BIG DUM CLAN CONTEST

So with Destiny 2 down for maintenance for four hours that means we all have time to do things that are not related to Destiny, right? Wrong. With six "BDSM" [KINK] clans there's got to be at least half a dozen creative people in that mess of 500 or so goons and friends of goons, right? So we're going to do a contest with actual prizes. A contest where you get to be creative! And one where it encourages GOOD posting in this thread!

Get creative and make something cool, funny, salty (like pubbie tears, not the ocean), witty, etc. I'm leaving this really open because I want the only real limitation to be YOUR CREATIVITY and that it be related to Destiny 2 in some way.

I also want to encourage people to join the Discord so we have one unified launching point for goons in space that are dum and want to play Destiny 2. We have new features like clan battalion coordination channels and roles, lots of new mods, and more!

Link to the Contest Discord Channel:
https://discord.gg/ZjUqdW5

RULES:
1. It has to be posted in the thread. You can't just post it to the Discord (so you have to give Lowtax $10 at least once in your life)
2. You have to be currently in one of the six [KINK] clans (soon to be... seven)
3. Create whatever the heck you want: YouTube video, image, LEGO Destiny monstrosity, etc. that is related to Destiny 2!
4. Make it cool, witty, funny, or anything else good! Big and dum, if you will!
5. Follow all other forum rules (don't post anything egregious or bannable)
6. You can submit as many things as you want, but one prize per person!
7. Kay, Waffles, and Somera are going to help me judge the winners!



PRIZES:

First Place:
$50 PSN Gift Card
(1 prize available)

Second Place:
$20 PSN Gift Card
(2 prizes available)

Third Place:
$10 PSN Gift Card
(1 available)

Fourth Place:
ONE WHOLE HOUR of Destiny 2 with me (Insane Totoro) as your concierge. Like I don't care if it's Nightfall Prestige or whatever. I'll do it!
(1 available, PS4 only unless you want to buy me an Xbox and grind a character on it to level 20 and LL280)

Fifth Place:
Put your mom/wife/husband/stoner manta ray grandma/SO/etc. on the PSN party chat headset/mic and I will them that I gave you specific permission to play Destiny 2 and that you're going to enjoy it and be a better person for it.
(1 available, PS4 only)

CONTEST ENDS: 12:01AM October 7th

And just one more thing. Listen up guys: the point is to HAVE FUN!!! And no it doesn't have to be related to Moana...

You get all your preorder stuff from various people at 20 and/or after beating the story. There's Coldheart and the Kill Tracker ghost for preorders, and a sword for the deluxe. I don't think anything gave a speeder.

Except for emotes and emblems, which are already in your collection.

Speaking of warlock, any warlocks in here that have completed or done most of the raid? What types of builds were you running in there?

I was thinking about having three builds that I could swap to as necessary:

1) Survivable Hunger Void with Nezarec

2) Dawnblade Attunement of Sky with a Starfire Protocol for DPS

3) Arc Attunement of Elements with Lunafaction boots

There's a sparrow from poptarts codes, but I'm not sure if that can be picked up early or not.

I'm "handicapped" in terms of PVP (45 yr old dad), but Origin Story levels the field in quick-play, it smokes. Also, hip-firing Risk Runner while holding down a pile of glimmer is hilarious.

I think Blink is a pvp thing, where done in the proper moment everyone will be confused, you a bit less.

Some things about blink *
It always send you the same distance regardless of your current speed in the air and teleports you based on your current direction, so if you are drifting slightly backwards, blink will teleport you the full distance back.
Warlocks typically want to double tap jump but blink you want to do at the apex of your jump to get the best forward boost.
Blink will throw off axion bolts and the hunter grenades that send seeking drones at you, having the timing down can completely nullify a grenade push as you can very quickly escape the explosion radius.
If you blink right when a sticky grenade is about to go off (at the peak of it's I'm about to explode charging sound) you will leave the grenade behind and only take a little damage. You can also blink to get out of tethers and other AOE effects with similar timing. If you blink right when it sticks, it will follow you.
Blink into melee from above is very disorienting to a person using a scout/sniper.
Blink is a good way to kill yourself in strikes/raids with lots of platforming.


*this was to be best of my knowledge how it worked in D1; the loss of radar in D2 is really turning me off and I have not played with it enough in D2.

What perks

The armor has been sufficiently homogenized enough not to make a difference

If you wanted Y stat and it wasn't the base for the armor in question you simply selected it as the secondary.

You can play all three, so it isn't a big deal. Level each to 20, figure out which you like best, keep playing that one.

When you start a new one don't you have to do the whole story over again? I guess that's not that hard to do.

Unless you mean one character can swap classes, which I'm guessing isn't what you mean.

You can skip cutscenes and apparently send yourself a sparrow once you have vault access, so the whole process is apparently much quicker.

Maybe someone else has other 1–20 speed leveling tips.

I go back and forth between warlock and Titan, it's almost an entirely different game. Usually I stick with Titan the longest because they are sufficiently Big and the basic warlock armor is really boring in D2 but I'm thinking about swapping back now that Titan is at the cap and has done all the powerful rewards for this week

It sucks being an adult with responsibilities now, I don't think I'll be able to do the raid for a good while, though I'm at 260 light. It's just the time commitment until it gets "solved".

Thumbtacks posted:

Back in Destiny 1 I did it by deciding which design examples Bungie said they designed the classes off of sounded more fun.

The Hunter was based off of Han Solo and The Man With No Name
The Warlock was based off of Morpheus (lol) and Gandalf
The Titan was based off of Master Chief

I decided I wanted to just play more Halo. :v:

You can just run past the enemies in a lot of the story missions, which saves some time as well. Also:

Once I got to 11 or 12 on my alt and wasn't a complete liability in public events, I did a bunch of those and hit 20 really quickly. Then I moved a bunch of my warlock's guns over and blitzed through the rest of the story missions in no time and ended up in the mid-270s by the time I wrapped them up.
