Bringing Balance
 
If you like reading Patch Notes or experiencing the changes they bring to the game, your next destination is the December Update. It will come labeled with one o’ them fancy numbers, but the nickname suggests you can expect it to arrive (wait for it) in December! We’re packing this digital parcel with things that have been on some of your wish-lists.
 
Remember when Senior Design Lead Sage Merrill pledged “regular sandbox updates” in Year Two? There is a lot under their microscope right now: The weapons you carry. The energies you wield. Knowing the peaks and valleys that mark the landscape of the Destiny Sandbox requires a journey that spans endless playtests and data reports. It is a journey that never ends.
 
Today, we’re going to learn what Senior Designer Jon Weisnewskithinks of the current state of weapon balance, and what he’ll be doing to change it in December. Check out this preview of the philosophiesthat are guiding our hands on the workbench.

This is not the last you’ll hear from the Design Team before December. Sage has been thinking a lot about Titans, and he’ll share some thoughts on the matter before the update goes live. We might even learn more about promises to create a use for those vast stores of Etheric Light and Wormspore.
 
Keep those wish-lists lively, because we read them, be you naughty or nice.
 
 
 
Exotic Insta-Grams
 
Coming soon to a collections station near you: More Exotics!

We’re infusing loot tables with some more gold to mine from your action. Two of them are exclusive to Year Two. Others are weapons and armor from Year One that have been upgraded to keep pace with your Level 40 character. A couple of those Year One reprisals might even have some new surprises tucked away in their talent trees.
 
You’ll start earning them in the places where Exotics get earned after we deploy the December Update. They might also appear in your Kiosk, if you’ve earned the right to spend Marks on them. If you want to see which ones have been chosen, we’ll be decrypting images of them where images thrive: Instagram.
 
Follow https://instagram.com/destinythegame and wait for the parade of reveals. Signs point to tomorrow.
 
 
 
Show 'Em the Ropes
 
Last week, Cozmo foretold of a new program to honor and reward the Sherpas among us. I’m back to tell you it’s all true!

The Holiday season is rolling in like a cold-weather front. With it, many Kinderguardians will join us in the Tower to find shelter from the cold of winter – and, just maybe, the friendship needed to survive a Quest. Take one under your mighty wing of Light and we’ll reward your mentorship.
 
Refer-A-Friend begins on Monday, November 23rd.
 
You may have a new ally (with shiny new disc in hand) that’s waiting for you to link to them and begin the journey. Perhaps your friend is waiting for a holiday sale scheduled for Black Friday. No matter when you find the time to be right, there will be a new page on Bungie.net that will reveal everything you need to link up and start progressing together.
 
Stay tuned for the official announcement. For the time being, your friends in Destiny Player Support have more details.

Bungie started to reveal the Y2 version at Instagram. The first one revealed is MIDA Multi tool. Some of these exotics will have different perks than those in their Y1 version.

MIDA was the first exotic I ever got, and was the weapon I used the most in Year One, so I'm pretty excited that it's coming back for Year Two!

 

Also, the Destiny Instagram is now showing The Armamentarium is coming to Year Two, for those Titans out there.

 

Ice Breaker would be amazing to see in Year Two.

Yes MIDA Multi Tool is a nice weapon i will keep posting the rest of the exotics here. On addition to The Armamentarium, Dragon's Breath and Plance C, will receive a Y2 version as well. It will be interesting to see what kind of perks these weapons will have.

 

I however don't see Gjallarhorn receiving a Y2 version. There is also 2 new exotics on this list ATS/8 Tarantella and Twilight Garrison.
