This Week at Bungie – 8/06/20

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/this-week-at-bungie-8-06-20.jpg" width="1920" height="1080" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>This week at Bungie, we’re getting ready for Solstice of Heroes.</p>
<p>Once again, it’s time for the annual tradition of honoring Guardians and your great accomplishments. Our free summer event, Solstice of Heroes, starts next week on August 11.&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The European Aerial Zone is back and full of Hive, Cabal, and Fallen enemies for you to dispatch. Defeat as many of the bosses as you can in a fireteam of three and then hunt for chests that are hidden away around the floating island. The more bosses you take down, the more rewards you will earn.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Armor&nbsp;</h3>
<p>This year, we have a new approach to Solstice of Heroes armor that we think is going to give you far more flexibility on how you show off your Solstice-ness.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Similar to previous years, you will start with a Rare set and upgrade it into a Majestic Legendary set. Once you have all of your Legendary gear, you can start a final set of objectives to upgrade it to a Magnificent set. Here is a look at the objectives required:</p>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Complete a Nightfall Ordeal on the Master difficulty.</li>
<li>Complete a Nightmare Hunt.</li>
<li>Complete Pit of Heresy.</li>
<li>Win seven Trials of Osiris matches. (Not on a single Passage)</li>
<li>Complete a Tier 5 Altar of Sorrow three times.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>Completing these objectives will unlock a white glow on your armor. You need to upgrade your armor to Majestic during Solstice of Heroes but can continue to complete these objectives after the event ends. You can continue to earn more randomly rolled pieces for your Magnificent set in the EAZ.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<div>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Earning the Majestic Legendary set will unlock the option to purchase a Universal Ornament set from Eververse for either Silver or Bright Dust. This ornament will change its glow to match your Elemental subclass color. Unlike last year, you won’t need to purchase individual color glows. Each class set will be able to display three different elemental glows that will match whatever subclass you have equipped at the time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<div>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since the Elemental glow sets are Universal Ornaments, you will be able to apply them to any armor 2.0 pieces instead of only being able to apply them to your Solstice armor like before.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As a bonus, all of the Elemental Universal Ornaments will also support a fourth glow for players who equip the Stasis subclass when Beyond Light releases this fall.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<div>
<img src="https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/pkgs/139/139958/Solstice_2020_Stasis_Armor_Glows_16-9.jpg?cv=3983621215&amp;av=1225552948"></div>
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>One of our goals with the Solstice of Heroes armor was to improve the experience of earning over previous years. There won’t be any major armor updates, so once you earn your Majestic set it will be relevant up until next year’s event. The Elemental glows being made into Universal Ornaments will ensure you can use them on any of your high stat armor going forward.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Glows can’t be toggled on and off for Universal Ornaments. That is why this year’s glows are always on, as they are built into their Universal Ornaments.</p>
<p>The white glow on the Legendary Magnificent set are also always on once you complete the challenge for the corresponding piece. Both the white glows and the elemental glows will increase their intensity depending on how much super energy you have at the time.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Eververse&nbsp;</h3>
<p>The Eververse store will also have some shiny new things available. Every new Solstice of Heroes item will be available for both Silver and Bright Dust at some time during the event with the exception of the “Iron Severance” Finisher.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here is a quick look at some of the wares.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Our Player Support team is here to help. They are tracking known issues and making sure you have info on</p>
<p>This is their report.</p>
<blockquote>
<h3>MEANS TO AN END UPDATE</h3>
<div>In <a href="http://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/49419" title target>Hotfix 2.9.1.2</a>, we resolved an issue some players had where they couldn’t complete their “Means to an End” quest nor the Prismatic Recaster Weekly Challenge. To resolve the issue, the quest will now delete from player inventories at each weekly reset. If players try to hold onto their Pinnacle Engram from the Prismastic Recaster past the weekly reset, it will be lost and players will need to complete the new quest for that week to obtain another engram.</div>
<p>Additionally, players will now be able to complete the “Means to an End” quest on multiple characters of the same class. Each class is still restricted to a single Pinnacle reward engram and subsequent runs on characters of the same class will provide a non-powerful Legendary Engram instead.</p>
<div>Players still having issues should file a report in our <a href="https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Topics/?tg=Help" title target>#Help Forum</a>.</div>
<h3>API MAINTENANCE</h3>
<p>Until September 23, post-game carnage reports (PGCRs) won’t be available between 1-4 AM PDT due to database maintenance.</p>

<ul>
<li>Players should no longer have their name censored on Steam.</li>
<li>For players who can’t use chat while playing on PC, they can fix this issue by opting out of participating in the Steam Client Beta program.</li>
</ul>
