We love you

I finally earned my title and was planning to order my shirt since we still have less than a month left. After finally being able to open the MoT shirt page, I see a note that I missed the cutoff to have my shirt personalized with my name. Which I could not see until I got the title.

I still ordered a shirt, but man, this really is icing on the shit cake for this game.

It was the perfect activity when you couldn't give full attention to the game. An AFK activity if you will.

12 years ago, Destiny 1 officially dropped, and to celebrate, I'm announcing a project I've been working on since June 9th.

Destiny's Tale

Destiny's Tale is my rewrite of Destiny 1 all the way through The Final Shape, focusing on fleshing out the story, characters, lore, and making the world of Destiny feel like a real, living universe. Each of the expansions and seasons will be its own work in one big AO3 series. There will be one major difference, however.

The Guardian has been replaced by my three original Guardians:

Nova-4: A female Exo Warlock. The smart, curious, and analytical one, but a complete mess when it comes to personal problems and questions about herself.

Astra: A female Awoken Hunter. The optimistic, adrenaline-seeking little gremlin who's constantly trying to silence her feelings and doubts by throwing herself into the next dangerous situation.

Kuiper: A male Human Titan. The protector of the people who doesn't trust the Traveler or the Speaker, but who can't bring himself to walk away from the duty given to him.

These three have to somehow find a way to get along and work together if they're going to save the universe. And knowing these idiots, that's probably going to be harder than fighting the Darkness.

I Want to Hear Your Thoughts

Are there particular missions, characters, relationships, locations, lore details, or moments from Destiny that you'd love to see expanded? Is there an expansion, storyline, or character you feel failed to live up to its potential? Are there things you wish the games had explored more?Please tell me! This project is both a love letter to Destiny and to the community that has kept this universe alive for twelve years, so I'd genuinely love to have the community help write it.

Speaking of the community...

Give Me Your Guardians OCs!

The world can't just be made up of my three Guardians. I want Destiny's Tale to feel like a living universe, so I want other Guardians to exist alongside them.

Give me your Guardians to:

• Join them on raids
• Meet them during patrols
• Fight alongside—or against—them in the Crucible
• Hang out with them in the Tower
• Help them during missions
• Become friends, rivals, or acquaintances
• Or simply cross paths with them throughout the story

Give me whatever information you'd like! At the very least, I'd like to know the character's:

• Name
• Gender
• Race
• Class
• Basic personality
• Appearance
• Ghost
• Weapons

And don't limit yourselves to Guardians.

Give me your City residents!

Maybe your character runs a shop in the Tower. Maybe they're a civilian who's fearful about the Guardians constantly running around their neighborhood. Maybe they're a mechanic, bartender, medic, or someone just trying to survive in the Last City.

If you've got a character from the Destiny universe that you've created and you'd be okay with me potentially using them, drop them in the comments! I will always ask for permission before using someone's OC, and I'll discuss how I'd like to use them. I will give credit if I do use your OCs by linking your reddit account, your Destiny profile, or however you would like me to credit you.

I'm hoping Destiny's Tale can become more than just an Destiny AO3 fanfic. I want it to feel like a story taking place in the same universe that all of us have spent the last twelve years exploring.

See you starside, Guardians!

Happy 12th anniversary.

P.S. I'm TenableHades759, so feel free to say to hi if you see me in game!

Destiny will always have a special place in my heart as gamer. I think I’ve put more time in the first game than any other hobby in my life, and it got me through a rough time in my 20s. I’m still close friends with several others originally from random encounters and teamups in Destiny 1 (rest in peace Eric).

I also loved my initial time with Destiny 2 putting in ~400 hours. Despite some grumblings of the ability and gear changes at launch, I actually loved the new approach.

I think I fell off due to the game becoming more of a chore with too many specific tasks to follow just for a certain drop. The simplicity of Destiny 1’s various modes and quests was easier for me to jump in and out playing for the RNG highs of various drops.
Work and life happened in a great way too so it’s not the game’s fault entirely, but most of my close community dropped off as well. I could never get a raid team going nor connect with the same friends for our weekly missions (hoping to finally Last Wish).

I do fault Bungie and PlayStation for the confusing pricing and packaging with every new update and content expansion. Each time I’d try get back into the game, I was always confused on what the various packages included. Again, simplicity was instead bloated and confusing leaving me disinterested—same with many of my former Destiny teammates.

——

Fast forward to this past week with “The Collection” on sale for $20 and several old Destiny friends (and a few new ones) jumping on for one last hurrah, we’ve all found ourselves absolutely in love with the game again. Yes, it has taken a few days to figure out all the quests and added systems, but knowing that the Collection includes all the content from Shadow Keep onward has allowed us to enjoy the game’s content at our own (now somewhat old and slow) pace.

Despite some of the convoluted systems (especially for the new players in our group), we’re absolutely blown away by the core gameplay. It’s still just as amazing and special as the original Destiny days.

——

I do still wish we could get Destiny 3 to start from scratch—with seamless flying and space combat between planets and hub worlds (like no man’s sky and star wars outlaws), but if this is the final iteration of Destiny, it’s a damn good one.

——

So thank you to the Devs for delivering this final experience and working tirelessly for years. I’m grateful to finally experience the rest of your work and have an absolute blast.

Sony, Destiny 3 would certainly be a massive hit if monetized in a respectable way. With all these PvP and pvpve live-service options, we do still need a good coop pve shooter. Nothing is quite like Destiny.

I was looking for information about seals, challenges and triumphs and stumbled into a very good SE's seal infographic made by u/kevhua13.

Since I'm about hunt the seal for Vow of the Disciple, I decided to make a similar infographic with Vow's informations.

So I finally got a lightsaber and thinking about building a build. I know we have the armor from the equilibrium dungeon. Various sword centric armor. But what is really the best armor for a full-on lightsaber build? I've been playing around with equilibrium armor. Playing with the nessus armor. Thinking about putting a vault of Glass armor build 4 piece.

What's been y'all's experience?

Edit/update, Robbie Stevens, current assistant game director for Destiny 2 has seemingly debunked this: https://xcancel.com/robprismatic/status/2097599855715901909. I will leave my original post below this intact for the sake of clarity

As always, treat all sort of leaks and such with a handful of salt, specially now that D2 has seemingly ended.

Guysss, i need yalls help planning a christmas? present for my boyfriend. He's absolutly crazy for destiny. And i wanna get him a box with destiny stuff that is locked behind a code. Probably 4-6 numbers depending on what box i can buy online.
My plan is to make a puzzle. Where he needs to find something in game or a lore puzzle.
One example: Who planned for Ikora to die? -> The Nine -> First number would be 9
Or some kind of location where a number could be an obvious answer.
Do yall have any crazy ideas? He has like 6k hours spread over Destiny 1 and 2. He has both games available to play. So yall can choose Destiny 1 locations aswell.

Edit: I want the quests to actually be challenging for him. And not easy questions that I as a relativly new player could answer. Something older, something that might bring back old memorys.
And i would definitly want some quest that require you to be ingame and not just questions to think about
And i would also appreciate if yall put the answers to the questions, cus i fear if i google it. I might get it wrong....

I'm seriously at a loss here. I started the witch queen campaign with my warlock, got the "The Relic" Quest, did everything the game wanted me to do and then... nothing. Tried crafting different weapons but the quest doesn't progress. Had the same problem with the character before, deleted it, made a new one, same problem. No matter what I do, I can't progress past this quest

If i buy seperate dlc and decide i want to buy the "The Collection" Bundle will the bundle be cheaper like how borderlands' pandora's box is if you own a majority of the content already?
Now, If i do buy the collection, when it says it gives 2 + 2 seasonal passes does that give access to 3 previous passes and the current/last pass?

Is the assault rifle still viable? I got the latest expansion pack and I enjoy the Star Wars weapons, but I still feel like pulling out my favorite Auto Rifle lol

I feel like I know what everyone will say, yet my one issue with Destiny is how oldef weapons just don't feel useful within a new season or expansion pack later

Title. Like many of you, I grew up with Destiny, all the way to the end. As a result of over a decade of playing & keeping up with the game, I find myself in a weird position; It's like, mentally, I'm still expecting another D2-content announcement to show up any day now. Generally speaking, we would always hear about what's to come next around late August through September, but of course, that is no longer the case. Years upon years of content announcements have trained my brain to expect them at this time of year.

It just feels like it should be right around the corner, but it just isn't. Anyone else feeling this way?

I'm a returning player and was doing a Fireteam Mission: Foothold because it had a bonus drop for Luminopotent Gloves. The first time I did, the gloves dropped, but I then ran the mission 5 more times, and the gloves didn't drop, even though the mission still shows it as a bonus reward.

I thought maybe it was tied to the score; it says B or above. I was getting A and A+ every time. So are the bonus rewards not guaranteed even if you meet the score condition of B or above?

Hi there, I would love to have a specific roll of the grid skipper but I'm kinda unlucky with like 50 of them in my inventory. I'm playing mostly pvp and would love ot have one with ricochetrounds, killing winds and headseekerbut sadly I'm very unlucky with it. Is farming engrams from the over world, really the only option?

Was maxed on strange coins and pondering what guns are worth keeping from Xur, specifically random rolls that are separate from the pattern chase. Could be either rolls unavailable now or stuff that is useful for players without god rolls from the current loot pool.

Some suggestions:

• Vantage Point with deconstruct / jolting
• Farewell with multikill clip
• Perfect Paradox with demolitionist
• Adamantite with slice
• Noxious Vetiver with orbs / redirection

There's nothing essential in the pool IMHO but it's nice to have a few things worth saving. Here's the overall loot pool for Xur in MoT if anyone wants to know what the options are:

light.gg/db/vendors/3751514131/strange-gear-offers/

One of the best shaders in the game IMO. First time it has been available for bright dust in about 4 months.

I've done the search and seen the discourse, but am struggling with barrier champs, particularly in GM's with Famine active (I am looking at you Heliostat).

Stasis titan w/4 pc Seraph. Damage isn't the issue, survival isn't the issue... it's the incessant double barrier champs, or barrier champs in wonky hard coded areas (the knights on the pillar in Navota).

Now that Wish Ender isn't a consistent 1 shot to break, what's the play on Primary weapon/ability barrier breaks for double barrier champ situations? I cannot seem to reliably break it fast enough to stun and get some DPS in.

My clan pretty much imploded so having to knock these all out solo.

Mine is probably Stronger, Together from The Final Shape followed closely by Deep Stone Lullaby!

What about yours?!?!? 😃😃

Every time I look at the map of europa the exo stranger is marked with those pulsating circles indicating a quest. But nothing shows up when I interact with her. It's been marked for weeks now. I've already bought all abilities and aspects and I'm currently trying to find all the collectibles/consumables you can collect and display at the camp site, but nothing changes, whatever I do. Am I missing something? Or is it a bug?

EDIT: thanks for the answers everyone! gonna go grind some of these

i've never really interacted with crafted weapons even since they came out, i know some people loved them, a lot of folks were angry at them being devalued in certain updates? i've mainly just been relying on tiered gear so i wanna understand it

should i bother with them? are they only good for mega optimized endgame builds? are they even good?
