In Destiny 1, The Lighthouse was only accessible by amassing nine wins without a single loss during a single Trials of Osiris elimination Crucible run. However, in Destiny 2, things are going to be changing. According to the official Twitter, “The Lighthouse was once reserved for Crucible champions. In ‘Curse of Osiris’, all players will discover it at the center of their journey”.

The latest “This Week at Bungie” article has been published to give Destiny 2 players the latest news about the game. Of particular note in this week’s discussion is the fact that bringing Clan Chat into D2 is “one of our highest priorities”.

The latest Destiny 2 blog post has been published on the Bungie site with its most notable feature being a preview of a rather significant update heading into the game sometime next week. A ton of improvements are being made to the emote interface, weapon mods, exotics as well as rewards and incentives. In addition, Crucible PvP will have private matches added in “early 2018”.

After a day’s worth of the rumor mill grinding away about Destiny 2 and mass bans ostensibly at the hands of third-party programs like Discord overlays, Bungie has responded definitively in order to stop the flow of disinformation. Pop through the jump to read the full response.

Bungie had a rather rocky day with yesterday’s Destiny 2 launch as hundreds of players flocked to the internet to complain they had been banned for “third party application” usage. Many opined that using Discord overlays and other game capture programs were triggering the ban hammer. Bungie came in to reassure the fan base that bans were not being issued for using third-party programs. “Applications that aren’t compatible with D2 may cause the game not to run but not result in a ban”.

Nvidia is prepping everyone for this week’s launch of two of the most keenly anticipated games for PC players. The latest drivers have been released that bring performance optimizations for both Friday’s release of Assassin’s Creed: Origins and today’s arrival of Destiny 2. The 388.00 WHQL drivers are out and can be downloaded via your desktop GE Force Experience app or directly from the Nvidia site.

If you’re a PC player and have been anxiously awaiting the release of Destiny 2, your time is nearly at hand. The BattleNet launcher has been updated so that you can preload the game starting today in preparation for the October 24th release date. The client weighs in at about 38Gb, but servers seem to be moving along at a good clip.

Bungie opened the first Destiny 2 prestige raid earlier today (10:00 am Pacific / 1:00 pm Eastern) and just over an hour later, Clan Redeem has defeated it. Clan Redeem beat Leviathan a scant four-minutes ahead of the next finisher, something Bungie deemed a “good game”.

The latest This Week at Bungie has been published that should twitterpate a lot of Destiny PC players. The official worldwide launch times are now available with the bottom line being that everyone will start at the same time (10:00 am Pacific / 1:00 pm Eastern) on October 24th. In addition, Bungie has updated both the minimum and recommended specs for the game with alterations since the end of the recent open beta event.

The latest weekly newsletter for Destiny 2 has been published on the Bungie site. In it, players learn that one of the first game’s most popular features is returning in Destiny 2: the Iron Banner. It’s a bit different than before so it’s important to check out the details.
