Destiny

I'm mostly excited for Igneous Hammer. I missed out on it before.

Games are better together, right? I'm new to Destiny 2 and it's my first Bungie game since Halo CE but I'm having a great time! If there are people here who wouldn't mind going on missions with a newb, I'd love to have some new friends to play with.

I'm playing a goofy hammer Solar Titan, and it's working well so far! I don't die as often as I think I should, anyway

Really cool video making use of a tool to count the actual pixels of boss health bars as opposed to relying on the damage screen at the end which can be pretty unreliable.

Feelsbadman for Titans a bit though :(

Edit:

Was true. 1000% was the dirtbag who harassed DMG and his wife, which played a role in his leaving.

Honestly screw people like this. Sets an interesting precedent for the future.

Solid video, and I know there’s a bunch more out there. Got any favorites? I have a small one I’ve enjoyed for a while: Deathbringer + Nezarec’s Sin or Battle Harmony.

Because both armor pieces proc a short window of accelerated ability or super energy generation, Deathbringer’s slow orbs are perfect for extending it. Fire it into or just above a mob, and the orbs will extend the timer as they each reach their targets.

My clan finally got around to doing a catalyst run for Touch of Malice, and even though the weapon itself is very niche, we had a blast figuring out the puzzle, repeatedly dunking on the final statue, and being rewarded with the catalyst. I’m actually motivated to use the gun now and finish the catalyst, while other catalysts that I received as random drops I often leave unfinished if I’m not interested in using the weapon.

I wish more exotic weapons had creative catalyst drops - small puzzles or short but challenging quests. Obviously it isn’t feasible to have this for all weapons, but I’m curious what others think.

If Bungie had the bandwidth for it, would you like to have challenges like we get for the the raid exotic catalysts, for all catalysts? Or do you prefer a quick and simple drop from a few rounds of a playlist activity that you were running regardless? Or something else entirely?

Destiny 2's Lore and Story from the Season of the Deep reveals to us, the nature of The Witness, The Veil and The Final Shape. In the revelatory cutscene fro...

• Spoilers * If you haven't played the weekly story with today's reset, go do it now! It's short - one lost sector.

What's everyone's thoughts on the Witness' origins?

Downtime extended by another hour starting 1:43 EDT/10:43 PDT.

Gotta wonder how much this place will grow this coming Tuesday.

It's been a bit of time. What are peoples overall thoughts about the new dungeon?

Disclaimer I only have two clears but I thought it was....mostly excellent really.

The past year has been really rough for me in terms of raid/dungeon content. Neither Spire of the Watcher or Root of Nightmares really hit for me for a variety of reasons. Went into Ghosts expecting it to be a trend that continued, but walked away super impressed.

The scale of it all was super impressive and I loved seeing a new style of environment delivered in the unique palette Destiny uses.

The mechanic itself was pretty simple, but the way they dressed it up worked pretty well.

...only real complaint about it that I have is that the first encounter drags a little bit. If it ended one cycle early it would feel a lot better IMO.

Hey this place is still pretty new!

As far as I can see, this is the only spot on the forum/link aggregator fediverse space for this game. Think the way to grow things like this is with higher effort posts, so here's my attempt at that.

Here are some links I think are extremely useful to Destiny players as well as a description of what they do/are!

https://app.destinyitemmanager.com

Players often use this to check what's new in a season. light.gg will also list items currently available from vendors like Xur and the Gunsmith. It offers an appraisal of these weapons as well, but be warned: the appraisal is based on the raw popularity of perks and often misses nuances.
