This Week at Bungie has been posted.

They start by talking about the the curse to the Dreaming City, and confirm that it is on a three week cycle (which I think means that the "pristine" version of the Dreaming City we saw before the raid won't be repeated).

They also mention the new Crucible mode.

They address the Masterwork Core issues some people have. The TL;DR is that they are changing the name of this item to reflect that it's no longer just for Masterworking items, and they are going to add more sources of them to adjust their availability.

They also address the Exotic drop rates, with the solution of increasing the chances of exotic engrams dropping an item you don't already have. (Seriously, Bungie, this isn't really effective communication--what's that mean? Are you increasing it by 1% or 50%? Dupe protection? Vague comments like this tell us absolutely nothing.)

They talk about Iron Banner. They are going to reduce the difficulty of bounties (for example, getting 20 super kills instead of 25), and every bounty will now reward Powerful gear.

They also provide a handy graph of how much Power matters:

This graph shows the power curve for being under-leveled, but it is effectively the opposite for being over-leveled.

They show off some art from High Moon studios and their work in Forsaken (I'm glad to see the other developers' work highlighted!)

They talk about new Holiday cards.

Then Player Support Report and Movie of the Week and Bungie Bounty schedule.
