Destiny is ditching big DLC in year two for more event-based content
Destiny might have a solution to the terror of the humdrum. While it had a miss, a hit and a bigger hit with its three expansions, it’s seeing a more consistent fanbase remain behind to play more of the game thanks to the regular events that take place. Xur draws in shoppers every Friday, the Trials of Osiris are a regular weekend activity for dedicated teams and the Iron Banner is still a big hit that many fans wait for in anticipation.
Destiny’s November update has a ton of changes
Destiny’s latest big patch, since the September launch of the Taken King, will address a number of lingering issues that the fans have been vocal about. Changes like a tweaked Crucible Forged quest-line, the option to purchase weapon parts from Banshee-44 and swords from Lord Shaxx. This all ties into the upcoming Iron Banner as well, which is promising better rewards. And more of them. Again. Again.
Destiny’s Iron Banner is back, and power still matters
Year two has seen changes in every single aspect of Destiny. And the Iron Banner has also gotten a tune-up, as your light level will help you shine on like a crazy diamond with god-slaying guns in that event.
The Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris return to Destiny in October…with some changes

Those Crucible modes have been missing lately, with players getting the hang of Rift and Mayhem instead. Well get ready Guardians. Because they’re coming back.
You can be guilty by association according to the Destiny ban-hammer
The Crucible has attracted plenty of players with an arsenal of skills dirtier than Ric Flair’s in-ring escape techniques. And that’s the kind of behaviour that results in some good ol’ ban-hammering. The thing is, you might get caught up in it as well.
