| Destiny update 2.0 will bring big changes, according to Bungie |
DESTINY is facing some big changes for The Taken King launch later this month, and Bungie have revealed what some of those new updates on Xbox and PlayStation platforms will be.
The studio say that the groundwork for Destiny Year Two will start to be laid on September 8, with Bungie going as far as to say that this weekend will be the last chance to experience the original Destiny gameplay before the update takes hold on Wednesday.
The full scope of update 2.0 has yet to be fully revealed, although a tactical preview for how things are about to change has been released.
Bungie have also given a few hints at what could be revealed in the full patch notes later this month, advising fans not to delete characters or dismantle items just yet, try the Year One campaign again, destroy remaining Wolf Packs and loot their chests for Ether Keys, complete your House of Wolves Grimoire as it applies to hunting in the wild and complete your Moments of Triumph.
The Moments of Triumph, a way of earning a special emblem, has also been extended to September 14, 2015 at 8pm, UK time.
Things that are leaving Destiny this month includes activities where you previously earned Vanguard/Crucible marks will now grant Legendary Marks. On September 15 current Vanguard/Crucible marks will be converted into faction commendations.
The Elder Cipher will no longer drop upon completion of the Skolas Challenge Arena in the Prison of Elders, instead the Exotic items offered with the Elder Cipher will now have a chance to drop from the Prison of Elders Treasure Chest.

The full tactical preview can be read on the Bungie website but we've listed a few highlight below:
- Character Level Cap for all players will be raised to 34

- You will be able to level up by gaining XP alone
- A Quest Screen will be added to your Menu
- Bounty slots will be increased to 16
- Motes of Light will be used to grant XP to Weapons and Armor
- Class-specific Armor materials will be deprecated in favor of a unified Armor Material
- Fallen Wolf Hunt Patrols will retreat in anticipation of the arrival of Oryx in your solar system
Bungie are also set to allow fans try out two new multiplayer modes, Mayhem and Rift, before their release with The Taken King expansion later this month.
New maps and modes will be available as a preview from September 8 to September 14 but will then become exclusive to The Taken King from then on.
