<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgamedev.win/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/this-week-at-bungie-11-30-2017.gif" width="1164" height="225" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>This week at Bungie, we’re looking forward to new reasons to play Destiny 2.</p>
<p>The development team has shared some details on how the game is about to change. We’ve started an ongoing conversation to discuss the state of Destiny 2, and outlined the direction we’d like to take moving forward. Updates are inbound to add new content, alter existing systems, and address some bugs that have impacted the player experience. If you haven’t tuned in, we have two ways to get caught up:</p>

Dive in and make your opinion known. Upvote a thread or start your own. While we can’t respond to every thread, know that your voices are being heard. I’ll be forwarding feedback to the team as it comes, and we will be looking at ways we can improve our communication with you moving forward.</div>

If you wish to remain unspoiled, scroll on. We fully understand the desire for discovery while you’re playing the game. If you want an idea of what gear you’ll be adding to your inventory, here’s a taste:</p>

<div>This week’s Movie of the Week was difficult to call. Too much great content on the <a href="https://www.bungie.net/en/Community/Creations?sort=1" title="" target="">Community Creations</a> page. The skill required for the videos below is something to behold – one displaying handcrafted armor, the other showcasing sniper rifle precision that made my jaw drop to the floor.</div>

<div>Winners of the Movie of the Week will find a sweet emblem within their vault collections. <a href="https://twitter.com/a_dmg04" title="" target="">I’ll let you know</a> when the goods have been delivered. Major props, and thanks for the great videos!</div>
<p>It’s been a busy week. We’ve begun a conversation that we’re looking to continue as Destiny 2 evolves. While Cozmo is out, I’ll be collecting feedback and forwarding it to the development team, whether it concerns our recent round of blog content or how you feel about Curse of Osiris once it’s in your hands. Even after Cozmo’s back, I’ll continue to lend a hand in the process. Your concerns are heard, your passion is vital, and we’re looking to keep you coming back for more.</p>
<p>Next stop, Mercury.</p>
