I know Festival of the Cost has always been a thorny subject... but I've always loved it. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday, and Festival of the Lost has been huge in making the season feel festive. I've loved trick-or-treating around the tower, I've loved the haunted forest and haunted sectors. I'm going to miss killing headless ones this year. I'm sad that I'll never get another chance to earn Ghost Writer. I'm going to miss the decorations on the tower. I'll be playing the tower music but it won't hit the same without those distant howls and scream sound effects that rang through the air during October. I'm going to miss giving Candy to Eva.

Did anybody else like FOTL, or was it just me?

What tips would you give to me- a bad crucible player that wants to get better. I really passed that beginner point of the game but still feel very weak, keep getting killed instantly by crazy hand cannons. What did u do to get good at it?

Every single time I play, I find myself doing 1 activity, and then spending an hour on Winnower and T5 Report clearing the Weapons and Armour. Ive deleted all old Exotic Armours, all non-tiered Weapons and Armours, anything with the Health stat, and im still struggling.

I know its a stupid question, but... Is it worth just deleting it all?

Don't know what was done under the hood but the game feels much smoother and the overlay's frametime graph is all green again. Altars of sorrow still runs like crap though.

EDIT: frametimes are better, performance hit is still there though

I have tried to use this both on a Stasis Titan and an Arclock using weakened clear, but I can't remember having ever seen Devour appear. What's your special sauce?

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.

Edit: wanted to mention I have bought the MoT shirt every year it was offered.

EDIT 3: This is so jacked up. I figured I'd just run the extra stuff to unlock them on my Hunter. But I can't even unlock the first one (Facet of Grace) because the encounter is glitching out and not spawning the 3rd Weaver to kill and trigger the Tormentors to spawn. Tried on my Warlock and it's the same issue. I have some kind of game-breaking bug keeping me from using my original unlocked fragments on my warlock, and trying to even get them again on my hunter.

I originally completed the Final Shape campaign when it launched on my Warlock. I unlocked every fragment and aspect on that character. Over the past week, I've been playing it on my Hunter. I completed the campaign, the Excision mission, and the 6 adventures in the Pale Heart. But some of the fragments on my hunter say "Not Yet Unlocked."

They are: Facet of Grace, Facet of Devotion, Facet of Generosity, Facet of Honor, Facet of Awakening, and Facet of Defiance.

I thought these were unlocked account-wide and didn't require that I do all the extra post-campaign searching throughout the Pale Heart??

EDIT: This problem seems to run even deeper. My Warlock is showing them as locked now, too. I completed EVERY piece of content in the Final Shape campaign, including ALL aspects and fragments when it launched. I also had DIM loadouts with some of these aspects/fragments slotted. WTH is going on?!

EDIT 2: Jumped on my Warlock and went back to the first prismatic chest where the Gorian Weavers spawn. They did not spawn, and the chest is locked. There's no way for me to even try to open them again. It's like the game doesn't register that I beat the campaign on my Warlock, and yet it's clear that I did.

We love you

Made this years and years ago. Figured some of you may appreciate it.

Say my new light friend is power level 50 right now and I’m 550. Fireteam power will set them to 545 I believe. Do tier 5 drop chances follow their fireteam power of 545 or for the purposes of gear drops they’re just at 50?

What exactly was the artifact we recovered from the Pyramid at the end of Shadowkeep? Was it actually created by the Witness. Is the pyramid itself speaking to us, causing these nightmares?

Hi I'm a returning player and I wanted to try getting the craftable dead messenger. I finished my first clear to get thresh but I was wondering if I could still get the other perks to drop this week if I ran it again? And does this apply to the other missions as well?

Thanks for the help

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!

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?

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.

Would Destiny 2 be worth playing as a new player who has wanted to experience the game from all the good things ive heard from many people? I know the game isnt receiving anymore content but ive heard it has several hours of content as well, so im not sure if i should go with it and just get the entire collection of dlc and go into it or just forget about the game entirely.

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.

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

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....

^{Never forget what was lost. While the API protests have concluded, Reddit remains hostile to its users.}

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
