The Destiny 2 Weekly Reset time is scheduled for tomorrow, October 9, meaning the end of various activities and events in the popular shooter.

This will be the fourth reset since the Forsaken expansion went live, with not much time left before progress will be wiped.

Bungie will be resetting Destiny 2 on Tuesday, October 2, at around 6pm in the UK.

For players in the United States, it means a much earlier reset time of 10am PST and 1pm EST.

The Weekly Reset will also affect the bounty for the Ascendant Challenge, which made its debut in the Forsaken expansion.

It’s proven a popular new part of the recent update and is part of Bungie’s new three-week content cycle.

Here’s what Bungie has planned for some of the other aspects of their Forsaken expansion activities which use the same cycle.

“During week three of the curse cycle, also known as a full-curse week, the Ascendant Primeval Servitor will have almost the same chance to spawn as any other Primeval,” Bungie writes in a recent blogpost.

“We will also be increasing the chance for the boss to spawn during lesser-curse weeks, but it will still be lower than during a full-curse week.

“For full transparency, since the Ascendant Primeval Servitor spawn rate will increase significantly when these changes are released, we are tweaking how ship and Sparrow rewards drop from the boss.

“Vanity items are no longer guaranteed drops for subsequent boss kills after you earn the quest, instead, the vanity items will now only have a chance to drop.”

For those waiting to jump into the new challenge at the Dreaming City, the bounty comes from Petra and will require a Tincture of Queensfoil.

DESTINY WEEKLY RESET

As usual, the weekly reset will affect various activities in the game, such as:

Progress and rewards connected to Destination Flashpoints, Raid Challenges, Raid Checkpoints, Nightfall Strike, Weekly Clan Engrams, Weekly Clan XP Caps, Eververse Bright Dust and Prismatic Matrix Selections.

There will also be hard resets made to the Spider’s Wanted Bounty line-up, and Xur will disappear again until Friday.

It should also be noted that while the October 9 reset, happening on Tuesday, will not include an update to download, the next two following it will

Destiny update 2.04 and 2.05 are launching on October 16 and October 30, meaning some disruption to the current format.

So as a recap, the official Destiny 2 weekly reset affects Nightfall Strikes and the ongoing Raid, and also acts as the countdown to complete these tasks.

If you complete them before the reset, you will have to wait until the following Tuesday to start them again and collect new rewards.

Ever since veteran developers successfully crowdfunded their spiritual successor to Ultima Underworld, there’s been a looming question: how would the prototypical 3D action RPG translate to the 21st century? You now have an idea. OtherSide and 505 Games have released a teaser trailer for Underworld Ascendant that illustrates how the reborn dungeon crawler will work. More than anything, it’s clear that this isn’t just a hack-and-slash. You’ll be rewarded for ingenuity and stealth, such as building bridges from magic-laced barrels, or using a water arrow to shoot out a light Thief-style. There’s even some wall running for Mirror’s Edge fans.

The graphics have unsurprisingly made leaps and bounds over Ultima Underworld (it was made at a time when any 3D was a novelty), but you might be most interested in the variety. The usual grim dungeons and dark caverns are broken up by underground flora and other signs of the not-so-natural life in the Stygian Abyss.

The teaser still leaves questions unanswered. Does it translate some of the clever role-playing elements (such as learning another species’ language), for example? And how much will it feel like an Ultima game for those who remember the series when it was fresh? Ascendant is still slated to ship in 2018, so you might not have too long to wait to get further answers.

The Divergent film franchise is likely moving forward — albeit in the form of a TV show.

Following last summer’s announcement that the franchise would conclude with Ascendant being redeveloped as made-for-TV movie, it is now being reported that the fourth film will be reworked as an ongoing TV series at Starz.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, a new script has been commissioned, to be written by Adam Cozad (Tarzan), who would serve as an executive producer alongside Lee Toland Krieger (Age of Adaline); the pair was initially on board to write and direct the fourth feature-length film.

When reports first surfaced that Ascendant would be redeveloped as a TV-movie, Lionsgate intended to use the fourth film as a means to launch a standalone TV series that would focus on a new set of characters in the Divergent universe. It is unclear what the focus will be now, seeing as though a TV-movie is no longer in the cards. Also not clear is whether any of the film’s stars, including Shailene Woodley and Theo James, would be willing to reprise their roles. For her part, Woodley initially balked at the idea of appearing in a made-for-TV continuation — but has since nabbed an Emmy nomination for her supporting role on HBO’s Big Little Lies.

Have at it, Divergent fans: If another movie isn’t in the works, would you satisfied with a Ascendant TV show?

Despite the executive order signed by President Trump this afternoon to roll back the Clean Power Plan, it’s unclear that much will change in the US for the declining coal industry. An annual survey conducted by UtilityDrive and research firm PA Consulting asked 600 utility executives from around the country to answer a series of questions about how their utility is run and how it’s preparing for the future. Notably, only four percent of the respondents said that they expected to increase coal power in their energy mix moderately or significantly. Most responded that coal power would remain the same or decrease over the next 10 years. Fifty-two percent of the respondents expected coal power to “decrease significantly” in their energy mix.

The story is similar for oil, which would also benefit from a Clean Power Plan rollback. Only four percent of utility executives expected their utility to increase oil in their energy mix moderately or significantly. The majority (42 percent) expected oil to stay the same in their energy mix over the next 10 years. The rest expected oil to decrease.

Trump’s Tuesday executive order asks the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to withdraw the 2014 Clean Power Plan set by the Obama Administration and put in place another, weaker set of rules governing greenhouse gas emissions. The Clean Power Plan asked states to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to 32 percent of 2005 levels by 2030 and gave states considerable leeway in how they achieved the rule’s goals. But aging, polluting coal infrastructure would have had trouble meeting its requirements.

Ciudad Juarez — just across the border from El Paso, Texas — has long been coveted by Mexico’s narco traffickers, representing a gateway into the voracious US drug market.

Fighting for control of Juarez turned it into one of the most violent cities in the world between 2008 and 2012, but, much to the relief of people on both sides of the border, that violence has eased.

During the course of 2016, however, the violence picked up.

But the body count wasn’t the only reminder of the bloodshed thought to be behind Juarez.

The arrival of the ascendant Jalisco New Generation cartel, taking up space in the city alongside the resurgent Juarez cartel and the fracturing Sinaloa cartel, leads many to believe that another vicious cartel fight is looming — if it hasn’t already started.

‘The bodies were found later’

The years leading up to 2007 in Ciudad Juarez, home to just over a million people, saw about 200 to 300 homicides a year, a normal amount, Molly Molloy, a professor and librarian at New Mexico State University, told Business Insider in December.

The next year, however, saw a more than fivefold increase, to over 1,600 homicides. That was followed by a jump to more than 2,500 killings in 2009. The bloodshed surged against in 2010, reaching over 3,500 slayings.

The next two years saw declines — to about 2,000 and then about 800, respectively — but the spike in homicides and the response to it disrupted life there.

“The surge in killings was so bad … I would find the mayor, oftentimes, spending part of the day praying for a miracle. The military was brought in, a move that many human rights activists to this day say made the violence even worse,” Alfredo Corchado, a Dallas Morning News contributor and author, said during a panel discussion at the Wilson Center in Washington, DC, in early February.

The deployment of troops and federal police to Juarez was part of a larger shift undertaken in the late 2000s by then-President Felipe Calderon, who emphasized attacking urban trafficking points rather than rural production hubs. This militarization of the anti-drug effort has been linked to more violence, human-rights abuses, and deaths.

“You saw, literally, cops and soldiers patrolling … in various neighborhoods in Juarez,” and other places, David Shirk, a professor at San Diego University who runs the school’s Justice in Mexico program, told Business Insider in late 2015.

“I remember walking the streets of Ciudad Juarez and wondering whether the city of my childhood was dying,” Corchado said.

The violence continued falling between 2013 and 2015, driven down by civil-society and citizen-security efforts, but also likely by the triumph of the Sinaloa cartel in its fight with the Juarez cartel for control of the plaza, or trafficking territory, in and around the city.

“What happened was they killed each other,” said Gustavo de la Rosa Hickerson, a representative of the Chihuahua State Human Rights Commission during the peak of the cartel fighting. “So many people died … that part of the reduced violence was because of the extinction of [the cartels’] members, and who survived fled.”

2016, however, witnessed an increase in violence many have attributed to drug-trafficking organizations. The brunt of that increase came in the latter half of the year.

“The increase really didn’t start this year until about August, so that was after the … local election, the state and municipal elections, which took place in July, and then the new people take office in October,” Molloy told Business Insider.

The timing of the spike led many observers to attribute the outburst of killings to uncertainty generated by the changeover in government.

“In other words, the parties changed at the both state level and the local level after the elections this year,” Molloy said.

“So in general the way the system works is the people who are kind of in charge of the major criminal operations in the city, they’ll have arrangements with local leadership, both in government and in the police, and then so when the government changes, they have to negotiate some kind of new arrangement,” Molloy told Business Insider, describing the way many people viewed the narco-politico relationship.

“It is clear that with the change of government, there also comes a struggle for control among criminal rackets, especially in Juarez and Chihuahua City,” Howard Campbell, an anthropologist and expert on national security at the University of Texas at El Paso, told The El Paso Times in August.

“When a new regimen comes, there usually is a ‘cleaning of the house’ in the criminal world,” he said at the time.

Tremors in the government-cartel relationship were not the only drivers, however.

A dispute about the drug trade itself is thought to have spurred on growing conflict between the long-dominant Sinaloa cartel and the remnants of the Juarez cartel that remain active in the city.

“The government, in their statements to the newspapers, starting in August … was saying that the uptick in violence was due to things happening in the local, domestic methamphetamine trade,” Molloy told Business Insider.

“The war is because [the Sinaloa cartel] wants [to sell] the crystal and we aren’t going to leave, there are orders to do whatever in order to not permit any of that,” Jorge, a mid-level enforcer and recruiter for La Linea, the armed wing of the Juarez cartel, told El Universal late last year.

Mexican authorities in 2016 attributed the spike in violence to disputes over small-scale drug sales, particularly of crystal meth.

“Recently, two human heads were found left in a Juarez neighborhood inside coolers … along with a narco mensaje,” or narco message, Corchado said. “The bodies were found later. The mensaje was, ‘this is a warning to anyone who sells crystal meth.'”

‘A new dynamic’

Added to the lethal mix in Juarez is the reported arrival of the Jalisco New Generation cartel, or CJNG. Formed around 2010 from a former branch of the Sinaloa cartel in southwest Jalisco state, the eponymous cartel has surged to the top of Mexico’s narco hierarchy in recent years.

“In this Juarez-El Paso corridor we are beginning to make confiscations and some arrests linked to the CJNG,” Will R. Glaspy, a special agent with the US Drug Enforcement Administration and chief of the El Paso division, told Mexican news magazine Proceso.

“The operations of the CJNG in this zone represent a new dynamic for us,” Glaspy said.

“Nueva Generacion and La Linea, aka the Juarez cartel, have formed an alliance to finish off a deeply fragmented Sinaloa cartel and take control of one of the most lucrative routes, the Juarez-El Paso distribution route that supplies chains all over the United States, particularly the southwest, where meth’s epidemic is high,” Corchado said at the Wilson Center event.

“What is interesting is how the Juarez and Nueva Generacion have like a campaign in the city where they say, ‘We’re trying to finish off the Sinaloa cartel to try to keep the meth off the streets because the meth is so destructive,'” he added.

Jorge, the enforcer with La Linea, said something similar at the end of 2016.

“The people that use the crystal only last three years and they die. We are killing people [for selling meth] and that money is going to us, because that which they spend on crystal they can use on heroin,” he told El Universal.

‘Unintended consequences’

Regardless of their sentiments about meth, the cartel competition for Juarez has had clear results.

Through the first six months of 2016, the city saw 166 homicides, according to the Mexican federal government. (Mexican government statistics often understate the number of high-impact crimes like homicides.)

Over that same period, according to Juarez-based newspaper El Diario, there were 192 homicides.

In the latter half of the year, there were 304 homicides, according to government figures, while El Diario recorded 357.

Government data also shows 46 homicides in the city in January, while El Diario reported 54 killings that month and 84 in February, making it the most violent February in the city since 2011.

“The year 2016 marked the worst year in homicides in Ciudad Juarez,” Corchado said.

“The level of brutality and style of killings are reminiscent of that that was seen between 2008 and 2012 between the Juarez and Sinaloa cartels.”

Many of those killings came in execution-style or drive-by shootings. In late October, a series of multi-person homicides stirred memories of the worst of Juarez’s violence a half-decade ago.

Recent months have seen many people, some of them minors, gunned down in their homes or in bars and restaurants. Authorities have discovered dismembered bodies on at least two occasions since Christmas and came across two decapitated bodies in late January.

The spike in killings through 2016 came as Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman — vaunted kingpin of the powerful Sinaloa cartel — languished in jail after his recapture in January, spending much of that time in a prison just outside Juarez.

Guzman was extradited to the US in January, whisked away from Juarez to a jail in New York City in the waning hours of Barack Obama’s term. (It’s not clear why it was timed that way, though Mexicans appear to be unhappy with the transfer.)

Guzman now awaits trial in the US.

While he is left to ponder his fate, many in Mexico are looking with dread to the fallout from his extradition, and likely conviction (or plea bargain).

In the past, the extradition and sentencing of major Mexico capos has opened vacuums in the Mexican underworld, bringing more violence as those left jockey for power and territory.

“There were unintended consequences,” of those extraditions, Corchado said. “So I think people are bracing for some tough months ahead, not just in Juarez, but in other parts of the country.”
