Festival of the Lost Reward Nerfs
Both Spectral Pages and Candy are the main currencies players have been farming for the Festival of the Lost rewards.
Players quickly found that Wrathborn Hunts, Expunge, and the Lake of Shadows nightfall were all incredibly quick ways to get a lot of both currencies.
As of Thursday evening, Bungie has limited these in those activities. Nightfalls grant 2 pages per run instead of 5. Wrathborn Hunts apparently only give 1 page every other run now. they used to give 5 pages.
A change has been deployed to limit Spectral Pages and Candy rewards in Wrathborn Hunts, Expunge missions, and the Lake of Shadows Nightfall. The Nightfall change will be reverted next Tuesday at reset.

These currencies are used for the Triumphs and lore during the Festival of the Lost. The new Jurassic Green pulse rifle only comes from the Hunted Lost Sector.
Lore and triumphs don’t seem a good enough reason to slow down the progression of a free event.
Vex Mythoclast Nerf Confirmed
Very hard to speculate what Bungie is planning to do with Vex.
On one hand, it’s very strong right now in PvE because of the seasonal artifact mods. In PvP, it’s got a very forgiving time to kill.
Re: Mythoclast feeling a bit "hot"
Team is looking at toning down Mytho in the December patch. Goal isn't to nerf into the ground, but some tuning is felt to be in order.
Once we have more info, we'll let y'all know.

My best guess is some small stability nerf to make it more difficult to beam people down from range.
I could also see some significant changes to the linear fusion shot’s aim assist. Right now, it feels like shooting a log at a Guardian. Aim at the top half of their body and you’ll get a headshot.
It’d be nice if they did something to increase the drop rate for Vex. Many players have religiously run Vault of Glass each week and have no Vex. There’s the chance they’ll miss Vex in its prime before it’s nerfed.
Lorentz Driver is Scientifically Accurate
Bungie’s attention to detail is insane.
Here’s an article that talks about science that’s way above my pay grade. The takeaway is that Lorentz Driver is based on actually science and railguns being built today!
I hope you have a great day! Trials is back this afternoon. I’m hoping for the Adept Messenger!
