This Week At Moon's Still Haunted
-this week, Guardians have spent a lot of time dealing with nightmares. Season of the Haunted launched last week and we are getting some spicy new story arcs involving facing past traumas, as well as figuring out what the hell Calus might have been up to this whole time. The Leviathan is back and part of the Moon destination, but it is filled with the same fungi that we found aboard the Glykon, as well as Nightmares throughout. We've got a new dungeon to chat about and some rebranded Banana this week to get into as well!
-We have two new activities to partake in this season: Nightmare Containment public events (free2play for all) and the seasonal story missions: Sever. Hopefully you've had a chance to swing that Scythe around in the Leviathan and rip some enemy faces off with it's fire
-Speaking of fire.....we had the launch of Solar 3.0 this week! Solar 3.0 is leaning heavily into metas around solar explosions as well as healing/tankiness, it has already been fun seeing the different builds and strength that each subclass has leaned into. I hope everyone is contributing towards the 20 Million Nightmare Containment completions goal so we can get the rest of those fragments!
-Some Discord-related clarifications with the new season content: #season_of_moons_haunted_v2_spoilers is the place to discuss things in game - the story, sever missions, Duality dungeon, etc., anything that you can do or complete or is in the game right now but related to new content. #leaks_datamines_spoilers is for unreleased content, anything from the game files, leaked, datamined, etc. You need @Spoiler Channel Access to see both of these channels. With the launch of the new Duality dungeon the @Dungeons ping is getting a lot of work which is excellent! The team will be creating Dungeon Resource channels of some kind (similar to what we did for the Raid Resources) with graphics and helpful stuff
-This week Iron Banner returns in its modified version. Rift is the gamemode this week, Saladin aka Valus Forge will be front and center of the event (remember it will only be active 2x this season so get in while the getting's good), power level is disabled in Iron Banner so expand those loadouts. We've got a new Seal as well for Iron Banner - Iron Lord - that players can begin working on this week.
-Kargen and the Insight Terminus is the Nightfall this week, and Showdown is the crucible rotator. The Raid rotator is Garden of Salvation and the Dungeon rotator is Pit of Heresy
-we do have hotfix at reset today just a head's up for the reset gamers!
-Starting Friday is the GCX Charity Marathon. Each year this is a chance for Guardians to contribute to the St. Jude mission and earn some sweet emblems and prizes. A $25 donation to the GCX marathon gets you the Spectral Sea emblem and a $60 donation will get you the new Euclidean Theorem emblem, and Bungie should have their own 4-hour block during the marathon during which prizes can be had and we've gotten some great content out of in the past. That info will likely show up in TWAB this week so keep an eye out.
-Speaking of St Jude, thank you again to everyone who donated to my campaign. I had to cut it short a week due a death in the family, but we still managed to raise $1270, and every dollar matters for the kids.
-Very excited to see where this season takes us, I know many of us are enjoying the lore and fun to be had in game. Go get that spark this week and pew pew some more nightmares. Cheers!
-Witty
