As mentioned before, Destiny players are facing several issues from update 2.0. Those who pre-ordered The Taken King haven’t received their emblems, shaders and Exotics yet and a new forum post has highlighted some of the other major issues.

For instance, some players who suffer multiple status effects can have their game crash. Xbox One players who purchased The Taken King Collector’s Edition are unable to install the latest patch. Then there’s the issue of Patrol missions and Faction quests that aren’t granting rewards to players. It seems that these activities will only offer rewards when The Taken King is out but those who’ve completed the same will not receive their rewards retroactively.

Bungie is currently investigating all the other issues but those who want to take on the new Faction quests and Patrol missions are better off waiting for The Taken King’s release on September 15th for PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PS3.

There are several different changes that Bungie’s made with update 2.0 of Destiny, both documented and undocumented, but perhaps the most mysterious absence is that of Armsday. As part of the Tower’s Gunsmith, Armsday allows you to field-test weapons and earn reputation with the Gunsmith, after which he delivers a weapon with random perks on Wednesday when you rank up. This feature was set to go live with update 2.0.

Unfortunately, many players – this author included – can confirm that though a banner is displayed in orbit when you load up Destiny announcing Armsday, the Gunsmith doesn’t actually have any weapons for you to try out. Though the menu has been modified to include Gunsmith reputation, there’s simply no way to actually earn it.

Bungie hasn’t addressed the issue thus far, though it does recognize other problems of pre-order consumers for The Taken King receiving shaders, emblems and special items. Stay tuned for more information on the same in the coming days.

Bungie’s Destiny has finally received update 2.0. If you’re currently playing a Weekly or Nightfall activity, you’ll be booted back to orbit to download the update (which weighs 17.65 GB).

The patch notes are also finally out for the same and it’s amazing to note the number of changes. Supers have been tweaked all around, various Year One perks and Exotics have been modified, the new Quest interface has been introduced, Nolan North replaces Peter Dinklage as the voice of Ghost, all players are automatically grand-fathered in at the highest possible Light level in order to facilitate the separation of Light and Player levels and much, much more.

And Gjallarhorn? As it turns out, the damage done by Wolfpack rounds was reduced by 1/3rd, which isn’t too shabby at all.

Bungie’s site is currently down so read up on it all here. Destiny’s The Taken King will be out on September 15th so stay tuned for more information in the coming days.

Remember how Bungie said there would be no Weekly or Daily activities in Destiny when update 2.0 dropped later today? As it turns out, the developer was being extremely specific – there are currently Weekly Heroic, Nightfall and Bounties to complete for this week’s reset but they’ll be locked once the update arrives.

This week’s Nightfall is the Summoning Pits with Epic, Nightfall, Juggler, Void Burn and Solar Burn while the Weekly Heroic is The Will of Crota with Heroic and Juggler modifiers. Prison of Elders is nothing you haven’t seen before with Urrox’s Grudge at level 32, The Forever Eater at level 34 and Skolas’s Revenge with Brawler and Juggler active at the fight with Skolas.

Head here for more information Variks’s inventory for this week along with the different modifiers for each Prison of Elders round (assuming you haven’t played them dozens of times already). Update 2.0 is expected to arrive between 10 AM PST and 12 PM PST today so stay tuned for when it finally goes live and hurry with the Weekly activities until then.

Bungie community manager David “DeeJ” Dague has provided an update on when update 2.0 for Destiny will be out today.

Posting on Twitter, Dague said the update would be out around, “Morningish. Before lunch is had by the West Coast.” This pretty much puts the time around 10 AM to 12 PM PST but we wouldn’t be surprised if it comes later.

Update 2.0 is expected to be a major game changer for Destiny. It not only overhauls all the weapon types and adjusts certain Exotics like Gjallarhorn and Icebreaker but also changes Ghost’s voice from Peter Dinklage to Nolan North throughout the entire game. You can also expect a new Quest interface and a free preview for The Taken King’s Crucible modes and maps before the expansion is officially out.

Either way, we’ll provide more information on when the update is out along with any intriguing features it adds after the patch notes drop. Destiny: The Taken King is out September 15th for Xbox One, PS4, PS3 and Xbox 360.
