Bungie’s Last Curse of Osiris Stream Canceled to Address Higher Priority Issues

Yesterday was supposed to be the last stream leading up to Curse of Osiris, however the stream was canceled due to the backlash Bungie was receiving. Earlier this week a Redditor that goes by EnergiserX did some testing and found out that the number displayed for how much experience was earned didn’t match the experience bar at the bottom. We later found out, in a Bungie post that addressed this problem – experience will scale up if playing longer or activities like Crucible, and Leviathan Raid. Playing quick and monotonous activates like Public Events will scale down. In the same post, Bungie has deactivated that system due to the reaction of the community. This made a sour taste for players in the community – as they thought Bungie hasn’t been transparent as past years. Due to this kerfuffle Bungie announced, a day before the stream – that it was canceled to address bigger issues in the game. This was a great change to the schedule, though the new gears would’ve been awesome

Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris Stream #2 – “New Ways to Play”

Last week Bungie hosted part 1 of a 3-part stream talking about Osiris, Mercury, the Lighthouse, and the Raid Lair. Yesterday’s stream was the second part and in the stream, they went more in-depth about the activities on Mercury. We saw the biggest public event in Destiny, narrative Strikes, the Infinite Forest, and more information on the forge. Even though they gave us meaty information about the expansion they are keeping other aspect of the expansion hidden for us players to discover. This stream we welcome back DeeJ as our host, as well as Dave Matthews (Art Director) and Dan Miller (Game Director). After the introductions of the hosts they dived into the biggest public event in Destiny. The event was prerecorded because public events are random, and no one knows how long it would take to spawn. The Biggest Public Event in Destiny This public event is exclusive to Mercury and each phase has a hand-crafted area designed just for this public event. With every phase the

Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris Stream #1 – “New Stories to Tell”

With just under three weeks until the release of Curse of Osiris – Destiny 2’s first expansion, Bungie and their teams are hosting streams leading up to the release. These streams will be held on November 29 th , 21 st , and the 15 th . Each stream will have a main theme that will reveal more of the expansion. The final stream, held on the 29 th is centered around “New Gears to Earn” showing off new gear and weapons along with some new PvP maps. The stream held on the 21 st is all about “New Ways to Play” and all the activities that will challenge you and your Fireteam. The first stream has gone and went; however, we did see somethings that the community wanted – including me. At the beginning of the stream, Bungie revealed a new trailer for Curse of Osiris. The trailer showed us Osiris and his Ghost – Sagira chatting while they were infiltrating the Vex. He passes through the Vex gate and pauses time to helps the other guardians. Osiris then, looks into a time gate and sees a

“The Curse of Osiris” DLC Is Enough to Bring Players Back to Destiny 2

When Destiny 2 launched two months ago, everybody who had played it had a really great experience. Whether that be doing the campaign missions, strikes, playing PvP in crucible or trials, or even the head bashing leviathan raid. It was one of the most talked about game for the majority of September. However, after the honey moon stage of the game many players saw the flaws of the end-game. After the raid, there wasn’t much to do outside of Nightfall and Trials. Both Nightfall and Trials are challenging, but for the non-PvP players the only thing to look forward every week are the Nightfall and simple world activities. Trials is also a challenging activity, but not everyone bought into the changes of PvP and few players don’t want to engage with other players. The question is how much content will be featured in the first DLC? Well, we got our first look and release date for “The Curse of Osiris” On Monday October 30 th PlayStation revealed a trailer, as well as a release da
