Like any great MMO, Destiny is constantly evolving to meet the needs of its community. The latest Nightfall strike has been made more profitable and a new update has improved Legendary drops in the Crucible, but what about those raids. More specifically, will Bungie ever add a matchmaking capability? In the latest issue of Edge, creative director Luke Smith tackles that age-old gripe head on. "I think matchmaking can make other players disposable to you," comments Smith. "The reason that people quit out of strikes is because there’s no consequence to their departure, just a punishment for that disposable person on the other end of the line. It’s pretty hard for me, emotionally, to want to subject groups of players to that. What’s not hard for me to think about is a version of Destiny that makes it easier to look for and find groups to go engage in difficult content with, a version that helps bring people together in a way that the current software doesn’t." For Smith, it's all about making a game that benefits the community. "A bunch of the stickiness of Destiny for me is that it’s the bar I can go to when I get home, where I can wear my pajamas and shoot the shit with my friends. It’s a game that’s best played with others, and it’s our responsibility to embrace that further in the game." Source http://www.gamesradar.com/heres-why-theres-no-matchmaking-destiny/

Microsoft is finally getting a win when it comes to Destiny - sort of. The company just announced that it will allow users to pre-buy and pre-download Bungie and Activision's Destiny on Xbox One, a feature Microsoft said during Gamescom 2014 would be coming to the console. Ever since Halo developer Bungie broke off with Microsoft several years ago, the Seattle studio has been playing favorites with Sony, so this may seem initially like a win for the Xbox platform. That is until you remember that Sony already announced earlier this year that PS4 owners will be able to pre-download Destiny as well, and Microsoft is still eating Sony's seconds. It's your destiny to buy this game nowTo pre-purchased Destiny on Xbox One head to either the Destiny Pre-Order Edition or Destiny Digital Guardian Edition listings in the Xbox store (but not the normal Destiny listing, which directs you to the other two). Once the game is purchased you can download it by selecting "manage" in the Xbox One store's listings for either version of the game, if it doesn't start automatically. It will unlock around the world just after midnight in local times on September 9, Destiny's release date, though for countries with multiple time zones the unlock will be aligned with one (sorry, east coasters). The Pre-Order Edition naturally comes with the game's Vanguard Armory and Emblem pre-order bonuses, while the more expensive Digital Guardian Edition also has other in-game bonuses and a season pass for two upcoming Destiny expansions. More games will be available for pre-download soon, Microsoft promised, so do a little dance if you really, really hate waiting. source: http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/you-can-buy-and-download-destiny-for-xbox-one-right-now-1263188
