EDZ obelisk will finally be not broken and eververse will stop winking at me creepily every-time I visit the tower! Now I can only hope they will fix armor mod menu lag.

Team is investigating perf issues. We'll check with them on the menu load times.

I think they should really consider sending a popup message to players if someone they reported has been banned. Right now, people don't have a whole lot of faith in the anti-cheat, so letting them know it's working will massively improve morale and get people to actually report cheaters.

This is something we're discussing internally. We sent out some "a player you have reported has been removed" messages in the past. May happen again in the future, if we can!

u/dmg04 any update on wishender? I'm still confused if this is broken or intentional, and if not is a fix high on the priority list?

This will be fixed in next weeks update.

I fully understand this will bring some negative feelings to players, as they enjoyed the unintentional increase to damage. We've brought this feedback to the team, which could be considered for future updates when looking at Bows overall.

Again, not a promise, but wanted to give more info.

This week at Bungie, the Devils were reminded of their ruin.
Hello, and welcome back to your weekly roundup of Bungie and Destiny 2 related news. We’ve entered our final week of the Dawning, so get to baking if you haven’t already earned your Sparrows. You have through next Tuesday to complete as many double XP bounties as you can! Additionally, the Sundial has been kicked up a notch with a Legend difficulty. If you’re looking to get the Savior title or round out your Pinnacle power drops each week, get your fireteam together and challenge these Psions in the ways of old.
A new Exotic has also made its appearance, packing a little bit of Unstoppable heat, so to speak. Load up the Sundial and start your quest to acquire the Devil’s Ruin Exotic Sidearm.
We’re still warming up from our holiday hibernation, but we’re hitting the ground running! This week, we have an update from our Game Security team, an announcement for a fundraiser to help send aid to Australia, and news on a ... Read more

Hold up. Is this the first TWAB that doesn't start with "This Week At Bungie??

Editing snafu. Fixing shortly.

I occasionally run into players who macro either in crucible, usually rumble, and in strikes.

I don't see how y'all can fix that other than having something like "If player doesn't kill an enemy in five minutes then they get booted" or having a vote to kick option.

I do know after some changes in the Shadowkeep timeframe, Idling in Crucible/Strikes was reduced as players weren't getting rewards.

We'll check with the team to dig a bit deeper and see if more can be done.

Got my first ever sum of all tears from using it. I was shocked, since I'm not that great. The gun is great.

Pics or it didn't happen!

How frequently are you loading in solo? Do you find this is happening at any specific times, or randomly?

Thanks to all for the post and replies. The team has been digesting feedback concerning Solstice armor (from Year 1 and year 2). I don't have any specifics on status, but I can say that this will not be addressed this season, or next.

We'll continue to bring feedback to the team concerning Solstice armor/ornaments.

Loving this thread.

Keep it coming.

I love how ordeal is currently. Doesn't need a 100% revamp, but I always welcome improvements.

What do you find the most satisfying about your time playing Ordeals?

Got the above feedback from the OP, but would love to pair it with the strengths of the activity as well.

Thanks for the feedback. Will be sure to pass it along.

Do you have any other feedback on these consumables and their functionality?

Filing a couple bugs based off of these threads.

  1. Items move around in inventory when opening the dawning packages
  2. Some highly important items dismantle as stacks

Won't be addressed during this event, but we can work towards preventing these headaches in the future.

Now that we're getting back from holiday, we'll be planning a quick hotfix (potentially for next week) which will address this issue.

Stay tuned for the TWAB.

Oh, and before you ask, we're looking to address the EDZ Obelisk too!

A few have said this in comments below, but Xur still serves this function for new players of Destiny 2.

Each week, do you not feel excitement for the Exotic Engram that has the potential to grant armor at high stat rolls?

Thanks for the reply DMG. As I said in my post I understand that content is being removed because Destiny 2 can’t grow forever. Eventually we’ll get Destiny 3. But I just want you guys to know that “you had to be there” moments have always come from really cool missions, sometimes bugs, and general community joy. Those moments can’t be forced.

Thanks for the post! I didn't say it specifically (which I should have) - there is no intention to force these moments by removing content. We have things to improve on to make some of these moments more impactful. Wanted to provide the reasoning in case people had missed the previous posts.

Hey all,

Pulling the quote from our Season in Destiny 2's Third Year blogpost, where the "You had to be there when..." quote originates:

Doing this allows us to evolve the world—narratively, but potentially physically as well. It is not possible to keep Destiny frozen in place to allow all activities to live forever while also changing the world in meaningful ways. This strategy lets our team be agile and innovative. We believe that Destiny will grow even better when the world state can change, and that the best Destiny stories are the ones where “you had to be there when….”

I've bolded a piece to give it a bit more spotlight. There are technical and developmental limitations involved where we cannot continue to support an additional activity with every single release. When I say support, this could be translated as numerous things: supporting bug fixes every release if something comes up in a new patch, refreshing rewards to keep activities relevant/engaging, or even general ins...

Your Titan isn’t heavy. It’s that everything else is a lightweight around him.

Fueled by the rage of a thousand dawning cookies.

I absolutely love the sound design of Arbalest.

While you aren't able to bake any cookies for the Postmaster, what would you give them?

Think of this as an artist challenge. Draw something up, and we'll feature some picks on the Bungie twitter account.

Those who are featured will get a new Artist Emblem to boot.
