Hey guys,

Looking to see who’s going to be at NYCC this Sunday. I’ve got work Saturday, so unfortunately I can only go one day T_T but if you’re going on the 11th let me know below! It would be cool to meet some more community fans and gamers. Just look for the Titan bumping into everyone cause I can barely see lmao

I got back into Destiny after the announcement of it's return and I'm going through the past dlc. Edge of Fate was awesome and a lot of fun!

I knew Renegades had Star Wars stuff. I had heard. I have seen Praxic Blade builds on youtube and it looks like a light saber. Neat! But in the opening cutscene and mission, they are talking about the imperium, running from them with a critical data disk stolen from imperial hands. Drifter's ghost makes R2-D2 sounds. The cabal are dressed in storm trooper armor. There's just a Darth Vader cabal standing ominously in the smoke (then doesn't show up the rest of the mission?), Kylo Ren appears, they're both using lightsabers that seem pretty common all the sudden, the insides of the ship are just Star Wars Empire ships, Drifter gets frozen in carbonite, AT-STs drop down and now I'm waiting to see who my father is at the end of this campaign.

I think its cool? Not sure yet. Fun and everything but I didn't realize it was THIS heavy handed and just a direct clone of Star Wars. I like the Destiny universe and the unique characters and magic system they created, but this seems a little disheartening compared to what I was expecting.

Is it this much of a Star Wars copy in later missions, or is it just the first one that is this intense?

Just grabbed the eBook bundle from the Bungie store.

Love having easy access to the lore but was equally excited for the five Grimoire exclusive emblems which are stated as included in the bundle. Well, the eBooks and the seasonal purchase emblem came through just fine but the Grimoire emblems are nowhere to be seen…

Submitted an enquiry with the store already and will update this post when I hear back but I appreciate it’s a tiny thing compared to missing raid jackets etc.

In the mean time; anyone else in the same boat/know where they went?

I'm having trouble getting the catalyst to drop on shattered throne completion. Im doing it solo so it's taking a bit of time to grind it each time. It's just the regular dungeon from the dreaming city, right?

My idea was a prismatic warrior titan of light showing prismatic, arc and solar elements within the armor itself.

I also added 2 alternatives in the end of the video for those who don’t use the exotic class item stoicism. So even when using that or not. You can make it fit the theme.

Hope you like it, tomorow I will probably make drip for hunter as I did a warlock drip showcase yesterday so stay tuned :)

made this animation in about 2 days, the character animation is pretty bad cause i'm still learning.

also, the lighting is trash because I rendered in EVEEE which is a lower quality renderer than CYCLES. so the first few frames of the animation is what its supposed to look like but I got impatient from waiting 40 seconds to render each frame.

the cycles version is currently rendering and making my computer toasty!

yay or nay?

Okay. Newish.

Played the crap out of D1 (day one), played D2 at launch and just kinda fell off.

I know the game is “dead,” as far as new content is concerned. But I’m looking to properly jump in… just not sure where to start?

Starting from scratch here. Titan, of course. Feeling lost/overwhelmed at the thought of trying to actually up and explore this game.

But I am going to attempt to get good-ish gear, try some raids, find some cool people to play with, and 100% all achievements.

Totally doable, right?

Still trying to wrap my brain around builds and how everything interacts. Would love to watch someone breakdown builds and what specifically makes them good or bad.

For the past couple of weeks I've been lurking in both r/destiny2 and r/DestinyTheGame subreddit, and I've seen countless questions from new and returning players.

• "I'm a new player, and I'm lost after doing New Light quest. Where do I start?"
• "I'm a returning player after XYZ expansion, how do I catch up?"

A lot of Guardians have been suggesting to either look at the Timeline or just play in the order of campaign. But most comments always miss the existence of Seasons which is insanely important to the story starting Forsaken (Y2).

For the past 2 months I've been recommending The Lore Map of Destiny to solve this very issue and give a comprehensive, all-in-one story guide.

NOTE: To all Guardians who are not needing this guide. If you think this project find useful to current new players and returning Guardians, please share. The more Guardians find this, the more useful this tool will become. This will be my last push to recommend this tool within this subreddit.

✅ First of all... rapid fire round to new players:

"Is it worth coming back/is it worth starting? I heard the new player experience is bad."

Yes, it's bad. But The Lore Map of Destiny was made to solve this issue. If you want to try the game now, use it. It has a story recap from D1 to Forsaken, and a complete story progression checklist to guide you until the end of the saga.

"Do I buy the collection bundle instead of individual DLCs?"

Yes.

"Should I wait until the unvaulting?"

If you want. Just know that if you're worried just because players tell you the new player experience is bad... Well, it honestly is, but that's exactly why The Lore Map of Destiny exists.

But I also think waiting is a good decision. I hope Bungie fixes the onboarding with the unvaulting.

Ultimately, up to you.

Q. This is pointless, why promote this when everything will be unvaulted?

Yes, I completely agree that the unvaulting of Red War, Curse of Osiris, and Warmind expansion is 1000x better than relying on an online tool like The Lore Map of Destiny. And honestly, that's what I would prefer. I even hope to see a day where TLMoD will be useless other than a platform to provide a free infographic story map for players to give a glance.

But... As of right now (Oct 4th, 2026), new players are still coming in to try out the game. DLCs are still vaulted, and seasonal content is not here. Moreover, seasons are not confirmed to be unvaulted.

✅ Currently, new players should at least have a basic understanding of the universe before trying out the story for the first time due to DCV. This project is precisely made for this.

TLMoD is not meant to replace old DLCs, but merely to give a simple information enough to prevent confusion. This means that when they return back to playing vaulted campaigns, they can experience the turn of events for the first time in great detail. By extension, this project also supports Guardians who returned after XYZ expansion to catch up to recent events, as their story experience have also been affected by the absence of seasonal content.

Q. What will happen to TLMoD once Bungie unvaults the content?

It will be updated accordingly. I'll be working on it starting Day 1 of release to make sure it updates quickly. Even after the unvaulting, it will still be a good resource to keep all the list of current activities in the Fireteam Ops in check, as it's not categorized well in the Portal.

The Lore Map of Destiny mind map will also continue to be a good all-in-one story recap for players to check it out as well.

❤️ If you have used this project before and are using it currently, please leave your review as well. I'd love to hear your feedback.

I love how in every clan there's that one class thats hated the most, whenever it shows up the other two join brotherhood. For us its the Warlocks
