Destiny Downtime

In order to facilitate future updates Bungie will bringing down the servers for maintenance. There won’t be a patch but the servers will be ready for The Dark Below when it comes down the internet wires in a few weeks. Expect the servers to be down from 2am tomorrow morning (8am PST).

For info on what future content is coming look no further than notes from Deej’s weekly update post from last weekend below.

We’re inbound with several bundles of joy in our hold. They’ll land in the weeks to come. Some of them will give everyone new things to do and earn. Some of them will prepare the world you’ve conquered for some new arrivals, and push the boundaries. Your level of engagement will be up to you. Each of us finds our own level in Destiny.

Here are some things we’ve mentioned:

• Channels for talking to matchmade teammates, if you so wish
• Exotic weapons that are stronger and more interesting to upgrade
• New gear to let you slip into something a little more Legendary
• That which waits in The Dark Below

Here are some things we’ve kept secret, until now:

• New shaders for your gear
• Ways to preview items before you spend your Glimmer
• Greater chances of “showers” in public spaces
• Adjustments to some arenas that needed better traffic flow
• New economies to equip you with upgrade materials
• Fixes, patches, and other invisible technical evolutions
• Some other tricks up our sleeve
• Maybe even a more generous Cryptarch
  • (he’ll still be sort of a bastard)

Those are the broad strokes. More detail is on the way. There will be Dev Notes and Patch Notes and love notes on our forum to explain what we mean, why we’re doing this, how it will all go
