Now, let\u2019s get down to business on your weekly roundup of Destiny<\/i>– and Bungie-related news.<\/p>\nChallenge Fit for a Guardian<\/h2>\n
Season of Opulence is full steam ahead. You\u2019ve scoured the depths of the Menagerie, begun your quest for Truth, and taken the Crown of Sorrow. Our next stop on the roadmap begins June 25<\/b> with Menagerie Heroic mode<\/b>.<\/p>\n So, let\u2019s dig in. What does Calus have lined up for our most powerful Guardians?<\/p>\n Though we\u2019ll be watching, this won\u2019t be a race. We\u2019re excited to see how players customize their experience with various challenges to show off their skill. Can you defeat Heroic mode with fewer than six players? Maybe with specific loadouts? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n June isn\u2019t the only time when we live our values as a company, but it\u2019s a great opportunity to celebrate them. Here is an important message from the Bungie Diversity Committee<\/b> on how you can join us in expressing your pride, along with the people who make the games you play. <\/p>\n Pride Month is an exciting time of year, when we can all unite under a rainbow flag and celebrate our LGBTQIA+ family. Bungie has come together this month to do more than we’ve been able to accomplish before.<\/p>\n \u201cFor me, Pride means being able to be visible to someone who needs representation (even when they may not realize it), as opposed to how it used to be where visibility only meant being a target.\u201d \u2014Jayce D., Designer<\/b><\/p>\n We on the Bungie Diversity Committee are committed to improving Bungie\u2019s work culture, practices, and policies in order to make this community a more welcoming and inclusive space for our LGBTQIA+ employees and fans around the world. This work does not start and end in June; rather, it\u2019s a series of challenges that we work on every day, month after month. Here at Bungie, we know there are still a lot of ways we could be doing better. We also know that our industry sometimes drags its heels when it comes to necessary change. However, we must keep moving forward for the sake of our own teams, coworkers, families, and players who need to know that they are seen, accepted, welcomed, and loved for exactly who they are.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the most empowering things I\u2019ve experienced is the acknowledgement that I exist in a world that generally pretends otherwise. This was the greatest gift games have ever given me, and one of the most important things I want to do as a developer is give that gift to players.\u201d \u2014David S., Engineer<\/b><\/p>\n We look forward to celebrating Pride Month with all of you. Let\u2019s keep our eyes up, and do our part to forge a brighter future.<\/p>\n \u2014Bungie Diversity Committee<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The members of Destiny Player Support navigate the help forum daily, spreading helpful tips on how to work around issues or collecting data on any newly surfaced problems within Destiny 2<\/i>. This week, they have some super good advice on how to keep your Truth quest on the right track.<\/p>\n This is their report.<\/p>\n Fall 2019 FAQ Update<\/b><\/p>\n Q: What is included with Bungie Store purchases of physical editions of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep<\/i>?<\/b><\/p>\n A: Digital products delivered via email before September 17, 2019:<\/p>\n Players who selected and purchased the \u201cNo Game Code\u201d option for Destiny 2: Shadowkeep<\/i> will not receive any codes leading up to the September 17, 2019 release date.<\/p>\n Collector\u2019s Edition exclusive physical collectible bundle contents delivered on or before September 17, 2019:<\/p>\n Q: When should players expect Destiny 2: Shadowkeep<\/i> to ship from the Bungie Store?<\/b><\/p>\n A: Physical editions of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep<\/i> will ship to players on or before September 17, 2019. Included digital codes will be delivered by email to players on or before September 17, 2019. Players should be aware that Bungie Store codes included with Shadowkeep<\/i> physical edition purchases will arrive only by email, and that no versions include any codes in the box.<\/p>\n Players who selected and purchased the \u201cNo Game Code\u201d option for Destiny 2: Shadowkeep<\/i> will not receive any codes leading up to the September 17, 2019 release date.<\/p>\n Q: Who should players contact with concerns regarding their Bungie Store physical edition purchase of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep<\/i>?<\/b><\/p>\n Additionally, we\u2019ve revised the following questions for clarity in response to player feedback:<\/p>\n Q: Do players need to repurchase Destiny 2<\/i> on each cross-save platform separately?<\/b><\/p>\n A: Destiny 2<\/i> will be accessible to players on all available platforms for free as Destiny 2: New Light.<\/i> However, players will need to purchase Destiny 2<\/i> expansions (Forsaken<\/i>, Shadowkeep<\/i>) for each connected platform in order to access that expansion\u2019s content. Cross save will preserve all gear, character, and items across all platforms regardless of expansion ownership.<\/p>\n Q: Can players merge different characters, items, or Triumphs from different accounts? <\/b><\/p>\n A: Cross Save does not feature any form of account, character, or progress merging. Selecting a set of characters for Cross Save does not delete or alter the data of any other character sets. Other character sets will be inaccessible for use as long as Cross Save is active. <\/p>\n Q: Will Stadia feature cross-play with Steam or other platforms?<\/b><\/p>\n A: Cross-play will not be available for any platform in 2019. We are investigating this feature for Destiny 2<\/i>, but we have no official announcements to make at this time.<\/p>\n Destiny 2<\/i> Season of Opulence Known Issues<\/b><\/p>\n Listed below are the latest player-impacting issues discovered in Season of Opulence:<\/p>\n The movies keep rolling in. With players finding new pinnacle and Menagerie weapons to add to their arsenal, we\u2019re seeing some great plays in the wild. Not only that, but fireteams of three taking on the Crown of Sorrow raid.<\/p>\n Movie of the Week: Three-player Crown of Sorrow<\/b><\/p>\n [youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NgPiat9RZlQ?wmode=transparent&rel=0&fs=1&w=1136&h=641] <\/p>\n Honorable Mention: You use your anger well, Guardian<\/b><\/p>\n [youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=c3dAKjRA4VM?wmode=transparent&rel=0&fs=1&w=1136&h=641] <\/p>\n This weekend, I\u2019ll be on the hunt for some Iron Banner gear with enhanced perk rolls. This is your first chance for enhanced perks through the Crucible, so get to it! Lord Saladin is offering a new quest to unlock each piece, so make sure to complete the appropriate quest step for your desired armor piece before exchanging tokens for random rolls. If you\u2019re a sniper, I highly recommend the enhanced Unflinching Sniper Aim perk for chest pieces.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll see you next week for Menagerie Heroic mode. Prep your fireteam accordingly. <\/p>\n Cheers,<\/p>\n Dmg04<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This week at Bungie, we prepare for Calus\u2019s new challenge.
