    Still No Destiny News, No Roadmap, & Nothing to Talk About | TWAS Ep. 139

    Send us a text Episode 139 is one of those weeks. There’s still no Destiny roadmap, no meaningful updates, no real communication from Bungie — and we’re left trying to figure out what we’re supposed to be doing right now. So we talk about it honestly. This episode turns into a real conversation about Bungie silence, content droughts, expectations, and what happens when a live-service game just… doesn’t give you anything to react to. We also drift into other games, community frustrations, and that weird limbo Destiny always seems to find itself in between updates. No panic. No yelling. Just reality. 🎙️ In This Episode Still no Destiny roadmap Bungie communication (or lack of it) Why “nothing happening” is still a problem worth talking about Community fatigue vs realistic expectations Filling time with other games while Destiny waits Why these quiet weeks feel worse than bad news weeks General Destiny limbo discussion What players actually want Bungie to say — even if the answer sucks 🚀 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://tilt.fyi/YTzLIsdwsQ 🎙️ Like, subscribe, and hit the bell — even when Destiny gives us nothing, we’ll still tell it like it is.

    Still No Roadmap, Arms Week Chaos & Why Bungie Needs to Say Something | TWAS Ep. 138

    Send us a text Episode 138 is a very Destiny episode: no roadmap, a light TWID, Arms Week doing Arms Week things, and Bungie making changes that might fix one problem while creating another. We spend most of the episode talking honestly about why there’s still no roadmap, what that silence likely means, and why Bungie really needs to just say something — even if players don’t like the answer. We also cover Arms Week bows, bugs with combat telemetry, the solo Warlord’s Ruin challenge, Lawless Frontier invasion changes, Oath of the Renegade results, and a first-time run of the Desert Perpetual raid. 🎙️ In This Episode Why Destiny still doesn’t have a roadmap — and the many possible reasons DMG’s earlier roadmap comments and the 2026 clarification Community speculation vs Bungie silence Arms Week: bows, glaives, swords, and volatile mods One-shot bow mods Bow skating movement tech Bugs with combat telemetry and Arms Week currencies Solo Warlord’s Ruin challenge discussion Bows / glaives / swords only Emblem delivery concerns and API checks Thoughts on solo dungeon patience (or lack thereof) First impressions of Desert Perpetual Encounter pacing, feats, mechanics Loot impressions and dopamine vs usefulness TWID changes to Lawless Frontier invasions Double invasions Concerns about PvP being forced into PvE Why rewards probably won’t justify it Explanation of Double Cross invasions Oath of the Renegade results Pikers comeback win “Take the Mantle” emblem details Updated New Player Guide (and why it should just be in-game) Game2Give wrap-up SGC total nearing $15,000 Live stream highlights Trials returning this weekend Martlet pulse rifle Midtown map SGC Crimson Days Feb 21 @ 1PM Eastern 2v2 bows-only PvP Casual 6v6 events throughout the month Catastrophe stream this weekend (Fall Guys, chaos, treadmill suffering) 🚀 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 🎙️ Like, subscribe, and hit the bell — we’ll keep you up to date on Destiny, Bungie decisions, and community chaos every week.

    Marathon’s Release Date, Destiny’s Missing Roadmap & Bungie’s Communication Problem | Ep. 137

    Send us a text Episode 137 is a two-game conversation — Destiny and Marathon, and the uncomfortable overlap Bungie now has to navigate. We break down Marathon’s confirmed March 5, 2026 release date, the value of its Collector’s Edition, pre-order performance, and what that timing means for Destiny’s upcoming Shadow and Order update. Then we dig into the bigger issue: Bungie’s silence, the missing roadmap, and why even patient players are starting to ask questions. There’s also a surprising amount of Game2Give info, emblem talk, Arms Week challenges, and some very real thoughts about player burnout — including the realization that sometimes “there’s nothing to do” just means you’ve played a lot. 🎙️ In This Episode Marathon release date confirmed: March 5, 2026 Why the timing clashes with Destiny’s Shadow and Order update (currently set for March 3) Paul Tassi’s report suggesting Shadow and Order may be delayed — and Bungie saying nothing Why Bungie not addressing this directly feels like a communication misstep Discussion on fiscal timing and why March actually makes sense for Marathon Marathon Collector’s Edition impressions and perceived value Pre-order performance on Steam & PlayStation (early top-10 placement) Whether Marathon has more momentum now than after the alpha and art controversy Thoughts on Bungie’s marketing strategy (and how creators drive sales) Game2Give livestream details (Jan 29 @ 10am PT) Bungie Through the Ages Gaming Showdown Guest appearances, Fireteam Feud, auctions “A Thousand Hugs” emblem availability during the stream Emblem discussion and historical pricing expectations Arms Week / Dark Age Hunt Solo Warlord’s Ruin with bows, glaives, and swords only Hardware modifier requirements Emblem + Movie of the Week potential Ongoing frustration with Destiny’s missing roadmap Honest conversation about endgame burnout and player expectations Community reminder for SGC Crimson Days (bows-only PvP chaos incoming) 🚀 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 Like, subscribe, and hit the bell — we’ll keep you ahead of the Destiny drama, Bungie decisions, and community chaos every single week.

    Dungeon Contest Drama, Renegades Marketing Misfires & Why Destiny Feels Too Easy | TWAS Ep. 134

    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.
