The exact dates are now known for the patch 1.2.0 and the next DLC House of Wolves in the MMO shooter Destiny.
There was another Weekly Update for Destiny, where Community Manager DeeJ explains what’s new. This time, he was still quite excited from the live stream on Wednesday, when he and two players got “their asses kicked” in the “Prison of Wolves,” as he puts it.
These are the dates for 1.2.0 and House of Wolves
This week, there are clearly two dates in focus for the Weekly Update:
- The patch 1.2.0 is scheduled to be activated on Tuesday, May 12, sometime after 7:00 PM. Here, final preparations for House of Wolves are being made, and changes to the world will take place. The patch was already deployed last Wednesday; it just needs to be activated now.
- A week later, “House of Wolves” is expected to go live. This will happen NOT in the morning during the weekly reset, but in the evening instead. “House of Wolves” will be activated on May 19 sometime after 7:00 PM. The last DLC started in the morning.
DeeJ addresses the “leaked patch notes” that have already been circulating for 1.2.0: It’s better to wait for the developer team’s notes and not settle for “replacement” notes. For 1.2.0, it’s assumed that changes in the Crucible will already become active, making it significantly more lucrative.
400,000 US Dollars raised for Nepal
In another part of the Weekly Update, there is information about the Nepal Aid through the T-shirt. $400,000 have already been raised. Bungie has decided to add an additional dollar for every $50,000 collected through the T-shirts. At least $15 should go to Nepal per T-shirt, as special conditions have been negotiated with the partners.
This initiative seems to be very well received by fans, probably because it includes an exclusive shader and an exclusive emblem. For us Europeans, relatively high shipping costs are a barrier, but Bungie has already improved this.
The schedule for the coming weeks until the release of House of Wolves is set. Another date is also known: Xur will arrive in the Tower on Friday, May 8, at 11:00 AM. Specifically at 11:00 AM and not sometime after 11:00. We will be there to report on his offerings.
