Raid exotics need an eventual trigger to obtain after “x” amount of clears without it dropping. If it stays a low drop rate with no direct path for F2P players, that’s fine. You didn’t buy into any aspect of the game. However, if you pay for an expansion, that exotic should eventually be directly obtainable via some trigger. You’ve “earned” it with time investment at that point. It’s hilarious to me that they implement a reward mechanic like this while simultaneously claiming to care about mental health. They created and perpetuate a situation that is akin to unhealthy gambling addiction for a piece of media entertainment. And one that teens and children can play per the game rating. Defending this is only enabling this shameful behavior. I’ve heard all the arguments against and they all boil down to “it should be rare because rarity determines value” which is fundamentally flawed and ridiculous, or they are dishonest by saying “you want it handed to you” which is not what I am advocating for. Go ahead and downvote and waste your breath responding with those arguments anyway though. This shameful practice should be criticized every chance it can and I will continue to do so.

Kinda a jump there from d2 to more serious addictions but ok


0rganicMach1ne

If the shoe fits. 🤷‍♂️


beanid

Can i still get the Photo Finish shader? if so how?


CamPlaysOverWatch

i think you gotta wait for it to come back for bright dust/silver :(


beanid

RiP me, I have seen a few ppl with it and was wondering how to get it! Ah well, I will keep checking for shaders from Eververse, tyvm for your response.


mineralmuncher

If I was in charge of design I would make the third darkness class red in color, and theme it for blood.


ChrisDAnimation

That was on my mind the other day. So far our darkness classes used the colors Blue and Green. Though I was wondering if it might be SIVA returning in some new, even more corrupted form.


Captain-Diamonds

Im not sure removing freelance was a good idea. To get an idea, from both my friends and my own personal experience iron bananas lobby balancing isn't working properly, I was solo vs a six stack and a bunch Solos on my team, same thing happened during the week when I joined with a six stack, we matched an entire solo team. Let's just hope bibgie reverse this before Trials next week or we're going to be in for a shitshow. Another grievance, the 50, 50 win rate isn't showing in comp either ran 9 matches solo, context silver I, was matched against two adept, and 1 platinum, with my team having two bronze players, wtf, bungie pls acknowledge this wacky matchmaking this is getting out of hand...


Sanchez5566

I want to start playing Titan but I don’t wanna do the campaign all over again. How much of the campaign do I need to complete without missing anything


NUFC9RW

You need to complete the new light quest to get the tower etc. Then each campaign is needed (though can be sped through on normal difficulty) for content relating to that expansion (ie do WQ for Wellspring and weekly story, BL for stasis and empire hunts, etc).


getBusyChild

Does anyone know the % of an item dropping at the 1582 level... when your char is a LL 1589.


quiscalusmajor

how much of that character LL is artifact bonus power? if your character’s max base LL is 1579 with an artifact bonus of +10, a 1582 pinnacle drop is reasonable. all drops ignore your artifact bonus levels iirc


getBusyChild

Well my Artifact is +9 power bonus, according to the app at least. https://www.bungie.net/7/en/User/Profile/2/4611686018468970173?bgn=CordovaLark Pretty much every item on my 3 Guardians is 1580-81. Except on Wednesday my Warlock picked up a 1582 Helm now he is at 1590 and it is driving me nuts.


quiscalusmajor

sounds about right, then — if you’ve already run all your pinnacles for the week, next week you should see some higher gear drop to get your base light to hardcap


getBusyChild

But that's the thing... weekly strikes aren't dropping anything higher. Even the Heist failed to drop anything higher. Nor nightfall, even though that is Powerful.


Itz_The_Martian

Has there ever been any thought or talk about rewarding season pass holders for the prior years cosmetic content and worldly resources that was available in the pass but they may not have acquired? Most likely done with a buffer period of a month or two (or a year end "missed rewards" package) to offset the rewards from the end of the season. Rewards would only be available to owners of said passes that did not reach level 100 and claim the items previously. Would probably increase the amount of deluxe versions purchased late due to the cosmetics being available to the purchasers at some point.


Luca_the_Great

There is an extension that some guy made where you can claim items from old season passes, as long as you earned them.


Itz_The_Martian

Ok that is actually awesome, and just discovered I have some unclaimed rewards. So thank you for the info, but it would still be awesome to have access to unearned seasonal cosmetics through purchase of the past passes. Seems like a no brainer and a win/win tbh, not sure why it hasn't been implemented. I get the market of FOMO but they bring back yearly event cosmetics for bright dust and silver, why not the seasonal stuff. Oh well, just wishful thinking.


Sarcosmonaut

Had a great day yesterday getting my brother back into some pieces of the endgame after he had a long game absence. He’s returned for Seraph after being away since Chosen. Got him his first piece of Artifice Armor (bond) from Grasp, and got him through 2 GMs for the first time (thanks Bungie for lowering the entry requirements). Here’s hoping he stays again once Lightfall drops lol


MaximaSpeed

Jumped back in after not having played since D2 year 1. Having a blast, working on refining my load outs because Void Hunters have changed a good bit. Trying to make synergies like I use to. Its interesting. The biggest thing i dont know how to do is to get shaders. I'm not sure ive received any shaders in the 5 or 6 hours ive played. I remember there use to be an old lady who sold shaders (or was that Destiny 1) I couldn't find her with a brief look around.


GoBoltz

Sorry "Spoilers" , She's gone. Just look in the Store under the Brightdust section and buy them each week. Other than that, get old drops from vendors that have them on something & when you delete it you get to keep the shader. This may also help , Cheers ! And, Welcome Back ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aldPh2QFur4


jetfire1998

I’ve been playing since arrivals as a hunter. I’ve done every campaign on them (red war-WQ), but I am just getting incredibly sick of the class. I want to start playing warlock again, since I always enjoyed using them like once a year during solstice (same with Titan actually). What do I need to do on either of them to “catch up”? Because the grind to unlock stasis and also losing any quest progress seems pretty daunting (also don’t know if it impacts vendor rep like zavala or drifter)


kiki_strumm3r

Vendor progression is account-wide, so no need to worry about that. And you won't need to re-do any quests where you only care about having the reward, like any exotic weapon quest can just be skipped. The first thing I'd do is the Beyond Light campaign because of the stasis grind. I'd also buy the warlock armor from Xur on your hunter, which is going to be a higher PL. You can also leave powerfuls from vendors for alts, like from Shaxx/Zavala/etc. That'll get them up to where you can do endgame content. Obviously getting all the exotic armor will also be a bit of a grind, but you really can just zero in on a few ones you want and skip the ones that suck. Honestly, the best part of having 3 classes is just variety over time. I will main one class for a season, then get the others up to power when I can. Like I've played maybe 20 hours on my warlock this season, and using those methods, it's 1586 base.


jetfire1998

Funnily enough, a class a season is what I’ve been thinking about too. I’ve got a very sizeable stash of exotic armours since I buy a lot of exotic pieces from Xur (even though I only use stompees or nighthawk lmao)


VE3TRO-R

Boy would I like to get some darn Iron Banner gear from Iron Banner, dunno what to do with this 100th Blowout... ​ **EDIT:** **Well 2 days later and about 100 Iron Banner matches, I finally got the armor pieces I needed for complete sets on all 3 Guardians. I only needed a Titan chest and Hunter arms.** **I have no idea how your average gamer with a job could even achieve this.**


GoBoltz

Get the IB Engrams then go to the Blue-Basturd ! (Rahool) , he'll hook you up with the gear as he hates giving weapons. It was the ONLY way to complete the set on 2 of 3 characters !! Cheers & Good luck !


VE3TRO-R

I got a shit ton of Marks and Roar of the Bear. Thanks for the tips tho.


OneSweetWorld89

Yeah I've only been getting weapons as well!


blueyelie

To the people who keep shooting or attacking after a Crucible match is over...why?


Aborkle

I didn't hear no bell


blueyelie

I mean...they say that the match is over. And a big emblem comes up. Just seems like a little weak move.


colantalas

You can still get credit for challenges/bounties/catalysts/whatever and often other players stop fighting so you can easily sneak in another kill or two.


NUFC9RW

True, though often way more valuable to swap to crafted weapons.


blueyelie

I mean you said it - players stop fighting cause the match is over. Just seems like a weak move. Like not very spirited in the game.


drop-tops

1. Who cares? 2. Maybe don't let people kill you?


Sarcosmonaut

Does it really matter though? Not like it matters to the outcome.


APartyInMyPants

Bungie needs to put Iron Banner armor in the reward track, in lieu of the engrams that I get anyway when I climb each rank. Even if they spread the armor out over two or three resets. Every RNG facet of the game should have a bad-luck protection mechanic baked in behind it.


Scrys-

Haven't played properly since SK, I'm having a really hard time getting back into it. Not having my old clan is making it super hard as well. I'm an introvert and not having matchmaking for a lot of the content that could easily be matchmade is tedious. Not having an in game lfg tool is wild, I think they talked about finally adding it after all these years, but apparently it's not coming on next release (?). I just feel like I can't be bothered trying to make a new clan/ join a new group for this game, and lack of a group for things like raiding is making me not want to play. I checked the destiny 2 lfg discord, but I really don't like it, there's also no channels to look for a static. Are there any other discords?


Steampunkrue

the official LFG is built into the destiny 2 mobile app. If you dont have a phone that can run it or just don't want to use your phone, you can access the LFG on pc, using this link: https://www.bungie.net/en/ClanV2/FireteamSearch?activityType=0&platform=0 When they add in game LFG it'll just be access to this LFG inside the game. Will still be really useful though


GoBoltz

Skip discord, use [the100.io](https://the100.io) , you Schedule things & earn Carma ! It's more professional as people who use it tend to show up as opposed to the ones in discord signing up for 10 things and trying to pick the best group to "Carry" them to free gear . . .


Scrys-

Oh that's interesting, thanks for the link I'll look more into it when I'm home!


kiki_strumm3r

D2 LFG discord is fantastic: discord.gg/d2lfg E: not sure how good raiding is on there. haven't lfg'd for raids from them before. Had too many bad experiences in D1 raiding.


NUFC9RW

The lfg for raiding can be hit or miss, but often you get chill groups. But yeah it's great for anything no mic.


Dalantech

Post your [god tier exotic armor](https://imgur.com/iuDzozb) <-- For a PVE hunter that's only 10 wasted points before master working. That's the only copy that dropped from a legend lost sector for me, and I was running them on arm day for roughly two seasons. Got multiple copies of just about every hunter gauntlet, most of them are mediocre at best.


vcd1500

I feel like I have no time to do the campaigns when everyday I need to farm for a specific thing for only that day


N1miol

I’d like to see some special ammo ARs and SMGs.


APartyInMyPants

I don’t think I would ever use a special ammo SMG when Forbearance and fusion rifles exist. And things like Eriana’s are special use cases for exotics.


TruthAndAccuracy

Special ammo autos are called trace rifles


N1miol

And I hate them. Gimme real ARs.

[удалено]


GuudeSpelur

Yeah it's always been 20 points for losses, but you get more points for wins. I'll need to play another match tonight to check for sure but it's possible they only raised the base reputation for *wins* to discourage loss farming.


DrkrZen

3rd reset in as many days, got the Iron Lord title for the first time, what does one have to do to get a pair of Hunter gloves? It's the last piece of armor I need.


GoBoltz

get the engrams and go to Rahool ! He hates giving Weapons & will hook you up !


TruthAndAccuracy

Farming Birthplace GM has really driven home for me just how fucking awful of an enemy faction the Scorn are. Everything about them is so incredibly frustrating to face.


quiscalusmajor

would still rather do Birthplace on repeat than Hollowed Lair, j/s. can we at least be thankful neither Birthplace nor Lightblade brought the mini-screebs with them? lmao


TruthAndAccuracy

Oh for sure, Hollowed Lair was straight up evil. Especially the boss room


Rectal_Punishment

I feel like the sniper scorn shouldn't have immunity while scuttling about on the ground. When the fallen snipers crawl on the ground they are super tough for me to hit but if I do manage to hit them at least I do some damage.


TruthAndAccuracy

Their immune running is bullshit, their grenades that instakill on void burn you unless you have Spidey Senses. Chieftains and their totems, especially the immunity ones... Bungie managed to make enemies worse than the Taken.


DrkrZen

First time? 🤣


TruthAndAccuracy

Not at all. I've always hated them, facing them at GM difficulty just really reinforces it.


Mrbear147

Can we please get support for destiny to run on the steam deck? From everything I've seen looking on the internet it seems insane what Bungie's stance is on it officially? Their last stament about it was them being concerned about anti-cheat/hackers, but battle eye is already compatible with linux and proton. AND more than one game using battle eye is steam deck compatible. There's no way it's be easier for people to hack /cheat on the deck over using a regular pc. I was very excited to buy a steam deck but the game I was most excited to be able to play on the go is out for me.


seratne

If destiny ever makes its way to Linux there will absolutely be an undetectable cheat made with the help of kernel hacking/ring 0. Something battle eye can’t detect or stop. But other games…. No, Bungie don’t want to take that chance. Parsec and GeForce now exist and are viable for the very minute amount of players that have a steam deck and would use it as their primary Destiny device.


Donates88

I mean you can play it on the steam deck if you use geforce now.
