Destiny 1.1.2 Now Live

Destiny 1.1.2 is now in the wild. Want to know what's in it? Read the patch notes! (They're local, too, of course.) A discussion has broken out on our forum. This one's big (it's got a lot of the stuff that's coming later in House of Wolves), so if you have play plans tonight, you might want to account for a multi-gig download first.

Destiny Update 1.1.1 - out now

Destiny Update 1.1.1 has been rolled out - and if you want to see if your favorite weapon has been nerfed (or buffed), swing by the patch notes for a full rundown! (We've got a local copy, as well, for those who need it.)

Sandbox Update Incoming

A wild repairman appeared in my office. He's gone now. Let's play catch-up!

Bungie detailed a long list of tweaks coming to your weapons in Feburary. And when I say detailed, I mean it. There's numbers, stats, and graphs to fill you in on the technical side of things as you read about your favorite weapon getting nerfed or the weapon you wanted to like getting a boost. The biggest changes come in the form of Pulse Rifles and Shotguns getting a lot of love! There's already a big thread discussing the update here. (Thanks JDQuackers!)

Destiny Update 1.1.0.3

We weren't expecting it until tomorrow, but the new Destiny Hot Fix landed today, bringing the current version to 1.1.0.3. Lots of fixes for the most notable exploits in the Crota's End raid, as well as some Crucible adjustments ahead of this week's Iron Banner event. Despite the Crota fixes, it seems that some glitches are still exploitable—for the time being, at least. (Thanks, CougRon).

New Hotfix - 12/16/2014

Bungie just dropped some patch notes on the latest hotfix. Pocket Infinity has been tuned up again and the first level of The Dark Below has been added back into the Director, yay! A few more tidbits in the link.

Hot Fix Patch Notes - Preparing for the Dark Below

Only a handful of more hours till we get our hands (thanks Beorn!) on Destiny's first expansion, so Bungie's pushing through a little update in expectation of it including bug fixes and increased difficulty levels for daily and weekly activities.

That's it for me tonight - see you on the Moon tomorrow!

Dev Team Releases Dark Below Notes

Bungie's Dev Team just released a list of some of the upcoming changes happening to Destiny's gameplay and loot/upgrade systems - some of which happened in last patch, some of which will be happening when the Dark Below hits next week. Go read - our forum is standing by to receive any freakouts! :)

Patch 1.1: The One About Exotics. And the Raid!

Bungie has posted the patch notes for the 1.1 update that's deploying this morning. Lots of changes to Exotics, material gathering, and a few touch-ups to the Vault of Glass before the  expansion hits next week!

The Feedback Loop

Pete Parsons talks to GamesIndustry.biz about Bungie's approach to Destiny post-release. Nothing really new if you've been keeping up with the patches and recent Thursdates, but it's a great summary of what's been fixed or added, and how they'll continue to listen to players and build alongside their experiences. I know that's Pete's job, but I can't but feel happy about their dedication. Thanks rliebherr!

1.0.3 Update - That's a Lot of Notes!

The new update is rolling out soon and the specifics are already laid down at Bungie.Net. The patch notes just keep going; there's fixes and improvements for basically every aspect of the game - even the Orbit screens! I was going to highlight the big announcements like Fireteam Voice Chat, but there's just too many neat little things, like shader previews and more. Go read and enjoy some self-edification! Kidtsunami was first to talk about it on our forum.

Zebra Down!

Bungie's published their latest Patch Notes, and if you've played today, you've already received the fixes. Go see all the details (either in the original B.net post, or in our Patch Notes Archive).

A Very Warm Hotfix

The Destiny Dev Team posted the patch notes for the Destiny update going live tomorrow on Bungie.Net. This one's major adjustments are weapon balance, with the shotgun losing range and the auto rifle losing a few nuances of effectiveness (which hopefully leads towards some more weapon variety in matches!), but there's more fixes in there, too. Update: It's now in our patch notes archive.

Yesterday's Hot Fix...

... is now in our handy dandy Patch Note Archive. Lots of bug fixes!

The Cryptarch Learned His Lesson

Bungie pushed out patch 1.0.2 yesterday, known by some (aka Steve) as the "Sack of Doorknobs" patch. Every purple engram you pick up from now on will yield a Legendary or Exotic item or material! And daily and weekly missions have a chance to yield engrams now! See Bungie's post for the full patch details. (Thanks Blackt1g3r)

Cryptarch Patch 1.0.2

Bungie today also posted some notes regarding next week's 1.0.2 patch focusing on engrams and loot drops. There's an important note regarding Legendary engrams in case you've been holding onto them in the hopes of a patch:

Legendary Engram items that exist in your inventory will be demoted to Rare quality when the patch goes live, so decode them while you can. But let’s be honest--even if you don’t, we all know they were blues already…

No word on when the patch goes live other than "next week," but this weekend might be a good time to clear out those extra engrams.

Dev Notes and Patch Notes

DeeJ posted the latest patch notes today for 1.0.1.5 and also posted Bungie's thoughts on changes that they are planning based on feedback from the community. It's a really good read and shows they are listening to the community's desires. Thanks to UnrealCh13f for pointing it out on the forums! (If you're curious about the changes being made over time, we have a pretty straightforward Patch Note Archive here now - you can go back and see all patch note posts from B.net in one place.)

Patch 1.0.1.4

In case you missed it, Bungie's dev team listed the tweaks and fixes made to Destiny today at Bungie.Net, namely:

• "Reduced difficulty by removing majors from Heroic tiers" of Shrine of Oryx, Sword of Crota, and Exclusion Zone.

• "Dropping the relic at the end of the raid will no longer result in a team wipe. This will prevent players being stuck at a black screen after the raid."
• "You will remain dead if you were dead when the mission ended. That will be addressed by a future patch."

Working on a way to make these game updates/fixes more accessible on DBO...

Public Events Increased

Bungie pushed through a little patch the other day. Most of it is invisible stuff, fixes for behind the scenes, but the relevant change for players is that public events are now occuring twice as much! (Thanks, Yapok)

The Deep Breath Before the Plunge

It's an exciting time. The servers are live and it's release day in some places of the world. In the West, Bungie's about to open their doors to folks waiting for a chance inside. And for the game itself, Bungie has released notes for a day-one 1.01 patch. GrimBrother IV's already begun a discussion on the changes in the forum. The pilgramige is almost at an end... See you starside.

Become A Legend

Destiny Author dropped by with news of Destiny Dispatch’s Become A Legend Project. It’s a pretty neat idea that will culminate as an eBook full of community fan fiction. If you like to write and you like Destiny, this might be for you - check it out!

Fireteam Grisly & Destiny Dispatch Episode 10

Destiny Dispatch released a piece of art for their upcoming webcomic, Fireteam Grisly. It's always great to see what the community comes up with - I can't wait to see what this is all about! We also missed the release of their latest podcast episode - the crew discusses the recently released Xbox One and PS4 and share their next-gen experiences. Check it out!

Community Focus: Destiny Dispatch

An article of skill most sublime, this came in just in time,

For if we do not have a post for every day, all that was good in this website will fall away.

So let us thank Deej for pointing it out, in these days of Destiny drought,

As well as this poet for lyrics so sweet, that the reader must be sitting upon the edge of their seat.

Though, if tomorrow you do not hear from me a peep... Claude has likely strangled me in my sleep.
