In the MMO shooter Destiny , the developers have answered some of the most pressing questions regarding the massive patch 2.0.
The Weekly Update, the weekly letter to the community, came extremely late at Destiny yesterday. It was only released around 3:00 AM. We summarize the key points.
The Weekly Update opened with a thank you to the players and the live-action trailer:
Bungie’s Response: Chill and Wait
The main part of the Weekly Update consisted of a list of answers to the questions that players have been plagued with since patch 2.0:
- Some players already have access to the SUROS package. This is a mistake. It is intended for September 15. Then everyone will have access.
- The exotic class items that come with the digital collector’s edition of “The Taken King” will be unlocked on September 15.
- It is known that the legacy playlist and patrols do not give reputation. This will change on September 15. However, players completing missions now will not be rewarded retroactively.
- Players who reach level 25 or higher with a faction can accept a special quest there. However, the quest cannot currently be completed. That will only be possible with “The Taken King.”
- There seems to be confusion about new emblems. The new “Taken King” emblems will only be available with “The Taken King.” Additional steps are required that will only be possible with September 15.
In short, if you are currently having issues in the game, Bungie’s response is: Just wait until Tuesday.
Soundtrack and Ghost Plushie
Otherwise, the Weekly Update is used to introduce some merchandise items. Now there are “Ghost plush toys” in the Bungie store.
Over the weekend, the second new Crucible mode, “Mayhem,” will be unlocked. All players can enjoy the madness there as part of the Crucible preview.
A new soundtrack for “The Taken King” is being released, a preview is already available as a wav file, and they promise to bring the soundtrack to the respective download stores.
There is a certain taste to it when you know, that Bungie publicly and messily parted ways with composer Marty O’Donnell, whose music was originally intended for the “whole” Destiny and who is not credited here.
Hopefully, Xur has no taste. He is eagerly awaited on September 11 in the Reef or Tower. We will receive him and report in this article about his inventory.
