- New gear to let you slip into something a little more legendary
- That which waits in The Dark Below
- 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)
Recently, many players of Destiny suffered match-making problems and IGN reported that many are still facing issues when they tried adding the statistics on the leaderboard.
The Dark Below, which will be the first expansion for Destiny will be rolling out on 9 December 2014 on all the consoles.
