Thanks for the post.

The team is well aware of this feedback, and will be putting more focus on deterministic ways to acquire seals in the future. In other words, less luck, more accomplishment.

Cheers!

Hey all,

Wanted to clear up some confusion and misinformation: Invitations of the Nine will function differently than your weekly Queen ritual. These are character based, and not calendar gated. In other words, if you miss a week, you won’t miss any unique lore. At most, you’d pick up where you left off after the following reset, and could continue the 9 week cycle.

We won’t be diving too deeply into the mechanics on this. We’re excited to see your reactions as this unfolds.

Thank you! <3

Dawdling outside the entrance to a Gensym lab, the man tucked a green coin into a pocket of his newly-acquired duster, and then checked to make sure his Obsidian Mind was sealed shut. He fiddled with the clasps of the helmet as a technician carrying a clipboard hurried up to the door. She stepped inside, and he followed on her heels. The doors almost caught him as they slid shut, and the tech noticed, turning around to take stock of him.
“How you livin’?” The man said in a deep, modulated voice as he shouldered past her.
“Creep,” the tech muttered, and walked the other way.
The man stopped to check a listing of room schedules on a monitor at the front desk, then continued down the hall into the darkness of Lab 3.
Inside, the Praxic Warlock Aunor stood under a constellation of holographic projections anchored in the air around her.

She saw the man out of the corner of her eye, and nodded her head slightly.
“Warlock,”... Read more
Ikora Rey stepped into Lab 3, followed by Ophiuchus. “If that idiot thinks we don’t recognize him—”
“It would be easy to empty a shotgun in his back and wait for his Ghost to show up,” Aunor interrupted. “It must be close by.” She stared hard at an image of Cayde’s final moments.
“We’ve been through this, Aunor,” Ikora said, looking purposefully at Aunor instead of the array of displays and screens. “The Vanguard needs him. How many times have you checked this data?”
“Seventeen. In my off-hours. I needed to know if I could trust the Guardian that let Cayde die.”
Ikora was silent for a moment, then she said, quietly, “Not ‘the’ Guardian. Guardians plural. Zavala and I are just as—”
“Culpable, yes. You didn’t let me finish. We lost Cayde on a random Tuesday. And you all just took that Guardian’s word for it? One who’s had less than a decade of service?” Aunor turned, bathed in the layered light of the holograms. Arc energy hummed in ... Read more

The UI/UX and interface is fantastic, you have some master artists and engineers to create what was linked here DTG reddit a few months ago: Destiny 2 UI + Visual Design

I'm going to go further and commend the Bungie API team for allowing the infrastructure and engineering for 3rd Party applications like DIM, Destiny Sets, DestinyTracker, Lowlidev, Destiny Checklist, and more to thrive.

Being able to swap characters all the while shovelling all your good gear onto the new swap during the loading screen using DIM, or checking Guardian Raid stats on-the-fly is done subconsciously but I took a few minutes the other day to really appreciate how many API-empowered apps makes Destiny a fantastically streamlined experience.

Big S.O. to /u/EdgarVerona and the team he works with.

Ah, sorry for the long delay in response - I just got back from my honeymoon and I'm catching up on posts now! Thank you, we appreciate it! <3

It's honestly a non issue. People just like complaining.

Edit: lol damn talk about triggered

It’s valid feedback- when running solo, it can be rough to see what subclass your team mates are running, especially if they switch things up throughout the strike.

What about being able to mass-buy Shaders in Collection? I mean, if I'm gonna pimp my armor how likely is it that I just want one?

It's also a Glimmer sink, but it takes a very long time of boring holding a button to actually get rid of any sizeable amount.

We do have a minor QOL fix for that on Tuesday- acquiring shaders should be as fast as dismantling them.

Right now, it takes 3 seconds to snag one shader from the collection. Tuesday, this will be changed to 1 second.

Known issue! Team is working on a fix.

I’ll file a QOL bug on Monday to see if this can be changed. Losing a full stack of Enhancement Cores due to a mistake is a terrible experience that we should try to prevent. No idea on ETA for a change, if one can be made.

In terms of shaders, dismantling them gives you a payout- legendary shards, bright dust, glimmer. If you dismantled a stack of 999, or if you and a few other people in the tower did at the same time, there would be potential for issues to arise.

Can’t get into the specifics of how the system works, but that’s the gist of it.

(I honestly don’t know exactly how everything on the backend works, there are way smarter people who work on that!)

I believe that will still be the case. Feedback has been sent to the team on this.

If you saw minor updates to challenges, what would you want changed?

Hey all,

Thanks for the feedback. We will be collecting this, summarizing it, and presenting it to the team.

A few notes for what you will see on 3/5 when Update 2.2.0 is released:

  • Bright Engrams will continue to be granted on each rank up after you reach max level, granting free Eververse items as you play Destiny 2
  • The well-rested buff will continue to be applied each weekly reset, granting expedited XP gains towards the first three Bright Engrams of each week, per character
  • Undesired items will continue to dismantle into Bright Dust, which can be used in the Bright Dust storefront to purchase other cosmetic items found within Bright Engrams.
  • The Bright Dust storefront will continue to rotate weekly
  • Bright Dust Bounties will continue to be available to complete
  • Bright Engrams will continue to be offered for Silver, if you wish to purchase them
  • Direct purchase bundles are an optional avenue for cos...

From what I can gather, he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank just outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.

We also have a fix coming Tuesday, to address the issue where challenges would sometimes double up. (which meant there could be a day in the week with no daily to complete)
