Destiny update: Bungie reveal big Taken King changes and talk economy improvements

Destiny Taken King changes are coming from Bungie

DESTINY will see new improvements to the Taken King from Bungie, who are hoping to do more tinkering with quests, bounties and the game's economy.

 

Two new studio updates are planned for November and December that will look to improve core aspects of the game.

Other changes include Banshee-44 accepting Glimmer as a form of payment, while other big hints have been dropped that a second December update will look to tweak how players interact with Petra and Eris.

"First up, we have a November Update in the pipeline, packed with the improvements to Quests and Bounties that we’ve already promised, along with some other promises we have yet to make," Bungie community manager, David Dague posted online.

 

"As part of the November update, we’re authorizing Banshee-44 as your Weapon Parts dealer. He’ll accept Glimmer as a form of payment.

"In all sincerity, as the curators of your living social world, we reserve the right to tinker with the economy. We also reserve the right to change our minds again once we’ve had a chance to read the forum. Thanks for giving enough of a damn to tell us what’s up.

"On that note, you’ll see yet more welcome changes to the in-game economy in the December update.

"Rumor has it that Petra will have use for your Etheric Light, and Eris has been asking if anyone out there is hoarding a surplus of Worm Spore. Turns out she loves the stuff."

 

The Taken King will see two new updates this year

It follows the return of the first Trials of Osiris since the launch of The Taken King expansion, with Bungie offering some juicy stats on how returning players did.

It appears Bungie's attempts to make multiplayer matchmaking more challenging has payed off, with 133,444 players making it to the Lighthouse at least once.

It shows a significant drop on the same stats from May, which saw 188,442 make it.

Having unleashed the fierce new Taken King fight, 820,986 gamers on Xbox and PlayStation platforms took part but only 16.25 percent made it through.
