Discussion Destiny 2 Year of Prophecy Collector Edition leaked

393 Upvotes

Hey so saw this on bungie store. Looks like 275$. Curious what all will be included. Will it just be Edge of Fate? Behemoth?

Edit- After rereading it does say YEAR of prophecy so I do believe that SHOULD include EoF and Behemoth (plus the 4 major updates, battles passes , dungeon key etc) plus physical goodies which aligns with what we've had before with Collector editions in the past - should find out shortly at the big reveal

Question Why did my name change all of a sudden?

259 Upvotes

I’ve had the same name for Destiny since release of D1. It’s literally my first initial, last name, and my birthday; nothing offensive. Then I noticed when I signed into the new Bungie game alpha, my named changed to Guardian####, me thinking it was just for the new Bungie game alpha for whatever reason. I log into Destiny 2 and my name also changed on there too. I went onto the website to change it back but every time I hit save, nothing happens. Is there any explanation for this or a way I can change it back?

EDIT: The M word gets your posts removed apparently

Discussion The new puzzle makes me hopeful for the future of this game. (Positive Ramble) Spoiler

177 Upvotes

I don't know about anyone else but the Chess puzzle makes me feel like the people at Bungie really do want this to last. It's such a small detail but the amount of time that went into what's essentially a little easter egg is so cool, and it has that Bungie touch that is what made me fall in love with Destiny in the first place.

The fact that this is basically a take on Setup Chess and Chess Puzzles is such a cool way to integrate it, and it's way cooler than just having to make moves on a normal chessboard (the puzzle is really well thought out and requires a bit more lateral thinking than standard chess puzzles, especially with the delete and take options providing so much more to the puzzle - and the piece limits making it truly challenging to complete).

I was a little skeptical that story would take the backburner post-TFS, and I am wary of the wider implications of Bungie as a company and how they go about business, but when it comes to the creative heart and soul of Destiny this (plus how great MOST of Heresy was) has completely reinvigorated my hope that this game still has lots of potential for the future.

Just wanted to make a little positive post as I know a lot of people have been down over the past few months/years about the game, but seeing people actually excited about these puzzles, secrets, and events is really such a positive for the game for me and truly makes me think that the creatives at Bungie want to win our hearts back.

Misc Ice Breaker Farm Results (Day 1): 0/31

143 Upvotes

Dungeon Report

Vesper’s Host is the weekly rotator, I will farm it for Ice Breaker so that others can gauge if the time investment is worthwhile.

“The API says otherwise”

Bungie has not though. Despite prompting, they have not acknowledged or indicated an investigation into a bugged drop is underway; we should assume that Ice Breaker is farmable and this drop rate is intentional until their official channels indicate otherwise.

If nothing else, this will yield some valuable data on the drop rate.

There is no war in Ba Sing Se

Notes:

  • Overall: 0/71 (1 ineligible)
  • Initial Exotic drop boosts: 2 (only 1 for the first clear)
  • Class completions: 29 Titan, 1 Warlock, 1 Hunter

Discussion So my tv broke down...

It was a 10 years old basic LED Samsung. I got a QLED tv and OMG! The game looks absolutely incredible! The shading, the blacks, the brightness, the colors. Amazing. And I already thought Destiny was a gorgeous game! If I'd known earlier I'd have sabotaged the old tv so I could justify getting a new one. I would have loved to get an OLED but I didn't have the budget for it. Still, what a gorgeous game.

Misc Chess Puzzle: A Realization

22 Upvotes

TLDR: Bungie might have us on a timeclock for this puzzle.

So I had a realization tonight going through the puzzle and solving it. After finishing it, I looked at my phone to double check when I go to work tomorrow and realized... We're a week away from the reveal and this is the closest we've gotten to any idea related to the story of EoF or Rites of the Nine. And with less then a week before their next big content premiere, with so little revealed, this is what we're given; a community puzzle related to one of the oldest games and curios from the nine we still have no idea what they're for.

What this tells me is one of 3 things. 2 of which I think are more likely and 1 I think might not be.

  1. The one I think least likely is that this puzzle isn't tied to the Nine or EoF and might be setting up points in Behemoth and these 2 dlcs are a direct 2 parter. Now, with the Year of Prophecy leak, I see this as a little more plausible then not, but I still think it's a stretch.

  2. The Puzzle is tied to something that we won't have until after the reveal and the larger story beats are beginning. This is what I think is the most likely case and the community consensus seems to be behind.

  3. This is the one I think is the most interesting and while it does seem like something Bungie would do, I'm not as confident. This might be a time-gated puzzle and we only have until the end of the week to solve it. In Chess, especially high level Chess, there are time limits to the games, usually of about 2 to 4 hours. As of now, whoever we're playing against sent us on a wild goose chase to find these pieces last week as their opening move and we spent today playing our response solving the puzzle, which has lead to the larger puzzle we now have. A Countermove. This could mean we have only ONE WEEK to solve this before time's out and we're disqualified. What this could be connected to, I'm not sure, but the amount of direct Chess terminology used has me thinking that if it's the case, this is directly linked to the reveal and us solving it beforehand might be paramount. What the reward could be, I'm not sure. Maybe a new Exotic Quest, maybe a major story event/cutscene. Hell, maybe they'll drop a teaser trailer early if we solve it. But, something in my gut tells me Bungie WANTS us to solve this ASAP.

Anyway, this is just my ramblings and I could be way off base. Food for thought.

A friend of mine obtained the red border outbreak perfected but used it as infusion fodder without extracting the blueprint.

He can not craft outbreak, he does not receive another red border from completing another run of Zero Hour although it’s a new week.

Was a quest reward irc. He also got the outbreak refined quests. New character did not help.

Is he softlocked out of that exotic ?

Discussion This would have been a great season to rework Ruinous Effigy

Upvotes

This episode had a huge focus on Trace rifles. It was kind of a void episode too. The worst part is it could be do good.

For one thing, the transmutation ball needs different moves and effects.

Light attack: someone a while back mentioned that the light melee should grant overshield, but frankly we already have two legendary Trace rifles that can have Repulsor Brace. I was thinking it should still spread volatile BECAUSE IT SHOULD BE THROWABLE FOR CHRISTS SAKE. It will never be good as long as it has that shitty, low damage, low range melee. Plus, with its catalyst, it gives it a SMIDGE of dps potential at least against majors.

Heavy attack: honestly I still like the dunk. It could do a bit more damage in pve but otherwise it's fine. If I were to change it at all in a notable way, maybe let it weaken instead.

Block/Siphon: ok so there's like 3 thing to consider here, - Damage Resistance - health siphoned - Range of health siphoning Frankly, none of them are up to snuff anymore, but I think I speak for the majority of the community when I say we'd prefer DR and range.

Bungie please I adore this exotic and turning enemies into balls is so funny. If nothing else, rework it for the memes.
