What a raid! GGs to the team and thank you #DestinyRising

@PaulTassi Also with the faction vendors. Why do I have to prompt them to keep talking?

Ok it’s not just me thank god

@MacticsG1 You need to stop listening to these people, fella. Feel like I see a tweet like this from you every day

I wish I was getting paid as much as some of y’all act like I am to enjoy marathon Id be able to buy a country and have enough leftover to fund destiny 3 myself But no, I just like the game.. imagine that

@PaulTassi The bosses don’t really seem to show up that often until you’re like lvl 15-20. Bit of a design flaw if that’s intentional

Going back to my fighting with SkillUp about The Division days to say that there's just a lot factually wrong in here (bosses, events, contracts), plus the extremely funny claim that ARC Raiders has better quests youtube.com/watch?v=4HlXNH…

@tjk_9000 @MacticsG1 It’ll probably hit number 1 on launch day, but just because it can beat out other successful games on its launch week, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s successful for Bungie. Especially considering Sony paid $3.6bn for them

@Corgii08 @MacticsG1 those charts are based on revenue which makes it significant if you can pass CS2, that game is milking people for loot boxes 24/7

Its still insane to me the turnaround that marathon pulled Went from being dull and boring with art scandals and huge dislike ratios on all marketing to second place on the top revenue grossing charts after a server slam that started rough but won everyone over in the end

@Skarrow9 Would be nice to know what all the possible world events are and how they work. Like the big quarenteen square and the loot box room spawns

I'm seeing A LOT of Marathon complaints that imo stem from an early lack of game knowledge. AND I WANT TO HELP! So what parts of the game are you struggling with? Resource scarcity? Being overwhelmed by too much info? Limited space? Let me know and I'll crank out some vids!

@PaulTassi @Forbes Be interesting to see how may people are actually playing individual portal activities over the quickplay playlists. I can’t remember doing one since they launched

The Portal Poisoned ‘Destiny 2’ And Bungie Is Not Looking For A Cure via @forbes forbes.com/sites/paultass…

@A_dmg04 Solo flawless GM

We noted yesterday that TWIDs will be more focused on community activations / in-game calendar for a bit. During our somewhat quiet time, are there any activities you’d like to see challenges for? Dungeon runs and Raid challenges are always fun, but would love to hear from you. And of course, we’ll let you know when we’re ramping into more news about the June update.

@MacticsG1 lol! It’s like Stockholm syndrome “Thank you so much Bungie overlord for this morsel of information”

@Corgii08 personally id rather have a reveal date over my current situation (copium overload ctrl+f “roadmap” on every twid)

At this point it feels like any roadmap or state of the game type of communication is definitely happening well after marathon release Not much else to say other than it is what it is and that there really needs to be something in there that makes it worth this long of a wait

@MacticsG1 It could go like that, but it’d be such a missed opportunity to build some positive sentiment going into Marathons launch. I’d be pretty pissed if we just got a reveal date for the roadmap

@Corgii08 not a roadmap to the roadmap, something like “Hey Shadow & Order is delayed till [insert date here]. We will have more info to share about this and the next multi-year plan for destiny via the roadmap releasing on [insert date here].” but probably more words lol

@MacticsG1 A roadmap to the roadmap would be such a troll. In the end I think Bungie are aware that positive news around Destiny can only help Marathon. It’ll be hard for people to believe Bungie’s commitment to Marathon if they don’t see that same commitment in Destiny

@Corgii08 my prediction is that the delay will get announced alongside a date for when the roadmap/sotg will drop

@PaulTassi Feel like Highguard should’ve been a clear lesson that creating a comms vacuum while sentiment is low isn’t a great idea. Guess not

Whew reaaaally reaching for some TWAB topics this week

@Lucca_D2 @LlamaOnD2 Selectable difficultys and modifiers ruined the rest of the game. I don’t want it to ruin RaD content too. LFG community is already fragmented enough with feats and epic mode

@Corgii08 @LlamaOnD2 Can you elaborate? Why would an optional difficulty increase be a terrible idea for those who want to push themselves

One place where I'd love to see more expansion of activity customization is Raids and Dungeons, particularly being able to fine tune the power delta of the activity yourself. Below you're seeing a concept image of what this could potentially look like for a "Custom difficulty Vault of Glass", featuring a neat little slider that goes from 0 to -70 power in increments of 10, as well as nodes that allow you to toggle on/off typical Master Raid Surges, Overcharges, Champions and challenges, plus feats as well. Harsh deltas like -50 or lower are almost certainly unclearable or really hard, despite this though I still think it would be a cool option to have so that players may simulate Contest/harder experiences in order to practice for day 1s or to overcome an exceptional challenge. Fun fact it was actually possible to simulate -50, -60 or -70 Raids before Edge of Fate using lower Power gear, and speaking from personal experience these were really great for day one practice, but ever since Raid deltas were introduced in EoF, you can't do this anymore. Now I know this isn't the most pressing issue the game is facing right now, but I still wanted to express my feedback about it because I think giving players more freedom and opportunities to challenge themselves is never a bad thing, and could potentially lead to some cool moments! Imagine being able to re-create the conditions for day 1 Herald or complete a -70 Riven legit, if that's even possible, but that's the fun part! Finding out if it is :) Please let me know your thoughts, also huge props to @CourtProjects for the awesome graphic as usual.

@PlayHighguard Can we get join in progress for 5v5? People leaving really kills a good match. Also, would love to have some kind of xp progression system. Missing seeing number go up

You've been asking, and we're happy to share—5v5 Raid Mode is here to stay! ⚔ We appreciate everyone hopping in over the weekend to give the mode a try. We saw a fairly even split between 3v3 and 5v5, which helped inform our decision.

@A_dmg04 @destiny_thememe Please don’t waste anymore resources on this. A completely redundant feature

What are these even for

@LlamaOnD2 Feats are fine, but if too many are added, you’ll end up with the same problem as the portal, where people can’t just jump into the activity. They have to find the optimal modifiers first

Speaking of the Feats system: I actually want to see them expanded. Here's four suggestions, specifically for Dungeons: ➖ 💠💀 Extinction Your typical Flawless option with a slight bump to Combatant Power. This would canonise flawless, similar to Petra's Run of the past. This counts as 3 Feats for completion rewards. ➖ 💠1⃣ Solo Extinction Same as above, but this is a Feat designed for Solo players in mind. Very slightly higher Combatant Power but the rewards are adjusted accordingly: counts as 5 Feats meaning guaranteed T5s. ➖ 💠🦴 Barebones All "bonuses" like Artifact perks, New Gear, etc are disabled. This will also has a 66% malus to all outgoing Ability damage to incentivise weapon-based builds. Slight Combatant Power bump and counts as 2 Feats. ➖ 💠🏅 Contest Redux This is effectively Day 1 (contest) rules and Combatant Power stays at +40. Still counts as highest for rewards. ➖ ❓ "What about Cutthroat?" I get the feeling the current Equilibrium Cutthroat is likely going to be nerfed from +40 Combatant Power to +30 (like what it is in Desert Perpetual). I'd still keep Cutthroat as an intermediate difficulty if it does indeed get nerfed, but keep a +40 difficulty for those that want the ultimate challenge. ➖ @Destiny2Team

@Destiny2Team Could you add it to the world loot pool? Give us a reason to grind stuff like blind well again

We've seen some questions about whether The Edge of Fate gear like Mint Retrograde and the Smoke Jumper set will be earnable again. We've been working on adding a new way to earn gear from the last season, but it wasn't quite ready for Renegades launch and is currently targeting a future update. We will share more after we lock down the details.
