You have just introduced a crafting system into the game. I think that putting those guns into said crafting system as well as a perk refresh (which you already did on Dreaming City weapons, for example) should be the standard to aim for when you're putting these raids back into the spotlight.

What reason do new players have to farm these weapons when their rolls are outdated and they can get a better gun from a few Umbral Engrams? You say that you want to focus LFG groups into these raids, but I don't see any good reason why a veteran player would want to go back in there to actually help these new players aside from a good Sherpa heart.

I don't see any good reason why a veteran player would want to go back in there to actually help these new players aside from a good Sherpa heart.

I see and agree with this viewpoint. At the end of the day, not every single activity in the game can cast the widest net to be the most important, up to date activity available to every single type of player. Things will naturally fall to the side as new things come online, as changes are made to sandbox, or a ton of other reasons.

Having the top preforming weapon, perfectly crafted to a T isn't always a top priority for a player. It can be difficult to pull oneself out of their given player type, but hear me out. Many of us here on this reddit fall into that "Top 5%" type of engaged player. Many of us have been on day 1 grinding out our most desired rolls to have the perfect builds for a given endgame activity.

For others who aren't necessarily here, they're just starting to ramp up. T...

Every season, once I've completed most of the content and just want to chill in discord chats with friends, I usually find myself in Altars.

Fun to help newer players who pop into the space that have never seen the activity. Satisfying to mess with builds to see how fast I can become a monster-shredding machine. Nice for weapon crafting progressing thanks to the amount of enemies spawning constantly.

Also do my weekly bounty for the Dungeon consumables for more rolls on that pulse. Ain't the best in the game, but damn it's pretty.

I would say that this initial offering is targeting many in the community that didn't have the opportunity to engage with a given raid when it was the new hotness, so to speak. This has potential to focus raid LFG's to specific activities on a given week, give players some unlocked checkpoints for targeted weapon farming, and a few other fun things. Many who never had a chance to finish the Divinity quest might have an easier time finding a group. Some who never got a good roll on a given dungeon weapon might finally get that perfect roll.

If you are at max pinnacle power, have all the best rolls, and have completed every raid triumph in existence? Completely understandable that it wouldn't tap deep into your desires. There's always room for more development and changes in the future to reignite some excitement for more groups in the community, and we're looking forward to feedback on this initial offering.

They've chosen to embrace the spot of the troll/bully. No amount of salt will change their minds.

Focus on the rebuild. Help out the other communities that also lost spots. Let's kick some ass in getting this back on track!

This has been beautiful to watch (and help a bit with) this weekend.

Cheers to all keeping it going strong, and setting up alliances with other communities in the space.

Their reign of terror will end in a future season.

Due to work involved to ensure players can receive both the emblem and triumph, delivery has been postponed to our mid-April patch.

Once we have additional information, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Good callout - With the frequency of patches over the last few weeks, a few things have moved around. Patch notes got a little messy. Will touch base with the team to see if anything else changed with Rahool, or if this is a dupe!

I don't believe we have anything in this hotfix for that. Please report to the Help forums, as we can pull your account data for investigation.

Love how rapidly they responded to the glaive boss strat despite it not even being better than other top strategies.

Wasn't specifically for glaives. There were a few other builds that could take advantage of freeze to do far greater damage than intended, even outside of the raid.

Big fan of the glaive buff. Alot easier to get max shield energy. I still don't think it does much for the exotics though

Keep the feedback coming. This is a minor change that could go out quickly. We'll continue to pass along thoughts and feelings.

Haven't personally seen any reports of this. If you hit the issue, snag a video and post to our help forum! Player support can snag it and get a bug filed.

Hey all,

Wanted to touch base to say that the team is aware of the feedback. I can't speak to any changes being made, or really even promise that tuning will take place quickly. We likely won't have anything in the TWAB this week, so don't worry. You won't be eating any words, OP!

Things can take a bit of time to tune, and we want to make sure the team has appropriate room to plan and execute if changes are to be made. Never want to rush a patch that could make the items feel worse, introduce major bugs, or create insane monsters in the game that require multiple rounds of nerfs.

Once we have appropriate information, we'll be sure to let you know. Same goes for the Exotic Titan Helm.

Hey all,

We had a few specific fixes go out for individual pinpoints over the last few larger patches, but the team is still digging.

Please do not take this as us sweeping things under the rug. Game development can take time as the team investigates root causes and potential fixes. Investigations can also be put on hold if other high priority issues arise during development of the overall game. Understand the frustrations here, but please don't feel as if we're trying to hide the bug or outright ignore your feedback / bug reports.

I'll touch base with the team to see if we have any additional information that we can provide in the short term.

Following up - sadly, can't give any updates on a specific fix timeline just yet. I can say that this will not be fixed this season, nor next, but the team is looking for future opportunities to address the underlying issue.

Please continue to forward reports of these issues to us on the help forum of bungie.net. We can continue to escalate the more egregious scenarios where enemies are doing higher damage than expected, and give a sense of frequency to the team. Always helps when we have discussions around impact and priority.

Hey all - to clear up some confusion:

This is disabled game wide as we did not have tooling to disable specifically in the Raid. Right now, we're able to directly target activities where Armors or Weapons are causing problems. Mods have a different backend setup, so our current tooling cannot restrict them in a specific activity.

Team will be investigating changes for the future to let us do this, but it's a bit deep and will likely take some time.

Seriously, isn't it nice to get communication that isn't passive aggressive, condescending, or patronizing? 343 f**king hates their player base.

I can say with 100% certainty, they don't hate their playerbase.

It's a tough job. Mistakes can be made. They've killed it in many areas, and honestly we've learned a few things from their strategies and comms over the months.

There's no need to throw shade at them. Let's focus on the problems we have here, and on building stronger/more positive communities around Destiny 2.

Much love.
