Bungie outlines future Destiny changes

Since the release of Destiny, developer Bungie has spent much of the past few weeks fixing bugs, tweaking gameplay mechanics, and addressing overall community concerns with the MMO shooter. Improvements to the Iron Banner and "The Dark Below" expansion have been two of the most talked-about content-focused updates coming to the game, but last week Bungie outlined some things they've been kept secret.

Though they didn't go into full details, below is a general overview of some more changes planned for Destiny:

• 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," Bungie said, promising more details soon. "For now, we just wanted to let you know we’ve been thinking about you, and working on some game changers we hope you’ll enjoy."

Destiny launched on September 9 for Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, and PS3. Activision has yet to announce official sales numbers, but did say during last week's earnings call that the game had more than 9.5 million "registered users." The game's first expansion, The Dark Below, is due out on December 9.
