Well, it took a hell of a long time, but we finally have a week where something new is happening in Destiny 2, as we hit another mark on the now extended roadmap.

This week’s reset brings with it the launch of Solstice of Heroes, the annual summer event reflecting on the past year.

We are continuing the Solstice tradition of upgrading an armor set several times into a refined version, but Bungie has promised us this time that it will not be rendered useless in a month like the last two years, because no major armor changes are coming, and the sets won’t be sunset for a year.

And the entire process is going to take a very, very long time.

I think it should be more doable than a normal period of Trials because in theory, you should have other Trials noobs attempting the same thing in a given weekend, so you might at least have a chance at matching with a reasonable team you can beat.

This will be a long process through all these steps, however, outside of the no-lifers that get it all done this first week (I mean, don’t judge me if I do).

This week, the word is Conviction.

This is, in theory, the Darkness, our new threat that we are not going to simply banish in Beyond Light.
