Destiny

one for each stat!

Not a good look for Bungie or Sony. Bungie management needs to go but at this point I feel like that will lead to a full takeover by Sony who aren't any better.

EDIT: I keep getting redirected to The Root when I try to scroll on this link. I think it's an issue with the site.

EDIT 2: Another article about those who were laid off: https://kotaku.com/bungie-ceo-layoffs-locked-account-destiny-pete-parsons-1851610118

Pete Parsons is a fucking coward.

Hey guys!

For a bit more context:

I played A LOT of Destiny a couple years ago, up until the forsaken DLC (and a teeny tiny bit of the annual pass, wasn't really my cup of tea). I dropped the game hard due to bungie sunsetting content - something I entirely despise (and still do to this day). Gotta fuel my gaming addiction tho and after playing some similar games recently, I got the old itch again...

I used to be a pretty casual-PvE player, only raid I completed was the Last Wish. I enjoyed the story missions and just grinding on strikes/nightfalls, sometimes I even enjoyed gambit (shocker, I know) and just vibing in patrol and doing public events. Getting gear and exotics, upgrading them, completing bounties, etc.

Is this all still feasible at the moment? Will I miss out on epic stuff if I wait on buying the latest dlc (what I know of Prisma does sound pretty cool) or the episodes (like hell I'm gonna shell out 50€ for 3 episodes of content that could disappear in a year)?

Also, any general tips, suggestions or other insights, stuff to focus on when starting completely new characters (which is my current plan, I could import my old chars, but not sure yet).

If nothing else: what are your favorite builds? Meta and off-meta suggestions welcome, I like experimenting with stuff. :D

TL;DR: see title

Just wanted to get some friendly conversation going :)

TL;DR:

• Crucible Updates Coming in August:
  • Map weighting towards newer and more popular maps
  • Lobby balancing changes
  • Updated quitter system
  • Nerf to Threaded Specter and Swarm grenades (PVP only)
  • Trials Passage of Persistence doesn't take away wins when in a 3-stack
  • Comp Clash score to win decreased
  • Better spawn logic on Collision
  • Tribute removed from Iron Banner
  • Increased rewards for all Crucible
  • Spawns on bigger maps have been pushed closer together.
• There's a lot of detail about all the Crucible changes if you want to go read more.
• Exotic Class item Drop Rates
  • Increasing chances while in Pale Heart to a stacking bonus until a drop happens.
  • Random Pale heart chests drop rate decreased to encourage Overthrow participation. (Probably also to prevent AFK farming with Macros.)
  • Weekly challenge to Dual Destiny for a double drop per Character.
  • More tuning to come in the future. Team is aware of the negativity around farming these.
• Brave Weapon Attunement returning at Zavala

Alt: A "know the difference" meme. On the left is a sniper rifle from the videogame Destiny 2 called Cloudstrike. On the right is a Windows bluescreen labeled with Crowdstrike.

TL:DR: This TWID is all about IRL community related stuff you can participate in to get emblems and other swag. I am personally not very interested in that kind of stuff but check it out if you are as some of it looks pretty cool and goes to good causes.

Hi folks, what sorts of things have you been doing on destiny lately? What are you finding fun?

I thought the new campaign was good, but I'm increasingly finding it difficult to put time into Destiny post campaign. The gunplay is still great but ... the game has felt repetitive and little frustrations like ambiguity about how you get the new exotic class items just really are getting on my nerves. I spent probably 4 hours today redoing the same overthrow and feeling to get the wizards to spawn.

I don't mean for this to be a negative post, but yeah; what do you enjoy about Destiny the most in 2024? Anyone here having similar feelings about the game?

TL;DR:

• Episode 1: Act 2 Livestream recap
• In Episode 2 all story content will release at the beginning of each act instead of weekly.
• Two new battlegrounds available July 16th. Third one on July 23.
• New and Returning Weapons:
  • Solar Rocket Sidearm
  • Arc Two-burst Pulse
  • Perfect Paradox (the GOAT)
• New artifact perks. Very sniper heavy.
• Some balance tuning changes mentioned that are coming in early August. Only a few specifics. Probably will be covered in another article in more depth.
  • Big thing to note is that Still Hunt+Celestial is getting a 25% dmg nerf.
• Solstice Armor lookin' hot this year. More details about the event in a future TWID.
• Havok Hardware in Crucible labs next week. Mayhem but for Special and Heavy drops.
• Next collab is RecRoom but only in that game.

Super late with this post

TL;DR:

• Episode 1 Act 2 starts July 16
• Iron Banner will now be two weeks instead of one.
• Khvostov getting nerfs to recoil and ricochet rounds in PVP only.
• Red Death is getting Pulse Rifle recoil instead of AR recoil.
• Speaker's Helm is getting it's orb generation disabled in Crucible only till a more proper fix can be implemented.
  • For those who didn't play Trials the last two weeks this helmet combined with Khvostov was one of the most toxic things I've ever seen in PVP. Whole teams of warlocks throwing heal turrets every single round bouncing buffed ricochet rounds across my whole team.
• More PVP changes coming with the mid Episode patch.
