Probably not the most pressing of issues but Umbral Harbinger is a cauldron of bats for a transmat but it reuses the bird noises from the Murder of Crows transmat. I’d love to have authentic bats, Bungie pls.

The game is great, the people suck. Every single one that we randomly meet in vanguard and seasonal activities are nothing but toxic freeloaders. We got the ability to do so for the most recent activity and it's a godsend, so please. Add it to the rest of the game.

When this all first dropped I looked at a guide and deemed it way too much of a grind at the time but the past week or so I decided to finally clean up all the prismatic fragments I didn’t have and get the cysts done for the alone in the dark red borders. Thought maybe I should look up how to get Khvostov and realized I was basically halfway there without even trying. Tonight I got the legendary one, all the mini travelers and have accumulated 13 motes of light. I think I need 17? but before I start grinding each Overthrow for hours tomorrow I would just like some clarification since everything I can find online and on here is from 6 months ago. Do I NEED to do all 3 Overthrow activities 3 times in a row to make sure I kill every boss to get motes or can I just chill out in the landing and do Overthrow 5 more times to get the 5 motes I need? I have no idea what bosses I’ve taken down and what ones I haven’t. I’m sure I got some motes months ago and as far as I know I have no way of seeing which ones I’ve killed. Just some clarification would be fantastic. Don’t really wanna waste a ton of time for nothing other than some catalyst progress and I haven’t paid enough attention to see if they were random drops or even if I killed the same boss twice.

Any help/details would be great!!!!

After playing crucible, it felt like the right time. I usually like crucible, but I'm tired boss. My salt and pepper abilities can only carry me so much.

I played destiny 1 religiously with some friends but lost the friend group before destiny 2 i played alone for a little but im just restarting. Any help with what to keep and what to dismantle or get rid of, I'm a Hunter if that helps. Current power 1925 I have mad stuff currently just dont know whats good in this stage of the game , with all the DLC... thank you to anyone that helps

Headshot lover, and played Destiny 2, and not a fan of its hitting style, kind of mild, love hitting feeling of COD BO6 zombies, but it doesn’t offer big boss to shoot head for a period of time then kill. Now interested in witchfire. And Remnant 2, warframe, the first descendant… they’re TPS, not FPS. Any recommendation? Thanks. Ah, campaign of a game is not that necessary for me.

I've recently had my first child, and being able to sit at a desk for gaming sessions has been impossible. Thus, I've been looking into more mobile options that would allow me to get into Destiny- and other games- a little more freely without sitting in front of a monitor. Cost isn't an issue- the only want is having a back paddle system a la Scuf or Pro controllers. Hopefully, someone on this sub has experience with some system like this, and provide some good feedback. Thank you in advance!

For consecration slam I like how it is pretty easy to evade. The initial wave does pretty low tick damage and there’s time for decent players to react with a quick jump which avoids the second wave. So they either get away or more likely kill the Titan.

Thundercrash though, feels too easy to get away from. If you’re flying in from far away then you may get one or two kills, but there’s time to scatter just enough or get a little height that’s enough to avoid being killed. And then of course vulnerable to being easily killed. The only thing saving me is the exotic class item with spirit of Alpha Lupi.

I’m not expecting it to be a total nuke, but for what it is and how vulnerable it leaves the Titan, the sphere feels it should be a little bigger. Thoughts?

I was excited about its changes but the way the damage scales so slow makes them pointless. You will deal significantly more damage by simply using your bow normally. To be honest the way damage scales slowly only makes since if you intended them to work in PvP but the dont. I say let the damage scale faster or buff the max damage output.

I have actually tested the gaunlets in multiple encounters and raw damage tests for hours. Actively using them makes all engagements/activitied take longer at most your getting close to a 10% dmg buff using them passively.

How many have mapped the whole watch tower and tagged all of it's crawlspaces, platforms, hidden rooms and scanables? Going to try not to drop any specifics.

1. As you move about the tower, Ghost will notify you that there is something of interest. Most of the time, it will say nothing at all. Some of the time it will have comments. I am curious if there is a point, or if its just for fun? Most of this stuff ghost will happily scan over and over as if its already forgotten.
   1. No I am not referring to the mini games, or the balls. Unless everything is some how connected for some yet unrealized prize.
2. The old guide to watchtower secrets mentions buffs that you can get while playing games. But did you know there is a buff you can keep so long as you are logged into the watch tower and do not leave? That's right it lasts even if you fall and die. Odds are you have seen this buff and not even realized.
   1. Grants faster movement and higher jumps.
   2. at least one of these scanables can only be accessed during certain events when tower doors aren't always secured.
3. The old guide also mentions a few secret social spaces? I have found 2, I don't know if they are abandoned or just hidden. All 3 are essentially connected. 1 is not exactly hidden or secret, but for sure abandoned.
4. During at least one event there is loot all over the tower, you just have to look.
5. There are multiple secret rooms and tunnels that don't seem to go any place, but perhaps are left over from past expansions or even get used for events. It's a mystery to me.
6. I have found 1 area that is set up and decorated as a area, but you cannot enter, its out of bounds. Another is fairly large, but lightly decorated as if incomplete. Similar is a room that be observed, it looks like some one might have lived in it, but there is no way in a guardian can fit through.
7. I have to assume most of this is just for fun, like wheels in a hamster cage. Makes the area real and explorable, more open world, feels less prefab like an office space to get resources and information. Always have to wonder what is behind the Massive Emblem doors, the ones that bear the mark of the Last City and the Traveler, the same mark as my PS4 has.

I’ve had to go back into the exotic mission like 3 times, and now it wants to go back in a FOURTH TIME this is awful, I’m just trying to unlock the fucking focusing for the machine gun, but NOTHING tells me how to do that!!!

How in the FUCK am I supposed to know that going back and opening the OPTIONAL secret chests is what unlocks the quest??? Who thought of this? Revenant has the same problem, I had to look up how to unlock new potions BECAUSE NO WHERE DOES IT SAY HOW TO.

THESE EPISODES ARE WORSE THAN SEASONS!!!

Before Iron Banner started I predicted that I would have to play 125 games to get the 25 W's to fill the 100% Meter for Wins for the Iron lord Title. Or that I would only Win 1 out of 5 Matches. And I am Correct...I just Won my 4th match in 20 Games...or 1 out of 5. Ex.If I get a W in my First Match, I know I will lose my next 4 matches. Or If I lose my First 4 matches...I Know My next or 5th Match will come with a W.

This is how it is CODED in "SBMM"... whether its Iron Banner or Crucible. 4 of the 5 Teams I am on will be stacked with Free to Try players....5 Free to Try players with 1 Season Pass player, this accounts for the Losses. But 1 of the 5 teams I am on will be stacked with 5 Season Pass players and 1 Free to Try player....Myself., for the W.

I know If I want the Iron Lord Title, regardless of my Play or Skill....I am "Guaranteed' the Title if I grind 105 More matches. How am I so confident...Because its been like this for the last 2 Seasons.

Just like I know, If I do decide to grind out 105 MORE matches..I will get the Guilded Title not this Season, BUT next Season and I will get a notification at a random time saying I have Won the Iron Lord Title, when Iron Banner is not even in rotation. How do I know? Because Its been like this for the last 2 Seasons.

Just like I know, I will get the Title even though I have NOT found a Warlock Bond and Hunter Helmet. Because I have not found either in 3 Seasons of Play. My Collections is still missing the Warlock Bond and Hunter Helm.

I can tell Immediately If I will get a W or a L...by looking at my teams Exotics at the start of each match. And by what weapons are killing Me. Seasn Pass Exotics =W . Free to Try Exotics = L.

Odd thing is...Statistically speaking. A players performance should Increase with more experience. But Bungie has been Proven that the game is "Weighted" or CODED .I did 100xs better in myFirst Season of Iron Banner, than I am doing now.

Its the same for PVE. My "Stats" are worse now,, than in my First season playing. But thats a post for another time.

It's like Bait and Switch the modifier. It adds a little bit of challenge and makes you adapt to a new play style, both in that in makes you juggle your weapons and making you use double primary. And the most important thing? If you lean into it, you're heavily rewarded. Carry a scout and an SMG, and you're doing upwards of 50k per shot on the scout if you can get it to 3x weapon boost.

Please bring it back, Bungie! Would love to see it in other GMs.

I know that S19s finale and Lightfall/Final Shapes story centered around the Hunt for the Traveler(s Power). But I really do miss me big marble god above the city. Do you others think it will stay forever up there or do you think it will return eventually to the city, once its glowy radiant aura has cooled off after the Echoes escaped from it?

I've not had the chance to actually purchase anything from the rewards restock that happened earlier this week on reset (mainly cause my account was linked to the US version of the bungie store and the EU one and I had to use my boyfriends account to try and buy something) but by the time I actually got to the site half the things I wanted were retired AGAIN despite bungie themselves stating that this refresh window would last until the 3rd of December. So either I missed my chance cause they sold out that quickly OR bungie just does not care about what they told people lol. Im sort of hoping someone can give me some closure or an idea of whats happened cause it's just really bummed me out :(

I’m trying to complete the Strider Quest and I only have the Zephyr Concourse Incursion Zone left to complete but when I go there, there isn’t the big cabal looking thing that starts that anywhere

Flechette storm is the only one that an exception could be meaningfully argued for. But if your using an Arc melee with Tempest Strike or Lighting Surge, or a Solar melee with Consecration. or a stasis melee with Howl of the Storm. you should have an additional melee charge.

This should be ontop of other buffs given to these Aspects, such as giving lightning surge synergy with Amplified such as increased aoe and damage whilst amped. this also isnt to replace any damage buffs some of the aspects require.

Additionally, there is no reason why i shouldn't be able to do a super charged Lighting surge in storm trance, or empowered Tempest Strike in Arc Staff.

a tempest strike could consume more super energy then a heavy attack, but summon 2 additional lighting waves either side of the normal one, for a much stronger attack. imagine a Raiden flux buffed, super charged Tempest stirke.

Lightning surge could consume 1/4th of your super energy but in return it brings down the heavens in a devastating storm of lighting, akin to a landfall. (this is extreme but i wanted to get my point across on this)

ETC.

Melee aspects are aspects and should be treated as such imo.

My duo and I are having a really tough time in Vesper’s final boss. We’re both seasoned players who have been playing for 6+ years each, so it’s really odd that we’re having so much trouble. Does anybody have any general tips, such as what weapons/classes are the best or strategies?

I’m looking for a new build to try out since I got this pairing. I’ve been hearing on YouTube and some Reddit threads that it’s a good combo. I’d love to know if anyone has a build that like to use!

What if dungeons had a reputation vendor(or spoils of conquest like raids), that would give you multipliers on streaks of dungeon clears. Play entire dungeons, get rep, get curated rolls, get engrams, go focus the weapon you want at a vendor.

Dungeons for me are re-playable as a whole but become a slog when I am pigeon-holed into farming a certain encounter over and over.

Just that little bit of rep gain would go a long way to making a guardians time be valuable.

Haven’t completed vespers yet but how long do I have before that GL with no longer be available @ banshee? End of this or 3rd episode?

Thanks

Hey hope all is well. So. I stopped playing after beating the campaign few days after final shape came out and thinking about re-downloading today. Worth? Am I able to play the previous "acts" and how's the content rn in your opinion? Thanks

is there anything more i should do besides puting all my loot into the vault before deleting it so i dont lose it?
i have a human hunter, and since you can't switch race i wanna delete it to create a awoken one
i dont care about having to redo campaigns and episodes
also, all my transmog that i unlocked is safe right?

I know you can get them done solo, but idk if the same applies for two mans.

How doo I complete the Complete 2 weekly vendor challenges now?

Please help me :)

Just got error coded out of a flawless VH attempt. Error code BIRD. Just a generic tired pseudo rant of sorts. I have had flawless runs ruined by the following issues: error code assortments(one Bird, one Weasel), nuke fell through the floor, couldnt pick up nuke, eager edge reverse tracks meatball in the maze( made me do a 180 for some reason) etc.. some runs ruined by random nonsense and skill issues on my end.

But if the priority of the devs is patching some panels to neuter grand overture rather than fix glaringly obvious and frustrating bugs, idk what to say. I love the game and have solo flawlessed a few dungeons.

Dear devs, given that youre all hellbent on giving bosses lots of health without any fireteam scaling, know that the dungeon feels tedious and boring than it is challenging. I had to do 8 phases of the boss because I did not want to risk the nuke bug during the boss fight. The colour palette of the lightning and the arena... projectiles being shot by the cotton candy.. just couple more things that are ruining an amazing dungeon experience.

Pretty much what the title says. I played Destiny 2 when it first came out. However I’m more into the story content and not much for the end game so it has been a long time since I played. I know there are lots of expansions should I buy them? As someone not into the whole end game stuff probably because I don’t have a dedicated crew to run with.

The damage seems really low without star eaters or celestial nighthawk, is it worth it with the new changes to roaming superss? Just for some context, I'm putting together a prismatic hunter build that uses gifted conviction, and wanted to use golden gun but without either of the aforementioned exotics it seems pretty weak. Is golden not worth it without the specific exotics to actually make it good? Is it trash on it's own?

Twice in a row I just had an issue where, when trying to do just the basic matchmade nightfall, the door would not open after killing the tormentor and accompanying adds. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a workaround?
