This Week at Bungie is now available on the Destiny 2 page and features all the big news for the past seven days. A new webcomic series will be starting soon, the first “issue” of which will be an Osiris and Ikora origin story called “Fall of Osiris”. The story is being written by Ryan North (The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Dinosaur Comics) in cooperation with Destiny 2’s Narrative Lead Christine Thompson.

For the second time in two weeks, Bungie has admitted that it is damaging its reputation with the Destiny 2 community. First it was the squelching of end-game experience gains, now it is the recent issue of locking activities behind a DLC pay wall. The Power Level requirements for Trials of the Nine, Prestige Leviathan, and Prestige Nightfall were raised sufficiently to exclude players without the Curse of Osiris DLC. “These plans”, admits Bungie, “aren’t working.”

Yes, you can have your Destiny 2 with you at all times thanks to today’s announcement by Amazon and Bungie. A free voice skill for Amazon’s Alexa is available called “Ghost Skill” that allows players to “create brand new ways to interact with the game” through the use of commands.

Rather than run a Destiny 2 live stream today, Bungie opted to post a detailed blog to provide players with insight into its lack of transparency over the recently discovered XP mechanic. Over the course of the last week, players have been loudly castigating Bungie for what it felt was a way to unfairly treat high end players. “Our intention was to keep slower-paced activities as rewarding as high intensity grinding without confusing variations in displayed XP values”, Bungie wrote.

With a rising tide of angry customers clamoring for fixes to Destiny 2, the team has opted to cancel tomorrow’s live stream that was to showcase Curse of Osiris weapons and armor. Instead, fans will “hear from studio leadership about their assessment of Destiny all up, they’ll talk about our goals for the game going forward and you’ll also learn about how we’re reacting to your feedback with some updates that will arrive in the next few weeks”.

The Destiny 2 player community has been complaining via Reddit about what it perceives as intentional squelching of XP at max level when players earn Bright Engrams, essentially the loot box for D2. These can contain emotes, ships and sparrows. Breaking its silence, Bungie has acknowledged that this “throttling” of XP at max level was indeed in place and that it would be deactivating the system immediately.

Destiny 2 players who answer the Clarion Call this weekend will be able to score double XP, though there is a caveat. If you want to score the double XP, you’ll need to be part of a Clan and a Fireteam with at least one other Clan member. These events will become weekly over time so it might be a good time to join up.

During a special live stream event on Wednesday, November 15th, Destiny 2 developers will be showing off the first information about the forthcoming Curse of Osiris expansion. During the stream, viewers will get a look at some of the locations they’ll visit as well as NPCs they’ll meet and monster they’ll battle.
