| A Hold and pet chicken emote in honor of Cayde-6 Posted: 14 Aug 2018 10:11 AM PDT I don't want to lose Cayde, but since D2 came out a lot of the collectables are him with the chicken, I'll call him Clucky for now.

| Posted: 14 Aug 2018 04:46 AM PDT Please for the love of god. Be patient. Me and a clan buddy decided to do a sherpa run yesterday for normal Leviathan. The 1st two guys that joined have never done yet attempted it. They saw some vids on youtube but lets be real. Apart from having a general idea it's a whole different sport. We eventually got number 5. He has done the raid once a while ago. Number 6 had some experience. Before we start don't forget that I told everybody who wants to join in the description that it is a sherpa run and that we already have 3 guys who are completely (or relatively) new the raid. We started it and our 3rd sherpa seemed to be chill n patient. Perfect sherpa material at first. Gauntlet was the 1st encounter. It took some time to explain to the 2 new guys how to run and what we need to do to solve the 1st encounter. At that point I didn't know that Number 5 has done the raid only once (in 7h quite a while ago). He messed up the shooting part at first until I noticed that he has no clue (possibly because he ran on his 1st clear). So I took the time to explain him the shooting part. After 2 more tries we got to the final race for the first time. Some fell down the holes, some just went for the wrong orb. The usual stuff when you're in there for your 1st time. We had a couple tries after that with some wiping and minor mistakes. Nothing spectacular and the newbies did great and made progress. Eventually Number 6 rage quit without saying a word. Sherpa run remember? Buddy of mine with whom I did his 1st prestige the other day was on and happy to jump in. Got the gauntlet 2nd try. Dogs 1st try. Pools 2nd try. Calus a couple more until they picked up the encounter. But we one phased him at our very 1st damage phase. After all gauntlet took us well over an hour but the rest...Geez my explanations were longer than the encounters itself. Whole thing took us less than two and a half hours. The newbies did a great job, picked up the encounters (after gauntlet) very fast and we had lots of fun. TL;DR If you join a sherpa run as a "sherpa" know what you get into. The new guys will fuck up. A lot. There's a lot explaining (remember Sherpa? Not CARRY. Two different things). Oh did I mention yet that you wipe a lot? We were all at that point. Have fun. Don't ruin somebodys 1st ever raid experience by being a jerk. Otherwise get the fuck outta sherpa runs (excuse my language) Sincerely, a Guardian who likes to help people and doesn't want their experience ruined by impatient and salty guys Edit: ohhh front page.

| Posted: 14 Aug 2018 03:30 AM PDT For people who weren't around for Rise of Iron. Once levelling up Factions, Vanguard, Crucible and other vendors you had the option to pick between two or three options. Weapons, armour and chroma armour. The option to do this again in Destiny 2 would make grinding out for content more streamlined and you'd be able to pick your rewards much easily. The reason why this system worked in Destiny 1 was because the random rolls on weapons and armour that even after 20 packages you could still be trying to get that god roll fusion rifle from Future War Cult or the LDR from the Vanguard or the Palindrome and Eyasluna from Shaxx. If you get the gun you want from choosing from the three options chances are you'll be saying "This doesn't have X perk on it. I'm going to keep grinding for it" TLDR.gurr brings back a D1 feature.

| Posted: 14 Aug 2018 08:47 AM PDT You most likely know of dotted sign over Spicy Ramen shop in the Last City. It was posted two days ago by u/digitaIIy. I was kindly reminded by u/UllrHellfire that the dotted sign looks very familiar. The dot pattern in Cayde-6's Insula Thesauraria book. There are two post I made back in the day – post 1 and post 2 – if you don't know what I'm talking about or just need to refresh your memory. Since I (and many of you) spent an unhealthy amount of time researching the subject I decided to delve into this matter one more time. Back then we have tried every logical, nonlogical and even some unholy approaches which gave us nothing, nothing at all except sheer amount of fun. This is probably why the sense of unsolved mystery haunts me till this very day. There is one major update for the red dot puzzle from IT book (it's probably known already): Most of the graphics from IT book can be found allover the walls during Utopia mission on Titan. Check this album (credit goes to u/Wilco75) and compare to some images – pic 1 and pic 2 – from the book. It is even more obvious if you compare symbols on the door with the overlay of dots on different pages. This hints where Cayde-6 was born/converted into Exo, and where Deep Stone Crypt and/or Clovis Bray Exoscience might be located. The book and included cards suggest that it was one of Saturn Moons:
You might say that the description does not quite match the sea of methane. But Titan also has land, at least real Titan. On the other hand, there might be similar facilities on Europa or Enceladus. Now getting back to dots. Three signs can be found on the picture but all of them are same pattern (flipped or turned 90 degrees), so it does not matter which one to analyze. I prefer the top one. To start with I and u/UllrHellfire (mostly u/UllrHellfire) tried a lot of stuff – Morse, Baudot, Braile, Binary, Hex, Octal, Dice, Unicode etc. It gives nothing but gibberish. However, the tool are only as good as the hands holding them, so you are welcome to try. The only idea that seems reasonable is that this is some king of substitution cipher (similar to famous Dancing Man Cipher). The logic is as follows:
And the last thing about ciphers and puzzles – the sign is some sort of key to red dot cipher from IT book. I think it is hardly possible, because there are no similarities, e.g. similar characters, patterns etc. As for Spicy Ramen quest… I hope it is not just a fast food delivery from a Cabal sieged city. Exploring Cayde-6's Exo origins, his relations with Maya Sundaresh, and the meaning of his writings in IT book to know him better as a serious, deep and yet humorous character could be great farewell quest, but it won't happen.

| Bungie: Please turn the Infinite Forest into an Infinite Dungeon Posted: 13 Aug 2018 06:57 PM PDT All of the pieces already exist either in D1 or D2 to repurpose the infinite forest into a pretty great grind dungeon for people willing to do it, and if you don't want to? Don't, it doesn't have to be part of the primary Destiny storyline at all. Here is my idea: Procedurally generate sections of the forest, with locked doors to the next segment until target enemies are killed. Increase the difficulty and number of enemies as you increase the iterations of the forest you go through. Maybe 5 and then a boss, then 10 and a much harder boss, 15 and an even harder boss. Hide chests the deeper you go, have hidden caches, add extra content if you go deep enough, give us different light levels and depths of the forest your fireteam can search for. Hide story elements if you make it incredibly deep down into the forest. Hide an exotic down there and don't tell anyone, hell hide all sorts of story elements you haven't been able to fit into the main game, give me dead guardians, throw Dredgen Yor in there, make us fight a taken copy of our fireteam. That way if you're still a hardcore fan, but the content dries up, as it does from time to time, there is an area that's a mix of Court of Oryx, Escalation Protocol, Prison of Elders, and a raid, that's a good mix for a 3 person fire team. Normal and Heroic can be matchmade, Nightfall level can be LFG. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 14 Aug 2018 06:10 AM PDT I love helping people and seeing people happy but only being able to complete 2-3 runs a day is a little disappointing to me. Hearing a guaridan clap and yell with joy is music to my ears and i want to hear more of that. Once we finally do get an event the first run is usually me walking the new guardians through the maze and teaching them all the little jumps and shortcuts and teaching them proper loadouts for each boss room. Then we're able to finish it on our second run most of the time. I really wish that specific cabal event was disabled on the weekends just to make my life a little easier when it comes to helping more deserving guardians get their snipers. I also feel bad because so many people I'm helping keep telling me they don't want me to wait around just to help them with something i already i have. I always reassure them time is not an issue and I'll get it done with them no matter what. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Come Forsaken, can we please have more frequent and MINOR weapon & class balancing? Posted: 14 Aug 2018 06:25 AM PDT Basically what the title says. I'm sure there's a very good reason why Bungie doesn't update their game as frequently as many other games, but Bungie has been silent in explaining why. Maybe it's laziness, maybe it's "spaghetti code", maybe it's Maybelline, or maybe it's just how they want their game to be. But it is frustrating to go months without getting any sort of weapon balancing or class balancing, when many other big titles do so constantly. Overwatch receives lots of updates. Fortnite gets more updates in a week than a Microsoft computer when you have a project due. Hell, even the Black Ops 4 beta just got a patch update. The beta! And the best part is that all these games do so in a minor way, that doesn't completely destroy the weapon or class. Meanwhile in Destiny we'll get months of MIDA/Uriel's Gift/Striker pulse grenades. Now it seems like the only guns I see in crucible are Vigilance Wing, Graviton Lance, Antiope-D and the only class you see are Arcstriders that are seemingly invincible. It's no shock that this is the "meta", and it's not even that any of those things are OP, but their ease of use and effectiveness at killing is too great compared to everything else. And when everyone uses the same exact loadouts and guns in a game of hundreds of different options... Well that is just stale. And the most frustrating part of this is when these things do finally get addressed, Vigilance will get its wings clipped, Antelope will get its balls chopped off, Graviton Lance will be shooting pebbles and Arcstriders are going to be more nerfed than a D1 Y3 Bladedancer, to the point where these options won't even be usable or even fun to use. I know we're about to get a big update, but I just know it'll be 2-3 weeks before the new "meta" arises, and those guns and classes will reign top tier for months before we get an update. My wish for Forsaken is that we get minor tweaks on "top tier" items. Examples: Reduce the amount of damage reduction an Arcstrider takes by 5-10% when in super. Reduce the range/AA of Vigilance and Graviton Lance minorly, or increase their handling, or even reduce the mag size. Give Antiope the minor range nerf it should have, so it doesn't outshoot 450 RPM auto rifles in their intended ranges. Little touches, minor adjustments. That is all. Sorry for the rant. I would just like to see more minor adjustments to make the game that we all love and play better for everyone. What are your thoughts?

| If you get Power Played in IB, the optimal strategy is to jump off the map for the next 20 seconds. Posted: 14 Aug 2018 11:43 AM PDT No point in engaging when the enemy has way more to gain in every firefight. And since there are no objectives to go for during the Power Play, it's best to just deny the enemy points. They really didn't think this new system through. In normal Control, you're forced to stay in the action to stop the Power Play, even at the risk of giving the enemy more points.

| Posted: 13 Aug 2018 05:53 PM PDT Please? EDIT: Hi front page, didn't expect to be here, I'll elaborate a bit more. Sunshot could do with a mag size increase, 10 or 12 would help the exotic weapons performance significantly, some of the discussion going on in here mentions the frequent need to reload which I need to agree wholeheartedly on, in the case of hand cannons, a few extra shots can make a great difference and considering that Whisper has raised the bar for exotic weapons in the game and that Bungie are embracing the "break the game" mentality, I don't really see a 2 or 4+ increase to capacity for Sunshot being game breaking at all. I like Sunshot as a concept, a stylish sharp solar weapon with an area of effect explosive chain mechanic, I would suggest even more to buff Sunshot, such as a small increase to damage and slightly enlarged explosion range, but I'd settle with mag size increase for now. If this exotic is meant to kill red bars and chain glorious solar explosions, give it the extra capacity to enjoy the spectacle and in some cases to get the job done. (Looking at you Cabal enemies.) EDIT 2: While I get it's not exactly fair to compare this general purpose hand cannon to a heavy slot god gun, the fact that both weapons are exotics fighting for the same exotic load out slot kind of forces you to. You understand what I mean, I only brought up the Taken Hammer because of how it has raised the power threshold but it is fine as a well earned reward. Giving Sunshot -another exotic- the mag size increase would be a very welcome addition for most of us here and a very small request.

| This Uncommon rifle from D1 is a god roll in D2 Posted: 14 Aug 2018 04:59 AM PDT This isn't one of those salty loot posts, I just saw it and thought it was funny. (Loot's being fixed in Forsaken anyway.) Here it is! The weapon we all want! It's got a high RoF and 2 hits vandals or higher. It's actually pretty fun to use as well. Vanguard vendor in D1 is selling it if you wanna grab this god roll before next week. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 14 Aug 2018 11:57 AM PDT Honestly, I've died wayyyy more times to drop pods than to Ghaul... Now that would have made for a great redux mission... [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 14 Aug 2018 11:03 AM PDT I'd imagine it would be something similar to the Alak-Hul strike, minus the dark room. Can you just imagine the terror you would feel having it barrel towards you for the first time? Something that would be cool too (although highly unlikely) is if they incorporated either a 2 person vehicle or if playing solo a npc driving one and you'd have to shoot at it as it chases you in a ring. Kind of like the Skeleton boss in the desert temple in Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. Edit: Just in case no one knows what I'm referring to skip to about 5 minutes in.

| Remember this Ogre concept art from Bungie? Posted: 13 Aug 2018 02:36 PM PDT This concept art was the first exposure I had to the world of Destiny. Little did we know that the rocket launcher the Guardian was holding, would become the most powerful and sought after item in the game. Phogoth will always be remembered.

| So I just had a Sherpa take a group of us through Spire of Stars Posted: 14 Aug 2018 01:19 AM PDT It was so amazing. This community is pretty awesome when it comes down to it. The entire experience was very pleasant and he showed so much patience for all of us. We wiped on Val probably 7-8 times before we roasted his ass. After we completed the boss, I thanked him for helping me through my first raid ever and he said "Wow you picked the hardest raid to start with." Lol Thank you, Guardian. EDIT: In case his comment was lost in the others, here it is. The Sherpa who ran us made an appearance on the post. (Viceroy3769) Hey guys idk if this thread is dead by now or what but coincidentally I was the Sherpa in this run, I love teaching first timers and letting them get their first clear is pretty rewarding. If you're on XBL feel free to shoot me a message GT: LTX Hero, virtually no requirements just be willing to learn basically and at least the recommended light , happy hunting!

Hunter: "Good luck winning after I stole your king." Titan: \Unpenetrable wall of 30 rooks** - Guardians Camping: Titan: (Building a strong and defensible campsite.) Hunter: (Scouted ahead, has 3 square miles around camp fully mapped out.) Warlock: (Struggling to identify whether a plant is the White Dragon Flower, which is perfect for tea, or the White Jade Flower, which produces a deadly poison.) - Guardians Sleeping Titan: (Following a strict sleep regimen, fast asleep, dreaming of a safe City.) Warlock: (Can't sleep. Thinking about the void.) Hunter: (Watching Warlock with feather and shaving cream prepared) "Fall asleep, damnit" [link] [comments]  |
