Welcome to the DTG Daily Community and Questions Thread!

This place is a condensed community hub of our prior weekly schedule regarding all things Destiny and Destiny 2. Whether you're here to ask questions, talk about your day, discuss lore, OR SHOUT IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT RANT WEDNESDAY WOULD HAVE WANTED, this is the place to do it!

We also have an official Discord, which allows for live chatting about the game, LFG, and more!

Be sure to use the search in the top right before submitting a question, as it could have already been answered. We also have a nice collection of useful resources below "Useful links" in the sidebar / top menu.

Whether you're joining years after the final update or just want to reminisce with your fellow guardians, /r/DestinyTheGame has you covered.

Be sure to sort by new to see the latest posts!

Rules:

  • Absolutely no down talking. You were all new to Destiny once, so there's no need to belittle anyone just because you might know more.
  • Comments do not have to be about Destiny, this is a community hub for all Guardians past and present.
  • IF YOU'RE RANTING, DO IT IN ALL CAPS! MAKE SHAXX PROUD!
  • LFG posts are allowed, though you may find better luck by visiting the D2 LFG Discord.

Question Coming Back feeling overwhelmed.

• Upvotes

Like title says, really wanting to come back and start playing again because I love the game but haven't played since TFS. The game scratches an itch nothing else does. I was going to wait until the OG campaigns came back (hopefully with Legendary difficulty). Just have so much stuff in my vault everything looks a little different and im not sure what to keep or get new roles on for 5 tier or what to even start first. If any of yall have insight or if I should just throw all my harder to get exotics in the vault and then start fresh when unvaulting happens?

Question What’s a good armor set for a well of radiance warlock build? (No raid gear)

4 Upvotes

Recently returned to the game and I’m currently putting together a well of radiance build. Using Prometheus lens with elemental supercharger to constantly farm supers. Current gear is specced into weapons and super for well duration. Not exactly sure what set would work best with what I’m running. I was thinking maybe the techeun set from shattered throne could work well to round off the build

Question Returning to the game after 5 years

9 Upvotes

So recently my friend group has decided to play Destiny, and I am completely lost as to what exactly to do. I haven’t played in about 5 years, so I am really out of the loop. Is all my old gear worthless? Should I just make a new character? I am just really confused, so any guidance or help would very much be appreciated!!

Discussion Bubble Baby Build

2 Upvotes

The void titan is my baby. I've been a bubble boy since D1 release. I want to start doing higher level content like raids and dungeons, mainly because Refusal of the Call is only farmable in the Pit.

Is it possible to solo raids/dungeons using a void bubble titan build? Or does DPS become too much of an issue? I have no trouble in GMs when they have auto matchmaking, so I'm hoping this build translates to solo endgame PvE, so I can farm my my favorite glaive, Refusal of the Call.

Right now, my build is the following:

Super: Ward of Dawn

Aspects: Controlled Demolition, Bastion

Fragments: Echo of Persistence, Echo of Starvation, Echo of Harvest, Echo of Reprisal, Echo of Cessation

Abilities: Rally Barricade, High Lift, Shield Throw, Vortex Grenade

Artifact: NPA Repulsion Regilator

- Volatile Flow

- Sustained Fire

- Protective Breach

- Unto the Breach

- Targeting Autoloader

- Void Weapon Channeling

- Supernova

Armor Stats: Powerhouse Focus

- Health 0

- Weapons: 200

- Class: 105

- Super: 105

- Melee: 50

- Grenade: 30

Armor and Mods

Helm of Saint-14, Exodus Dawn/Swordmaster x4

Head - Heavy Ammo Finder, Special Ammo Finder, Harmonic Siphon

Gauntlets- Heavy Handed, Void Loader, Harmonic Dexterity

Chest - Melee Damage Reistance x2, Void Ammo Regeneration

Legs - Absolution x2, Orbs of Restoration

Class - Utility Kickstart x2, Special Finisher

Wepons (All champion spread)

Kinetic - Ribbontail: Subsistence, Redirection - Ammo Generation mod (Someday and Hushed Whisper on normal rotation depending on the run/vibe/mood)

Energy - Choir of One: Destabilizing rounds (what else do you need?)

Power - Stryker's Sure-Hand: Rampage, Redirection

This build has generated almost perpetual overshield with kickstart and orb generation. Super bubble, and Stryker's Hand provides incredible DPS for bosses and amazing ad clear with Volatile Flow and Supernova. Choir of One fills in all the gaps for range and consistent DPS, assuming there are enough red bars to fill the ammo meter for the Hand and Choir.

Cons:

- Lack of enemies results in significant decrease in playability.

- Ammo Generation issues for boss fights

I'm looking for helpful critics and suggestions. I am not in a clan and have no intention of joining one unless the stars align (I feel comfortable and you're super casual about regular participation).

Question Best shoot to loot specials for double special setups?

2 Upvotes

I’m hearing a lot about double special, what are the main weapons people use for this?

I’ve been hearing there’s a bis shoot to loot rocket sidearm you can’t get anymore that really sucks to miss. Is there anything I could do about that or just go for the next best.

Question Double special for solar warlock?

0 Upvotes

What double special should I run for solar warlock? I have a dawns chorus build and a boots of the assembler build. The only thing I can think of is acasia's dejection. That'll be a bit annoying to get though. As far as kinetic slot goes, I've been running perfect paradox and liking that so far.

Question What’s a good build?

Question Beyond Light Step 25/34 Bug – Stasis Seal Missing

2 Upvotes

I'm stuck on step 25/34 of Beyond Light. The quest marker appears at the Ziggurat, but none of the Stasis Seals spawn.

I've restarted, checked for conflicting quests, and completed Beyond Light on my Titan without issues.

Has anyone experienced this or found a fix?

Misc Destiny on the Tabletop

13 Upvotes

I’m a longtime Destiny player and recently picked up and painted some Destiny tabletop miniatures. Thought this group would enjoy them. Here a few photos of a hunter and some Vex. I’m working on a Titan, warlock and some other baddies.
Anyone else play table top miniature games? I plan to use them in a game called 5 Parsecs from Home.

Discussion I hope collections get tidied up with this unvaulting

64 Upvotes

An example would be merging all duplicate weapons into one weapon with one single icon from the dlc they first came out in. Old badges and titles being accessible, same with triumphs and titles. Lmk what you guys think of this bc personally it’s bugged me there’s like 5 versions of some same gun.

Question need help with framerate issue

0 Upvotes

ive recently returned to the game and only about 2-3 weeks ago does my framerate drop to 10-20 for anywhere from 1-15 seconds and then immediately back up to 100-144, i have all possible overlays disabled, when i close everything else running on my pc it still happens and d2 is the only game this happens. it will happen when theres nothing going on (was happening last night while running around post duo ron nez kill) this is so unbelievably annoying for higher end pve. has anyone had this issue or a similar one and if so how did you fix it, thanks.

EDIT: after doing a DDU and putting my game to windowed mode (not sure which one actually fixed it as i did them at the same time) seems to have fixed this issue. i would suggest starting there if you are in the same boat as me with steamfix not working

Hey folks! Back at it again with another mildly humourous Solo Witness video! I'm always a fan of running straight nonsense so I'll probably end up doing some more goofy runs!

Question Clan-related triumphs when you're not in a clan.

0 Upvotes

How/where can I get a fireteam to do a clan challenge when I'm not in a clan?

Seems like you could easily get three people (for example for a dungeon) and form a temp clan to complete the triumph to get the title.

BUT the fireteam finder does not have any consideration for this, and all of these reddits seem to prohibit making posts soliciting this.

SO I'm not soliciting this. I'm just wondering how/where I can.

Can anyone tell me? Weird niche thing in D2 'needs' that seems really hard to fill.

Question Visibility tips for 6v6?

0 Upvotes

Coming back to destiny with a few friends since the announcement. Been having an absolute blast mostly in dungeons, gm alerts, and some comp. But something I’ve been struggling with in iron banner this week is just particle effects and visibility. Maybe I’m just getting old, terrifying, but I don’t feel like it’s a huge problem for me in most content. But this week in iron banner I feel like I can barely see what’s in front of me with all the stasis and strand on screen. Basically just wondering if there’s some secret graphics settings etc that might help or some way yall are dealing with it! This is not a complaint post, just asking for some advice coming back to the game :)
