Bungie Gets Rid Of Commendations And Reveals Next Iron Banner For Destiny
In its weekly update, Bungie shared some interesting Destiny info; the most important being word that commendations are a thing of the past, and that the latest Iron Banner is coming next week.
When House of Wolves DLC launches, some changes are happening to the economy, as we noted yesterday. But in today's weekly update, Bungie got a little more specific on what that means, regarding Commendations.
"Essentially, they’re going away. You'll no longer need them to acquire new weapons or gear," Bungie clarified. "If you have a bunch of them stockpiled, you can burn them for reputation. Gaining reputation will speed you toward your next promotion, thus earning you another reward package. To prosper and equip yourself with new stuff, just earn Marks!"
Bungie also revealed the date for the next Iron Banner, which is on April 28 (Tuesday) at 10 a.m. Pacific. "Recent changes to ammunition economies will be in effect, so Felwinter will Lie just a little less often," Bungie shared. But beware! Bungie issued this warning on getting in on the accessing the next Iron Banner:
"Due to a navigation bug, the only way to access Iron Banner will be to select it from the main Director interface. Look to the left margin for the Featured activities. You won’t be able to select Iron Banner from your Crucible menu."
Most of the update covered what we found out yesterday about House of Wolves. Check out our recap here.
