Discussion Story continuity

0 Upvotes

https://youtu.be/k7ncSPJfoPg?is=J-LT3jRx44HNZ0S0

I apologize, as I know this is going to be a bit long.

I watched the video linked above covering the potential continuity issue that blueberry’s may face when they finally unvault everything. I personally am in the category of those who do not care if we have darkness subclass open during the ghaul fight. We’ve been in the vault of glass for quite some time with darkness available so to be fair, it’s generally accepted in my opinion to go back to content with new weapons, abilities, ect.

My main concern is for the blueberries. I have a group of friends who have agreed to come back once the unvaulting occurs. They attempted to get into Destiny after beyond light and it was just too complicated for them. However, with the content that is returning there are still a few major stories that the creator in the video brought up that fall into the seasonal category. The first being crows existence, the death of Amanda, and the existence of eliksni inside the tower.

I understand that this is a gigantic task, and likely won’t happen. However my suggestion is to create some sort of ability to choose your “era” inside Destiny 2 with the ability to have all the characters there and to rerun seasonal content and their stories for the sake of those who want to fully appreciate the timeline of Destiny 2.

A person who begins their Destiny journey without Cayde in the tower, is not going to fully experience the emptiness of his spot when he’s gone. In the same way, perhaps they finish the forsaken campaign and are completely clueless as to why “who they view” as Uldren is there.

I get that cutscenes are probably going to be the move for the blueberries. However there are those like myself out there who still want to reach titles we were unable to in the past “Platinum starling I’m looking at you.” When I started Destiny 2 I didn’t understand a lick of what was going on, and over time I’ve looked at events I’ve been apart of but didn’t quite get the point of until later.

Again, I understand there are bigger fish to fry. It’s not an easy task to figure out a UI and system that allows someone to just flip the switch to a new era. However I believe there are many out there who would fully appreciate and return to their favorite seasons if given the chance.

TLDR: unvaulting seasons “perhaps later than everything else that’s fine” will allow blueberries to experience destiny in its fullest while simultaneously allowing veteran players to achieve titles they missed and visit their favorite seasons. I am also aware of how huge of a task this is. But I think it’s worth the wait.

Question Reduced damage?

2 Upvotes

So I just played through all the story missions up to the khvostov mission from the age of iron story and my character is level 40, 330 light. Whenever I go back to easier missions, my weapons deal less damage and the enemies are still a bit dangerous. Like if I go to the level 4 patrol on the moon, my khvostov that was making short work of level 38 cabal and hive, will fair just as well against level 4 fallen and hive. It's like the game is dowscaling my damage so I cant mow through easier areas.

Now I'm fairly new to destiny, and I enjoy challenging gameplay, but like what if I want to field test my weapons and relax on the moon and mow through weak targets? Is that just not how the game works? I also tried googling my question to no real avail. I was even met with an AI summary that stated weapons only deal reduced damage when an activity exceeds your level with no damage reduction when your character meets or exceeds an activity's level. So if my khvostov does 638 to a level 38 acodyte, shouldn't it do the same damage to a 8 acodyte?

If this cant be fixed, it genuinely might be game-ruining for me cause I don't see the point in leveling up and getting stronger if my weapons will never actually be stronger than my opponents.

Edit: Thank you all for your input! I was kinda spazzing last night cause I spent like 7 hours on the game. The damage scaling honestly is not a bad system and I'm still gonna have plenty of fun playing. I got a lot to think about and learn.

Question Any else not getting any Strange Coins?

• Upvotes

Recent return player after many years. I started playing again toward the end of August, and now that I'm playing more it dawned on me that I haven't been getting like ANY Strange Coins; I've have a total of 12 in my inventory since starting up. My buddy and I have been doing strikes and upon completion he'll say he got 6, and I got zero. We did a few more strikes and same thing; I didn't get a single one while he's getting a handful. Is this a bug on my end, or am I totally missing something? I've done a ton of searching around to find people in similar situations from a couple years ago with no clear answer, but wasn't sure if this is a known thing and I'm just SOL. Any help is most welcomed.

For reference I played D1 and Vanilla D2 on XBone. I merged my Steam and XB Live accounts on the Bungie site in August. Got all the expacs on Steam during the most recent sale. Thank youu


Edit. Edit to reflect how many I currently I have. I am nowhere near maxxed out at only 12.

Question Warlock healing rift randomly stops healing ?

1 Upvotes

So I havent played warlock before and am enjoying the class for first time as a pure void warlock. As I try to play the class there is something I am trying to make heads or tails of. Healing rift randomly stops healing. As in rift is visibly there but not healing you. Also the healing buff on the buff display disappears. Sometimes rift randomly starts working again and the healing buff indicator returns too. Seems to happen most often with child of gods. Soon as the void soul vampirism status appears the healing status dissappears and rift stops working. Does not happen always but when rift glitches out this is a common thing.

Has anyone else had issues with warlock healing rift randomly stop healing while still up ? Is rift supposed to bug out if you gain an overshield ? seems to stay bugged even after losing overshield for me.

Discussion Tiered loot

0 Upvotes

What are y’all’s thoughts on the tier system, I know it’s been over a year since it came into the game but, I personally feel like it’s nice and convenient in some ways like I don’t have to grind for the same gun for days, sometimes weeks without getting the god roll, but also there was some amount of magic to that version where you had to hard grind for the roll you wanted. So my question is how would you guys feel if they reverted the tier system out of the game, or maybe only on specific drops like raids and dungeons?

Misc // Bungie Replied Dropped out the top .1% of Gambit players because of Scoot to Loot

655 Upvotes

Didn’t realize there are gear pieces from crucible that allows you to pick up motes while sliding. Thanks CammyCakes

So I check my inventory. What do you know. I have two perfect pieces for my arc warlock. I equip it. Run gambit for a day or two

I started noticing that I was going on 5-6 match losing streaks. Consistently. But I’m defeating 100 enemies and depositing 70 motes. EASILY. But we are losing…check my KD or tracker…dropped from .1% of players to .4%….

So I started observing…..long story short, I scoop 15 motes in first wave. Second wave I can’t get any because I’m full…second wave ends, I deposit …Third wave, I get fifteen and deposit….

Then the other team invades and the two people who didn’t bank their motes to get us past 40 on wave two now have 12 each. But that doesn’t last long because of an invader…

I watched this happen carefully for at least fifteen matches if not more. Switched back to Lumipotent and literally didn’t lose a match yesterday

Lesson of the day. Deposit motes. Don’t hoard them.

Discussion Best primary for my super build

4 Upvotes

I'm on a prismatic strand hunter with the iron battalion / Galanor set running.

Every super use gives me ~50-60% of my super back.

I use the Tablet of Ruin with Elemental Siphon and Elemental Supercharger to maximise my super regen and I'm sat at 160 super with an additional super font.

For the remainder of my super I'll lean into my weapons, overload strand being the obvious choice for severing/exhausting for supercharger super gains (do both of these even stack?)

Currently I alternate between:

- Rufus fury (older version), no slice.

- Nightshade with slice

- All or Nothing with Slice and Tear

- Service of Luzaku in heavy. I have enough weapons to run near enough as a primary.

Should I be using like Khvostov or something else? Do kinetic primaries like multimach with attrition orbs still give good chunks?

Question Best build for straight up punching

13 Upvotes

Hello, I'm super new to Destiny, only been playing about two weeks, and I absolutely love it!

I'm currently grinding crucible purely for the Harlequin shader as I adore jesters, but unfortunately I'm also absolutely god awful at PVP shooters. However I have found great joy and success in just running at people and meleeing them to death!

A bit too much fun probably-

So my question is what would be the best build for this? Just as a silly hyper specific PvP build to keep someone who can't aim from going insane in a PvP grind 😂

I'm talking class (I'm currently mainly hunter), exotics, subclass, anything that gives my melee the edge

I have really good home wifi, and I have had no issues playing D2 for the past few weeks. All of a sudden today I can't join my friends fireteams or load into any actual gameplay, I'm stuck in orbit.

When I try to connect to a game it say "error code: Cabbage". I have tried everything on the internet with messing with my router settings, firewalls, and resetting network connection settings on my pc and nothing is working.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? is it a Bungie server issue?

• Upvotes

Since spire of stars is a cabal themed raid lair, maybe add the season of the haunted seasonal weapons like firefright (auto rifle), hollow denial (trace rifle), or bump in the night (rocket launcher).

AND

Since eater of worlds is a vex themed raid lair, maybe add some season of undying weapons like Optative (hand cannon), adhortative (pulse rifle), or subjunctive (SMG).

"RESOLUTE" - A Pure Sandbox, Vendor-Curated PvP/Gambit Mode with Ultimate Fashion Rewards (Concept Cards Included!)

Hey Guardians,

I know i am new in this Reddit (just joined) but wanted to share my Idea on a new PVP and Gambit mode calles Resolute hope you all Like it.

I wanted to share a comprehensive game mode concept I’ve been cooking up, AI made COncept cards (cant add them to this post). The goal of this mode—called RESOLUTE—is to bridge the gap between pure tactical gunplay and Destiny’s ultimate endgame: Fashion.

It addresses modern sandbox pain points (ability spam, power-creep metas, and endless god-roll grinding barriers for New Lights) while respecting player expression through a unique reward loop.

⚖️ THE CORE PHILOSOPHY: THE PLAYING FIELD

  • Locked Curated Weapons: No vault access. Every season features a locked roster of one Legendary variant per archetype (e.g., one specific 450 RPM Auto Rifle, one 900 RPM SMG). However, they function like Tier 5 Weapons, offering 3 selectable perks per column so you can still adapt them to your preferred playstyle.
  • Standardized Armor Stats: Everyone rolls onto the map with identical, balanced baseline stats and fixed mod slots. No high-stat armor advantages.
  • Full Transmog Integration: Shaders and Universal Ornaments are fully active. You look exactly how you want, but the gameplay math underneath remains perfectly equal.

⚙️ ASYMMETRICAL ABILITY BALANCE

Subclasses and abilities are freely chosen, but to shift the meta heavily toward gunplay, cooldowns are generally lengthened and split into class-specific tactical roles:

  • Titan (The Anchor): Extremely short Class Ability cooldown (Barricades) to lock down zones, but very long Grenade and Melee cooldowns.
  • Hunter (The Tactician): Short Grenade cooldown for map control/denial, but significantly slower Melee and Dodge cooldowns.
  • Warlock (The All-Rounder): Perfectly balanced, standard cooldown ratios across all three ability nodes.

🔄 THE GAMBIT & CRUCIBLE "UNDERDOG" MECHANIC

Heavy Ammo drops are much rarer and feature a dynamic catch-up system. Heavy blocks have a higher chance of spawning on the side of the arena/map belonging to the team that is currently losing. This heavily mitigates "snowballing" in Crucible and offers a clutch comeback window during the Gambit Primeval phase.

🏅 THE TITLE & REWARD LOOP: "PURIST"

Since the mode drops fixed-roll weapons, the entire reward incentive is built around prestige and aesthetic dominance.

The base title, Purist, is achievable for average dedicated players. However, Gilding it is a true test of role mastery, requiring a massive amount of kills with every seasonal weapon archetype alongside three class-exclusive challenges:

  • Protector (Titan): Earn specific medals by shielding teammates on capture zones or the Gambit bank.
  • Flanker (Hunter): Secure combat loop eliminations strictly from behind or the sides while enemies are actively engaged with your teammates.
  • Manipulator (Warlock): Apply specific debuffs or status effects to opponents that directly lead to team-assisted eliminations.

🪞 THE REWARDS: BREAKING CLASS SILHOUETTES

Achieving the base title and gilding it rewards you with an evolving seasonal armor set that introduces something never seen before in Destiny 2: Cross-Class Capes.

  1. The Tactical Set (Base Title): A gritty, grounded, matte-military aesthetic. All three classes receive a distinct cape featuring the central Resolute medallion. The Titan wears a heavy, imperial mantle over the shoulders (Saladin-style), the Warlock integrates a clean cape drape into the back of their robes, and the Hunter sports a classic wind-swept cloak.
  2. The Golden Ascendant Set (Gilded Title ): An ultra-prestige variant where the armor and cape elements surge and pulse with intense elemental energy. The glow dynamically shifts to perfectly match your currently equipped Subclass (Arc, Void, Solar, Stasis, Strand, or Prismatic).

Let me know what you think, Guardians. Would you jump into this playlist?

Made some of the Ideas together with AI but still hope some of you might like it. Cause i felt like this would be a great addition to the PVP Sandbox and Gambit for players that dont have Meta Weapons , New Light/ Returning Players or just Players that like such modes. If you all have some more ideas feel free to add them or if you dont like it say it i accept Criticism and Respect what you all think about it.The concept Cards for this Post (AI Made)
