What makes a Guardian… a Guardian? We take our first breath with no memory of who we were before – yet we are inexorably drawn to the Light. We fight, we die… and we live again. We know that we were chosen for a reason by something greater than ourselves. For as deep and wide as humanity’s rivers have run, it has now been reduced to a precious few, needing something to believe in… and a place to call home. This is what we have been called to – the future that we fight for. The future we will protect.
Shaped by the fires of each new battle, we are forged and sharpened into what we must become for the fight ahead.
What we have built is only the beginning – a symbol of what we can achieve, of who we are and our great purpose here. But the day may come when we will be tested. When all we hold dear is threatened. And then, we will see what each of us is truly made of.
Destiny 2: Penny Arcade G&T Saves the Universe and Everything in It, No, Seriously, I Know It Looks like We’re Losing but Everything Is Under Control, We Promise is an online multiplayer action role-playing sci-fi-fantasy first-person shooter for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC and the second title in Bungie and Activision’s ten-year, zillion-dollar Destiny franchise. It’s MMO-like – think gear collection (and dress-up), skill trees and specs, party play, raiding, and PvP – with rock-solid gunplay and wondrous, gorgeous worlds to explore. Beyond all of that, it’s also home to the best damn community in gaming:
Pax Arcadia, our systems-spanning network of clans.
A Little History: Our Story So Far
In Year One of Destiny, the Wise and Noble Guardians of PA traveled through space and time in defense of Human, Awoken, and Exo, rising to meet every challenge and ultimately emerging from a year's worth of adventures bearing the spoils of war and the bounty of exotic weapons, sturdy and stylish armor, fortune, and fame. Through our bravery and dedication, we defended The Tower from all who would see it leveled to the ground. Our legend reached the farthest battlefields of the Crucible. We earned the favor of the Queen and protected her Reef from enemies seeking to tear it apart.
At times, our successes seemed inevitable, almost routine. We traveled backward and forward through time; we crushed our foes underfoot in encounter after encounter; we destroyed the heart of a god - more than once. We plumbed the depths of the Dark Below, face-to-hideous-face with Crota, Hive Prince and Son of Oryx. In time, he fell like the rest. We took his wretched, cursed husk and held it aloft as a trophy.
In Year Two, we braved the Dreadnaught, a terrifying frontier, and we beat back the Taken, a twisted menace. We competed against our fellow Guardians in brutal bloodsport, sharpening ourselves into efficient, highly coordinated soldiers of the Light. We returned to the Prison of Elders and tore through its denizens, leaving our mark on its every arena. We remained relentless, undeterred, in the face of overwhelming odds, and together we struck down Oryx, the Taken King. He refused to tolerate our insolence; we refused to tolerate his existence.
In Year Three, Fallen mutants, scavenging the tombs of the Golden Age, unleashed a plague of unimaginable corruption on our world. Grotesque new foes bore down upon the walls of the Last City, challenging us to adapt or perish. Lord Saladin called us to take up the mantle of the Iron Lords, and we obliged. We honored their legacy by rediscovering their history and celebrating a noble, long-buried tradition.
Now, as we enter a new era, our greatest-ever threat emerges from the Darkness to meet us: Dominus Ghaul, leader of the Cabal’s Red Legion. Ghaul believes that the Traveler erred in bestowing the Light upon us; as we begin our journey in Destiny 2, he and his forces will assail the Tower, corrupt the Traveler, and scatter us to the wilds, beyond the relative safety of our city’s walls. For the first time ever, we will enter a world without Light.
But we will enter it together, Guardians.
And it will not be dark for long.Cross-Play Comes to D2!
We finally have the ability to party up across platforms and team up for cross-play shenanigans.
@Peen was kind enough to create
a new Google Doc for sharing your deets and finding others with whom to party - so check it out, add your info, and find friends for Iron Banner or whatever you need. We're stronger together - and you don't have to go it alone!
Join the Clan!:
We have three separate clan pages on Bungie.net (complete with general chat wall and LFG channels!) for PlayStation, Xbox and PC Arcadians. To join up on your specific platform, please PM
@GMaster7 (PS4),
@ObiFett (Xbox) or
@shryke (PC) and let us know your PSN/Xbox/Battle.net ID and your Bungie.net ID - and add yourself to the bottom of the Mega-Roster (linked below) for your platform of choice. Then, use the below links to send a join request to your platform's clan on Bungie.net. We're looking for players who will be active in-game and here in the thread, so general policy is to keep an eye on inactivity through
this excellent tool developed by our very own
@Muffinatron (Holy-Promethium) - and to make room for active players when possible. Because we're at war with Bungie's 100-person cap, membership is restricted to forumers.

Also if hip-fire grip is getting a buff, does that mean that The Last Word will too? Stay tuned!
Yeah, the TW@B specifically mentions it's only about it's ability to challenge at long-ranges while hip-firing.
And a decent roll on the Adept fusion
Of course wasn't streaming because I wanted to take some of the pressure off (seems to have worked) but I'll be streaming with the same group on my titan here in a bit
He still does not have Eyes of Tomorrow.
We were hoping he'd get it on the 69th attempt, ALAS.
420 is the next #.

It really do be like that.
I feel I need to do a video about how good Vorpal DMT is. At around 4:35 you can see me hotswap off my snapshot one because I realize a super is coming. Literally pull it out of my backpack and then dismantle a dawnblade with it heh
This is basically the reason I’m not celebrating when popular console games comes to PC, all the balance nerfs are usually then made for the PC version and just shovelled into the console version with no changes.
Division 2 does the same shit.
You’d think they could balance both versions separately but they rarely seem to bother.
I'm always amazed how frequently we face killer teams with gilded flawless titles or 100x runs in these early card matches. We got our wins and stuff done, but it's so silly.
I've always been apologetic for bungie, "they're small, the codebase is bad(not much of an excuse, that's their fault), activision made them, it's the pandemic" but honestly, maybe they're just a shitty company that needs to fucking clue in and stop putting it on their customers to make up for their shortcomings. Time to stop with the we're listening bullshit and actually do something(s).
As is the Destiny way...
However, I stopped caring about those umbrals and focusing them after week 3 or so like normal, so it kind of became a detriment that after every few activities I had to load into a empty warroom to focus them and then smash whatever came out without looking....
Battlegrounds definitely got boring fairly quickly though. Most are slightly better the strikes playlist, but that's not saying much. It honestly wouldn't be an issue if I could get like 5 charges per run or something. But at 2 charges per run, it's just not worth my time to grind them out.
Yeah, I'd say getting teabagged by 3 stasis hunters after a 0-5 shutout feels like hot sauce in the eye

Yeah, can't help but wonder if one of them happens to be the Titan from this particular entry I've mentioned here before.

I only have a couple friends that are high enough level to attempt them, and they both seemed too burned out to try any more. We were working on the Kargan one and managed as far as getting 2 plates activated with plenty of time to spare, but can't seem to stay alive past that point.
I can play on either PS or Xbox. I am PST and have a pretty flexible schedule this week, I could probably be available any evening. It would also be nice to have some more high level D2 friends. It would be nice to see the end of Deep Stone for once.
Appreciate any help, thanks.

I love the aesthetic, more cool cyber future please.
Classic teal and pink pallette?
Those oldschool looking Vex polygon structures?
Sick synth jam in the trailer (better carry over to the game)?
Hacking the network?
This season is a rad 80s cyberpunk story and is totally my jam
