I’m glad it’s not just me, I was getting major halo vibes during that mission to blow up the sun cannon

Continue gearing towards 270-ish light level. Do the raid with friends or chill people (don't do the raid with angry dudes or LFG's). Then do Trials of the nine with 3 cool guys.

For trials of the nine you can try LFG sites. Again focus on searching cool guys that are chill, but somebody that know what is doing and don't talk much is ok.

I definitely think they kek thing is a coincidence. It's a pretty generic design, and certainly something someone could accidentally add somewhere when they were just making symmetrical doodles. Even if it had been put there intentionally, keep in mind that content from Destiny 2 has been in development for quite a while. This time last year, most people would still think kek was a silly WoW reference that somewhat annoyingly took over the word lol in certain parts of the internet. Pepe used to be just a popular character from a pretty decent comic, too. Bungie is not a company that would intentionally employ nazis, nor are they the sort that would fail to recognize something like that if someone tried to sneak it in, so the most likely explanation is that its just a generic design and nobody noticed the similarity to this symbol during development. Hell, I wouldn't have noticed if it hadn't been pointed out, and this is the only place I've even seen this being discussed, so clearly it isn't as glaring as some people here are making it out to be.

In any case, I sincerely hope it gets changed, because I really like the look of those arms minus the kek poo poo, and now that its been pointed out to me I can't ignore it.

The shader complaints seem super overblown now that I'm in the 260s.

I guess if you recolor your armor every 15 minutes it could be a problem?

I actually really hate it because in D1 I generally only used like 4 shaders, so it does me no good to have 5 of a thousand different types, especially with how quickly gear changes

It's not in any freaking way a coincidence dude.

But the second part of your post is right. It's probably some dumb libertarian shitlord riding the Kek wave from a while back and it was done a long time back and probably approved before trump got elected by these chuds. hopefully he's one of the guys who is now "oh poo poo this stuff has a real impact on people" but who knows.

Either way remove it and hopefully all this guys' coworkers ostracize him or something.

Considering Destiny 1 had an entire series of crucible gear with hilarious Seahawks references and colors, I'm not going to give Bungie the benefit of assuming it was 100% a crazy coincidence.

Their employees have access to the internet too, and considering the game is balanced based on what people cry about on reddit, they obviously spend a lot of time mashing F5 over there too.

Nah there are totally four lines on the armor. The flag only has three. Totally different and in no way related.

They need to finish patching the database so we can get on with playing this big dumb baby game.

My favorite part about the monetization meltdown is that it was over shaders and not the XP item that makes the game puke exotics at you.

Also, Bungie help is calling this scheduled maintenance, like they "scheduled" it just before 2am local time to take place 5 hours later.

Also also, this hotfix might be related to The following:

I hope they also hotfix the prism cycle so it doesn't shift so drat fast. Or give Hard Light the ability to switch elements by holding down the reload button like that one exotic sniper.

I noticed this too while playing Crucible last night. Thought I was going nuts.

Also lol "look maybe someone just independently designed the kekistan flag, totally coincidentally" is the Destiny version of "no really, they're sun wheels!"

Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

I was looking around to find the image to post here, but it seems like nobody else is talking about this anywhere - this thread is the only place I can find anything about it. Arguing about whether it was intentional or not is pointless, but it seems pretty clear that the number of people who noticed it either way is pretty low. That also means the chance that it'll be changed seems pretty low, at least until someone makes a stink about it somewhere more visible.

edit: Whelp, timing lol. Glad to be wrong on this one; I just want to wear those cool arm blades without having anyone think I'm some /pol/ shithead.
