This week at Bungie, all eyes are on Stage 7.
Time and time again, this community humbles us. A few weeks ago, you were challenged with the Empyrean Foundation, requiring billions upon billions of Fractaline donations to light a beacon of hope. You’ve strategized your investments, brought riches to our dear friend Spider, and smashed six goals faster than we could have imagined. Here’s an update on your shared progress:

Whether you’ve been donating or investing, this has been a community-wide effort from the get go. Your combined efforts are paving the way to success. Soon, the final Triumph for the Savior title and a fancy new shader will be available for everyone, and it’s all thanks to you.
Now, let’s shift gears. A few weeks back, we promised some Sandbox previews leading up to Season of [Redacted]. Let’s get to it.

This week, we’re putting the magnifying glass on weapons. While Swords were given a bit of an overhaul in functional... Read more

I imagine this strike ending poorly for your Guardian, and their ghost...

Note to self: Never play D2 directly after a patch drop again.

editit: bungo patched telesto, but it put railjack into d2

Note to self: Never tweet about “minor hotfixes” directly before a patch drop again.

Dawnblade?

2.7.1.2

This hotfix was already in the pipe. Another is being spun up for Dawnblade specifically.

Stay tuned to @BungieHelp for a timeline.

This Week at Bungie, we’re calling in reservations. 
It’s been a wild week in Destiny 2. Inotam, Oblivion’s Triune, made their grand entrance into the Sundial. Guardians descended upon Mercury, weapons in hand, eager to protect the timeline from certain annihilation. While you’ve prevented the Psions from changing history, this isn’t the last trial you’ll face - not by a longshot.

The first three Empyrean Foundation goals have been met with haste. One billion Fractaline isn’t enough for the Foundation, and the next goal is currently in reach. Your next stop: 2.2 Billion Fractaline donations.
We knew you’d rise to the challenge, but this? This is absolutely insane. Keep that Fractaline coming. We’re seeing quite a few Guardians investing in their Fractaline futures, but many hitting the donation button to quickly earn some sweet Timelost weapons.
The final triumph for the Savior Seal will be completed once the community completes the seventh stage of thi... Read more

Hey all,

Speaking with the team, this ghost has a %5 drop chance from the boss chest, and you should get it after 40 clears. There is one caveat - the bad luck protection on this is shared with the Dungeon ship. If you've recently had the ship drop, it would have reset your chances for the ghost.

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no ...

Looks like we don't have anything available server side to alleviate this.

Will be sure to pass the feedback along. I do not believe a Hotfix will be spun up for this issue specifically, so get ready to spend some time hitting that donate button.

I'll be right there with you. Future events, we'll be sure to avoid this as well.

Hey dmg, is the hologram showing community progress mentioned in the most recent twab going to be a later thing, or is it a known issue that it doesn't seem to be there?

Check again. First stage is complete, and the hologram is now visible when visiting the Tower.

I'm not seeing myself on this list. I would be careful in saying that it represents all guardians, as players may look to tally up what information you've collected to project the current status of donations.

Cheers!

You submit this to the creations page yet?

I believe an artist emblem is in store.

Throw me a link to your Bungie.net profile.

It all started when my brother and I really wanted a playstation 4. (Age 16). We kept trying to think of ways to convince our father to buy us one. Eventually we came across the Destiny playstation 4 bundle. It was all white. We thought it was so awesome. But we had never even heard of "Destiny". We did some research and decided "eh I guess this game is cool".

When I was 11, my older brother and I got an Xbox as a gift, and eventually Halo. We'd jump in weekly (sometimes nightly) for some crazy campaign fun. Loved reading this and remembering those times. He just started playing Destiny 2 recently, and has been pinging me every so often about the fun he's having as a Titan. We really need to get a game night in soon...

Honestly, games rise and fall for some folks. There are many games that I spent hundreds of hours on as a kid that I don't play anymore, which is perfectly alright in my book. I'll hold many of those memories close. The friends I made along the way, some I consider...

Thanks for the feedback! As with other feedback concerning Firing Range style requests, I'll be sure to note this on the list.

I can say at a glance, this may be a little more complex due to the way Guardians take damage, or other variables you may find in Gambit or the Crucible.

What resilience value? Are they in Super? Do you only wish to see damage numbers, or have a Guardian moving so you can see how difficult it would be to apply damage to a walking/running target? Should Power be enabled to replicate Gambit/Iron Banner, or simply a Guardian taking damage in normal Crucible?

To look at this from a development perspective as well, what is the problem you're trying to solve? Do you believe work should be dedicated to this over other sandbox balancing or features? Do you believe a large amount of players would use this feature, or would it primarily be for content creators? Can players snag a friend and do these tests quickly on their own, or just take a weapon into Crucible as d...

Thanks for your report of the cheese. We'll be sure to pass it along.

Is there an easy-ish way to farm Fractaline?

Complete activities. Do weekly bounties. Do St14 bounties.

Can we get an actual fix for Mortar blast?

We have a bug filed that needs to be investigated. Looks like this fixed touched a few instances, but it's still occurring frequently.

I can't wait for the max community obelisk completion to be an old mission with a "new" boss like the Vex gate we built. Had to be there.

Edit: sorry, we don't get a new mission, we just get a shader! It's totally worth it now.

Max reward is the shader, as noted in the TWAB.

Goal is to be back up by 7pm Pacific.

Stay tuned for updates - @BungieHelp is your best friend on days like today.

I'm really interested in what caused such a major bug to happen. Is there a chance of getting an explanation/post-mortem or is it too revealing?

It's a possibility. Looks like a bug fix for something fairly unrelated had a ripple effect throughout your inventory space.

Team is digging deeper on proposed fixes. Stay tuned for updates.

Any indication of what the impact to player inventories / consumables will be?

Will we lose things, or when we login will we be back where we were before the update, or something else?

Goal is to restore lost items. We have a bit to get through before we make any promises or present timelines.
