While many were minor and impacted a relatively small number of players, others were major and forced Bungie to take immediate actions like disabling matchmaking improvements for solo players. Resolving all these issues is sure to be an ongoing process, and the first step towards addressing them is scheduled to hit next week. Destiny 2’s developer had a lot to say in their first post-Warmind edition of “This Week at Bungie....
Today’s hot fix for Destiny 2 can’t really be considered a major update in terms of new features or anything of that nature, with Bungie focusing on post-launch housekeeping for the most part. For instance, Update 1.0.3.1 dealt primarily with bug fixes, as it fixed an issue where clan Engrams were handed out with only 10 Power level, it rectified a problem involving the Veteran’s Transmat Effect, and it mended a situation in which the action button on Faction Rallies emblems displayed “Discard” instead of “Store....
This Destiny 2 Strike is a key part of the excellent Season of the Chosen story that Bungie has created and forms the finale of the Challenger’s Proving VII questline for this week. Any players that might be a bit out of the loop when it comes to Season of the Chosen’s story should catch up before getting through the quest and Proving Ground.

We also have a clan for any of our Game Rant readers on PS4, so feel free to join here. (Light spoilers for Destiny 2 follow.)

For players who are entering the world of Destiny 2 for the first time, there’s a lot of catching up to do before they can leap into Shadowkeep. Two years and four expansions have left Destiny 2 a confusing cavalcade of daily bounties, weekly challenges, special missions and public events. With only minimal hand-holding to steer players in-game, here’s our top three tips to help newcomers find their feet starside:...
Masterworking armor in Destiny 2 is relatively straightforward, although the materials required can be hard to obtain. For example, farming Ascendant Shards requires completion of Nightfall Strikes or flawless Trials of Osiris runs, two high-level endgame activities in which masterworked armor is already a given for most Guardians. On the other hand, the initial few levels are supplemented by the incredibly easy to obtain Legendary Shards, which comes from dismantled Legendary weapons....
The technique that’s called “sword flying” or “sword skating” is when players launch themselves horizontally to great distances at high speed in Destiny 2. This requires precise timing of certain inputs and allows players to skip long treks or sometimes encounters altogether. RELATED: Destiny 2 Fans Decipher Hidden Code in Stasis Trailer The return of sword flying is celebrated because before Season of the Worthy had dropped, Bungie revealed the upcoming overhaul to swords....
RELATED: Destiny 2 Shadowkeep Patch Notes Reveal All Changes Get Eris Morn’s Necklace The first step Destiny 2 players need to do is acquire a necklace and charge it. The bounty “Lunar Spelunker” will kick this whole process off. After completing the Lost Sectors and opening the Vault, players will be tasked with charging the necklace by defeating Nightmares (Sorrow’s Harbor is the best spot for this). Once charged, players will return the necklace to Eris....
Even at an average draft position landing him 15.05 overall (RB9), Murray currently has a higher standard deviation (4.03) than all non-QBs in the top 25, via the RotoViz app drawing from MyFantasyLeague $10 best-ball PPR drafts. This is a remarkable opinion divide for a player with an ADP in the top 15, and creates a tough decision for drafters assigned mid-round picks who are high on Murray but would ideally wait for the teens in Round 2....
While attempting to split two defenders on a fast break, Carroll appeared to hyperextend his knee and fell to the court in a lot of pain. Carroll was helped off the court by the training staff, and following a few encouraging words from James, headed to the locker room with his team trailing the Cavaliers by double digits. The Hawks are already without their best perimeter defender, Thabo Sefolosha, who broke his ankle during a bizarre incident involving police outside a night club in New York....
Wenger to leave out ’tired’ Alexis A double from Dele Alli helped Spurs to end their rivals’ 13-match winning run in the league to see the leaders’ advantage at the top cut to five points. Dembele acknowledged the significance of the win, saying that it was another example of Mauricio Pochettino’s team growing. “We have matured,” he told reporters. “We are now another year together. Dele is in his second season with us and is growing all the time....
But he watched Gennadiy Golovkin score a knockout victory over Steve Rolls and call out his rival Saul “Canelo” Alvarez for a trilogy fight in September. Andrade also watched Oscar De La Hoya jab at “GGG” by telling him he needs to grab a middleweight belt before fighting Canelo once again. And, well, the WBO middleweight champion simply could not resist letting his Twitter fingers talk for him. Join DAZN and watch Andrade vs....
US-based Peak6 Football Holdings bought a 25 per cent stake in Bournemouth three years ago. But the firm - co-founded by Matt Hulsizer, who has been involved at Minnesota Wild - has sold the stake back to Demin. Russian businessman Demin now owns 100 per cent of Bournemouth shares through his company AFCB Enterprises. Demin arrived at Bournemouth in 2011 and has overseen the club’s rise to the Premier League....
[HTML1] Wii U’s launch is still a few months away, but at the Nintendo World Store in New York, demo stations are already in place. In addition to showing off the system’s graphical capabilities and giving consumers a first chance to go hands-on with the GamePad, the demo systems also offer a tantalizing preview of what Wii U’s menus might look like. Video of that menu system has made its way online, courtesy of NintendoWorldReport....
The moderate freshman Democrat has long believed the process is too divisive, and its certain demise in the GOP-controlled Senate will only bolster President Donald Trump’s possibility of re-election. But while Van Drew is expected to cross the aisle—literally—to become a Republican, his voting record in Congress suggests he is anything but a member of the Grand Old Party. When he was prompted Tuesday to provide which issues other than impeachment that he agreed with Republicans on, the New Jersey lawmaker responded to a scrum of reporters just off the House floor: “American exceptionalism....
The Talmud tells us that God always preempts a blow with what heals it, in this case seeding a new, bipartisan populism into the fertile grounds of the Senate’s bipartisan abandonment of the working class. As such, it was a snapshot of American politics today: Many on both sides of the aisle have abandoned labor, while a precious few, also on both sides, seem to have recognized this fact and wish to remedy it....
Now, Democrats say sharply falling voter registration figures, fueled by the outbreak, in key states—along with the structural obstacles for voters of color, including voter suppression efforts—could be a problem for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, despite his strong lead in the polls in recent weeks. “I don’t think the primary problem with the Biden campaign or Democrats going into November is a messaging problem,” Cornell Belcher, President Barack Obama’s former pollster, told Newsweek....
The divided GOP primary was widely seen as a test of the future of the Republican Party, with Bolduc aligning himself with the party’s pro-Trump MAGA wing—though former President Donald Trump did not weigh in on the primary. His top opponent was New Hampshire Senate President Chuck Morse, who was viewed as the more moderate, traditional conservative option. With 82 percent of votes reported, Bolduc held a narrow lead of just over 1,000 votes over Morse, having received 46,343 votes compared to Morse’s 45,073....
Three federal jobless aid programs, first put in place by former President Donald Trump’s administration last March, will lapse Monday, with an estimated 7.5 million unemployed workers set to lose all their benefits. An additional 3 million will no longer receive a $300 weekly boost to the unemployment benefits provided by their state, according to estimates from the Century Foundation. Individuals set to lose benefits have shared their stories on social media in an apparent effort to encourage lawmakers to get behind an extension—while other supporters of an extension have criticized Biden and West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin—a moderate Democrat who has indicated he will vote against an extension in a Democrat-only budget bill—over the abrupt end to aid....
Noclip has previously worked on several thorough documentaries about the making of specific games, including a documentary on the development of Dishonored, so fans of Demon’s Souls can rest assured that this isn’t Noclip’s first rodeo. Noclip is interviewing developers from Bluepoint Games and Japan Studio, and judging by the amount of information packed into the project’s teaser trailer, they were happy to discuss the process of remaking Demon’s Souls....
