Destiny 2 Shows Off Mysterious Trials Of The Nine Trailer

The short teaser trailer features a set of three symbols — and a little more — which will be discussed more below. But for now, here is the teaser: Fans may recognize the three symbols that appear to be the logo for Trials of the Nine, as they were the logos that game director Luke Smith wore on his second hoodie during the Destiny 2 Reveal Event in May 2017 (the first hoodie featured the logo for the Leviathan raid, which debuted earlier this week)....

Destiny 2 Summit Helped Bungie Re Evaluate A Feature

In a new story mentioned on the Destiny Community Podcast, content creator Datto revealed that Bungie presented an idea it had been working on in a future Destiny 2 update. After hearing it in full, the new feature ultimately wasn’t well received by the visiting content creators, which Bungie quickly took back to the drawing board and made a number of much better tweaks for it. The concerning thing to the DCP crew was that Bungie originally thought that the idea was great and if it had decided to not run it by the community, it would have likely set fans off once more....

Destiny 2 Switches Trials Map After Bug Is Found

While the first Destiny 2 players into Trials of the Nine did play on the Altar of Flame map, the bug was discovered less than two hours after Trials went live and the change was made.

Destiny 2 Teases Fusion Rifle Pvp Nerf In March

Responding to feedback on Twitter regarding Fusion Rifles, Destiny 2 community manager dmg04 reveals that Bungie has been looking into these weapons for a while. In addition, Bungie will have more to say about what’s changing in the sandbox in the next couple of weeks as they preview the changes before the new season arrives in March. While he stops short of saying whether or not Fusion Rifles are getting nerfed, it hasn’t stopped the community from speculating that certain Fusions are going to be brought back in line with other weapon types....

Destiny 2 Update Brings Major Changes To The Sandbox

For starters, Nightfall strikes are getting new unique rewards that players can earn through any form of the Nightfall activity. Drop rates for these rewards will increase based on the score the players receive during the activity. The strike playlist is also receiving a minor tweak to ensure that players will no longer play the same strike back-to-back. Originally, the Heroic Strike playlist was also set to include modifiers with this update....

Destiny 2 Video Shows How Bad Pvp Hitboxes Aim Assist Can Be

Destiny 2 player Calico shared a video on Twitter showcasing the inconsistency in hitbox registration when it comes to hand cannon shots and the favorable aim assist that exists in the game. In the video, Destiny 2 players can see that there is a larger radius around a Guardian’s head that will register a precision hit. If a player shoots just outside of that radius then they miss, but the hit box itself is pretty generous....

Destiny 2 Wastes Characters Fans Are Excited To See

But the world of Destiny has a story problem, and Destiny 2 is no exception. Bungie takes mythical characters and introduces them into the story, and these characters fall flat. Even just in Destiny 2, characters like Xol and Osiris are not given justice through the stories Bungie tells. Osiris This problem is not exclusive to Destiny 2, but the Curse of Osiris and Warmind expansions highlight this problem perfectly....

Destiny 2 Will Not Offer Ranked Pvp Multiplayer At Launch

Game Director Luke Smith told PC Gamer in an interview that the fan-requested feature would not make the cut for “the September launch.” It appears, however, that Ranked could be in the cards for the future of Destiny 2: Smith is very careful not to commit here, using similar language that fans have heard Bungie use to answer questions in the past such as if matchmaking would ever be implemented for raids or if Year 1 raids would ever make a return to current Light levels....

Destiny Figures Revealed By Mcfarlane Toys

As seen below in the image courtesy of IGN, Destiny fans can get a good gander at how McFarlane Toys have depicted the game’s Warlock, Titan, and Hunter classes, with each having a distinctive style all of their own.

That maintenance will take place on Tuesday, August 8 starting at 8 a.m. Pacific (3 p.m. UTC). It is expected to be complete four hours later at 12 p.m. Pacific (7 p.m. UTC).

Destiny Nightfall Rewards To Be Improved Along With An Increase In Strange Coin Drops

Prior to the launch of The Taken King, the weekly Nightfall mission rewarded players with a buff that granted a small experience boost for the rest of the week, prompting many to complete the strike early to maximize the benefit. To curb the behavior, Bungie removed the buff completely during the massive 2.0 update, and lessened the difficulty by adding a checkpoint system rather than kicking the fireteam back to orbit upon death....

Destiny S Playstation Exclusive Sniper Is Kind Of Insane

The unique exotic perks of the weapon are called “Dynamite” and “With a Laser Beam” (an obvious nod to Queen’s song “Killer Queen”). These perks work together so that if every shot with the three rounds in the clip are each a kill, an extra round is granted which causes higher damage as well as a giant explosion. Many Destiny YouTubers and streamers have challenged themselves to try to get the three rapid kills and finish with the explosive fourth round....

Detroit Bullpen Self Destructs Again Late In Loss To Toronto

Saturday’s game in Toronto added yet another chapter that Tigers fans would probably rather not read. Ever. Detroit led 2-1 heading into the bottom of the ninth. Starter Max Scherzer had struck out 11 Blue Jays in his eight innings of work and given up just four hits. Manager Brad Ausmus turned to closer Joe Nathan to, well, close out the game. Nathan entered the contest with a 5.18 ERA and had thrown 26 pitches the previous day, so what unfolded wasn’t entirely shocking....

Destiny 2 S 6V6 Iron Banner Delayed

6v6 Iron Banner was set to make a comeback in Destiny 2 after high demand for a return to Destiny 1-inspired Crucible matches. However, 6v6 is on the backburner until the game-breaking bug can be fixed. During internal testing, Bungie found that when certain score and game timer conditions were met, all players were booted back to orbit with ANTEATER errors. Instead of Iron Banner, Rumble will be the weekly Crucible playlist next week....

Destiny 2 S New Stasis Supers Are So Broken They Are Melting Raid Bosses

At present, Bungie says it will not delay the release of the new Destiny 2: Beyond Light raid. The developer is likely working as hard as possible to find the source of a new bug/glitch and how best to squash it. But if the studio cannot do so in time, it will almost assuredly have to either disable something or delay the raid.
