Update 2:
Good news! We’re done with maintenance a little bit early! You can log into Destiny after taking the new patch.
— Bungie Help (@BungieHelp) June 15, 2015
Update:
Here’s the full list of patch notes:
Perks
‘Ashes to Assets’ and ‘Quintessence Transfer’ can now no longer be stacked (they now have cool-downs that can only be used every 10 seconds)
Prison of Elders
- Fixed a bug where players cannot pick up a quest from Variks to continue the Elder Cipher chain
- Adjusted difficulty of Level 35 Skolas Challenge Mode
- Burn Skulls are now replaced by non-elemental skulls
- Skolas’ health reduced (from 27000 to 15000) to compensate for lack of burn skulls
- Reinforcement spawns are now based on Skolas’ health instead of a timer
Original Story:
Announced last week during their Weekly Update, Bungie confirmed that Destiny update 1.2.0.3 is going live today at 11am PT/2pm ET.
To coincide with the patch, Bungie announced Destiny will undergo some planned maintenance:
Destiny will be taken offline for 1 hour at 11am PDT for planned maintenance. Please finish your games to avoid getting kicked mid-activity.
While full patch notes have yet to be posted, here’s what they previously said about today’s update:
We want the Skolas encounter to be challenging and require teamwork, only in a more predictable way that doesn’t feel cheap. To accomplish this, we’re making the following changes to Round 6 of the Skolas Challenge:
- Boss health is reduced (to compensate for the lack of burn)
- Minions will spawn at predictable health intervals
- Minor adjustment to the unit makeup of the combatant waves
In summary: Skolas is about to get a shorter life sentence. To ensure that he’ll still have a fighting chance, there will be some more skulls for you to juggle. Your battle with the final boss changes next week. Get in there are tell us what you think.
If you notice the update is live, please let everyone know in the comments below.

PS4 E3 2015
-
ABZÛ
Despite being developer Giant Squid's debut title, ABZÛ has garnered quite a bit of buzz since it was shown off last year. The gorgeous game has been compared to an underwater Journey, and is potentially one gameplay demo away from being the highlight of Sony's E3 2015 press conference.
-
Battleborn
Gearbox Software has shown that they know how to create a popular first-person shooter with their highly successful Borderlands series. Now the Texas based developer is working on Battleborn, a hybrid game that attempts to merge FPS gameplay with the hooks of a multiplayer online battle arena game. Expect this to get a heavy push, as its Winter release is quickly approaching.
-
Fallout 4
The surprise factor in the announcement may be gone, but Fallout 4 will still be a big player at E3 2015. Especially after the recent trailer raised more questions than answers. Bethesda has the opportunity to steal the show on Sunday, before any other publisher has a press conference. We'll see if they take advantage of this soon enough!
-
Hellblade
Few developers have consistently put out great games like England's Ninja Theory. Their latest project, Hellblade, looks to be no exception as it impressed with its latest trailer that was just released. We're excited to see how the action game will manage to top that once the show officially starts!
-
Just Cause 3
Avalanche Studios might end up being the most impressive developer of the expo. They'll be showing off two highly promising looking games - Mad Max and Just Cause 3 - that each can steal the show in their own right. While we loved Mad Max: Fury Road as much as everyone, our money is on Just Cause 3 being the slightly more promising Avalanche Studios project.
-
Persona 5
While we do look forward to dancing all night with the cast of Persona 4, we're even more excited to see what Atlus has in store for us in Persona 5. This highly stylish RPG will look to impress both fans and newcomers at the gaming industry's biggest event, and it might just steal the show in the process.
-
Rime
There is no doubt that Rime is absolutely beautiful. If Tequila Works' second game plays half as well as it looks, then gamers will be in store for a treat. We're looking forward to see what Rime has in store for us, and hopefully we'll walk away believing in the title more than ever.
-
Star Wars Battlefront
What do you get when you have one of the best developers working on one of the most beloved series of all time? A whole lot of excitement! Star Wars Battlefront has an unbelievable amount of hype behind it, so if DICE can absolutely deliver on their upcoming PS4 title then they will surely be the talk of the city of angels.
-
Uncharted 4
Sony's most highly regarded internal studio is working on what is undoubtedly the most high profile PS4 release. So, how can Uncharted 4 not be on this list? Naughty Dog already wowed fans at the PlayStation Experience, so we're excited to see how they will top that live demo. Nathan Drake's next journey is going to be an exciting one!
-
Until Dawn
Right now Until Dawn is the definition of a sleeper hit. It hasn't been particularly well demoed in the past, but this choice-driven title could really end up being huge for Sony. We're looking forward to seeing the improvements that the game has undergone, and hopefully it will have an impressive showing at E3!
