What happened to us? when Destiny first launched i felt i was the only one who actually liked it, after reading so much hate about the game online i was truly in shock. I could see the games flaws but when i looked pass them i found an enjoyable, fun, addictive, social game. As time went on i found many friends who enjoyed the game as much as i did, then i realised i was part of something bigger than any of us individually, but it wouldnt be the same without us ether, i was apart of the Destiny community.
I'm aware opinions will differ and our passion to make this game the best it can be can lead to frustration and anger towards anyone who contradicts our point or opinion. But thats only human nature and we can negotiate different topics about our beloved game all we want, all im asking is to keep an open mind along with a civil and manorly tone. What im trying to get at here is we need to aprechiate eachother more as people from outside this community have no hesitations on completely bashing this game and this unnessacery toxicity will only add to there list of reasons to bash our game.
I am not the saving grace of this community, infact im far from it but i feel i needed to post this reminder to all of you in regards to all the controversy around SBMM and so on in recent times. Take this as an apology as i have indeed contributed to this toxicity and an apology for my terrible grammar. I hope you understand where im coming from as i feel i had to post this. Thankyou for everything

Nah. The game has a lot of legitimate problems and people should continue to vent their frustrations en masse.

4 RepliesIt's hard for people to keep looking past the inadequacy and lies after they've dropped over £120. [spoiler]Please don't reply with your money/time BS. I know that's the only way to rationalise it but come on guys... I've had my toaster for 2 years now. Should I have payed £100 for it. Behave. [/spoiler]

4 RepliesWhy is the sky blue? A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight. The white light from the sun is a mixture of all colours of the rainbow. This was demonstrated by Isaac Newton, who used a prism to separate the different colours and so form a spectrum. The colours of light are distinguished by their different wavelengths. The visible part of the spectrum ranges from red light with a wavelength of about 720 nm, to violet with a wavelength of about 380 nm, with orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo between. The three different types of colour receptors in the retina of the human eye respond most strongly to red, green and blue wavelengths, giving us our colour vision. Tyndall Effect The first steps towards correctly explaining the colour of the sky were taken by John Tyndall in 1859. He discovered that when light passes through a clear fluid holding small particles in suspension, the shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more strongly than the red. This can be demonstrated by shining a beam of white light through a tank of water with a little milk or soap mixed in. From the side, the beam can be seen by the blue light it scatters; but the light seen directly from the end is reddened after it has passed through the tank. The scattered light can also be shown to be polarised using a filter of polarised light, just as the sky appears a deeper blue through polaroid sun glasses. This is most correctly called the Tyndall effect, but it is more commonly known to physicists as Rayleigh scattering—after Lord Rayleigh, who studied it in more detail a few years later. He showed that the amount of light scattered is inversely proportional to the fourth power of wavelength for sufficiently small particles. It follows that blue light is scattered more than red light by a factor of (700/400)4 ~= 10. Dust or Molecules? Tyndall and Rayleigh thought that the blue colour of the sky must be due to small particles of dust and droplets of water vapour in the atmosphere. Even today, people sometimes incorrectly say that this is the case. Later scientists realised that if this were true, there would be more variation of sky colour with humidity or haze conditions than was actually observed, so they supposed correctly that the molecules of oxygen and nitrogen in the air are sufficient to account for the scattering. The case was finally settled by Einstein in 1911, who calculated the detailed formula for the scattering of light from molecules; and this was found to be in agreement with experiment. He was even able to use the calculation as a further verification of Avogadro's number when compared with observation. The molecules are able to scatter light because the electromagnetic field of the light waves induces electric dipole moments in the molecules. Why not violet? If shorter wavelengths are scattered most strongly, then there is a puzzle as to why the sky does not appear violet, the colour with the shortest visible wavelength. The spectrum of light emission from the sun is not constant at all wavelengths, and additionally is absorbed by the high atmosphere, so there is less violet in the light. Our eyes are also less sensitive to violet. That's part of the answer; yet a rainbow shows that there remains a significant amount of visible light coloured indigo and violet beyond the blue. The rest of the answer to this puzzle lies in the way our vision works. We have three types of colour receptors, or cones, in our retina. They are called red, blue and green because they respond most strongly to light at those wavelengths. As they are stimulated in different proportions, our visual system constructs the colours we see. Response curves for the three types of cone in the human eye When we look up at the sky, the red cones respond to the small amount of scattered red light, but also less strongly to orange and yellow wavelengths. The green cones respond to yellow and the more strongly scattered green and green-blue wavelengths. The blue cones are stimulated by colours near blue wavelengths, which are very strongly scattered. If there were no indigo and violet in the spectrum, the sky would appear blue with a slight green tinge. However, the most strongly scattered indigo and violet wavelengths stimulate the red cones slightly as well as the blue, which is why these colours appear blue with an added red tinge. The net effect is that the red and green cones are stimulated about equally by the light from the sky, while the blue is stimulated more strongly. This combination accounts for the pale sky blue colour. It may not be a coincidence that our vision is adjusted to see the sky as a pure hue. We have evolved to fit in with our environment; and the ability to separate natural colours most clearly is probably a survival advantage. A multicoloured sunset over the Firth of Forth in Scotland. Sunsets When the air is clear the sunset will appear yellow, because the light from the sun has passed a long distance through air and some of the blue light has been scattered away. If the air is polluted with small particles, natural or otherwise, the sunset will be more red. Sunsets over the sea may also be orange, due to salt particles in the air, which are effective Tyndall scatterers. The sky around the sun is seen reddened, as well as the light coming directly from the sun. This is because all light is scattered relatively well through small angles—but blue light is then more likely to be scattered twice or more over the greater distances, leaving the yellow, red and orange colours. A blue haze over the mountains of Les Vosges in France. Blue Haze and Blue Moon Clouds and dust haze appear white because they consist of particles larger than the wavelengths of light, which scatter all wavelengths equally (Mie scattering). But sometimes there might be other particles in the air that are much smaller. Some mountainous regions are famous for their blue haze. Aerosols of terpenes from the vegetation react with ozone in the atmosphere to form small particles about 200 nm across, and these particles scatter the blue light. A forest fire or volcanic eruption may occasionally fill the atmosphere with fine particles of 500–800 nm across, being the right size to scatter red light. This gives the opposite to the usual Tyndall effect, and may cause the moon to have a blue tinge since the red light has been scattered out. This is a very rare phenomenon, occurring literally once in a blue moon. Opalescence The Tyndall effect is responsible for some other blue coloration's in nature: such as blue eyes, the opalescence of some gem stones, and the colour in the blue jay's wing. The colours can vary according to the size of the scattering particles. When a fluid is near its critical temperature and pressure, tiny density fluctuations are responsible for a blue coloration known as critical opalescence. People have also copied these natural effects by making ornamental glasses impregnated with particles, to give the glass a blue sheen. But not all blue colouring in nature is caused by scattering. Light under the sea is blue because water absorbs longer wavelength of light through distances over about 20 metres. When viewed from the beach, the sea is also blue because it reflects the sky, of course. Some birds and butterflies get their blue colorations by diffraction effects. Why is the Mars sky red? Images sent back from the Viking Mars landers in 1977 and from Pathfinder in 1997 showed a red sky seen from the Martian surface. This was due to red iron-rich dusts thrown up in the dust storms occurring from time to time on Mars. The colour of the Mars sky will change according to weather conditions. It should be blue when there have been no recent storms, but it will be darker than the earth's daytime sky because of Mars' thinner atmosphere.

42 RepliesHere's what happened. Game releases and everyone loves pve. PVE content is exhausted and everyone does pvp. Everyone realizes pvp is incorrectly labeled as competitive. Bungie tries to make pvp competitive.....no. Everyone grumbles and doesn't like TDB. Everyone continues to do VOG and Patrols for elusive exotic bounties. Everyone likes HOW but hated POE and this DLC divides the community because it does not have a 6 person activity. Bungie releases Trials. This further divides the community and puts friends against each other which ends relationships and causes conflict amongst clan members. Everyone leaves Destiny....leaving mostly pvp players and some loyal pve guys. Bungie releases TTK and many return. Lots of different opinions on the raid, but everyone agrees it's glitchy as hell and must be grinded ENDLESSLY for a shader and crappy looking gear. The cut scenes were cool. Destiny has ZERO added content for a full year with only pvp and trials. Online community turns into a k/d pissing contest in nearly every conversation. People with a low k/d are shunned. Pvp Streamers become famous. People with nothing better to do run trials for days on end simply to stop normal people from making it to Mercury. Bungie releases ROI. This lasts for 1.5 months. The community is left with pvp and trials. The cycle continues.

1 ReplyJust stop playing crucible, load up the cosmodrome, head toward the Forgotten Shore, sit down at the cliff precipice, and enjoy the beautiful vista. With a sniper rifle, see if Randal the Vandal is sauntering by his cave entrance. And just think about how beautiful the game is, how much you've played and enjoyed triumphant moments with your friends, solo, or random blueberries. Think about how excited you were when a blueberry waved at you just because you were passing by. Think about that God-rolled weapon you craved and RNG give it to you. Think about the time you were matched with an LFG group that was so awesome and kind, they became your clan mates and you still play with them. Whenever you get frustrated, just find a nice, tranquil spot and remember what you enjoy.

I'm afraid this is what happens when a bunch of people can talk in their 'safe space'. Imagine how kind everyone would be if the forum was an actual room we all went to and discussed issues face to face lol

2 RepliesBad community= bad game Seriously though, just look at how Minecraft was (years ago), and look at it now. It's a craphole, and all because of the community. CoD? Great game (again, years ago) until the community killed it. The Destiny community is just a bunch of whiny kids overwhelming the actual good people out there. It's sad, really.
