In the MMO shooter Destiny, the second part of the Weekly Update has been released. Expected surprises did not materialize.
Those who hoped that Bungie would put on a firework display to apologize for the tumultuous last days and placate the Guardians with gifts have been disappointed.
The Weekly Update explained that they want to further develop the Companion App (visible status updates), and addressed the tragic death of a community member whom his clan, the Dads of Destiny, wants to honor with a 36-hour live stream (the video went around the world last weekend – it is unfortunately not available in Germany).
Then they briefly described how much the community manager enjoyed E3 (so many love Destiny!) and explained that they have already brought back 4.8 million Guardians from orbit back into action with the “Connection Recovery” tool.
No statements on Taken King or “DLCgate”
There were no further statements regarding the controversy around the Collector’s Edition or the interview. It was also not clarified what the extensive maintenance work of the last days accomplished.
Further announcements regarding “King of the Taken” will be made at a later time. How exactly they intend to honor the Guardians who have been there for a year will likely also come later. It seems that the already known digital exclusive items are everything at the moment.
An actually hinted further “surprise” was also not revealed today. It continues to be only about the items depicted here and “more at launch”, more at the launch. The “better items for veterans”, which they wanted to introduce in the Weekly Update and which they mentioned as “reassurance”, the Guardians already knew since last Monday, if that is what they were referring to.
Mein MMO says: The exciting part has probably already been published yesterday to soften the excitement. In such “Part 1 of 2” actions, people usually expect that something “big” also comes in the second part, especially since the first part was relatively meager. That clearly did not happen. But well, Destiny must know what they are doing.
Speaking of somewhat disappointed expectations: On Friday, June 26th, Xur will appear in the Tower or in the Reef. We will greet him at 11:00 AM and report on his offers.
