Just got back into destiny 2 haven’t played the game since they dropped it so you could say It’s been a couple years. Anyone wanna help a newbie 😭😭 I open game and I’m sooo confused 😅

like jolting feedback I get but focused fury is the one I’m scratching my head at like yeah I get the idea but still it’s the oddest choice

I've been trying to get the Harbinger seal since I never got it before, and I'm having a lot of trouble with Crota. I haven't had much trouble with any of the other nightmare hunt time trials, but the fact that you can only use the Hive swords to damage the boss is taking up a lot of time (on my last attempt I got to Crota ~3 minutes in and still couldn't kill him in time).

Is there a trick to doing more damage with the swords? Or is it just down to luck and hoping Crota doesn't bodyblock the swordbearer knight/the sword pickup?

I'm using Lament w/ Strongholds, which somewhat slows down the ad clear, but I haven't been able to reliably stay alive otherwise.

Edit: managed to get the time trial done solo, but I think I mostly just got lucky. The only thing I changed was swapping to Ember of Empyrean for sustaining thr Restoration ×2 effect and skipping over every ad that I didn't need to kill prior to the boss fight (I think you only need to kill the Nightmare enemies + champions to remove the progression barrier)

I've got all of the exotics that Rahool has, as well as many weapon exotics. But I don't have any raid or dungeon gear (only just got my friends into Destiny), and I'm slowly starting to notice the armor set bonuses.

My question is fairly simple: what are your must-have exotics, armor sets, weapons, etc for a competent raid-ready hunter? I'm using meta builds, but they're sort-of every-content builds, and I've never had a build where you switch weapons out mid-fight, between fights, etc. So I'm new to that concept. Is there anything I should always run (I'm aware of Tractor Cannon as one example of this)?

Maybe this question is too broad. If I had to boil it down, what are your must-have exotics, weapons, or armor sets, just because of how overpowered they are?

Hey all. I’ve been running onslaught to try to get Edge Transit. I’ve done it probably a dozen times with no drops. Am I farming in the wrong place. Any suggestions on how to get it.

Ive recently been into the game again. It’s so much fun. Anyone else been wondering about getting back on?

I don't know where else to post this but I want to get this off my chest lol.

I was doing an LFG master VoG where 4 of the players were all in a clan, so it was only me and another random person there, and the 4 clan mates were clearly kind of new. They knew the raid but weren't excellent at mechanics, which is perfectly fine, I was doing LFG to help new players anyway. But we wiped like 6 times at Templar because we would die during dps and not 1 phase, so I suggested one of the clan mates put on a better heavy (they had an arc lmg with no damage perks on) or even just some arc surges so we could clear the last little bit of health. I wasn't intending to be rude but they told me that this raid was easy and that I was clearly overthinking it, and for the rest of the raid they were ignoring my comms or saying it was my fault when we wiped when it wasn't. I did both solo mars and oracle's for atheon first try and said "GG nice comms" and they told me to work on my attitude so I snapped and told them to listen to advice if they are going to load into a master raid with a dog shit loadout but now I feel bad because I was new once too and they might've just been simply underestimating how much harder master is.

I don't know, this post is dumb and you can delete it if this is not the right place but I do just feel bad for telling them that they suck lol

Random musings from Shattered Throne

This morning I figure I’ll go solo for the “Kill Dul Incaru with Wish Ender and it’s been since just before Season of Black Armory (or whatever it was called lol) so I’m doing it from memory and a map of Erebus on my phone.

\- I have no memory of where or when the Ogres spawn on the thin platforms so I have never been so nervous doing that bit lol.

\- I’ve never been a fan of Lament because I didn’t understand how to effectively combo with it but I decided to look that up.

\- Getting Vorgeth to the damage phase wasn’t so bad, went to town with Lament and then struggled to get back to my starting position afterwards. I looked at his health and see that he almost dies. My new plan once I have done this is to complete its catalyst thanks to that success. A few runs later and I have the “Kill Vorfeth using one ignition” triumph.

\- I get to Dul Incaru with no plan other than Stormtrance on the Knights and the Psions (my usual) and then Whisper to lower her health and then switch to Wish Ender if I need a second phase.

\- This goes as well as expected as I do not account for the Knights shielding if I take too long, needing to cleanse the Finite Thought buff if I run out of time or even the existence of the Crystal and its use.

\- 10 deaths later after some trial and error and I got the Pallas Galliot ship. I thought I already had that lol.

Like I said, really random and probably pointless musings lol. I figured I’d post something something light hearted from this run.

Deleted then reposted for errors

EDIT after 2 hours: Thinking about making a separate Discord server so we can actually coordinate schedules, since a few people actually seem down for this. LMK if you'd want an invite.

EDIT 2: Here ya go! https://discord.gg/R7HpRExtx

I really want to experience a raid completely blind, just to feel that high i got while doing prophecy and figuring out the mechanics by ourselves.

I know the standard meta for contents nowaday is all about super efficiency and fast loot clears (which is totally valid), but Im specifically looking for the crowd that understand the heightttt of satisfaction when discovering new things, and also doesn't mind taking rest and multiple days between encounters.

Just finished a dsc raid with sherpas and, man, no offense to the sherpas, I was just in the wrong experience. Throughout the 3 hour run i was just bored out of my mind because the answers to every problem in every encounter were just spoken out loud. I felt a heavy sense of loss after finishing it, because it could have been a really good experience.

My username is: vexus676#4303

I usually duo this dungeon with a friend, neither of us exactly run anything "optimal", we've always used Sleeper Simulant which would work fine but the encounter would end up dragging on a fair bit. Looking for any suggestions on what to use instead to make the encounter less of a drag.

I usually run Solar Warlock w/ Well and Sanguine Alchemy, my friend plays Hunter.

I've heard something about Dawn Chorus and infinite ignitions but I have no idea what I'd need to run in terms of fragments, artifact perks, etc.

EDIT: Thanks guys, I'll try some of your suggestions out and see what clicks 😊

Turns out Blastwave Striders are insanely fun now. Anyone else make any cool discoveries like this?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a friendly clan or community to regularly play Destiny 2 with. My goal is to learn the dungeons and eventually the raids while having fun with a consistent group of people.

I’ve tried Discord and LFG, but I haven’t really found a regular group yet and to be honest I struggled with discord a bit. I’d love to find people who enjoy playing together, don’t mind teaching when needed, and are patient with someone who’s still learning some of the endgame content. I’m not trying to master every activity or speedrun everything—I just enjoy the game and want to experience more of it with good people.

A little about me:
Titan main (~528 Power)
Located in Japan (JST)
Usually play before work in the mornings or in the evenings
Happy to use a microphone, especially while learning mechanics

Once I know an activity, I’m also perfectly happy with a more relaxed, low-key run
I’m also the type of player who likes to stick with a group long-term and help others once I’ve learned the content myself.

If anyone knows of a clan that’s active during Japan/Asia hours—or even North American clans with members who play during those times—I would really appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks!

I was rewatching some cutscenes recently and I realized that I couldn't remember, off the top of my head, exactly how many times we saw the traveler do something directly, so I wanted to check with y'all to check my work in case I missed one

My current tally after thinking harder about it is 4/5 onscreen and 1 off screen but visible in-game.

- Red war: reawakens to annihilate Ghaul

- Season of Arrivals: repairs the damage from the red war

- Witch Queen: sends Immaru to resurrect Savathun (debated on this one, since all we see is Immaru coming from the direction of the traveler)

- season of the Seraph: moves from the last city into orbit

- lightfall: shoots the terraforming beam at the witness

- monument of Triumph: moves back into it's old position over the city(off screen but plainly visible)

Did I miss any? Anything that you think I should have included but forgot about?

By using the lost sector/full engram inventory glitch, you can open the engrams that went to your post box at the Neomuna post and they turn into the destination armour.

So pick your easiest and quickest LS anywhere, visit Neomuna and profit.

Edit: Also works in Pale Heart. I’ve previously tried in the Enclave and Kepler but got the same as what’s in the World pool (Tech Sec, Ferro, Swordmaster and Smoke).

For anyone new/returning like myself and you have the legally distinct lightsaber, the impact core is next to Aunor

Has anyone else been doing the Starcrossed exotic mission lately and just been absolutely shafted by RNG? I’ve had literally every single weapon from classic collector drop apart from Scattered Signal. I’m convinced my game’s bugged in some way…
