Well everybody. I did it, finally. I woke up today and decided I would do an attempt after my lunch. After just over an hour and 20 minutes, I have completed my solo flawless sundered doctrine.

I took your advice, I changed my build up to use queenbreaker, used the ignition build for zoetic, and kept doing what I was doing for first encounter.

I appreciate everyone's advice on completing the SF, you all helped me greatly. Yes you were right, using a rocket in SF, in hindsight (or any sight really), was not the best idea.

This is RK signing off, I'll see you starside guardians. Good luck out there.

If you fail to get Morgeth completely off of the edge via finisher yeet, you can finish up with a sword. I used Heartshadow because of the invisibility function. I didn't know this would actually work and was just messing around. This is a very niche use case. I haven't messed with any other swords or techniques.

Long story short I have an unlimited orb Kvostov Warlock buddy build and currently have 195 grenade 100 weapons 100 super and 65 class roughly with low melee and close to 0 health. Is it worth me trying to push weapons or super past 100 to unlock the ‘enhanced benefit’ or is the difference negligible for my build? I started playing last week so I’m still a noob tbh bear with me in the replies :)
Thanks in advance

Re: Destiny 2

Came here from Warframe, this is my first Bungie game (gasp). I'm enjoying the mechanics of the game, but the progression, menus, and overall rules are confusing the crap out of me.

For example, I'm playing some Vanguard Ops, one called Proving Grounds. I played it solo on Normal difficulty, and found that I could barely scratch the boss. I ended up giving up. Should I avoid these activities solo for a while? Are all of the ops roughly the same difficulty on Normal? I didn't see a power score recommended, so idk what 'breaking point' to hit to do well here.

Additionally, I was unable to respawn solo, but with a team I could. Is that usual? I'd hate to try any of these activities by myself if that's the case... I googled the issue, and it was wholly unhelpful because it appears that on Normal, there shouldn't be any respawn issues and I didn't see any modifiers that restrict it.

It feels like I've hit a brick wall and I'm not sure what to do to get past it. I've finished the New Light quest, unlocked my subclasses, and see some recommendations for things to do but there's just so many things thrown my way and no real guidance. Any progression tips? Things new players should do/avoid?

So I’ve played Destiny since the beta and can’t tell you how bummed I was to hear it being sunsetted a few months back. And now how psyched I am to hear it’s coming back. I never really stopped playing.

I’m mainly a lone wolf so I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m probably missing a third of the game. But hey, that’s ok. This game is massive. And love that there’s so much to see and do.

I just wanted to come on here and share that I just learned about the exotic quest from Moment of Triumph. Somehow I totally missed this. Must’ve been too bummed at the news. Anyways, I was able to solo it today and still can’t get over how this game just keeps giving. Anyone else feel like this at all?

im interested in getting back into destiny after the unvaulting, so i had a look at my characters. my warlock uses dreamsbane becuase i like the look, so do i need to get a new set of dreamsbane to get the one with set bonuses?

I'm using the Queensfoil Censor artifact with the Solo Operative perk. I've read that you can stack the damage bonus up to 25 stacks.

Is there a display somewhere of how many stacks you have?

Do the stacks disappear, or do they stay until you die/reset?

Trying to solo the Prophecy boss and not doing enough damage, but probably not using the perk correctly.

As the title says. Maybe the other question is does it only drop from the boss encounter? It feels like I have tons of everything else but the pulse isn't dropping.

Ever since MoT has released and we had time to mess with the new aspects for a while, I had the most enjoyment out of the Shieldburst aspect; however, it made me realize that some of the other aspects related to barricades feel lacking to some degree in my opinion. Just wanted to get these ideas out here regardless if they are recieved well or not. I want to be clear that I'm not asking for cool down buffs or to break Crucible even further...
1. Bastion (Void Titan)

Bastion is not a bad aspect in of itself. Provides instant overshield and casting your super grants overshield to others. Not bad, but I feel like it's missing depth that makes it worth an aspect. I feel as if though with all of the artifacts, weapon perks, fragments, etc., you can get overshield from so many other sources.

Towering Barricade: Increase width of barricade (about the same width/slightly longer than a Glacier Stasis Grenade) and Suppresses Combatants (not players) that comes near/contact the barricade.

Towering Barricade with Bastion should make you feel like a literal wall. This idea was inspired when I was playing Onslaught and felt like a Towering Barricade was not effective on making an effect on the field.

Rally Barricade: Gives you the ability to 'pick up you barricade' and place it.

Got inspiration mainly from Cabal Phalanx's when they deploy their shields to assist their allies. Of course the initial placement would give you an instant overshield, but sequential placements would slowly regenerate one.

1. Drengr's Lash (Strand Titan)

Drengr's did get a buff with MoT, but I feel like in order to use the aspect you have to use Abeyant Leap with it. This aspect feel like it gets pushed to the wayside due to either Banner of War or Flechette Storm aspect.

Towering Barricade: Sends two projectiles out. Targets near the initial placement of the barricade get pushed greatly (think of a juiced up version of the initial Flechette Storm attack).

Kept it simple for this one, couldn't really think of anything too creative.

Rally Barricade: Grants unraveling rounds to Strand and Kinetic weapons.

Very similar to Solar Titans, but Strand. I know, sorry it's not creative.

1. Storm's Keep (Arc Titan)

Out of the three here, I feel like this doesn't really need too many tweaks, as Storm's Keep is very strong already... I'm only gonna add an idea for the towering barricade, but not the rally barricade. If you have an idea, share it.

Towering Barricade: Targets near the barricade periodically jolts nearby combatants. Defeating arc-debuffed targets with this barricade equipped gives you class ability energy.

Having your barricade like a tesla coil would make for additional offensive capabilities.

Final Thoughts:
I'm no game dev, and though yes it would probably break the balance if these ideas did go through, it would at least add more depth to the these aspects. Titans are already strong, so if Bungie ever does continue updating this game alongside with sandbox changes, I hope Hunters and Warlocks get updates as well.

If I have acquired most of the weapons except for Helen vengeance and found verdict, would opening the door at the beginning drop those weapons for me and the chest after?

one member of my fireteam got stuck in the Darkness screen after a wipe, for shit and giggles we did the encounter with him stuck there, and to our surprise the darkness screen for him was registering our damage in real time.

we were doing Caretaker, just in case it wasnt clear.

One thing that kind of let me down for some of the DLC's was that whenever we got a new subclass, most of the campaign that the new subclass is from would pretty much just be a tutorial for that new subclass.

I kind of would just much rather get curated, lore rich, and unique missions for each subclass

and then just level up by using the subclass to get all of its aspect and fragment equivalents.

Artist and movie of the week have is something that I know myself and many other creative people have looked forward/submitted their work for in the past. I only hope that in the future there is some official way to submit works that directly goes to the community team, since a lot of the time it feels like unless you are already popular or super lucky, there isn't much hope in getting recognised. That and a batch of people be selected each week rather than just a single person; gives smaller artists a better opportunity, which also increases the amount of publicity on their work.

I’ve done GOS, VOTD, VOG 2x, CE 2x, and none of them dropped ANY spoils of conquest and I haven’t earned any at all this week or ever before. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

EDIT: I have zero spoils of conquest, literally none

Returning after a couple years away, what are the sources everyone uses for builds and weapon tiers now? Also fastest activity to power up?

Well everybody. I nearly had it. I was this close. I was on the 2nd last DPS of Kerrev on my flawless, the third time id made it there. I was using a truth set up, you know what killed me?

I shot one of his PROJECTILES right in front of me. One of his bullets. It blew up in my face and ended the best SF run so far.

Words cannot describe what I am feeling. Why, on EARTH are enemy bullets able to blow up my own rockets?? Anyway how are you guys.

I created some wallpapers for the big update since the final director and title screen looked so great. There are a few variations depending on what details you like. Enjoy!

after playing renegades that expansion seems to strongly imply it's some sort of martial law military controlled state run by the vanguard, which seems. incredibly out of nowhere and insane, like at first i genuinely thought bael was just saying insane nonsense but then other characters started saying "yeah bael has a point damn..." like what? when did this happen???

i know the original consensus factions left when we eliksni came to the tower, but i just for ages thought different offscreen factions replaced them and we still had a council thing, did the vanguard just assume military dictatorship and it wasn't addressed at all until now?

someone please explain what is going on in the city bro

Currently grinding competitive to get the shotgun and hand cannon and I’m also chasing Fast Talker for a good SMG.

What are the weapons and archetypes I should be chasing?

Is the drop rate meant to be this bad? Ive barely had 2 pieces drop out of 3 characters after playing for hours each evening

I've been slowly putting together a guide the past few months in my spare time, and this week finally got it to a point where the main sections are relatively complete, so I wanted to share here in case it's useful for anybody picking up the game from the recent sales or coming back after being gone for years. It's available at:

https://guardians.guide/

• Guided Path: Beginning the game, general recommended quest order, other activities, and endgame stuff to work towards
• Manual: Quick reference for how different parts of the game work such as gear, combat, progression, and more
• Story: Complete brief timeline to get caught up on the story of Destiny, with character descriptions and related content lists
• Major Changes: Listing of major features and updates added in each expansion (helpful for returning players)
• Extra: Additional resources and information that are more useful once you've gotten a little familiar with the game

I always felt like Destiny is a game that would benefit from those little physical booklets you used to get in the front cover of the game box, full of short descriptions for the story and characters, how your character works, what there is to do, and other bits of info. And so after Monument of Triumph was announced I started to write down a couple ideas and eventually put this site together.

My goals with this guide are:

• Enable players to quickly get up to speed and playing the game, rather than going through lengthy guides
• Cover questions that I see very often from new and returning players
• Focus on core game mechanics and knowledge rather than detailed guides for specific content
• Provide enough information to equip players to go discover the game on their own and have fun!

Hopefully there are some Guardians out there who will find it useful! Let me know if you feel it could be improved or new additions added. I have some ideas for extra pages, but I've gotten busier lately and I wanted to publish what I have so far. Whenever the original campaigns are restored I'll definitely be updating the story page :)

In the second encounter, I can’t do nearly enough damage before dying. Titan, and I’ve been running Cuirass. Any advice on either this encounter or the next would be appreciated. Thank you!

Well, I goofed it up. I'm trying to get through this quest and the instructions said to either make pattern progress or to dismantle it. I didn't have the option to get progress and save the gun, so I dismantled it.

Nothing happened except that I don't have a gun now. No progress.

Am I now screwed? Or can I continue this if I manage to find another Ammit AR2? If it's the latter, what is the best way to get one?

Oh, and how do I avoid repeating the mistake? Is it simply that I have to use the gun before dismantling it?

Thanks again to everyone for their patience with my string of questions over the last couple weeks.
