The Weekly Update has been posted., and it starts with a few paragraphs about all the things to chase: gear rolls, Triumphs, titles, power level, etc.

We have some more tricks up our sleeves to keep your Guardian lifestyle rich and exciting, and those conversations will begin soon. In the meantime, there are still some questions we’d like to answer about how the day-to-day experience will be changing with the next round of updates.

The Malfeasance quest is addressed. Short version is that they're increasing the chance for that Primeval to spawn. During week three, the most-cursed version of the Dreaming City, it will have an "almost" equal chance to spawn as any other Primeval (again the with being vague--what's "almost" mean? 90%? 75%?). It will be less on any other week, but they are increasing the chances during those weeks from what it currently is.

As a result, subsequent kills of that Primeval will no longer result in a guaranteed drop of the ship or sparrow.

They are bringing back quitter penalties (although increasing the number of games you must leave to incur such penalties). No mention of people quitting to screw the other team out of the Malfeasance boss kill.

They are changing heavy ammo economy in Gambit. Notably, Sleeper only gets 2 shots from a heavy brick now, rather than four. Swords get more than they used to.

There is an update scheduled for October 16:

-Hover over Lost Sectors to see the name of that Lost Sector (once it has been discovered)
-Track up to three pursuits
-Added three heavy weapons to the World Legendary pool, so Edge Transit has some alternatives
-Increasing Scout Rifle damage in PvE
-Transmat effects added to Collections
-A few other things

Another update on October 30:

-Adjusting Exotic rewards to help reduce the number of duplicate drops
-The chance for a Nightfall Unique Reward to drop will increase each time a Nightfall is completed without a unique drop
-Adding Masterwork Cores as rewards for specific Spider “Wanted” bounties and general Scrapper bounties
-Reducing the time for single-shader deletion from your inventory
-some other stuff

The Last Wish Raid will not have a Prestige mode. The raid is just the raid.

Festival of the Lost starts on October 16. Ends with a quest to solve a murder, apparently.

Player Support Report and Movie of the Week cap it off, as usual.
