well.

Edit: Almost 200 upvotes? Thanks everyone, hope I helped some people out! Also, the lost sector on Mercury is perfect for this, all Goblins and Harpies for the most part. Just make sure you're wearing the full set of FWC gear!

Mayhem PVE: strikes/raids/patrols?

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 06:23 AM PDT

TLDR ... I'd love to feel powerful by opening up PVE mayhem... just for fun.

Almost certainly been suggested before but with a lot of discussion around the changes to PVP playlists in addition to concerns around nightfalls being easier than heroic strikes etc I was just musing on what it would be like to have other areas of the game have mayhem. My thought came from the nightfall focus being clearly about "high scores" instead of base level difficulty (which personally I like) and I wondered what it would look like to extrapolate that idea:

I would love either a "mayhem" modifier or specific game mode that allows you to investigate other areas of the game with more space magic, likely with a score mechanism. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to double or triple strike boss health to make it challenging (maybe with a mayhem challenge card) if desired - would encourage people to experiment with different super combinations to maximize score, etc. Also I know we have some modifiers that make grenades/supers recharge faster but nothing today even touches the insanity of PVP mayhem. Even with none of this, it's really it's just satisfying to completely wreck bosses sometimes (which you can do today with tractor cannon but for some reason random teams never quite get this together).

To be clear, I'm not sure there's a good way to attach specific loot or items to this because of how tough it would likely be to balance PVE mayhem and prevent it from breaking the game entirely but suggesting it just because it would be FUN. Sometimes I just want to play without any goal or objective and use my space magic to explode stuff.

Obviously bungie has enough on their plate so I don't expect there to ever be mayhem catered raids (but it would be cool). Either way, would love doing various missions and just wrecking everything. Might solve some people's need to TRULY feel powerful once in a while.

Thowerthought: Legendary-Rarity Weapons are more Common than Common-Rarity Weapons

Posted: 28 Jun 2018 09:44 PM PDT

Just a weird thought, like a "common" weapon isn't even a common weapon because you use them for like the first 5 levels of your character's progression and then it's all Uncommon Greens and Rare Blues until you get Legendary Purples and Exotic Yellows at level 10. Once you hit level 20 you don't even see Common or Uncommon Rarities anymore from engrams and while you can get an Uncommon Weapon from Hawthorne we don't even see Common Weapons unless you restart/began a new character.

This isn't a bad thing, just an odd thought lol.

Also, I would love to see us building certain common or rare weapons into legendary weapons and even Exotics, much like how we forged Necrochasm in D1 or even the Polaris Lance in D2.

EDIT: Thanks for the love and the front page people. Why did I write this?

When I think Legendary and Exotic, I think of quality and rarity. It's nice that we can have access to Legendary Weapons but I think it would be better if we could properly build our weapons into Legendaries from Rares instead of just being given Legendaries - more grind, more reward, more reason, more personalized possibly? I like the system we have now, but I just want more personalization of my weapon I guess.
