@unobtainaballs yup 26th it is…must have missed that the first read. Sorry bout that

I might be around for one of those, though not Raid, I won’t have the time for that tonight.
I’ll message you when I’m free (won’t be until later tonight).

I’ll be on later tonight. I still need to do all of Rat King. But anything is fine

Has anyone completed the Trials of Nine milestone yet?

I have been working on getting my 3 characters leveled up. I’ve got a Warlock just barely over 260, my Titan is in the 240s, and my stupid Hunter :grin: who is under 100 still. After watching the mynameisbyf video about the Titan Sea Leviathan I realised my stupid Hunter was in position to see it for himself.

Not me, tried it but we were wrecked. They were 297s and all running the Mida Multi/Mini. Before we could run to the bomb site to defend they planted the bomb and flanked us. There must be a speed perk I am not aware of.

I’m not suggesting you watch the whole video just the part where it starts until the 3:36 point

Thanks for the invite last night @Sniper_T1 - The Price is Right Gauntlet seems pretty straight forward, maybe next time you guys won’t have been playing for 10 hours when we try it. Not sure if all of those in the party were GRG, but tagging who I can remember.

@MR_DELIVERANCE @BrambledWhiskey @ezekielJP

2 of them weren’t GRG, the baby poop guy and the high schooler.

I think we were getting the Gauntlet down. That Psion kept tripping us up.

Yeah, I found another way to do it that may be a little easier

Destiny 2 Update 1.0.3 Adds Factions; Here Are The Patch Notes

Bungie has released a new update and shared the patch notes that detail everything it does.

Most notable in update 1.0.3 is the introduction of Faction Rallies. As detailed recently, these limited-time events allow you to pledge your loyalty to one of the three factions and then earn reputation tokens for performing certain tasks. These can be turned in for faction-themed rewards, with an exclusive weapon also up for grabs at the end of the event.

The patch otherwise largely deals with bug fixes, though there are also some changes to things that aren’t bugs. The Call to Arms Milestone, which tasks you with playing Crucible matches every week, will now require less progress to complete. This is intended to “align it with other weekly Milestones.” Additionally, the location of Power ammo has been adjusted for both Clash and Supremacy.

In terms of bug fixes, players should now properly receive their weekly clan Engrams, although you’ll still lose out on them during weeks where you leave a clan. Clan XP should also now be always handed out properly for participating in Public Events. And in Crucible, new measures have been taken to prevent players from leaving the map; that precise problem forced the most recent Trials of the Nine’s map and mode to be changed.

Full patch notes for the update follow below. Faction Rallies go live on September 26 following Destiny 2’s weekly reset.

I logged in this morning and they were on the map, but I could not find them. Is anyone else having this issue?

I heard if that happens you have to log out and then logo back in again.

In Lost Sectors, only the player who ultimately destroys an enemy resource will be granted a Faction Token. See: https://t.co/VjbWbCEAyz

Destiny 2 Iron Banner Details Leak

Destiny 2 has already revealed that the monthly PvP event from Destiny 1 known as Iron Banner will return in the sequel some time in October. Developer Bungie has yet to confirm details about the PvP event, which historically always occurred one week per month. However, fans have discovered some of the details surrounding the upcoming event from the game’s database.

If it isn’t clear by now, some spoilers for Iron Banner in Destiny 2 will follow.

One of the details discovered includes a milestone or quest that is associated with Iron Banner. Based on that, it is clear that Lord Saladin will once again be the vendor for Iron Banner. Lady Efrideet, who ran the event during the Rise of Iron expansion, is no longer involved based on this information, and instead Saladin will appear at “the Iron Banner grounds underneath the Traveler.”

In addition, it appears that the weekly and daily bounties are a thing of the past. It makes sense considering that bounties as they functioned in Destiny 1 no longer exist. Destiny 2 is now built on a system of milestones and quests. Similarly to the daily reputation milestones that refresh at each daily reset, it looks like Iron Banner will also have a daily milestone requiring players to complete 3 challenges in the Iron Banner and ending in a Reputation Bundle reward. That bundle will likely result in rewarding some sort of token that can be turned in for Iron Banner engrams.

While none of the gear that players can earned has leaked, also spotted in the database are two emblems themed for Iron Banner.

There is no telling when exactly in October Iron Banner will appear in the game, but those details may come later this week in Bungie’s weekly blog update. In addition to Iron Banner, players can also expect the Prestige mode of the Leviathan raid to debut sometime during the same month.
