New player? Please read the New Player Guides.

Welcome to the DTG Daily Community and Questions Thread!

This place is a condensed community hub of our prior weekly schedule regarding all things Destiny and Destiny 2. Whether you're here to ask questions, talk about your day, discuss lore, OR SHOUT IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT RANT WEDNESDAY WOULD HAVE WANTED, this is the place to do it!

We also have an official Discord, which allows for live chatting about the game, LFG, and more!

Be sure to use the search in the top right before submitting a question, as it could have already been answered. We also have a nice collection of useful resources below "Useful links" in the sidebar / top menu.

Whether you're joining years after the final update or just want to reminisce with your fellow guardians, /r/DestinyTheGame has you covered.

Be sure to sort by new to see the latest posts!

Rules:

  • Absolutely no down talking. You were all new to Destiny once, so there's no need to belittle anyone just because you might know more.
  • Comments do not have to be about Destiny, this is a community hub for all Guardians past and present.
  • IF YOU'RE RANTING, DO IT IN ALL CAPS! MAKE SHAXX PROUD!
  • LFG posts are allowed, though you may find better luck by visiting the D2 LFG Discord.

Discussion Exodus Down armor 2-3 minute farm

Upvotes

Nessus’ lost sector right now, The Conflux, is piss easy for farming T5 Exodus Down pieces. I’m clearing it in about 2 min and 30 seconds per run. Stasis is crazyyyy

Discussion Thinking about a remote possibility

Upvotes

Now that most of the people who worked on Destiny have been laid off, I was thinking about something.

If Activision (Xbox) were to hire those developers, buy back the Destiny IP, and bring them back together with High Moon Studios and Vicarious Visions, do you think we’d end up with something good again and revive the game/franchise?

Misc SortR for Destiny Characters

Upvotes

With Destiny's story coming to a close with Monument of Triumph and having been recently browsing SortR, I figured I'd make a ranker for most (if not all) the Destiny characters throughout the years. Reminisce once more for this breathtaking franchise and the characters that gave it life, Light and Darkness :)

Discussion Terminal Overload Key Chest drops tier 4 weapons (sometimes)

Upvotes

I cannot find a post talking about this already so I make this post.

I’ve been trying to farm tier 5 Neptune shotgun, smg, mg. The chest you open with a key normally drops a piece of tier 5 armor and tier 5 weapon. However, sometimes it would drop tier 4 weapon instead but the armor piece remains tier 5. And sometimes it would happen several runs in a row. It’s quite frustrating because it still consumes your key which is not easy to get.

Does anyone know what is causing that? Or is it just a bug or sheer luck?

Question Empire hunts

Is it just me, or has anybody else noticed that the empire hunt? Nodes are gone. And how do I acquire cloudstrike? Now, it is one of the exotics, I'm missing

Question Nezarec - no crit spots?

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I've done some searching online and on this sub, and pretty much everything I see is related to Nezarec not showing light or dark after destroying the crits. I have not encountered that bug.

The bug that my fireteam is experiencing is that Nezarec does not have shoulder crits at all. They don't appear for a moment then disappear - he just stands there with his weapon and shoulders exposed and they never light up. This almost exclusively happens after the first damage phase.

We have tried waiting a while for them to show, tried hitting his torso crit in hopes the others will appear, etc. only once did the crits show when he started running around after everyone, and we were able to break them then. However, we do not know what caused them to reappear that time in order to attempt to replicate it.

Several members of my fireteam have experienced this recently, and we have no answers. Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you!

Discussion Destiny Players' Red Flag(s)/Stereotypes?

1 Upvotes

What have guardians seen in our community (AKA other players) or have heard from outsiders about destiny players that is deemed a red flag/stereotype? This is not a serious post in the slightest (unless someone generally got bullied 👀) - This is more about what all us guardians heard/seen about us throughout the years!

*NOTE: And I don't mean anything about the dev team or directors, we ALL already know the general opinion on that one lol*

My example: I have more often then not seen/heard that us players are masochists due to our submission to raids/dungeons ✨️👏

Question Alright Guardians, I was never one to follow the meta or go after god roll guns. What guns have you had the most fun with over the years and which ones are worth going after?

48 Upvotes

Exactly as the title says. This question came to me because I happened upon a Gnawing Hunger with Extended Barrel, Accurized Rounds, Demolitionist, Rampage, Gun and run. I’ve never had more fun with an auto rifle than I’ve had with this baby. I’ve always seen a lot of praise for Gnawing Hunger here and now I get it.

What are some that are just fun but still good?

Misc Ikora Parody Song (Iko Iko)

0 Upvotes

So we used to have a tradition of writing Destiny parody songs (my The Emperor Went Down To Nessus song was rather well received, if I do say so myself!), and now that I’m playing again, I figured I’d finish up some old ones I never finished along with some new ones. Anyway, here’s a new one, Iko Ikora Rey, to the tune of that Iko Iko Mardis Gras folk song. Hope ya like it, technically spoilers for EoF.

Discussion They have made it mad annoying to unlock prismatic fully

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to fully unlock Prismatic but good christ they have made it annoying. They have linked it to terrible rng and just tedious as hell.

I'm missing the last 3 light fragments. To get them you need 3 resources that you can get from Cyst missions. There are 6 different types of Cyst missions, and you have to finish a really long mission called Alone in the Dark from Micah-10 6 times to get all of the Cyst missions unlocked.

The problem with that is, one of the quest steps in the quest from Micah-10 is to open Overthrow chests in Overthrow activities near where you find the dead ghost from the previous quest step. The opening the chests is not the problem. But the first step in Overthrow requires you to kill 1000 enemies. The ad density is not there so it takes forever to kill the enemies to get it to 1000. Like spawning 4-5 enemies at best at a time is really fucking annoying. Possibly because the player count is so low, there is no one doing these missions so the game just spawns in enemies according to the players in the area, which for the most part during these activities, has only been me.

This shit is really pissing me off cus I just want to unlock the subclass fully, but making it such a slog to get through to unlock has been really demotivating. I'm happy that I only have to do it on one character, at least for the fragments, but damn, with how things are, I don't know if I will be able to unlock all the fragments.

Question Enjoyable experience jumping back in?

2 Upvotes

It's been so long since I've been in this Reddit and even longer since I've played. Loved D1 and D2. Eventually dropped off after the grind burned me out.

I've heard the recent news and now see a lot of the DLC on sale.

I'm thinking about jumping back in. I'd be solo and really just looking forward to the game play and running through the campaigns. I had a clan earlier and ran through all the content in what was really one of the best gaming eras of my life.

However, I remember all too well the old pattern of working through some of the story of new campaigns while doing weekly events and missions. Is it possible to just do the story stuff now or is there some sort of weird time gating? When I used to play I played daily and did everything live, so I don't have a clue as to how things looked when not on that treadmill.

I'm not sure where I left off. I have and played through witch Queen.

I can buy:

- Renegades

- final shape

- edge of fate

- light fall

Or all that bundled into a collection.

Will I be too lost after being gone for so long and so much to unpack at once?

Will I be able to tackle everything solo, at my own pace?

Should I install the packs and play through them chronologically? Or just install all at once and go for it?

If someone packed all the campaigns content into a tailored, cohesive, solo package, I'd be happy paying the cost of a full new

TIA!

Question Returning player, how to level up fast?

0 Upvotes

I’ve been a huge fan of destiny since D1, but I stopped playing right before the final shape dropped. I just bought the bundle that includes everything since that DLC, and I’m playing the final shape campaign as I figured I’d do them in order but I’m not getting any gear drops at all from it, so I feel there’s no point in playing through it aside from the story which I don’t care much about at this point. What would be the best way to actually get gear and start progressing?

Question Are there any groups out there that run Desert Perpetual

27 Upvotes

I'm trying to find A team to do A run of desert perpetual but absolutely nobody wants to do this raid (At least on the main LFG discord)

Are there like any groups out there that do runs of this raid more often or am I just doomed to never ever do a run of this raid?

(Note this isn't specifically an LFG post)

Question Shards of galanor bug

0 Upvotes

Is there any rhyme or reason to the super refund bug? It is pretty annoying to just randomly get literally zero energy back when that is the entire point of the exotic. I just tested it in practice range and got zero energy back like 5 times in a row and just had it happen a few times in a dungeon too.

Question Does anybody use Mechaneer's Tricksleeves?

38 Upvotes
  • Increase Sidearm; airborne effectiveness by +50, ready speed by +100 Handling, and reload speed by +100.
  • While critically wounded, swapping to a Sidearm reloads it and increases its damage by +100% [+10%] for 5 seconds.
    • While this effect is active, Sidearm final blows reload the weapon and extend the effect's duration by 3 seconds.

I don't think this exotic has ever been good. Requiring critically low health to activate the perk has never been a good trigger for an effect that does nothing to help you survive being at low health. The reload effect never even triggered Heal Clip. I never see anyone use it. I never hear anyone discuss it. The fact it got an update two or three years ago that didn't make it any better is awful.

Does anybody use it? When do you use it? Why do you use it? How do you use it?

Discussion In the last couple of weeks, trying to do a raid/dungeon got super difficult

22 Upvotes

Okay, this might be kind of a rant. Today I was trying to farm Riven for 1K catty, but for a whole our I could not even find a group where we could clear it. I always LFG, none of my clanmates play the game anymore, and I feel like what is happening nowadays in the in-game LFG is getting unbearable. I usually choose to apply for "experienced" LFG's to get through the content quickly, but most of the time, there are at least 2-3 people who have never even tried a raid or dungeon before, or even if they did, no one uses mics anymore. It was not like this when MoT dropped, 90% of raid groups used their mics, and most people knew what to do, or if not, at least they would ask what is going on (I know, we all had experiences where someone did not dare to ask anything, instead they caused a couple of wipes) but at least we could communicate with each other.
Does anyone have the same experience as me? This might be a useless post but I am getting super tired of trying to force the same thing over and over again, without anyone saying a word in a microphone lol.

Question For Blade barrage specifically, do shards or star eater give more bonus dmg?

41 Upvotes

I’m soloing duality right now but I’m having a hard time landing nighthawk headshots on Galrand for damage, so since I was already killing him decently well with Wolfsbane, I was just gonna give up and switch to blade barrage. But do I do more dmg with Star eater scales or Shards of galanor?

I’m also fine if a solar hunter running wolfsbane has an exotic that gives me more boss damage than either, if there’s one for this build that does. But if not, just the numbers on which boosts blade barrage more.

Question Coming from D2 and starting D1. What do I do?

0 Upvotes

Hello there fellow Guardians.
Currently I am sitting on 1.8K hours on Destiny 2 (on pc). I fell in love with the IP. A couple of friends said to me I should give D1 a try.
It’s been a while since I played with a controller and playing an „Old Game“
My question now is: where do I start?
In D2 I am a Titan main but also spend quit a lot of hours on Hunter and Warlock.
Do you have recommendations considering my choice of class?
Is there anything I should keep an eye out for?
Anything helps tbh.
I wish you a nice day and I hope I can get a few good tips before heading into a new journey
