The latest This Week at Bungie, the team goes over the biggest things and events going on in Destiny 2. Senior Designer Jon Weisnewski goes on record with the community about his team’s work to make “exotics more exotic-er” going forward. To do so, a tuning pass will be applied to all Exotic gear that is specifically focused on “adding and/or increasing player Power spikes”. He provides an example how this process will work as it applies to the Graviton Lance.

The latest This Week at Bungie has been posted that lays out a number of big changes coming to Destiny 2 and Nightfall Strikes. Most notably, timer settings will change based on player feedback that indicated the timer was “pretty stressful” and that players would like to be able to move through them at their own pace. To address this, a number of changes will be coming as revealed by several Destiny 2 team members.

Destiny 2 players will be seeing the return of the Crimson Days festival that brings a Valentine’s Day event into the game. The Destiny 2 version will feature 2v2 Clash PvP mode and The Burnout map in the Crucible (formerly known as the Burning Shrine).

When Bungie posted the extensive roadmap for Destiny 2 updates over the next several months, it neglected to reveal the date for Expansion 2, likely called Gods of Mars. However, Game Director Christopher Barrett put out a Tweet to confirm that it will arrive in May alongside Season 3.

Bungie has posted a brief, but informative, roadmap of what players can expect in Destiny 2 from now through May. The next two updates will arrive on February 27th and March 27th respectively, with a third update coming in May, though no precise date was revealed.

The latest “This Week at Bungie” has been posted to give the latest updates to Destiny 2. It begins with the good news that players will now be able to acquire items directly from Lord Saladin during each event. The next set of items he will have in stock is listed in the letter.

The latest This Week at Bungie has been published. In what feels like the umpteenth time for Bungie, they have admitted to causing a furor in the Destiny 2 community. This time the issue involved the addition of Season 2 weapons to Faction Engrams. “It was not made clear beforehand that the new season 2 weapons would be added throughout the events of the Season rather than all at once at the beginning. This was on us. No excuses.”

The latest round of Faction Rallies has kicked off in Destiny 2, this time running through January 23rd. Players will be able to pledge loyalty to the faction of choice to earn some pretty sweet looking armor ornaments from the Future War Cult, New Monarchy, or Dead Orbit. Players can also see the winning faction able to purchase a weapon for a price based on the pledge made.

The latest Bungie development update has been published, this time penned by Game Director Christopher Barrett. The letter details a number of immediate changes coming to the game, as well as outlines more long term goals for D2 overall.

Bungie has announced that the first Destiny 2 comic, “Fall of Osiris”, is now available on the official site. The story is written by Dinosaur Comics’ Ryan North and is intended to grow the game’s universe. “Fall of Osiris” provides a backstory for the recently released DLC.
