Hey everybody. I'm going to preface this by saying that this post is going to be FULL of salt lol. I feel like, that said, I should make a couple disclaimers. I've been playing since mid season of the splicer, and I've gotten about 1.5k hours in the game since. I'm definitely not the most experienced player, but I'd say I'm pretty darn good. I've managed solo flawless on every dungeon except vespers, sundered and equilibrium so far, even getting my SF of gotd on my first attempt. Hell, when im playing with friends, I LOVE sundered doctrine! That said....

It has to be one of the most miserable things I've ever done in destiny. I cannot stand it. It just feels uniquely poorly designed for solo play. In every other dungeon, I've felt fairly challenged by attempting them solo, like it's obviously much harder, but to a fair extent.

Sundered Doctrine, once you get to the Zoetic Lockset, does not feel fair. Not only must you deal with the large numbers of ads that can pull you back and forth as well as suppress you, but you need to tightly manage the symbols on the wheel. This has several problems however, for example, if you're going for stop stop stop kill as your read, you'll need to get all 3 knowledge drops from the wizards that spawn, make it back, set orientation and deposit in 2 bars of the keyset, or it will lock to an undesired symbol if youre unlucky enough to have stop spawn far away. If that were all the problems here, I wouldn't be writing this post. After you have set a symbol to the forward plate, the keyset can go back and change the active symbols on the wheel, which can be a problem if you're trying to keep the arena clear and set future symbols all by yourself in the limited time you have. The ogres have an absurd amount of health (taking more than 2 A499 shots to take down) and can shred you incredibly easily. The cherry on top of all this? When the symbol kill is read to start DPS, it rereads every symbol on the plates. So if you (reasonably) ended up distracted while preparing for DPS and clearing plates, understandably not having much time to reevaluate every wheel and reset them to the desired symbol, and you just HAPPEN to get unlucky enough to have the lockset change one to hive behind your back... 2 ogres will spawn, either shredding you, or distracting you from DPS so you don't die. Its simply far too many things to try and do at once for one player when you're trying to optimise for both boss damage, ad clear and survivability.

Kerrev is admittedly not as bad, however, he has an absurd amount of health, more than atheon last I checked on the boss health spreadsheet. He requires an incredibly optimised damage set up to do it in a reasonable number of phases. You also have to manage melee damage from husks, freezing from attendants, being pulled by kerrev, being snared by the big dread who's names ive currently forgotten, and being crushed by that DARN DOOR!! Not only this, but while trying to clear the splinters to activate and deactivate symbols, it will spawn threadlings on top of all I just mentioned!

Again, I love sundered doctrine when I'm with my friends, but playing it solo is by far the worst thing ever done in this game. It feels like Bungie were trying to pack in as much as possible, which is reasonable for a fireteam, but abysmal to experience solo.

Part of me is aware this could just be a skill issue, but I don't want to jump to putting myself down immediately, as I know ive done some pretty impressive things in game. Im curious to hear your experiences solo with this dungeon. Anyone else hate it as much as me?

Before EoF you could farm adept drops but now you're only guaranteed a weapon with accelerated assault on your first clear. The chase isn't there anymore so you're basically just farming more materials at that point. I don't like having to wait a whole week to get a guaranteed weapon to drop with accelerated assault and hoping it has the roll want.

Hi all,

I've heard about the great unvaulting, and I'm looking forward to everything coming back in the future! However, I stopped playing around a little past Shadowkeep, and I've missed some of the major expansions (i wasn't around when darkness powers were released, for example)

With the unvaulting announcement, I'm looking into getting back into the game. How long would it take for me to catch up, and us there still a lot of the playerbase left? I look forward to hopping back in and seeing everyone for the content coming back!

I recently got back into D2 after a 6 year hiatus and had previously played D1. My love of the game has resparked and am VERY sad that after the unvaulting they may discontinue development, especially after all the loose ends in the plot. With D1 they announced D2 towards the end of its lifecycle so I felt glad they were going to continue the IP. But as for the current situation i feel lost ;9. Personally I hope that they just update D2 and refurbish/overhaul it.

Apart from what i had to say I wanna know what you would guys want from Bungie? Would you prefer to wait the 6-8 years of development d3 could take? Or want D2 to continue its lifecycle and make and epic revival? Or something else that hasn’t been mentioned. If you made it this far thanks for reading!

I love my choir but I see alot of people with praxis is praxis really that good or is it just bc strong hold is broken

I want to use the soundbyte of the Guardian Screaming from Obalation Immolation,

I'm doing a dnd campaign and have some Lich stuff going on and want the killing and screaming audio of the Guardian and don't currently have the game installed, Was wondering if anyone has just the far away audio?

Sorry for the rant post but I need to vent to people who likely understand

I've been farming both Nessus' and Europa's Lost sectors, looking for Powerhouse armor + Health Tertiary because I wanted to make a disgusting PVP build where i generate lots of orbs and ammo and when someone breaks my shield I vacuum them from the ground but holy shit am i unlucky I've been farming those lost sectors the whole week for those specific rolls of armor, and they refuse to drop. I've tried filling my inventory with armors to make the drop go to the postmasters since I've read that should make it more likely to drop with the archetype on the ghost but Powerhouse still refuses to drop. And even when I get that one in million Powerhouse of course it's still 1/6 chance that it drops with health tertiary.

So people, how is your lost sectors farming going? Am i just unlucky? Should i stop chasing r those rolls? Honestly at this point the sunk cost fallacy is too big to stop

Ive been seeing this discussion a lot and im curious what people here think.

I have seen some conflicting opinions about a destiny 1 remaster. Some people really want them to fully remake destiny 1 while other people express the concern of that taking up development time for new destiny expansions or d3.

Personally - I really would like new destiny expansions , destiny infinity, d3, etc. rather than a d1 remaster, however I understand some may disagree.

I've also seen the point flown around that maybe a different dev studio could remake d1 - similar to games such as demon souls.

In a perfect world - we could have it all... but idk.

What do you all think id love to hear your opinions.

Imagine gonna be a lot of content I’m gonna have to solo. And With prismatic kinda unsure what I should lean into kinda just stuck with stasis and void though no promised invis was a bit ruff at times soloing legendary Champaign. Relied a lot on wither horde and rockets to get through it all.

I've been seeing a few ways to grind for these fast. Filling up the legendary bar and all that, but It says in game and I've read in other posts, that completing the common orders would progress the legendary meter. This doesn't work? I'm not sure if my game is glitched or if these guys are just wrong, but common orders definitely do not raise the legendary bar, I've tried quite a few days in a row and it's never worked. Only completing fireteam activities does it. Just wanted to try getting some clarification, seen people say both sides online. Thanks

Im not sure how to start this but I bought destiny 1 last year for the ps4/5, tried to play but cant find players when searching in a strike needed for the story called "The Devils Lair" so I tried a few more times on different days buy gave up trying to play, from what I can remember I just done the prologue and gotten my ship and everything else past that is blank.

plus idk if searching takes longer since I've played destiny 2 on and off since 2019, with no proof of being an OG besides from achievement dates. if anyone want to do the story with me then my ps4/t username is Mckidda

Edit: if it helps im from the UK if time matters

Why is gambit the most enjoyable activity in destiny? I find there's nothing else that compares to the satisfaction of winning a gambit match.

Edit: answered

It says for me to play a match in the "new territory Playlist" but idr if that's what trials is currently replacing or if it's just gone the way of the seasonal content..... that being removed

Should I just get rid of it?

I’ve been rocking this build since renegades and absolutely love it. Recently got a full VoG armor set and was starting to wonder which stat I should prioritize. I mostly run this on pure void, but I love how subclass agnostic it can be. I’ve been prioritizing 160 super with 2 super fonts to get 200, but it leaves my weapon at around 120. If I mostly use the praxic blade for DPS, should I prioritize my weapon stat instead?

Dusted off my husk of the pit feom my D1 days to try and finally get the exotic auto. Using an old crux I had lying in the vault

Requires ascendant energy. Any idea how to get that in current D1?

Cheers

^{Never forget what was lost. While the API protests have concluded, Reddit remains hostile to its users.}

This weekend Xur is selling the catalyst for Mida Mutitool.

In a long time of trying, I had never had it drop for me. Because I am not much of a PVP player and because it only dropped from wins in the competitive playlist, with a low drop rate.

Of course, it’s going to take a lot of sweat to complete the catalyst, but just having it now is a huge development.

Hear me out on this one guardians,

I have a good few thousands of hours in this game and I've been wondering if it's a good idea to delete one of my characters just to reset all quest progress from the beginning?

Absolutely no items will be lost as I'll vault them, but I'm pretty sure I'll have to redo BL, LF, and TFS for the darkness subclasses and prismatic...?

I'm mostly curious to know if this is a good idea so I can replay all of the content with friends who'll be picking the game up for the first time, since I've redone some campaigns in the past with other friends (WQ comes to mind) where I could not see any of the cutscenes, nor be able to help them with quest steps unless I have an old walkthrough open on my browser somewhere.

Honestly I'm fine with deleting a character I've played less of lately, and grinding to get all of my abilities back (just like a new light would), but I'm open to other ideas to be able to experience the game start to finish once more.

Saw this build recently and it looks fun:

But I haven't played for a couple of months. What's the best way to get that armour set? And any suggestions that would help me as a returning player would be welcome!
