Destiny General Discussion Thread

If the game can't be saved, will Bungie just play it out for the next year or so and knock the game on the head?

They have a contract with Activision, so they can't give up on Destiny anytime soon.

I don't think they can ignore Destiny 2 if Destiny 3 is going to be a thing - they need to win back fans before Destiny 3 or it could be dead in the water.

They need to be active over the next few months to see and respond to what people aren't liking - talking from end game stuff down to things like the new Coldheart thing being OP in Crucible (that needs to be fixed with a hotfix immediately - that is trials destroying sh1t right there).

Maybe Destiny 2 can't be saved (I disagree, I think there are many obvious things they could do that would have a huge impact) but they have to try their very best to save it - regardless of the outcome. Financially, contractually, they just have to.

lol bye pvp

I was just thinking it would be great if they brought Y1 Vex Mythoclast back - well I guess they did :pac:

I hope they don't nerf it tbh, nice to have a powerful gun again. Just pull it out of PvP availability.

I heard there is a Red Death HC.. That true?
Anyone got it / seen it?

Decent?

That shoots in a 3 burst.

So it was a pulse the looked like an auto.

Now its a pulse that looks like a hand cannon.

Yup, got it last night. Been using it in pve, the perks are good allright, regen and precision reloads a bit.

Raid Lair is open from 5pm on Friday.

The heroic adventure is a bit of a tough slog with momentum.

Now to do it all again with my titan

Obviously some of you will have figured this out already but after a lot of looking I figured out how to trigger the heroic public event on mercury, when you get shot across to the island and kill the yellow bar, a oracle type entity spawns at back of map, kill it to form a platform, keep killing them to make more platforms and jump to top stand on plate to trigger heroic.

Heroic is boss has a shield and take it down by killing enemies to spawn yellow bar, kill yellow bar and slam the charge it drops onto big tower in center.
Rinse repeat.


And also I haven't figured it out yet but some kind of puzzle in brother vanes room with interactive books.

Puzzle in Vances room is for the golden chest behind the barrier under the walkway.
There's 5 books with glowy symbols you need to examine in order:

In the center, to the left of Vance.
From the entrance, to the back-right along the library shelves.
From the entrance, go left and it's behind a brazier
End of the long table on the right of the room
Up to the right of the forge wall thing, jump to reach it

If you get them all in time you'll see something about a decryption conflux, over near that round table.
Scan that and you get to the chest for some tokens and possibly a legendary engram

I do think I see what the bug in the heartburn is though.... I think it has been given the damage off the very similar looking laser grid lines at the end of the Strike vs the Cabal boss. Those yokes melt when you go near them, I reckon there is something going on with the damage output on them.

Tried one of them last night - the one with the Fallen. Only made it off the platforms with a second or two left on the timer. must be something else for the timer (exotic quest?) but took me an age to then kill the captain. His shotgun yoke was MELTING me every time I got near him. Didn't have the patience for trying another one - I can only imagine the one with the cabal fella running away will just prove to much for my sanity. I remember him being irritating when playing it on normal - the thought of trying to put enough DPS on him in Heroic.... UGH.

That's the one I tried, figured it was the easiest out of the three, the Cabal fella can f off for now, same with the hive.

Took forever to kill him, as you said, anytime I got close enough to shoot, he's murder me with his gun so I'd have to leg it to get some health back.

Deffo not a solo thing if you want to get that timer.

Apparently tonnes of people are getting refunds for base game because an achievement that was available in vanilla is now locked behind a pay-wall with dlc!

Let's see how long it takes bungo to fix that mess

That's the achievement for the prestige raid/nightfall isn't it?
Bit cheeky of them, although was reading on Reddit that they did similar in D1

On the Cabal-centric Heroic Adventure, you don't need to kill the big fella to successfully complete it. If you don't kill him by the last checkpoint, he swans off and 2 yellow bars (One with the gas tanks on his back and one of the jumpy sword feckers) spawn with reinforcements. Kill these 2 and you complete the adventure and get the chest. It's how I got that part of the Milestone done. I was hanging back because fcuk Momentum and he'd gone before I knew it.

Did not know that, I thought you had to catch the tanky bastard or you had to restart, that's why I didn't go near it.

Up to 313LL now so they might be a bit easier, thing I was only 305 when I tried first.

On another note, the material gathering for the prophecy cube things is painfully slow.

Speaking of heroic adventures myself and dude did the one where you have to chase down the cabal lad. But I can't pick up the other 2 it says already active. What's the story there? Nothing showing up on map.
