I wish the social space was somewhere cool like all the survivors hiding out under that broken shard of the traveler instead, but I'm guessing there's probably story missions (or maybe a strike/raid) that involve it instead. Something interesting and appropriate for the setting would have been preferable to the farm though, like maybe hiding out in a Rasputin bunker or something.

Hello, here’s a pretty neat idea for Bungie in the new social space- The Farm.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, why do we need fishing? Well, I’ll tell you. It adds a factor of fun and excitement, especially when you catch something cool. Here’s how it can be planned out

A fishing vendor, a robot with your average fishing gear and hat called FLY-F1SH3R will arrive at the pond. He sells fishing rods and bait. The bait costs glimmer or legendary marks. Of course, the legendary mark bait will be higher quality and has the potential to fish up better loot. There are 3 rods you can buy...

Tier 1 Rod- Hard Wood, breaks after 15 casts
Tier 2 Rod- Steel, breaks after 30 casts
Tier 3 Rod- Reinforced Steel, breaks after 50 casts

The rods will be unlocked via catching loot/items/fish for FLY-F1SH3R in quests. At the end of his quest line, he gives you his exotic heavy gun called “The Whalebane”, it’s a harpoon gun that holds up to 4 harpoons.

The Whalebane is an exotic heavy weapon, and it’s the only Harpoon Gun in the game. Its damage type is Arc, and its exotic perk allows for all 4 harpoons to be shot at once by holding the reload button. The harpoons will however have a decent sized spread, and do some less damage.

After the quest line, you can still fish for loot and fish. FLY-F1SH3R will still buy your fish for glimmer, which you can use to buy more bait.

To keep people motivated to fishing, there will be rare fish in the pond. These fish sell for LEGENDARY MARKS. Yes, these are worth quite a bounty and FLY-F1SH3R will gladly take them off your hands. All of your catches will be recorded in your fishing book, along with the date where you caught the fish.


The loot pool of the Pond consists of weapons (No heavy weapons), boxes of glimmer, unique consumables, and fish.

There will be 6 docks that guardians can fish off of.

So, that’s my idea. I hope you guys enjoy it :).


Just thought of another idea, fishing bounties! Such as catch 50 fish, catch a rare fish, or even catch-of-the-week bounties!

Ideas for consumables listed below-

1. Essence of Luck, increased chance of reeling in a Rare Fish

2. Essence of Power, infinite casts for the next 3 minutes

3. Essence of Fortune, increased chance of reeling in a box of glimmer

4. Essence of Venture, increased chance of reeling in a quest item (stops dropping after fishing quest line is finished)


I'm going to make a clan called Fat Anglers Group (FAG) for those who want to join

This owns. I wanna be a FAG.

Somebody talked about the area expanding / changing over time. Like the base in The Division. I hope they copy that feature. Like, in that grass of field beyond the soccer camp, they could land a lot of space ships, more as the game progress. Maybe even a fallen ship one.

Destiny 2 start with a small camp of survivors growing to a city. Destiny 2 could play this theme and make this farm the seed of a large survivors place.

But a idea like that maybe is too big for Bungie, they are good and they are good at other different things.

It's fun if you're in a 4 man.

Doing a 3 man last night and the 4th was some pubbie who went 2 and 20 and cost us the game. Made wanna tear off own my dick and beat him to death with it.

Once the cool downs are adjusted and we have more maps and modes it should be pretty decent PvP. It's still a bit laggy though and SBMM made those 5 second wait times on day 1 into 2 minute wait times of day 5.

I'm curious how they are going to balance sidearms and smg's. I don't really understand their purpose when you can equip two of any other primary gun. Why use an smg over an auto?

I think they really hosed up the weapon utility/niche with condensing heavy and special together.

That's even dumber. I don't care if the lore guys disagree, Rasputin forcing the Traveler to stay by blowing the gently caress out of it is the best interpretation of the story, and it's what I will go with until I'm directly contradicted by the Rasputin dlc for D2.

The alpha lupi cards contradict you so... :shrug:

I mean, you can believe whatever you want but in addition to zero evidence that Loki Crown was activated the "humanity special" angle is something that Bungie is kind of known for so why would Destiny be any different?

Don't the whole first parts of the campaign involve making a pilgrimage to the shard to get your spacemagic back?
Also the glowing smoke pouring out probably irritates the cryptarch's eyes or something, and it attracts aliens like ants. Makes sense they'd avoid living directly in it.

Smgs are real good if you can hit headshots and play aggressive. Kills faster than an ar in close.

There are likely 4 social spaces so there are 3 other cryptarchs besides Tyra, he could be hiding out somewhere else.

[Extremely Derrick voice] we completely revamped pvp into 4v4 only and slowed it down so that the game was approachable and less chaotic for new players, oh by the way you better roll in a 4 man at all times or your rear end will get glassed. Finally, we left in the sbmm and lag.

No not for players like us, but you could still roll with less than a full fireteam in 6s and not get absolutely destroyed, and hell, probably win most of the time.

And even if I'd drop solo, my team might lose badly because of me and 5 retards vs 6 deec players, but I could still have fun pasting people. Here, it's gonna be me and 3 retards all getting shat on together.

It's just the nature of smaller teams. If they had dropped 6s for the existing 3s there would have been a riot. But somehow 4s is fine.

True. Much easier running a 5 man in Clash than a 2 man in Skirmish.

I'm not going to run anything less than a 4 man. I have 400 Destiny people on my friends list. Should be chill.

Anything less than 4 = PvE time. Because gently caress that
