“In Other News” is a new segment we’ve started to let you all know about some miscellaneous Destiny news or information that isn’t quite ‘news-worthy’ enough to warrant an entire article by itself. To see the previous In Other News article, click here.[divider]
First Look
As we’ve outlined in the expansion exposé article, there’s going to be a new content coming in the Dark Below DLC. Could this area be a part of it?
And another image, possibly for House of Wolves?

Sony Server Maintenance
If you’re on the PS and unable to play Destiny, it’s because Sony’s servers are undergoing maintenance… on Saturday of all days.
Update:
The issue preventing PlayStation users from signing into Destiny has been resolved. Thank you for your patience.

More quitters in IB?
It appears that people have been leaving Crucible matches in droves, long before the Iron Banner. These stats from DestinyDB show that the amount of people leaving in Iron Banner, and the amount of people leaving in regular modes, is negligible.
Quitting is still a huge problem obviously, and needs to be addressed in some way. If you haven’t already, check out our poll this week – asking how you feel about IB overall.
Data:
10/02 (Crucible live, Control only)
- Total matches played: 48,757
- Total players in roster: 612,544 (12.56/match)
10/09 (Crucible and Iron Banner live, Control only)
- Total matches played: 173,847
- Total players in roster: 2,177,703 (12.53/match)
The difference in leavers is down ~0.3% between last week and this week.

Did you know? РФБА, РОССИЙСКОЕ ФЕДЕРАЛЬНОЕ БЮРО АЭРОНАВТИКИ, stands for Russian Federal Bureau of Aeronautics.

Hair
Destiny’s hair looks great, but are you curious about the process of making it? the design philosophies behind it? This PDF is a sort of BTS of the process that went into making the hair styles.
Speaking of hair, check out this gallery by w0odyallen with some hair styles at all angles:
