How do I gain access to the helm? I’ve completed the story but don’t have it as a travelable location and have completed what I think is all of the available side missions, and aren’t finding much help elsewhere about what I might be missing.

Also wondering how to complete remaining quests or whatever to unlock quest for choir of one, I see you have to finish the epilogue stuff with aida but I’ve completed the first set of missions where you free the fallen alien chick, but am not seeing any new pop ups or markers for how to continue with act 2 or 3 stuff, sorry if it’s not all correct by name it’s been a long time and there’s so much I’m trying to figure out

Don't know when this started happening, just noticed it today. Kinda funny.

So I’ve been a Destiny OG since the old days and I’m committed (for better or worse) with playing this game. There have been ups and downs but I love it and, as cheesy as it sounds, it’s gotten me through some tough times with my health.

I saw a post the other day about how it was Destiny’s worst day for amount of players online and it got me thinking….what do we want?

I’m no expert so take this with a grain of salt, but the state of the game (to me) is just … meh. After we beat the Witness, I haven’t had the same desire to play. Even though I play almost everyday, it’s become more of a game for me to mindlessly decompress before bed. I’m lucky enough to have a good fireteam and playing with friends always is more fun, but I’m just getting more and more bored.

So my question- What would Bungie need to do or give us for us to be happy?

I’m not saying that to be a jerk or attack the community, but more asking what’s next for the game? To me, the verdict is still out on Frontiers and the past couple seasons feel they have fell short. I’ve loved Onslaught but it’s starting to feel stale and I feel Tomb of Elders fell flat.

I was trying to look at what other games are doing to have success and was struggling to come up with how Destiny could be inspired by those games.

Just curious on everyone’s thoughts

As a hypothetical, if Bungie had unlimited resources and budget, what would be something they could do to take this game back to its original glory?

What is the incentive for doing expert and master lost sectors in this period of the game? When they came out in beyond light you could grind them for the new exotics but now that rahool sells the exotics wtf is even the point? They can’t add anything to make a decently challenging activity worth it?

This is awful. I log in, there's cutscenes everywhere and it starts me in a completely new mission of a different expansion than the last time I had the game on. What kind of awful design is this. Let me continue where I last was, and make it easier in the quest list to do things in chronological order. No wonder player base is dying, people can't get started because it's a total shitshow

Hey folks, my group has decided they want to try Destiny 2 so I was looking for any tips or recommendations for someone starting the game now. I’m well versed with RPG’s / MMO’s / shooters but I don’t know much about the game other than there’s a 3 class system or something?

I’m also the type of person who has a hard time just playing a game casually and I always want to be playing the “best” way. With that in mind is there anything I need to know about the progression system in this game, whatever it is?

Baked a few cookies - What else should I pursue?

25+ min just to get a strike that actually let me complete it. Had a seasonal challenge to finish and loaded up one (lake of shadows) and at the 2nd payload it soft locked us because someone left before it and as we got there someone joined (a PS player who took 3 business days to load in and make his way to where we were).

Then load into another strike, half way through and it was one of the long ass BG's (of course it was) and the miniboss wouldn't spawn.

Finally load into one I could complete (a long ass BG, because those have stupidly high weighting) and overall took me 40 minutes to do one playlist strike.

I get everyone's harping on Bungie and bugs, but at some point we need to hear something from them that isn't their typical bullshit "we hear you guys and are working to do our best to provide the best experience yadda yadda etc!" We are well beyond that stage.

I don't know how you can retain players when there are so so many of these occurrences happening on the regular. How do you even come back from this? Their backlog for bug fixes right now has to be fucking insane. I feel bad for the devs tasked to deal with this. Player complaints are only going to get worse. I'm a long time vet who has seen many lows and highs over the years lol, but this has to be the lowest. The fact it's worse than d2y1 is literally insane.

Is it the week before dawning ends or right now? How can we tell how much progress we have made?

Imagine starting a new character and you can play a singleplayer experience with folliwing acts:

Act 1: The Black Garden

Act 2: Taken King

Act 3: Red War

Act 4: Forsaken

Act 5: Shadowbringers + Beyond Light

Act 6: The Witch Queen

Act 7: Final Shape

Just use all Campaign missions, add some missions from smaller DLCs and Seasons, turn strikes and raids into singleplayer missions. Make it long, really long. Tell the whole thing chronologically.

And make it a real Looter Shooter where you can find all weapons and exotics (armor too) via drops in the missions. Have defined classes (hunter, warlock, titen) and you have to choose one light specialization (arc, solar, void) at start and one darkness spezialization later mid campaign (stasis, or the green one) and play the whole thing with that setup.

Put a price tag on that thing and call it Destiny Zero.

EDIT: Just ask yourself this: if something like that would exist, would it sell? Would it make money?

Hi all I am working on a much larger post where I am looking to address what I think are the main issues with Destiny at its current position; however, this is one of two post I am making to collect info from you all to make sure there is nothing I am missing. So please be respectful and let me know what makes you want to play Destiny. For me I haven’t enjoyed the loot chase in a while but shiny weapons and onslaught made the grind so enjoyable for me!

Stopped playing destiny after Beyond Light launch, bought the DLC but never played it. Now I see the expansions are on sale and my friends and I are considering picking up beyond light, witch queen and light fall. I've been browsing Reddit and see the game seems to be in a shit state again. But I'd like to know if the previous expansions were good or not? For like playing through the stories together and do dungeons and raids with the old squad.

• Thanks for the responses, so it seems Beyond light and Witch Queen are good. Light Fall is a piece of shit and only good for Strand😂. And dungeons cost extra...

Will still buy them simply because they are so cheap, but we were looking forward to dungeons the most and now they cost extra so I don't know how to feel about that.

I have access to the event since two days ago but not the oven to bake stuff which prevents me from doing the event quests that involve the oven. Is it hidden or do I have to follow some requirement to unlock it?

Both are terrible.

Hi All,

I took a break for 4 months, and just turned on the game last night. I was running Blast Furnace, Choir of One, and Crux Termination before.

I replaced Choir of One with Eriana's Wow last night for Barrier Champions purpose but I didn't really have fun with it. I guess I just don’t like weapons that shoot slow.

Any other suggestions? How about replacing Blast Furnace with Revision Zero? What would you then replace Eriana's with for Energy slot?

What is the highest stat Shadestalker armor anyone has seen?

I really don’t think I’ve had any drop greater than or equal to 60.

All are in the 50 range, lower typically.

Whether it’s farming with a tonic or random drops not a single piece above 60.

Anyone else able to provide examples of “higher” stat armor?

I’ve been using failsafe if going for armor. But these drops being so low… has me wondering if it is purposeful. In past seasons, were some good to farm high stat armor and others just irrelevant?

I've got a Stasis Titan Build at the moment, I'm typically running a frost armour build to keep my grenade recharge fast so I can keep getting glacial grenade out there for crystals

I have however just picked up an Icefall Mantle which seems like it will play really heavily into the build I was using.

Currently looks like this:

Stasis Subclass

• Glacial Grenade

• Tectonic Harvest

• Cryoclasm

• Fractures

• Reversal

• Torment

• Conduction

Disparity Pulse Rifle, Outlaw and Desperado (Currently holding out for Zavala's stasis Autorifle with Rimestealer and Headstone)

Energy and heavy weapon to flex for fill (Currently using Merciless to fill the catalyst)

I'm using Mantle right now but I'm yet to take it for a spin. Would Hoarfrost be better for on demand crystals?

Feel free to tear my current build to pieces if it's Cabal caca

Edit: PvE build geared at Nightfalls (I know my lane, GMs are outside my scope at the moment)

We all know the biggest issues when it comes to the story, bugs, and content. These are obviously critical for keeping the game alive, but fixes in these areas will be too late if nobody is paying attention anymore.

Many of us, myself included, feel like the outlook is too bleak to bother checking in regularly. It takes a moment of nostalgia for me to check this sub.

With that in mind, what would it take to get you intrigued about the direction Destiny is heading, even if it doesn’t get you back online? In other words, what action would show you that Bungie and Sony leadership have a bigger plan for the franchise than just letting it decay further?

While this question won’t reach most of the audience it’s intended for, there are still clearly a number of us who occasionally find ourselves briefly checking in. Realistic or not, what would get you to start checking the sub for updates more regularly?

A shake up in leadership? An improvement in staffing and resources dedicated to Destiny? A revamped roadmap? Independence from Sony? Bringing Twilight Garrison back?

Someone please help me. I really want the chatterwhite shader. I'm in the tower by the vending machine, I see the mark appearing but I don't know how to get the Packed Lunch quest. When I go to drifter he doesn't give me the option of getting it. Someone help.

I can’t be the only one who feels like the sorting options for your vault are worthless, and I doubt bungie is gonna do anything about it now, but some better system for sorting items would be nice.

Imagine you had options and filters that could be applied where you could sort by things like weapon slot>weapon type>rarity all in one easy to scan layout, I could even envision it in my mind. As it stands, sorting by most recent is kinda the best way to find where something is, but otherwise, there’s not even an option for alphabetical, it’s nice that the vault is now always accessible but I think it could be better, coming from someone who’s come back last week for the first time since pre-forsaken.

Feel free to add feedback or ideas or copium, I’m used to AAA studios neglecting things in lieu of monetization, so not surprising that there’s not more QOL stuff but it would be nice.

I've been grinding this entire act, trying to get a pugilist/jolting feedback role, but I haven't gotten one yet. Has anyone gotten this drop yet? Is it bugged, or do I have lousy RNG luck?

I am a returning player and I’ve never really understood how to build a loadout, so I’m always YouTubing using other people’s suggestions, I’m always the lowest when it comes to DPS (PVE solo player that LFG’s) I feel like I should just run what ever is meta at the time, I’m a hunter main, any meta suggestions? Tried looking in destiny updates but nothings been buffed, any help would be appreciated

Been away from the game for a minute and don't want to have to sift through YouTube so I figured I'd ask here. As a mainly Crucible player, what is the best way to farm for Glaciocasm in 2024? Thanks everyone

I still enjoy Destiny and play it every week. This is not a “Bungie needs to add x feature” or “Bungie needs to fix y bug” post.

Many people do not play Destiny as a fun way to kill time. They play it as an investment of their time because they want to acquire skills, knowledge or accolades that will be helpful or prestigious in the game's future. When you view the player base this way, all the “should I return?” posts make far more sense.

If people are to be convinced to “invest” their time in Destiny, Bungie must sell a vision of a viable future for the game. There are two major examples where I’d want to see this applied:

1. Technical: Bungie has promised that campaigns won’t be removed anymore, but are now adding two per year. That can't last forever without launching a sequel, but what would a sequel to D2 even look like? The fact that none of us know what form a long-term future for this game would take is a problem unique to Destiny and is radical for anyone approaching this game for the first time.
2. Narrative: People have been conditioned to know all the DLCs coming out years ahead of their release. Though I think it’s silly for people to say Destiny is “over” just because TFS has ended, selling a new long-term narrative may be important to fight misinformation.

People talk a lot about the magic of D1. For me, the most essential ingredient of that magic was our own imagination of what this franchise could be. I hope Bungie can sell an exciting future for this franchise once again.

Happy holidays!

Edit: I don’t mean to say a D3 is the only way forward. I mean that if Bungie wants to continuously add to D2, then they need to convince players that is a viable long-term solution. If they want to launch a sequel, they need convince players the transition will be handled well. Right now they’ve promised neither, leaving to players to imagine their worst fears about both.

Seriously, a low player count on Steam does not mean that Destiny is dead or dying. Just because some people want to play another game doesn’t mean they hate Destiny. I still play Destiny, and I’m not seeing this evidence of a dead or dying game. I can regularly find people to raid with, do dungeons with, and complete activities. Not that I’ve tried, but I don’t just see the same names over and over outside of my clan either.

Even if Destiny does die before Bungo tells the whole story or does everything they want to do, it would not be the end of the world.

(I just wanted to get this off my chest. Feel free to ignore.)

Good day Guardians. I just got back to playing Destiny 2. This always happens to me almost a week or two now. I am constantly getting BSOD (BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH) always at this specific time 10:52 PM or 10:53 PM. I can play the game smoothly and properly and no problem from morning until evening whole day but when the time 10:52 PM or 10:53 PM rolls around I instantly got the BSOD. Anyone know what is happening here? Why is it always at that specific time I am getting BSOD. Thank you for answering.

Title. I'm on a little "unlock every exotic/catalyst" quest* because I'm really trying to find reasons to keep playing this game (am aware new titles are out, am too broke to afford them or the hardware for them, moving is hard) and the whole "you need 400 exp to unlock the catalyst. Complete Vanguard, Gambit, or Crucible matches for said exp. Each completed match awards 4 exp" thing is ridiculous.

Also why 4/400? Why not 1/100? If we'll need 100 matches either way then why not just fucking put that?

* purposely ignoring that my personal quest is inherently impossible due to some exotics never even having received a catalyst, and likely never will, because I'm trying to enjoy my Saturday.

I´m really disappointed how stingy the Dawning system is, from my experience and reading here current gift drop rate is around 1:10 cookies, this is way too low when after that you have to go into the focusing RNG for dawning weapon (without guaranteed double perks) that not even drop on other activities, like the summer, Halloween or Iron Banner events.

Gift drop rate should be 1:2 - 1:3 cookies max with dawning spirit being the scarce resource, not the other way around.

Really it takes away any desire to play, at least for me. Yes, some level of RNG will always exist, but layer over layer of RNG and then not even be able to roll the dice on that RNG is just frustrating.

Anyway, just wanted to say something about it, I guess I´ll just take a break from the game for now...

Nerfs to threaded spectre, nerfs to smoke bomb, nerfs to combination blow, nerfs to swarm grenade. All of these affecting mainly the Prismatic kit in PvE, ruin the enjoyment of the game.

I’m sure for many people like myself, the last time I had real fun in Destiny when it wasn’t a new content drop, was the Craftening. Why? Because it made us feel powerful. Nobody wants to see their favourite builds dwindle over time because of constant nerfs to their abilities. It ruins the power fantasy.

I thought we learned this lesson a long time ago? Stop ruining the enjoyment of PvE for the sake of PvP.

What I’ve seen however, over the last year, is Bungie backpedal on almost all of the lessons they’ve learned. Not just with Hunters, but on the overall enjoyment factor of the game.

Edit: Geez people like to take things way out of context in here. I said nerfs are a contributing factor, not THE factor.
