After some pretty intense changes over the past week, Destiny 2‘s facing a future that we’re not quite certain of now.

While we wonder what’s going to happen in the coming days of Destiny, Bungie’s made loads of fixes, quality of life changes, and more, which can all be found in the Update 8.0.5 patch notes.

While the game doesn’t offer any direction on how to get it — or even suggest that it exists — it’s actually extremely easy to craft the new Heirloom ring added with the Radiant Echoes pre-patch event. To make the Band of Radiant Echoes Heirloom, you need a Lifeless Stone Ring and a collection of memories dropped in each event zone, and it shouldn’t take too long to collect the materials.. Here’s what you need to know to craft the new Heirloom ring.

The War Within pre-expansion event, Radiant Echoes, is live through August 26, leaving the heroes of Azeroth (that’s us) several weeks to contend with the planet’s memories of the last 19 years of World of Warcraft. Pre-patch events are traditionally one of the best times to level, and catch up those alts that you’ve neglected (or start a new main), as well as gearing up characters to tackle the expansion.

Clash Royale is a strategy-based game packed with tons of cards, each with its own unique attributes. However, if you’re a newbie, it can be particularly confusing to know which cards to upgrade first.

Herbie J Pilato

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

As is traditional in World of Warcraft, the pre-patch prior to The War Within expansion comes with a limited-time event with gear and collectibles: Radiant Echoes. The event is now live, and you have up until the expansion to jump in and collect gear, earn some levels, and just have fighting the ghostly memories of Azeroth. The Radiant Echoes event will send players on a journey through Searing Gorge, Dragonblight, and Dustwallow Marsh to defeat Azeroth’s memories of previous encounters.

I will say though, that we are lucky to have a dry heat instead of a humid heat. At least I don't feel like I'm drowning and on fire at the same time.
