Indebted to Destiny // QA @Bungie // World's First Vesper's Host

[Tides 🌊 @aTides_]

Dreams do come true, I recently accepted an offer to work on QA over at @Bungie on @DestinyTheGame :)

I'm excited to work at a studio that has impacted my life so greatly over the last decade.

Thank you to everyone I've met along the way, I wouldn't be here without ya'll. 🩵🌊

71 pages of patch notes. 17k words.
...and we're still hunting down stragglers.

This is a big patch. Our teams have worked tirelessly to hit the highest priority/impacting bugs before launch, but there may be a few rough edges.

We hope you find Monument of Triumph to be packed to the brim with fun. If you encounter any issues on launch day or beyond, never hesitate to send us the info.

Ah, and one of our multimedia team members that feeds us high quality assets (and throws the ESRB intro on videos) proposed a deal that they wanted to tweet something in exchange for delivering this asset.

We agreed. Without further ado...

Watching multiple chats, threads, and reactions.

Comment stuck out: “I cant comprehend how much stuff there is to get”

To quote a colleague on the Sandbox team: “my body physically hurts from the amount of items we were updating and implementing”

There is a lot. We hope you like the new stuff, returning favorites, system updates, activity changes, and the few surprises to come.

Before we dig in, we wanted to take a moment to thank you. Seeing your reactions has been really moving to us.

Frankly, we wouldn't be here without you... and the way you continue to show up for this world means more than we can fully put into words.

Every memory and every moment you've shared with us over the years has fueled our future. Every ounce of our June update is for you, and we hope you feel it as you continue to read through our insight articles and upcoming TWIDs, let alone when you're playing the update with us on June 9.

Yeah, it's a bit sappy and sentimental... but that's how we're feeling while reading all of your stories over the last week. We hope to keep building worlds to inspire friendship for years to come and truly couldn't do it without you and your voices.

Again, thank you for being here and for sticking with us.

The weapon set I am most proud of getting to reprise! We’ve all got memories of these so it was definitely a challenge to make sure they live up to their legend.

Also definitely my favorite Origin Trait I’ve ever gotten to make.

[dmg04 @A_dmg04]

@RickKackis I'll keep saying it - team is looking to deploy love letters to as many player types as possible.

Mode tweaks, weapons returning, new perks, some other stuff.

Much love, Kackis.

@nnarum We appreciate you - ALL of you.

Many of us on the team will be on the Tower on June 9 to visit Monument of Triumph with you.

While we're confident the servers won't crash, we've seen some posts floating around. Our Operations Center is prepared for the challenge.

[evanf1997 @evanf1997_]

The Destiny community deserves a proper celebration for Destiny 2’s final raid event. One last RaidZone to celebrate what this game meant to so many of us, and the community that kept it alive all these years.

So, @cbgray_ and I are hosting a different kind of Pantheon event for RaidZone. This won’t be the end of Zone Events (zombies is going strong), but it will close a chapter on Destiny 2 while opening new ones in other games.

More details to come, we’ll see you June 9th.

[Tides 🌊 @aTides_]

Forever grateful for the journey I've been on, from player to dev. To everyone I have played and worked with, thank you. You have meant the world and make me happy everyday that I got to enjoy this beautiful game with you. I will never forget you and what this game has done 💙
