Where did you go to sign up for bungie promo stuff?
On your bungie.net profile, go to your settings page. Once you've verified your email address, there are checkboxes for various types of emails you can choose to receive from Bungie. I think news and promos like this are the first option on the list, if I recall correctly.
You can also be signed up by giving your email address when you first start playing Destiny 2 and then responding to the verification email that will be sent to you.
I heard/hope that Bungie are doing some work to get this back down closer to the 30s mark.
Work to improve the way throttling the api works is definately on the todo list. Right now it is not as fine grained as we need it to be, so we often have to make limits tighter than we really want them to be. There is also a technical limitation with how bungie.net caches data that greatly limits a lot of our flexibility in available solutions to scalability problems (which directly affects rate limits). That limitation is one of my highest priorities to fix, but it is a really low level problem that touches every aspect of the code, so it is taking a while.
Read moreI’ll look into using the Xbox lfg system, thanks for the help!
In order for the companion lfg to work, you must sign into the companion using the same login you use on your Xbox. There are some ways around this if you're using cross save, but if you're not, you need to make sure you're signing into bungie.net with your xbox live account that you use to sign into the game with.
DIM is superior to the companion app in every way.
Thanks to our robust API support, there are lots of great alternatives to the companion app that replace all or some of its functionality. Such apps can very specifically focus on certain aspects to the exclusion of everything else, and innovate in those areas, and are often very good. DIM is a great one, so is Ishtar Commander. We've been looking into ways to better highlight these efforts in our companion and website so people can know about them. The official app will remain as the "entry point" generalist tool, but we want to spread to word about all the great work our community does with our API.
Read moreI cant send / receive invitations through the LFG section on the app, which results in people booting me / leaving from the list
Make sure you haven't set your privacy options too tightly. Especially on PS4, you can set your system privacy settings so tightly so you can't send/receive invites except with your friends.
Would it be possible/easier to add some functions to the API protocol that tie into bungie.net's find fireteam feature? I think the main issue is that there's just too many LFG systems out there that are all disconnected from each other. If they could all tie into the same database, it would make things so much more easy.
Most of the fireteam functionality is in the API. However, due to platform restrictions of Xbox and PSN (you need the auth token for them, which you don't have on the 3rd party apps), we can't expose the invite functionality in the API. So, you can build fireteams, but not send invites like the companion app does for consoles. Eventually, we hope to build something that doesn't need to route through the consoles' services that would work for Steam as well, but that is a long term project.
What platform are you on? It seems like the xbox in game lfg is the defacto standard there and the destiny 2 lfg discord is the one for pc. I don't know how playstation players operate lol
In general, the companion LFG is best for PS4, Xbox has their dashboard LFG (though the companion LFG still works well), and Steam users are probably using Discord, because the companion app can't auto-join you on steam. I hope to eventually find a solution that brings all of the platforms to parity, but that is a much longer term project.
After managing your inventory (which can be done directly in the app or by using the official API via DIM or other 3rd party apps), it is our most popular feature by far.
We would like to help more, but part of the problem is there's like 4 clicks through menus to report a post:
- Click on the post.
- Click to report.
- Click on the dropdown to select the reason.
- Click the submit report button.
It shouldn't take that long, that's bad UX for a common problem. Often you see multiple posts and it's a lot of work to report each one.
Make it easy for people to report.
We need 1-click reporting for $$$ solicitations/spam, and put it on the main listing page, not in a subpage.
Getting the reason wrong doesn't matter, the act of reporting matters more.
However, you bring up a good point - feedback on the systems that allow us to see nefarious actors is very helpful too. UI feedback, and also descriptions of patterns that you see people attempting to use to hide their intention is useful too. Sometimes you can see those better than us, since you're the ones being targeted by people attempting to solicit you.
Huh, wonder where I got that from then. Could have sworn I saw something in the app say so but I guess not
The app says so but it isn't technically required. But there are a lot of ways join can fail if you're in an activity. For example, a particular instance (like the tower) can only have so many players in it, so a join will fail if you try and invite people and there is no space.
So we just simplified the instructions to say "be in orbit". It makes the asynchronous nature between the app and the game state much easier to deal with for all involved.
Pretty sure this is from the bungie.net issues they had yesterday and had to take it offline or something. Log out/in should help buy maybe there’s still some residual stuff going on
We had to forcibly sign everyone out yesterday, and that sometimes doesn't work all that well depending on the app - sometimes you'll get in a weird state where your app will think it is signed in but it really isn't. We'll try to improve that in the future in case we have to do that again.
When this bug was discovered last week, we on the bnet team decided that this is officially the best font/unicode bug ever.
It will get fixed soonish, though.
FYI: You can also use bungie.net PGCRs to report players if you miss the chance to do so in game. Sign into bungie.net, use the nav to go "Game History", switch to "Crucible" to filter to all your PvP games (for example). The various tabs for each game will have player names and their stat value for that item. You can click on the player name and hit "Report Player". This will enable a UI that will build a report exactly as if you did it in game and send it to the same place.
Reported games help supplement our automatic scanning systems - the more data we have, the more effectively we can remove cheaters.
Of course, the contact form works too.
Read moreBungie.net's Find Fireteam tool will also display the Steam ID. Soon, API users will have access to see the Steam ID as well (since Steam doesn't have unique names like the other platforms), so your favorite LFG app can easily translate Steam IDs to/from Destiny Account Ids.
Yeah, it should be your new steam ID, so you dont need to see your numbers for it EDIT: I guess it doesnt change anything for in game in destiny, so that makes no sense
You can't change your numeric SteamId. The thing in the Steam profile you can change (other than your display name) is the profile URL.
I....... I feel like this needs to be elaborated on. Can’t just say you got kicked in the chest without telling a story. And saying you got kicked by a horse is also a scenario worth describing.
But this..... this sounds like the center of the most perfect Venn diagram containing events that I need to hear more about.

Story time: Neither of the anesthetics worked. Second attempt, we waited just a little bit but I was still coherent. I ended up just saying “bring it on, just do it”
The doc said it would feel like a horse kicking me in the chest. I have never had a horse kick me in the chest, so... bam.
Pain was instant, but quick. The pure joy of hearing my heart at the right beat and seeing my EKG all green overrode any other feeling in my brain.
Note: I have had a horse kick me in the chest, and from experience I can tell you it hurts quite a lot. So... good that it worked the first time. Stay healthy!
I have both my battle.net and PS4 accounts linked to my bungie account. I want to make my PS4 characters my main cross save profile, but it's only allowing me to choose the battle.net one, which I only have a few hours on. Is anyone having this issue?
Be sure you have the correct accounts linked - you may not have the PS4 account linked that you think you do. A good way to check is to sign out of bungie.net and sign in using the same login and password you use on your PS4. If it asks you to create a new profile or if it doesn't log you into the same profile as your battle.net account, then you need to fix the account links.
This will be fixed when the build that support Cross Save is deployed on the 21st. Or, you can go to your linked account settings and make sure all your accounts are marked as public (check "display on public profile" on each linked account in your bungie.net settings) if you need a work around now.
To be clear - nothing is actually being migrated today. You're just linking your Steam account so that we have a place to send your Blizzard stuff when we do the migration right before Shadowkeep is available. It also puts you in a good place in case you're Cross Saving tomorrow, so everything will just work as you expect on October 1st without having to come back to bungie.net that day and mess with some settings to get access to your Blizzard characters on Steam when you just want to go check out the Moon.
So its asking me to confirm for transfer. However, i only have 2 guardians right now, if i were to create a new guardian now, after confirming transfer will the new guardian also transfer over?
The PC Move display is just showing you what you have right now. If you create a new character, it will still be brought over when the move actually happens. Remember, the actual migration from Blizzard to Steam doesn't occur until Shadowkeep releases, you're just linking a Steam account so we know what Steam account you will be using to play Destiny 2 on.
