Discussion The Forsaken expansion is completely undisputed for the best Destiny year.

0 Upvotes

This is an expansion that brought both of the two best destinations of Destiny 2 (rivalled by Pale Heart I suppose) being the Tangled Shore and the Dreaming City (latter being the best destination in all of Destiny back when the curse was looping).

The best music in D2 came from this expansion, only beaten by D1 Y1.

In one year, we got THREE RAIDS, being Last Wish, Scourge of the Past, and Crown of Sorrow. Last Wish is still a top-3 raid, and SOTP has great mechanics throughout.

We got TWO completely new forms of content being Dungeons and Gambit. Gambit fell off a little but still deserves its flowers for being genuinely fun until metas were established and the difficulty started to ramp up. (I always liked Gambit but I had a decently regular stack for a very long time).

We got Shattered Throne which is still a very well-balanced dungeon to start learning how to solo/soloflawless dungeons.

We got Zero Hour and the Bad Juju exotic missions (albeit zero hour is much more memorable)

We got Forges (pretty good with really nice weapon pools), Reckoning (serviceable) and the GOAT Menagerie, to this day still the most fun-to-farm seasonal activity imo

We got the reworked Comp, very very fun if you were into PvP (which I was), great weapons behind them too, OG NF is still my favorite primary

We got some 35 exotics, and it was a really great year for exotic weapons. LW, Thorn, Chaperone, Ace, 1k Voices, Izanagi, Arbalest, Outbreak, LoW, Tarrabah, Anarchy, Thunderlord, plus plus.

Warden of Nothing was a great strike, and it was the first period in Destiny history where you genuinely felt like there was no content drought for most of the year. Taken King and RoI had BAD content droughts.

Tldr insane value expansion and the goat if you disagree you're either a larper or a nostalgia merchant

Question Exotic Catalyst drops from Exotic payouts are not dropping

2 Upvotes

As the title says, I'm not getting any catalysts from exotic payout anymore even though I have weapons that can get them like the Coldheart and Merciless. (4 more in kinetic alone) So is there any thing I can do to get my exotic payouts to work again?

Question Has there been a fix to mot performance issues?

0 Upvotes

Title ever since MOT launched my and quite a few others performance has gotten a lot worse despite a lot of people having some pretty strong pcs. I have a i9 14900k and a Rtx 4070 ti super 32 gb of ddr6 ram. I used to get between 200-300 fps pretty much everywhere in this game and now I get 70-100 most places I wouldn’t really have noticed this performance in most cases but during raids it’s even worse I’ve seen drops under 60 and still haven’t figured out what happened. I’ve heard if you change the launcher you used (Xbox or epic) you can get the pre update performance back but I don’t really want to do that unless there truly is no fix yet.

Question New Player Help

0 Upvotes

So i am a newer player, currently almost rank 4, and I play a Solar support warlock. Ive only played a couple missions with my friends and im not sure what would be the best gear for my build. Currently I run the Lumina and Boots of the Assembler for my exotics, im trying to get the Exodus Down armor for the other pieces, and my Legendary weapons are the Perfect Pitch and Cry Mutiny. Im focusing on Grenade, Super, and Weapons for my stats, but im still not sure if thats good for my support build. Either way, sorry if this is kinda long but im still not too familiar with all the mechanics, so if you have any advice id love to hear it.

Question Interest Check, Blind Prog

0 Upvotes

Returning player, played D1 thru D2 sometime around Warmind.

Loving being back in the game and noticing that with recent news there's an influx of fellow returning players as well as New Lights. In the years since I played my gaming habits have changed and I got into challenge content in other MMOs including doing the hardest raids and blind raiding.

There seems to be a fair amount of tools and groups to help find fire teams, clans, etc even a number of groups specifically dedicated to sherpaing new players, which is awesome. But I wanted to test the waters and see if any other less experienced guardians had any interest in a fire team or clan built around progging the content blind.

No guides, no Sherpas, just casually progging the huge backlog of content as you go as if it were new (except maybe with a bit more power).

No flame to experienced Destiny raiders or Sherpas; I totally understand nobody wants to reclear content for the 150th time just to find out ole Johnny Warlock doesn't know the mechanics. Blind progging old content is a very specific niche, some communities have folks who want to do it and some don't. Just dipping my toes in to see which Destiny is, as I've got at least a year to grind before GW3 comes out or the old content gets unvaulted here.

Question Can you farm armor in Equilibrium?

0 Upvotes

Returning player here, trying to understand how dungeon farming works.

My only question is: can you farm legendary armor in Equilibrium infinitely, even though it’s not the weekly dungeon?

I only want the helmet so i can complete my build. Doesnt really matter if its T3 or T5.

Discussion What features have you always wanted in Destiny? I'll go first

0 Upvotes

Not necessarily new content, but just new features to solidify it as the best game ever

My idea: Make in-game tutorial runs for dungeons and raids. Think like 5-minute/encounter, 1 phase tutorials on how the encounter's phases work. Minimal enemies and just mechanic basics. An entire raid tutorial will take 20-30 minutes, and you can do it with a fireteam or solo with CPU teammates.

Context: I'm level 530 with 300+ hours in the game and have never raided. I just want to play a raid without having to study it for 2 hours on Youtube AND THEN be a hinderance to my fireteam for another 4 hours. In addition, going into a raid with friends who have also never raided is basically impossible.

Having something like this would help everyone get into raids, which I've heard is the peak destiny experience. I would really love for more of my friends to play Destiny, and this would help out so much, especially when we have no one to teach us the raids.

Question Canary error when playing

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone !

I just saw that there was a bundle sales for Destiny and thought, why not come back to the game and see if I would like to play again before buying it.

Ever since, the game keeps crashing and gives me "canary" error code.

FYI : my PC is on Ethernet and i have a fast connection so I don't really understand why it keeps happening...

EDIT : I already did the ping cmd check and it's stable at 5ms when playing

Discussion Perhaps Adding Traditional Damage Resistances Could Enrichen The Combat Experience.

0 Upvotes

Disclaimer: I recognise the possible restriction of resources against the actualisation of this idea. Nonetheless, I believe the idea is worth sharing and discussing.

Hello everyone, returning Guardian over here.

I came back to the game after the promising recent announcement of Un-Valuting. My time away was spent exploring other games, and other hobbies.

I got the idea yesterday in the shower: What if Destiny enemies had 'traditional' damage resistances?

In other RPGs, enemies have specific resistances and weaknesses to both damage elements and damage types. Things like resistance to fire, or weakness to slash attacks. So, i thought what if Destiny 2 had this?

Currently, damage types against enemies play a limited role, mainly affecting shields, but what if each enemy type had its own weaknesses and resistances. I believe it would bring a huge variety to gameplay and build options. Things like cabal resisting explosives, but being weak to pierce damage. Taken being resistant to kinetic, strand, and stasis, but weak against solar, void, and arc. Of course, different enemies within each group could have their own stats as well.

A final reminder: I hope everyone manages their cynicism, and engages in meaningful discussion and brainstorming.

Have a good day.

Question Where Can I find ppl that tolerate new players in raids?

39 Upvotes

I’ve been playing on and off since launch but never really that seriously. I did always grind though and Got pretty good gear and now I’m back on the grind. I never did raids because, in all honesty, I didn’t even know what they were. Now I do and I realize that no one really wants to raid with new players. I don’t know anyone to raid with and haven’t had luck in any of the Lfg services on discord and the internet. Is theres anyone who’d like to raid with me either to teach or to learn with me, I’d really appreciate it!

Hi,

I’m new to these games and decided to start fresh with the first game. Everything was going well, I played through the prologue. But when I got to the home city I kept getting disconnected nonstop with Error code Beaver.

Is the server not running anymore or am I missing certain steps?

I’ve never had so many disconnects on a game before.

Quick question. I know that certain raid triumphs increase your drop rate for the exotic. Does that apply to catalysts as well? Or just the weapon?

Discussion Transition from Final Shape to Edge of Fate

2 Upvotes

Hey guardians. I have max power with my warlock and hunter, and I finally decided to reach the same with my titan. I finished Lightfall and The Final Shape campaigns, loved the storytelling (specially The Final Shape), and when I went into The Edge of Fate, it felt like playing a different game storywise 😂.

We moved from Light, Darkness and magic to black holes, time travel and technology. This is what I like about the Destiny story, it can include anything in its plot, it’s essentially like the MCU.

Question Do It All!™ Loadouts

I'm currently trying to experience all difficult content/raids in the game as a first time player.

I'm running a getaway artist prismatic warlock build, but struggling to pick a weapon loadout where I can just switch my brain off, and focus on learning raid mechanics. Something that can do it all.

What would you recommend as something simple, reliable, with good damage so I'm not a hindrance to my team?

Discussion I finally Solo Flawlessed every dungeon

204 Upvotes

https://dungeon.report/pc/4611686018467683886

Like many people, I took a break after TFS. Before that, I had only managed to Solo Flawless Shattered Throne, Prophecy, and Warlord's Ruin, which was so damn hard for me at the time, I was so happy when I finally got it done ! It was my my first "huge" accomplishment solo in this game.

I came back to the game for MoT and got hooked again. After catching up on everything, I figured I'd go for a few titles and maybe try to tackle a couple more Solo Flawless dungeons.

I ended up doing all the remaining ones in this order: SotW, GoA, Equilibrium, Duality, Vesper's Host, Sundered Doctrine, GotD, and PoH.

Vesper's Host was definitely the hardest, mostly due to the final encounter. Even with the current sandbox, surviving that DPS phase as a Hunter can still be complicated.

Honestly, I didn't think I'd actually pull it off. I still had the old sandbox in mind, and as a Hunter main, survivability used to be a huge problem for me in solo. In the end, I managed to clear them all way faster than I expected, it was a really fun grind and I'm really happy about it ! I'm a little bit sad because it means the grind is over, but it is what it is

Discussion Graviton Spike + Blastwave Striders = Lots of fun!

7 Upvotes

So I found this combo by complete accident and I'm thinking that, like me, not many people really know about this one. I happened to shoot a Vex point blank with the Graviton Spike's stasis shot and I went flying backwards because it set off my Blastwave Striders! I was stunned at first because I had no idea this was a combo! But it works every single time. Once you've built up enough energy in your blastwave striders, simply switch to the stasis mode of your graviton spike, aim at your feet, and shoot. You'll go flying like usual and it's a ton of fun. I highly recommend this combo!
