Destiny 2 Update - 2/27/2018

The Patch Notes for Destiny 2 1.1.3 went live yesterday on Bungie.net (and here, as well) - if you haven't read through them, it's worth a look. This one's mostly about keeping track of the things you do (via emblems), but there are quite a number of changes and fixes that are unrelated to scoring. Take a look!

Destiny 2 Update - 1/30/2018

Destiny Update 1.1.2 is now live, and the patch notes include all the changes in this one. It's a hefty list; in addition to the main event (the addition of Armor Masterworks), there are many, many little changes, solving problems that bugged you and problems you didn't even know about. Check out the full deal, either at Bungie.net or in our own Patch Note Archive!

Destiny Hotfix - 4/20/17

Last week, Bungie pushed out Destiny version 2.6.0.2, which fixed a number of problems that have cropped up recently. Read the full patch notes on Bungie.net, or in our Patch Notes Archive.

Destiny Hotfix - 2/14/17

Whether you're going to enjoy the day in a Fireteam of two (hope you weren't looking forward to Crimson Doubles!), or you plan to hop onto Matchmaking while enjoying a lobster thermidor for one, you're going to have to download the latest hotfix for Destiny. Hotfix 2.5.0.2 is all about tuning the sandbox and experimenting with a few unexpected changes. Say goodbye to special ammo hoarding and hello to low-RoF weapons! As always, a local copy will be available shortly.
And thanks, unoudid for the heads up!

2.5.0: The One About The Dawning

Patch notes for Destiny 2.5.0, the update that brings us The Dawning, are live now (as is the patch, if you log into Destiny). Lots of changes, some big, some small - go read 'em! (There's a copy in our Patch Note Archive, if you'd rather.) As a reminder, that archive is searchable, if you're looking for something specific from the past.

Destiny Hotfix - 11/08/16

Before you get to enjoy the return of Iron Banner, you'll have to download the latest Hotfix, which brings a number of quality-of-life improvements, and fixes a pesky bug or two. Head on over to Bungie.net for more details, or check them out in the local Patch Notes Archive.

Administrivia - catching up on updates

Being gone last week caused the oversight of another important Bungie release - Update 2.4.1, which paved the way for the Hard-mode raid, along with providing support for the Festival of the Lost. Patch notes are extensive; you can read them on Bungie's site, or you can read them in our Patch Notes Archive. Either way, they're worth going over - they contain a lot of useful info, including specific details on what light levels are supported by which activities. Check it out! UPDATE: DOH! Looks like being gone means forgetting to do my homework, too! It was pointed out that there was, indeed, a newspost covering this update - next time I promise I'll look more carefully! I'm leaving this post because it links to the local version, as well.

2.4.1 The One About Economy Changes

Before the Heroic-difficulty Wrath of the Machine drops, Bungie has released a hefty patch to address a few issues, circumvent sneaky Gjallar Horn dismantling, and provide a few quality of life changes (such as the much-needed improvement of Eris Morn's box of raisins). Give it a read, or keep an eye on the local patch notes for lighter reading.

Destiny Hot Fix - 9/29/2016

Bungie dropped a Hotfix this morning - mostly, it's small bugfixes in strikes and PvE activities (but if you're affected, most will make you happy). With perhaps one exception... if you hadn't taken your opportunity to farm Omnigul for a Grasp of Malok before now... sorry. That time has passed. Read all the details on Bungie.net - or here, in our Patch Notes Archive.

Getting Ready for Rise of Iron

Bungie's been busy - there is both an Update Preview, discussing the reasons behind some of the changes that are being made in preparation for Rise of Iron, and an actual Update, listing the specific changes, available on their site. (Local versions of both pages - the update preview and the full update - are also available in our Patch Notes Archive.) Go give 'em a read - there's sure to be stuff that makes you happy, and stuff that makes you sad. Thanks to bluerunner for starting a discussion thread in our forum.

The Road is Paved

The latest Update notes are live on Bungie.net (and in our Patch Note Archive) - it's a few niggling problems they wanted to correct before Rise of Iron drops in a couple of months. It's also the last update (barring emergencies) for legacy consoles. Go give it a read! Got comments? CybrKN started a thread on the forum.

Destiny Hot Fix 2.3.0 (The One About Hunters)

Betcha can't stick it... anymore. The June update is live, removing the ability to stick Tripmines to enemies (they've clearly learned to lather themselves with oil). Don't despair too much about this and other nerfs, because Hunters (and the other classes) have also seen a number of PvE buffs to help with the Orb-making. And you'll need those buffs, because a few of your favorite weapons have received some balance tweaks as well.

Destiny Hot Fix 2.2.0.2 (The one about melee attacks)

It's a minor one, but the greatly-anticipated Hotfix for melee attacks (discussed in last week's TWAB post) is Live now. Notes are available over on Bnet (and locally), if you're curious about a couple of other fixes included in the patch.

2.2.0 Patch Notes (The One About The April Update)

The long-awaited fix for Birth of History's sunroof has finally arrived! Bungie has posted the patch notes for today's Update over on Bnet. There are a handful of other changes in the notes as well (as if you could want more), so check out what else is in store! Thanks, CyberKN. (We have a local version, for those who prefer.)

This Week At Bungie (and more!)

The latest weekly update at Bungie is live - visit to see their new streaming studio, get details about next week's Iron Banner, and see fun community vids. While you're there, notice the update that Bungie.net as a whole has received, and take a look at the patch notes explaining today's minor game update (basically, they added the ability to give you a free ghost if you played Crimson Days last week). Both the update and the patch notes are local, as usual.

It's Bungie Info Week!

We're a bit slow this week, but there's lot of new content for you on B.net. Patch 2.1.0 went live on Tuesday - you can read the full patch notes (edited today, in fact) there, or here, in our local archive. Some of the damage numbers were a bit wonky (and have been edited a couple of times now); explanations for these changes can be found in today's Bungie Weekly Update (also with a local copy). There's a boatload of other good stuff in there, too - including a piece from Urk which should allay your fears if you were one of the people who worried that 2016 would be full of events like the Sparrow Racing League, but no other substantial content. Finally, there was a Hot Fix this morning, correcting some unexpected behaviors brought on by the patch. (This is local, too.) Go read it all!

Update 2.0.2 - Weapon Parts and Crucible

At the same time that the Iron Banner kicked off this morning, a new update dropped - swing by Bungie.net to read all of the details. (You can read them in our Patch Notes Archive, as well, if you'd rather.) Lots of little fixes and tweaks, but the biggest bits of news are incorporated into the title: Banshee-44 is now selling Weapon Parts, and many Crucible quests have been streamlined and smoothed out. Worth your time to read!

Hot Fix Patch Notes - Night Edition!

What's Nightfall and Nightstalker have in common? They're the main focus of today's hot fix from Bungie! The extra shots given by Nightstalker's Quiver option have been disabled until a true fix can be created. As well, the Nightfall rewards have been adjusted for this week and the forseeable future. There's also some notes about the King's Fall Hard Mode and its own rewards so give it a look! (Local copy here.)

Patch Notes Coming In Hot!

Along with the launch of Iron Banner and Tess's Eververse Trading Company, we're also getting Destiny Update 2.0.1 today. CougRon was first in our forum to bring it up, and you can read all the patch notes on Bungie.Net. There's quite a few tweaks and fixes to essentially every aspect of the game, so give it some attention. You can read a local copy here.

Destiny Hot Fix 2.0.0.2

Bungie has posted what will most likely be the final update before The Taken King releases tonight at 2AM PDT. Read the notes at Bungie.net or below:

2.0.0.2 - The One about the Collector's Edition

Before we launch Destiny: The Taken King, there's time for a fix impacting the delivery of items associated with the Collector's Edition.

The one to prepare for Oryx

Bungie has posted the patch notes for Destiny Update 2.0.0, in preparation for next week's release of The Taken King.

BWU 9/03/15 - Change Is Coming

Yesterday's update recaps the recent reveals and shows off a new Crucible trailer letting us know that all Guardians, whether or not you bought The Taken King, will have access to the new Crucible maps for a limited time as a preview. There's also some patch notes on more of the changes coming in 2.0, news that the Moments of Triumph deadline has been slightly extended, and some tips in there on how to prepare for Taken King. Local copy is here and you can always discuss/debate the news in our forums here!
