Shoutout to Bungie for improving the Rite of Nine experience on the fly
[quote]Starting today, our planned Rite of the Nine Dungeon Calendar will be changing. Each Dungeon will be featured for two weeks as opposed to three, and we are increasing Nonary Manifold currency drop rates which can be exchanged for additional weapons. With this change, Ghosts of the Deep will now launch next Tuesday, May 20 followed by Prophecy on June 3.
Alongside the above change, the second week of a given dungeon will also feature increased weapon drops, where rewards can drop from any enemy defeated. Holofoils are included in this as well!
For this week, we are rapidly working on an update that will turn on increased weapon drops in Spire of the Watcher until Ghosts of the Deep becomes the featured Dungeon next week. We'll let you know when that's deployed.
Starting on June 17, all Rite of the Nine Dungeons will be available to play at any time on any difficulty - and increased currency drops will be active for all three dungeons. Each week a featured dungeon will have increased weapon drops. This will begin with Spire of the Watcher on June 17, followed by Ghosts of the Deep on June 24 and ending with Prophecy on July 1.
On July 8, a "lootapalooza" will begin; all three dungeons will have all rewards bonuses enabled for the final week of Episode Heresy alongside a new way to spend your Nonary Manifold currency. We hope this gives all Guardians ample time to hunt for Holofoils and Adepts as they prepare for The Edge of Fate's launch on July 15.[/quote]
Credit where credit is due. Bungie listened and made things better. W

Edited by Sylok, The Defiled!: 5/15/2025 4:41:29 PM[b]Seems deliberate on their part.[/b] They had 2 months to mention Rite of the Nine.....No info.... They had 2 months worth of twids that they hyped up...."big twid" "Juicy Twid"....Rite of the Nine made no appearance in those TWIDS They had 2 Months worth of Comms over Twitter.....No Rite of the Nine info (instead we got feet picks & Edge of Fate reveal teasers instead....) And look where their first response was? DMG on[b] Twitter[/b], Destiny [b]Twitter[/b] doubling down on the planned schedule....Then the night of or day after.....Destiny [b]Twitter[/b] releasing an improved roadmap for Rite of the Nine that they [i]JUST HAVE TO DO[/i] [u]at the last minute 1 week after launch.[/u] All their Twids talked about everything else except Rite of the Nine. Their TWID 1 week before launch literally said [url]https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/twid_05_01_2025[/url] [quote][b]Three New Rewards Coming with 8.2.6[/b] As you know very well by now, we are reprising the Prophecy, Spire of the Watcher, and Ghost of the Deep Weapon sets with new perks, additional traits, and a renewed look that includes a holofoil version for those of you with the soul of a crow. We think you will love the weapons and their perks,[b][u] so we won't be talking about those here today. Discovering by yourselves what they have to offer will make them a bit more special[/u].[/b] That said, we wanted to give you a little tease of what's to come, so how about we reveal the additional weapons coming to Iron Banner, Trials of Osiris, and Nightfalls?[/quote] They were deliberately silent about how they talked about this event. They wanted us to discover how the event was timegated ourselves.....only to tell us in detail on Twitter shortly after..... They have learned since Into the Light They tried to do the same tactic for Rite of the Nine Expect them to push out events like this again & their response to be "well its too far gone now, can't course correct this time! oopsies!" Do not congratulate them for causing the problem & then fixing it. Yes, as a player, the new structure is better & will be more fun to play. [b]But this all could have been avoided if they even TALKED about the event in the first place.[/b] And they chose to be silent about it instead. That alone should tell you everything you need to know.
