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)....

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....

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. Bungie made the announcement via Twitter and changed the map to Eternity as well as the accompanying Countdown mode. Eternity is the new Trials of the Nine map that debuted with the first weekend of the endgame PvP event....

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....

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 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....

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....

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....

The recently added Eververse Trading Company has also been updated as well, letting players purchase additional Treasures of the Lost mystery bags in exchange for silver, a purchasable currency available to Destiny: The Taken King players. In addition, Tess has three new Halloween-themed emotes available for purchase including Boo (300 Silver), Monster Dance (500 Silver), and Zombie Dance (700 Silver), which is essentially the dance Michael Jackson made famous in his video for “Thriller....

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. This specific Color Tops lineup of Guardians features a Warlock wearing garb representing the King’s Fall raid in Destiny’s The Taken King DLC, an orange-colored Titan sporting armor from Destiny’s Vault of Glass, and a Hunter decked out in gear that can be acquired from Lord Saladin’s Iron Banner challenges....

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). There is always the chance that maintenance will need to be extended, which has sometimes happened in the past as Bungie has worked on the game’s servers. During this timeframe, the game will be completely down and players will not be able to sign into Destiny servers....

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....

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....

To keep players motivated and interested, Bungie has been adding new challenges to the Wrath of the Machine raid. This week, Bungie has hinted that a new Aksis specific challenge that uses a somewhat hidden mechanic that helps to supercharge Guardians and stun the big metal beast. While players wait for the next big event to arrive, they can join Lady Efrideet in the Iron Banner this week. More on that in a bit....

In the latest edition of its weekly newsletter, Bungie has detailed a number of known issues currently facing the game and confirmed that a fix is on the way soon. The list includes a number of minor bugs that were recently introduced within update 2.4, such as a weird visual issue that makes the screen appear to be using a lot of film grain. Updates to quest tracking problems, issues impacting revive timers, and a tweak to the volume of Lord Shaxx during Crucible matches will be deployed on September 19 within hotfix 2....

The game, originally released by the now-defunct Pandemic in 2005, is now being remade by Black Forest Games in Germany and is being published by THQ Nordic. THQ Nordic scooped up the rights to Destroy All Humans! along with over 23 other THQ titles back in 2013, and then announced last year that it would be remaking Destroy All Humans!

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....

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....

Players can find Osiris at a new Mercury destination called the Sundial Spire. After first speaking with Ikora, players will be venturing to Mercury to speak with him in order to begin the new quest chains that take place on the Tangled Shore and Mars. However, many Destiny 2 players have noticed that upon interacting with the Warlock, he may sometimes simply not trigger expected behavior or offer the next step in the quest chain....

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.
