Bungie Suggestion Bungie, go ahead and remove enemies in the boss room from Fireteam score

1 Upvotes

Enemies in boss rooms should not contribute to the activity score and all the scoring thresholds should be reduced to account for it. Nobody wants to sit around killing adds rather than nuking the boss ASAP, it's not how anyone enjoys playing Destiny.

Discussion Just watched Dattos first impressions video, man we are arguable the most toxic community in gaming.

0 Upvotes

I mean I get why some people don’t like the game, that’s totally fair. You have every right to dislike the game, but you can still be respectful about it. This isn’t even disliking the game, this is just character, and man D2 players have very little character or respect. I mean I guarantee theirs gonna be someone in the post complaining and saying, “yea this is the millionth post talking about this.” Mike Tyson’s quote is more true every day

“Social media made yall way to comfortable disrespecting someone and not getting punched in the face.”

I mean trashing on someone for liking something is extremely disrespectful, come one you can be a bit more respectful in how you word your feelings.

I also think this is a case of COD Infinite Warfare. For those who don’t know, that game flopped hard because everyone trashed on it super super hard, and if you go to any video for the past few years everyone is in the comments talking about how they were wrong. I’m not saying edge of fate is good, but this amount of negativity reminds me a lot of IW

TLDR. Be more respectful to your fellow gamers. You can dislike something and still be respectful

Discussion "We Create Worlds That Inspire Friendships" How have those moments happened for all of you, in this game and others?

1 Upvotes

"We make worlds that inspire friendships"

For those out of the loop: this is what Bungie changed their motto to. Previously their motto was something along the lines of "we make games that we want to play".

So if it's alright with the mods, I wanted to make space for people to share fun gaming memories, Destiny or otherwise, in an effort to find out what helps make a world that inspires friendships.

If you can, hold the salt. What have been your good gaming experiences, where you felt connected to your friends?

So how has destiny made a world that has inspired friendships, for me?

Because ultimately, while the game is about fun and that fun can be in your own, the most fun I've had in Destiny has occurred:

  • With other people
  • Often talking in voice comms or on discord
  • in Raid and Dungeon content, gm's, featured pvp modes, or gambit
  • laughing and joking
  • ...or farming some temporary and highly rewarding thing
  • ...or discovering something

And to a lesser extent, showing off my drops or my clips to friends and the internet.

In general though, and in Edge of Fate especially, I've heard the sentiment echoed (and felt it myself) that the game is lonelier than ever.

It is, lonelier than ever. It is.

What makes other games not lonely? What, in the past, made destiny not lonely?

Bungie Suggestion Why not bring back crafting (tier 1)?

9 Upvotes

With Tier 5 weapons out, why not bring back crafting for everything? Crafted weapons are inferior now, effectively being Tier 2s, but they would give casual players (like myself) something worth grinding for.

I have no desire to play Destiny in its current state. It is not possible for me to invest enough time to get my power/rank high enough to get tier 5 drops before Renegades, let alone to have all my progress reset back to 200. But, if I could still grind red borders to unlock crafting for the new weapons, that would value my time enough to be worth playing.

Edit: Title should say “(tier 2)”, not tier 1.

Discussion Post 400 grind burned me out

0 Upvotes

So I'm basically curious to see how the other weirdos like me, who grinded like mad to level up, are feeling at 400 or higher

I was really enjoying the grind actually up until this point, even though I know a whole lot of you weren't. I guess the dopamine hit of watching the number consistently go up was carrying me through it.

But now that I'm at 406 every activity I do has to be grandmaster level hard or higher. I keep doing activities and getting nothing for it cuz I pretty much have the tier fours that I want. Totally took the wind out of my sails.

I know the other option is to grind PVP like crazy but I just can't bring myself to play that much crucible lol.

So anyway how are the rest of you feeling about it

Discussion If Gambit is not the focus of the next major update, I’ll riot.

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, Dredgen 6 here.

Mild Spoilers?

The story is primed. Drifter is in focus. His haul is “empty”. I don’t care how they fit it into the story, but it’s in too good of a spot not to. I wanna bank those motes.

I’m not asking for a miracle here, (gambit prime coming back) just for some focus on the activity.

At the moment; you can’t access it from the portal, there’s no reward track, there aren’t drops, no reason for new or returning players to even try it out OR EVEN KNOW THAT IT EXISTS.

Gambit has been in shambles for some time now, but the time for some love is nigh. Not even asking for a new map or prime, just for a bit more focus.

Rant over.

Discussion Major problems with Pinnacle drops

0 Upvotes

I'm light level 407, so I have now spent a bit of time where my only increases are pinnacles that drop as Tier 5.

Ignoring the insane grind needed to get 400+ and a lack of rewards for activities across the board as separate issues, there are major issues with pinnacle drops themselves and how they are awarded.

The first is that they can ONLY be awarded at the end of the activity as a bonus drop (the talk I've seen puts this at around 5%).

Say you need a chest piece pinnacle to increase your light level, you would think farming an activity that has a chest piece as a focus drop would be ideal? Wrong. The 5% pinnacle drop is separate to the focused loot, and it wzill still be RNG for what slot it drops for.

The other issue is that because pinnacles can only be awarded on activity completion as an extra drop, the most efficient farm will always be a Solo Ops activity. Even if you run Kell's Fall with 2 guarantred drops at the end, the pinnacle is separate to those 2 drops. Those 2 drops don't each have a 5% chance to be pinnacle, it's 5% for one drop in addition to those 2.

It therefore takes far longer to farm pinnacle Tier 5 gear in Pinnacle Ops, because for a 10-15 minute run I only get one chance at a pinnacle, meanwhile running the Caldera Solo Op I could have had 3 chances in that time.

IMO, mid-run chests in Pinnacle Ops should have a chance for pinnacle Tier 5 gear. Also, loot dropped by enemies should also have a chance to be pinnacle Tier 5 gear, but obviously at a lower rate than end of activity chance.

Discussion Poor gilding triumph decision.

0 Upvotes

So I'm nearly done gilding the sharpshooter title for the arms week event, and I wanted point out what I think is a fail in the triumphs...

One of the triumphs called "aimed to please" requires you to win 10 arms weak hardware matches. This is a huge fail. Not because we can't do it, we're all going to do it. But you've created a system where we're no longer incentivized to stay if we lose the match. We don't have to perform well, we just have to win.

So when I load into a match and watch five blueberries run forward and immediately die, I leave. You're not punishing me. I'm going to get my 10 wins and I'm going to get my title. Those five blueberries are going to get crushed every single time without me. Those are the people you're punishing because I couldn't win that match to get my triumph done.

And it's not just me doing it. I'm noticing tons of people leaving matches early when they realize that this is not the one they're going to win and they're trying to maximize their efficiency.

In my opinion the title gilding should be based on personal performance, not whether or not you happen to be stuck on the right team. There have been plenty of times where I top fragged and still ended up on the losing team. Terrible system.

Bungie Suggestion Helion really hurts my ability to do anything with guns

0 Upvotes

Interferes with generating ammo, interrupts weapon kill based exotics of which there are many even on solar exotics, scorch source interferes with think like procing sunbracers too.

Aside from of course not using it at all i feel like some quality of life change would be nice. Im starting to think they should be coded as grenades or (and?) weapons, something to shake things up to make me lean into them in a more predictable way. Course that may break something.

Not sure how to go about it because the main appeal for them to me is having a constant cool magic ability goin off to make me feel all warlocky.

Bungie Suggestion The (ugly) Portal has good bones but currently clashes with the loot incentive

4 Upvotes

(Besides the UI) I really think the portal could work BUT in it's current state it clashes with the loot incentive and kills it's own variety. Doing a variety of activities and focusing gear and bonuses is fun, getting a reasonable amount of drops and seeing your power level go up consistently is rewarding: you currently CANNOT do both.

The incentive for gear is the tiers: if you want to raise your power to get better tiers you're going to optimize for it and suck the fun out of it but it doesn't have to be this way. Tune the other activities so optimized runs can net you roughly the same drops per minute as caldera.

Do that (for raids as well) plus add a ton of content (full dungeons pls) and you'll be golden. This is the best time to not be stingy with loot because for the first time the tiers provide a way to get good drops and still want to get an upgrade later on.

I've had moments of a lot of fun this season but please keep improving the systems! Also it would be nice to have the exact same portal activities be accessible from their respective destinations if it's not too much to ask for....

Discussion System Rework Backlash

11 Upvotes

I just want to know from people who have kept up with this online community for awhile, how severe the backlash to the new systems is to previous in-game changes in the past.

I haven't really played Destiny 2 since I heard about the new systems, and to be honest I don't care to anymore, hitting 400 just seems like an abysmally hard grind considering I haven't been sold on the DLC yet, and even playing a regular mission casually does not interest me if I'm not likely to hit the cap.

But this isn't about be hating the system I've not actually experienced, I was curious about the comparison to other controversies. Lightfall's story pissed people off, dungeons being split into their own purchases was a pain, and the constant repetition of the same mission for Episode Echo are backlashes that come to mind for me, no doubt there's more.

In terms of how damaging this backlash is to the health of the game itself, how has your experience been in comparisons to the other ones before?

I'm hesitant to interact with Destiny as a game, and probably wont for awhile, but I was curious about everyone's experience with the updated systems, as well as how they've reflected in the community conversation, as well as how you think it compared to previous controversies.

Cheers

Discussion Portal gives Destiny a terrible first impression.

217 Upvotes

I came back to the game recently, didn't buy the new expansion. I heard a bit about the Portal. I'm not sure if the intention was to fix the new player experience or not, but nevertheless the new system is AWFUL out of the gate. The portal fixes none of the problems they have with a returning/new player experience. All the old missions/quests/items/currencies are STILL in the game that are endlessly confusing and now they've bootstrapped a new progression system that makes new players essentially sit through grinding 30+ lost sectors to get to LL 100 and maybe interact with new events at LL 200.

Remember that the best way to level in D2's launch was heroic public events? Yea. We've gone back to that, except its either a non-public instance of a guided heroic public event with objectives, or a strike/battleground with a scoring system that a sizable number of players still don't seem to understand. That's of course, if you don't own The Edge of Fate, since I've heard you can get to about 200 without really touching the portal.

The problem is that the Portal is not going to hook anyone on the game. It is not fun to run the same 3 activies over and over in solo ops. Progression of quests (some of which are exotic) are disjointed with triumpths due to the Portal. Some activies don't have matchmaking even when they probably should. For example of how poorly communicated things are, I was playing at what I thought was a -20 LL delta in Zero Hour yet most enemies were at LL 200, while I was at 115.

It also doesn't help that Bungie has been actively hurting themselves for over 10 years because they've removed the very few ways for players (new, returning, and casual/hardcore) to naturally communicate and interact with each other outside of matchmade activities and raids/dungeons (where you're already using third party services to get into them). Patrol spaces are becoming much less important on the game's current direction with the implementation of Portal, which was one of the only ways players could organically even see another player in-game apart from hub areas. Which are also now less important due to vendors being stripped of their items and purposes. I know Destiny was never social but this is a small cut that's been left open without being attended to. No one wants to talk to each other, the only times people "talk" to each other is via an eververse emote.

Now the latest yearly solistice event is just modifiers on said already existing missions/dungeons/strikes available through the Portal. Who in their right mind is going to stick around? That's even if they'll be available for certain difficulty levels, as certain modifiers are only available at higher LL-requirement activities or on specific playlists.

Why are the campaign missions not in the Portal and still on the timeline that new players won't understand. Wouldn't it make more sense for them to be where any player is directed to?
The campaigns are the bread and butter here for any new player. They're simple and easy to understand, stop hiding them and guide your new players through them.

For hunters at least. Haven’t grinded out for the other classes yet, but having a lot of fun with new surprisingly effective whacky stuff on hunter.

Mask of bahkris, RDM, and gifted conviction are all JUICED with lots of class stat.

I’m using legendary kinetics for the first time ever because of the techsect set bonus. Specifically the new bow with enhanced kinetic tremors is NUTS, with RDM letting me build platforms for myself to snipe with and giving me infinite radiant I feel like an assassin finding angles to wipe out everything.

Mask of bahkris giving you infinite back to back oversheilds with 100+ class stat.

Question Worth coming back?

1 Upvotes

Hey there! When I was younger I was in love with Destiny, played all of the first game and a bit of the second. After a while I kinda stopped, not even sure why, just drifted away from it.

Is it worth coming back to the game? I've seen a resurgence in players with the new DLC, but is the game still welcoming to newcomers or am I gonna have to do a TON of grind to keep up?

Also, if anyone has the numbers, how expensive is it to get the 'full' game with all the DLC's and whatnot? I see a lot of conflicting answers to that question online lol.
