    Send us a text Episode 134 is a long one — dungeon contest mode, Renegades marketing confusion, crossplay invasion debates, disabled weapons outrage, and a brutally honest conversation about why Destiny 2 feels easier than it’s ever been. We break down Bungie’s latest TWID, the Equilibrium dungeon contest, the Oath of the Renegades community event, and the constant tension between exclusivity, fairness, and fun. This episode is Destiny discourse in its purest form. 🎙️ In This Episode - Full breakdown of the Equilibrium dungeon contest mode Contest rules, rewards, emblems, and disabled items Why dungeon races have become toxic (and who’s responsible) Why high-DPS bugged weapons were disabled — and why people are mad anyway The A499 sniper & Uncivil Discourse bugs explained Contest fairness vs. “let us exploit it until Monday” mentality - Renegades’ Oath of the Renegades marketing event Third-party site confusion Why it launched before Bungie explained it Community reaction (positive AND negative) - Crossplay invasion drama in Lawless Frontier Console vs PC arguments Why invasions feel like Gambit 2.0 Meta builds and why one-shot supers dominate - Farming the Dark Matter / Darksaber-style crystal Why it’s farmable Why some players want it locked behind contest clears A blunt conversation about solo flawless dungeons Why difficulty feels trivial in the current sandbox Ability uptime, power deltas, and GM difficulty shifts - Dawning 2025 preview New armor, weapons, snowball Crucible mode, and event changes Bungie community art highlights & cosplay showcases Destiny player numbers, expectations, and long-term concerns Why Destiny desperately needs a roadmap — and soon 🚀 Join the Shrouded Gaming Community Discord ➡ https://www.shroudedgaming.com/discord Twitter/X ➡ https://twitter.com/Shrouded_Gaming Twitch ➡ https://www.twitch.tv/shroudedgaming TikTok ➡ https://www.tiktok.com/@shroudedgaming Threads ➡ https://www.threads.net/@shroudedgaming 🎗️ Support Extra Life & Earn Exclusive Rewards Donate here: https://donate.tiltify.com/7370cba9-cf7d-43d7-8b0e-14ad8985276b 🎙️ Like, subscribe, and hit the bell — we’ll keep you ahead of the Destiny chaos every single week.

    Renegades Review: Star Wars Chaos, Bug Hell, & The Best Ghost Ever? | TWAS Ep. 133

    Send us a text Episode 133 dives deep into Destiny 2: Renegades — the good, the bad, the Star Wars, the bugs, the fetch quests, the lightsaber, and the absolutely unhinged new ghost named Blue. This week’s show covers our full first impressions of the expansion: the story, the new characters, the campaign steps, the weapons, the activity design, the insane exotic armor bug, the portal problems, and the wild community takes. And yes… we talk about the Kylo Ren knockoff too. 🎙️ In This Episode: Renegades first impressions: fun, nostalgic, but way too Star-Wars-coded The campaign: great missions, terrible pacing, and endless “talk to this NPC” steps Blue the Ghost → best ghost in Destiny history? Dredgen Bale → Kylo Ren energy, temper tantrums, and questionable writing The Drifter’s romance arc… do we love it or hate it? Praxis Blades: fun, powerful, but completely shoehorned into the story Story length: 5 missions + 40 fetch steps… worth $40? The good: music, weapon models, ad density, fun mission variety The bad: crashes, weasel errors, disappeared shards, loadout bugs The very bad: illegal high-stat armor, exotic ornament crashes, portal tuning Post-campaign Renegades: invasions, red lightsaber RNG, arena ops disasters Value comparison: Renegades vs Final Shape — why the community is arguing Destiny’s future, dungeon race prep, and the ongoing not-swap debate 🚀 Join the Shrouded Gaming Community: Discord ➡ https://www.shroudedgaming.com/discord Twitter/X ➡ https://twitter.com/Shrouded_Gaming Twitch ➡ https://www.twitch.tv/shroudedgaming TikTok ➡ https://www.tiktok.com/@shroudedgaming Threads ➡ https://www.threads.net/@shroudedgaming 🎗️ Support Extra Life & Earn Exclusive Rewards Donate here: https://donate.tiltify.com/7370cba9-cf7d-43d7-8f24-6ca987127179/incentives 🎙️ Like, subscribe, and hit the bell — we keep you ahead of the Destiny chaos every single week.
