Since its launch back in September, Destiny has continued to change. Updates address both player requests and exploits, new content is made with high-level players in mind, and Bungie has been open about how the fans themselves are influencing how the game's post-lauch content is made.
It's something that few other developers do, and while many would have preferred that Destiny launched with all of these features intact, most are happy that they made it into the game at all.
The upcoming House of Wolves expansion marks one of Bungie's biggest updates so far - there's a lot about Destiny that's going to change when the second expansion hits in a few weeks, and fans have only gotten to see the tip of the iceberg.
There are some big updates coming to Destiny within the next few weeks, and here are just five of the major fixes that fans should take notice of:
'The Queen's Bay' Social Space has room for expansion
While House of Wolves will come packed with a host of new content, Bungie clearly doesn't want to split its player base. That means that, when House of Wolves launches later in May, everyone will have access to the new features: reforging, the Reef, material exchange and everything else will come as part of the expansion's free update. Players without the expansion obviously won't be able to play the new Story Quests or the Prison of Elders mode, but they'll still have access to all of the new tools that comes along with House of Wolves.
House of Wolves isn't just another Destiny content update - it's a way that Bungie can change how its game plays. Sure, there's still a lot of shooting and looting, but players will finally have the control they've been begging for. It shows that Bungie isn't just committed to releasing expansion packs, they're actually listening to what their fans have to say. If only more developers did the same.
Destiny's second expansion, House of Wolves, will be available on May 19.
