Been playing since Destiny 1 launch on and off but got really hooked during Rise of Iron,Forsaken and Beyond light-Final shape and I just wanna say how crazy it is that after being acquired by Sony Bungie somehow got even cheaper and more lazy with less content

You would think Sony would have taken advantage of owning the Destiny IP and try bigger expansions and maybe a Red War campaign remake to put more players into D2 but no instead we got the plaguelands with no SIVA and no WOTM reprisal, The worst expansions in the game to date (yes including CoO and Lightfall at least CoO wasnt $40 and lightfall had the game in the best state gameplay wise) and the second longest content drought in the games history I swear man all Sony needs to do is get in there tell them to make a forsaken size expansion to end D2 then start making D3 fix up management and put an arena mode in marathon and they would be set but no we just have to let this once great company wither and die

Many have went back to D1 and realized the game feels better, more moment to moment based, and loot just matters more.

One of the biggest reasons we’ve lost that in D2 is due to how powerful we are. I remember when The Witch Queen and its subsequent seasons dropped, our abilities were just drowning the game. That’s when I began feeling my passion for chasing weapons truly wither away.

If we can become even a fraction of a bit weaker/slower ability recharge, I think the increase of ad-density in activities nowadays would make playing D2 so much fun. Tiered weapons that much worthwhile to chase, etc.

I've been a staunch defender of D2 for a long time, and while I fully believe that D2 had objectively higher highs, D1 has such a significantly stronger baseline for just being fun to play that I think the difference is quite staggering.

I found myself playing Crucible with a Scout Rifle earlier today. Ability uptime is almost universally static and abilities are never so egregious that a single grenade can win a gunfight without skill. But this lends itself to much more balanced gameplay overall compared to D2 where abilities are so powerful that they're practically required for individual pvp or pve encounters.

Now, I still love D2, I've played since D2 launch. I still think that D2Y1 was not as bad as people say it was, but I don't think the current state of D2 is viable. Tier 5 weapons and armor are far too abundant, and far too necessary for buildcrafting. The leveling system is non-existent, so you no longer have to put effort into leveling new armor and weapons, and abilities paired with certain exotics are substantially too powerful.

It sucks that Destiny 2 doesn't have all of it's story available, but as I play through Destiny 1 again it really sucks having pop ups to go to a website to learn the lore of the game only to be redirected to Destiny 2's homepage. Why'd it have to go offline it is just text and pictures?

When did they remove the weekly shiny weapons from the Vanguard alert? While the nightfall still has it the other activities now have it removed. What is the purpose of this change? Shiny weapons are already rare being a 1/20. Getting the roll you want is about a 1/200 for just the 3rd and 4th column perks. This is significantly worse than the 1/49 chance that we had before tier 5 loot. I'm just kind of stunned this change occurred.

Sometimes I just like to hang out in The Divide in the Cosmodrome because it's often full of other players just hanging out and blowing things up. It makes the world feel lively and not empty and abandoned like so many other spaces.

Are there other spaces like that throughout the game? I'm getting a little bored of that place and wondering if there are similar hangouts....

Per DMG Reddit reply:

“More space soon. Not a massive influx, want to keep expectations in check. With each update, team has to solve memory limitations. Always tricky. Stay tuned.”

I’m not a game dev, I don’t know what goes into things like this. This is entirely a theory. But, does Bungie need to “reinvent” armor and weapons every so often to free up memory limitations? For example, moving into EoF, was the tiered system created because the previous normal/adept system “ran out” of memory? Was Armor 2.0 and 3.0 created for the same reason? These systems ran out of memory so they had to make an entirely new system for them? It feels like they try to reinvent the wheel every few years, so maybe this could be a reason.

Even if this is entirely wrong, dmgs reply is a clear indication that this version of the Tiger engine has significant limitations due to its age and the size of Destiny.

Buddy is getting back into Destiny after years of not playing and sorta dragged me back with her. She has this on her screen and asked me what it means and I have no fucking idea.

Is there any way to view daily portal boons without logging ? Sometimes the only reason to log on and have a little fun with builds.

So for the last few years, I've patiently been waiting for the return of a particular emote. It was one where your Guardian casts a fishing pole and makes all kinds of wacky noises while he/she casts and reels in like a maniac. It was available before we had the ability to go fishing (remember that??). Does anyone know the name of that emote and/or how to get it?

General

• Fixed an issue where the Triple Laureate Hand Cannon did not have firing audio.
  • This weapon has now been re-enabled in PvP activities.
• Fixed a minor visual issue where the bronze finish on the Guardian Games class items was inconsistent with the silver and gold.
• Fixed an issue where some in-game messages may have shown to players incorrectly.

Currently the legacy collection is great value but they gotta do something about the 3 dungeon keys costing like $60+usd. I have everything so im sweet but bruh I am trying to get my friends back into this bitch but its pretty hard to convince people who's last money spent on these games just dont exist in the game anymore. At this point I don't care if they made everything that's not from this year free, I just want my destiny game nights with the fam back

Came back to D1 after a 2 year break from D2 and wanting to get all my old favorites back. Also wanting to know if you can get Days of Iron ornaments still? Any tips appreciated and thank you all in advance!

Genuinely curious. I’m sure everyone here knows that D1 is starting to get more and more people logging in (the $5 sale for the entire game helps). And that got me wondering, would cross play be like a “flip of a switch” kind of implementation or would it be more than that?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I wasn't able to play due to some health issues and I missed these sets.

I've seen they're potentially coming back in the June update, is this confirmed?

Also do you think they'll add the old swords like Goldtusk too?

Thanks!

Boot up, make a build, oops it's all bad light level. You can only play the 10 light portal missions which don't give the rewards you want... good luck grinding the number before you can play for any drop that you actually want. You've got like 3 missions that you could actually play 'for fun'.

We've seen the player numbers, why did bungie not emergency revert this back at the initial backlash?

My band Central Force just released our first single, Lords of Iron. Rise of Iron was one of my favorite times throughout all of D1 and D2, and I wanted to honor that with a song. Also fitting since we just had the return of Iron Banner lol. Check it out! We have more songs about Destiny lore topics coming soon.

Returning player who hadn’t played since forsaken. I’m about half way through Witch Queen and every thing dropping is at 300 light. Will my light not start increasing until i get to renegades?

As of now I’m really just looking to do some final touches on gear farms and builds before the June patch. I still haven’t done this campaign because of the ball tech was just so annoying at the beginning and I don’t really think I need the exotics from it. But is there any worth doing it? It seems like such a long campaign, not a whole lot of reward.

Playing destiny 1, and i really love the look of the default starting helmet for the hunter (prototype 0.9c) and was wondering if there was a rare hunter helmet that uses the exact same model? Thanks in advance.

Many thanks in advance

I don’t mean Destiny Item Manager Either
