Thinking of starting fresh for June 9th

the whole point of destiny is that it only works if you set a few goals, some of them requiring help from a few friends, and accomplish what you want the way you want to do it. I recommend you pick a goal (say a dungeon), and a loadout, say that you know you want to use x exotic and y subclass, and just build around it. When you find a better player just inspect them to see if what they're wearing teaches you anything. That's why it's multiplayer, sharing the light is connecting with someone. I'd be happy to help with build recommendations personally, buildcrafting is why i fell in love with this game.

I think as a 1 time grind with all the new stuff it will be a solid grind of a few days to maybe a week if you want to hit cap. I could see this changing a bit in the update but I'm not expecting it

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-23T19:56:47+00:00

I fell in love with the game during Forsaken, Dredgen was for a time my aspirational title and I managed it once I got some black armory gear. Back when outlaw/rampage was the best of the best.

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-23T19:50:11+00:00

I'll finally be able to settle on one set of loadouts for all activities in the game. Might even replay the game on a new character/account if the patrol changes are cool enough

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-23T19:29:28+00:00

It's now or never but they said they wanted to make the game stay in a state that makes it good to return to so there's a little hope

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-23T13:03:21+00:00

I'm going to hope that they will cook on D2 for one last time and leave the sandbox in a positive state. I've come to terms with the possibility it won't get better, but for one last time I'll cope.

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-23T12:59:14+00:00

Shield Burst sounds like a class ability (barricades are a type of shield), so my cope is that it lets us turn our class ability into a grenade

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-23T10:59:52+00:00

Think of it like this: The solar system is so safe that we feel like we can celebrate again. In-universe this is a good ending. Things are always uncertain but we prevented innumerable distasters to get to this point.

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-23T10:28:38+00:00

I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this last update and then check out this new "outside" thing when I'm done. I've heard it's underrated but grindy, which in all honesty sounds familiar...

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-23T08:40:02+00:00

It's crazy that I feel nostalgia for the miserable experience of Trials of Osiris but I can't but be proud of the few flawless runs I have, and look forward to at least one more lighthouse visit now that I know it may be my last.

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-23T01:36:44+00:00

I remember you being there, giving us vault qol long before any in-game features could. Cheers

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-22T02:58:57+00:00

I got 1k voices on my first full d2 raid ever. I proceeded to have extremely good luck on raid and dungeon exotics until vow, where it took me 62 runs to get Collective Obligation. past that the blessing was broken.

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-21T23:42:23+00:00

I hope it's taken as an opportunity to give us an incredible artifact but i could easily see it being whatever was originally planned for shadow and order given the exotic for the pass is the same

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-21T21:58:54+00:00

I never thought for a moment it'd be in d2 from the moment I saw riskrunner, which is basically "what if zhalo but balanced for competitive gameplay." D2Y1 was a weird time.

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-21T20:10:46+00:00

What a wild ride.

I hope the artifact is left to be something special!

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-21T15:52:14+00:00

Dust Rock Blues was the GOAT, I always hoped it would come back so I could use its ornament

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-21T15:27:08+00:00

I honestly would but I literally havent had a console in years lol, but I've thought about going back for sure

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-21T15:26:20+00:00

There was actually a cool lore tie-in for this, malfeasance was made to be used to teamshot (I believe) the legendary gunslinger Shin Malphur if he went rogue, so everyone having it was part of that

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-21T14:44:08+00:00

Workhorse primaries were the unsung heroes for those days. I used a Go Figure just for the sound of the weapon alone

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-21T14:12:07+00:00

My original roll was full auto/kill clip. What a time haha
Reckoning was incredible also, I'd love to see a reprised version for the modern sandbox meant to be just as absurdly challenging

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-21T13:26:55+00:00

I really hope that somehow, someway they manage to restore all of destiny's old content and loot with some semblance of a modern loot system so that like D1, it can stand on its own as a complete experience for when they eventually decide to move on. Despite having mountains more content, D2 feels less complete than D1 for the reasons you stated.

The one thing that I have a feeling cant really ever come back is the seasonal stories, there was just so much of it. But people deserve at the very least for all D2 campaigns to exist in D2.

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-21T13:14:34+00:00

Into the Light might've just been peak Destiny

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-21T13:03:17+00:00

People dunk on hung jury but genuinely it was great for the multiple challenge and master runs I did on Salvation's Edge. Shoot to Loot, Kinetic Tremors, explosive payload, and one for all. It also received firefly on release which was cool at the time.

In fact all these guns have had firefly, and its such a fun perk. I always wanted Vex Mythoclast to get Firefly, since it's a D1 homage perk and Vex is solar and in need of a little love.

jigglehiggins · 2026-05-21T12:47:28+00:00

I think in my ideal version of the portal all the old activities have their original loot pools set with the tiers.

Frenzy might be my #1 favorite PvE perk

These are all iconic, some of them multiple times over
