- Is it reasonable to ask for Hand Cannons to be fixed on console?
- Here's how I think the Character Selection should look like for Forsaken! [Dark Theme]
- With the much larger costs for gunsmith and planetary engrams, can the bulk amount of materials we turn in be set to a max of 50 instead of 10?
- Hallowfire heart with 3 grenade mods and NO super charges your grenades faster than a tier 5 Discipline guardian from D1

- What the Forsaken opening screen could look like if it was all dark:
- Gambit: How to play, Free Trial info, SGAs and a guide to Banking, Breaching, Blocking and Balling
- New Warlock boots let you float forever
- If you infuse items with the same name you only have to use glimmer.
- "Matchmaking based on player skill is still disabled in Quickplay."
- Do Anna Bray's Daily Heroic Adventure!
- Now that the ammo economy is altered in D2, ie: no guaranteed heavy on elite enemies, can Xur seek heavy and special synthesis once again?
- Just Ran a heroic wisper and didnt get one brick of heavy ammo
- The new Orpheus Rig buff makes it's so tethering high level enemies and bosses is more worth while than tethering normal enemies
- Be kind to those recently rezzed guardians. (PS4)
- I know many players like to equip a sword just to walk around in 3rd person. It'd be cool to stow/holster our equipped weapon and explore/interact with the environments in 3rd person.
- MAJOR BUG: Shadowshot + Orpheus Rig interaction.

| [D2] Xûr Megathread [2018-08-31] Posted: 31 Aug 2018 10:03 AM PDT Xûr, Agent of the Nine Description: A peddler of strange curios, Xûr's motives are not his own. He bows to his distant masters, the Nine. Location: we're searching! beep boop failed to fetch Once per account, per week, you can buy a Fated Engram for 97 Legendary Shards. It will guarantee you an exotic weapon or piece of armor for your current class that you do not own yet. What's a Xûr? Xûr, Agent of the Nine, is a strange vendor who randomly appears in a Public Sector in each of the Worlds, depending on the current Flashpoint. Xûr sells Exotic equipment and only takes Legendary Shards in exchange for them. TL;DR: He's the Santa Claus of Destiny and every weekend is Christmas. Sometimes he brings you what you want, sometimes he brings you coal. Mostly it's coal. When does Xûr visit? Xûr visits every Friday at 17:00 UTC and departs at reset.

| Posted: 31 Aug 2018 04:33 AM PDT Nothing feels better then being able to flex your coolest gear and high power in the beginning of a match. Also would be great now that power is enabled in iron banner. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Can we please have the menu, director, and map cursor move faster on console? Posted: 31 Aug 2018 06:47 AM PDT Right now it feels too sluggish and with our milestones being on destinations instead of being on a controller bumper, it takes much longer than it needs too.

| If you're wearing Ahamkara gear, you should occasionally hear whispering and chattering in-game Posted: 31 Aug 2018 06:58 AM PDT
Imagine - you hear spooky whispering here and there, not sure if it's some enemy, ambient noise in the zone, or you're going crazy. Eventually, you start to make out some of the chatter. "Show the world our teeth, o bearer mine." Freaked out, you check your inventory and see you're literally wearing bone armor made from a dragon. You unequip it, and the whispering stops. But you liked feeling powerful. You think for a second, and choose to re-equip the Ahamkara gear. "You've returned. Let us begin, o player mine." Edit: I would suggest having an option to toggle this on/off, along with the audio from Whisper. Or a volume slider in case we want it to be louder!

| Happy birthday to Dee Bradley Baker, aka Variks! Posted: 31 Aug 2018 04:57 AM PDT He's also the voice actor for many other characters such as the Gravemind in Halo and the clone troopers in Star Wars the Clone Wars. Hopefully we get to see more of his work in Forsaken! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 31 Aug 2018 09:01 AM PDT Id PSN: facexpile. I hope you read this. Thank you again, this was awesome. If you guys want i can upload the gameplay, we played smart and im proud of that. We started 3vs4 and then the other one left after we lost the first round. It's rare to have someone who doesn't quit even when the other already have. To all fellow guardians and redditors: Never quit! Fight until the end! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is it reasonable to ask for Hand Cannons to be fixed on console? Posted: 31 Aug 2018 01:13 AM PDT As stated above, I would like to have more consistent hand cannons in D2 on console. Why is bloom still in the game after all? Hand cannons are a precision type of weapon so why is it necessary to have a random mechanic that influences your accuracy?

| Posted: 31 Aug 2018 08:23 AM PDT I really don't want to smash the button to turn materials in 10 times to obtain an engram if we're going to be doing this in bulk for randomly rolled weapons once forsaken drops. Instead of turning 10 materials in at a time, can we turn perhaps 50 in instead? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 31 Aug 2018 09:16 AM PDT The Hallowfire heart is pretty insane after it's recent buff. For those of you who don't know it got changed so that it reduces your base ability cooldowns even without your super charged. What wasn't mentioned in the patch notes was that the cooldowns WITH your super charged were also buffed. But for now let's talk about grenades. With 3 solar grenade mods and the Hallowfire heart equipped with no super charged you can get your grenades back in just 23 seconds! . This is brought down to more then half of that with your super charged with the ability to get grenades back in just 11 seconds! For comparisons sake, a tier 5 guardian in D1 could get thier grenades back in 25 seconds (this was the fastest grenade cooldown possible in D1 without any special grenade energy giving perks) Not to mention the exotic effects your melee cooldowns too So overall Hallowfire heart got a pretty amazing buff (even though it was already an amazing sunbreaker exotic). While I know grenade cooldown mods will be disappearing soon, I think it's safe to say that an even more absurd cooldown will be possible with the grenade cooldown perks on year 2 armour. But for now sunbreakers, enjoy your newly buffed Hallowfire heart! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| What the Forsaken opening screen could look like if it was all dark: Posted: 30 Aug 2018 06:12 PM PDT Hey everyone! I'm a motion designer and director based in Los Angeles, and also a huge Destiny fan. I'm in the process of launching a company that will design and create title sequences for movies, games and tv series, so I decided to take it upon myself to recreate the opening screen of Forsaken with a purple color scheme in a way that I think we were all hoping it would look like. I did this in about 30-45 minutes today in order to demonstrate what it *COULD* look like, so the actual title screen doesn't have the sacred geometry motion in the background, but I tried to build something that fit the mood using some smoke and particles. Don't get me wrong, the designers and shops that Bungie hires out to work on Destiny are amazingly talented artists; I just felt that there was an oversight in what could have set the mood for Forsaken from the very opening screen. Anyway - If someone from Bungie ends up seeing this, please know that I would *love* to work on some motion design elements for Destiny. I work with a team of guys who can really take things to the next level, and I have been a fan of the Bungie brand since modding Marathon as a 9 year old. Anyway; here it is: Destiny 2: Forsaken Title Screen (Dark Color Scheme) EDIT: PS Bungie I'll make a 'real' version of this for you using the real assets if you want someone to do it. No charge, just so I can use it for my reel and sooth everyone's eyes a bit :) EDIT 2: Wow, I definitely didn't expect to receive such a large amount of positive reactions. I also received my first Reddit Gold, so thank you whoever you are - very appreciated. Lastly, I understand this is just a "pre-visualization" of what this could look like, and that it's just an idea - but ideas are how we ultimately shape and improve things. I know more goes on behind the scenes than we're aware of and I don't intend to simplify their process down to "look what I did in under an hour", I just thought it would be fun to share and assumed I'd get a few upvotes. Truly, Bungie has done a great job of making a game that brings so many of us together. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gambit: How to play, Free Trial info, SGAs and a guide to Banking, Breaching, Blocking and Balling Posted: 31 Aug 2018 04:02 AM PDT Good Morning Guardians, September 4th and Forsaken is upon us #ForCayde. Before the hunt begins, Gambit is coming for a Trial run. On Saturday, September 1st a Gambit Free Trial will be available for 24 hours for ALL owners of the Destiny 2 base game, expansions not required for this Trial. Gambit will go LIVE for all owners of Destiny 2: Forsaken come September 4th. From September 4th, ownership of Forsaken will be required to play Gambit Gambit is a brand new Game type for Destiny and looks to be every bit as refreshing to the game as it is exciting to play With the help from the chief, u/Ruley9, who has experienced Gambit first hand and broke enemy teams hearts, we'll try to cover all aspects of Gambit to get you all set to Fight, Collect, Bank and Invade. As always, If you see anything missing or worthy of an inclusion, please let me know and can add it in. FAQ section at the bottom for quick fire stuff
Gambit - What is Gambit? Gambit is a brand new game type that's a hybrid of PvP and PvE (PVP/E). Gambit is a 'Matchmade' experience so you can drop in Solo or with a team of 2/3/4 friends in a group to play. It is hosted by a Brand New NPC called 'The Drifter' (Read some lore on him, it's really interesting) Teams of four Guardians will fight off waves of enemies (PVE) who will drop 'Motes' to collect. These can be used to 'Bank' in your teams Vault causing 'Blockers' to appear on the enemy teams side (Same applies to your side also based on the enemy teams banking progress) to slow down their progress. Blockers are in the form of stronger enemy types and go up in 3 tiers dependant on how many Motes are deposited at any given time. Once enough Motes are Banked, a Portal will open for 1 Guardian from your team to 'Breach' onto the opposing teams side and attempt to throw them off by interrupting their progress or making them drop their motes by defeating them (PVP) Once enough Motes are banked (75), a Primeval (Big boss) will Spawn. At this point, the Breach will open to the enemy team who can travel across as much as they want. in order to disrupt you taking the Boss down. This is still only 1 at a time and there is a short cooldown time between them coming, leaving and returning for more disruption The first team to take down the Primeval on their 'Home' side, wins. Best of 3 rounds Hey, big spender - Banking
Break on through (To the other side) - Breaching / Invading
Bloc Party - Blocking
Got Game - Balling

| "Matchmaking based on player skill is still disabled in Quickplay." Posted: 31 Aug 2018 09:57 AM PDT https://twitter.com/BungieHelp/status/1035569084631412736?s=20 Full tweet "We deployed a fix to all matchmaking services to address the longer than usual matchmaking times in Crucible and other activities. Matchmaking based on player skill is still disabled in Quickplay. We will continue to monitor all matchmaking and update you on any further changes." A lot of people are saying SBMM is still on. Hope this clarifies the confusion. Edit - bad link, now good link. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Do Anna Bray's Daily Heroic Adventure! Posted: 31 Aug 2018 07:47 AM PDT These have a high chance of exotics dropping, and they are dropping with the new perk trees. Did it yesterday and got 2 decent rolls but on bad exotics. Totally worth your time right now. Below is the link to MesaSean's video about it. You should follow him too. He puts out almost daily stuff and isnt a totally annoying youtuber. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 31 Aug 2018 10:44 AM PDT Obviously there are ways to increase drop rates for heavy and special, like giving hand on leviathan or new random rule armor that grants an increased drop rate for both special and heavy ammo, but it would be great to be able to have the synthesis make a debut from D1 into D2 for forsaken. The random roled armor might do very well in granting more heavy, but this would be especially helpful especially in raids and strikes where doing "heavy runs" would occasionally be necessary to prepare for an encounter involving many tough enemies. It would be great for Xur to once again sell both these for legendary shards in stacks of 3, 5, or 10, potentially on a weekly rotation. There wasn't much use in the Vanilla D2 for them, but now would be the best time to introduce them back into forsaken. Edit: title - seek --> sell Edit 2: as clarification, I think the ammo economy is fine as is currently with this update:

| Just Ran a heroic wisper and didnt get one brick of heavy ammo Posted: 31 Aug 2018 10:45 AM PDT Title. also if u have done the wisper quest u know almost every major drops heavy usually. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 31 Aug 2018 03:41 AM PDT So why not make it so tether buffs power and super damage done to bosses. It's kind of a pointless buff because tethering high level enemies has no benefits [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Be kind to those recently rezzed guardians. (PS4) Posted: 31 Aug 2018 08:15 AM PDT With vanilla D2 being free on PSN, I'm seeing many level 20s or lower running around the legacy planets. I urge my fellow veteran guardians to exhibit patience with these individuals, be good stewards to the community you love, and make sure these newbs feel welcome enough to stay and maybe even invest in the expansions. Many are completely new to Destiny let alone Destiny 2. Almost none of the new arrivals know the difference between a glimmer node or injection rig vent, so be prepared to work solo to make those public events heroic. It's perfectly acceptable to respectably flex on these younglings by showing off your best armor, rarest shaders, and most powerful weapons, as long as the tea bagging and emote griefing are reserved for your close clan members or that teleporting guy in the Crucible. I haven't personally witnessed any guardians being disrespectful as I've farmed materials over the past couple days, but I'm all too familiar with the frustration one can feel when sharing a space with a newer guardian. Remember, we were all newbs at some point, even if only for a short time. Thanks for your consideration, and eyes up. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| MAJOR BUG: Shadowshot + Orpheus Rig interaction. Posted: 31 Aug 2018 05:32 AM PDT Discovered a major bug with Shadowshot + Orpheus Rig just now while doing some Flashpoints on Mars with my Hunter. I've been able to reproduce the bug four out of four times so I guess it is repeatable as much as you want to.This is more of a "Hey Bungie, fix this." rather than anything else.
You can shoot out something around 20 tethers that will lock down enemies pretty much everywhere with this. Technically, if there are enough fresh enemies to tether, you could probably keep going forever. I would record a video and post it but I don't have it set up right now.
