In Destiny 2, the servers will be down for several hours next week. An update is coming that will adjust events in 2018.
Actually, most of Bungie is still on winter break, but some developers have apparently been working diligently on a new update that will be released early in 2018. However, maintenance is必要 before that.
Here are the preliminary details:
- On January 3, 2018 (Wednesday) starting at 4 PM, preparations for maintenance will begin. You will no longer be able to log in from then on.
- At 5 PM, the servers will be shut down. You will be removed from your activities.
- By 9 PM, the work should be completed. By this time, Update 1.1.1.2 can be downloaded and installed.
What changes with Update 1.1.1.2?
The patch notes for 1.1.1.2 will be published next Wednesday, as soon as the update is live. However, community manager dmg04 is already providing an outlook on what this update will change:
- Access to the Iron Banner and the Faction Rally will finally be adjusted.
In early December, the second season in Destiny 2 started, which was actually supposed to exclude all Guardians without the “Curse of Osiris” DLC from the Iron Banner and the Faction Rally. That was Bungie’s original plan. However, the community response was so immense when it became known that Guardians without DLC were also excluded from prestige activities and trials, that Bungie admitted mistakes and relaxed access opportunities.
To avoid another shitstorm during the Iron Banner and the Faction Rally, these events have been postponed until a fix is found so that all Guardians can participate again.
This fix apparently comes next week with 1.1.1.2, allowing the Iron Banner and team battles to take place again soon. According to dmg04, discussions will take place in the coming weeks about when to expect a return of the events.
By the way: After the fix, all Guardians can participate in the events again, but the new items of Season 2 remain reserved for those Guardians who own the “Curse of Osiris” DLC. Those who do not buy the expansion can only get the items that have been in the game since the launch of Destiny 2.
