• Since they are going to need to hype up the next DLC drop, they are (in their own words) dusting off their Twitch studio (which they had promised to use more often), and are doing two streams this month: a Bungie Bounty and Raid-along.
  
  
• They acknowledge the terrible console loading times, and next season will include an update that allegedly reduces the Orbit-to-EDZ load time from over two minutes, to over one minute. An oddly specific example, but as far as loading into the game itself, or the annoying UI load times, Bungie says "we’re continuing to investigate... when more information is available, we’ll provide updates."
  
  
• Spectral blades are getting Energy and speed tweaks to make the Super more viable, but are also nerfing the attack speed. "This is not intended as a nerf", says Bungie.
  
  
• The Chaos Reach Super bug will be getting fixed, rewarding you less Super the sooner you deactivate it, to prevent pop-n-stop Supers.
  
  
• They're looking into adding back the D1 functionality of letting you reset raid checkpoints.
  
  
• Gambit Free Trial
  Starts: 9 AM 11/9/2018
  Ends: 9 AM 11/11/2018
  Double Infamy the whole weekend, just for CougRon.
  
  
• The last Iron Banner of the season:
  Starts: 9 AM 11/13/2018
  Ends: 9 AM 11/20/2018
  Apparently Triumphs are tied to season, so get them while the gettin's good!
  
  
• If you're doing the Luna's Howl or Not Forgotten quests, both require you to prestige your Crucible Rank. If you haven't done that by November 27, your progress will be reset.
  

Neat stuff!
