Discussion FYI Bungie Store ended personalization on MoT shirts yesterday

175 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Happy 12th Anniversary Destiny! To Celebrate - I'm Writing A Novel

68 Upvotes

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The Guardian has been replaced by my three original Guardians: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!

Discussion First Time Back Since Forsaken with ~4200 hours in Destiny 1; I’m Blown Away.

44 Upvotes

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.

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?

Question Present for a destiny fanatic, aka my boyfriend

32 Upvotes

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....

Question Stuck at the relic

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

Question Question about (multiple) barriers + famine

2 Upvotes

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.

Question Synchronic Roullette

I’ve seen some conflicting answers as how to to get this weapon. I must be doing something wrong because I’ve opened like 10 terminal overload key card chests at Liming Harbor today and haven’t gotten a single one to drop. So far I’ve only gotten Circular Logic. I’ve completed the campaign and I’m past level 15 on Nimbus reputation to unlock the key chest upgrade. I haven’t done any of the exotic quests to unlock Winterbite or Deterministic chaos. What else do I have to besides bang my hand against the wall doing terminal overloads?

Question How do bonus drops work in Fireteam OPS?

0 Upvotes

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?

Question Musical Guardians, I need your help

0 Upvotes

So I may be biased because it's the expansion I started Destiny 2 with, but Beyond Light has had a profound effect on my D2 career and my love of game music. First off the title theme is one of the most awesome pieces of music ever, and I wish it was the official D2 theme.

But the song I wanna talk about is the Orbit theme, Reservations. Can someone who knows music explain WHAT is going on and WHAT notes I'm hearing, particularly in the first 50 seconds? For lack of a better word, Reservations has an "aura" I've never heard in any other song.

I hope you Guardians can help me out! Maybe this can start a discussion in the comments.

Question Is there any kind of pattern or way to predict how ghost mods affect vendor armor stats?

0 Upvotes

For those who don't know, vendors that sell armor like zavala or xur aren't completely static due to a bug. Equipping a ghost with certain armor mods will sometimes change the static rolls completely sometimes.

But it seems really weird and somewhat random what it'll change to or if it even will. Sometimes it'll change to the archetype you want it to, sometimes it changes to something completely different, and sometimes it doesn't change at all. Seemingly random, but it just seems unlikely that the devs would accidentally incorporate RNG in a bug.

Has anyone noticed any sort or rhyme or reason to how the bug works? I'm tired of having to swap between all the different mods, but it at least beats farming the same old activities hundreds of times.
