Key Highlights

The first Wanted Fallen Bounty completed each week is now guaranteed to drop a Treasure Key
Greatly increased the drop rate of Treasure Keys from the small chests at the end of the Prison of Elders
Increased the drop rate of Treasure Keys from Ether Chests

Fixed a bug in which the Ship (Hildian Seeker) did not drop under certain circumstances
Fixed a bug in which the ‘Elder Cipher’ Bounty could not be acquired if your Bounty inventory was full
You will need to defeat Skolas again to receive the ‘Elder Cipher’ Bounty
Damage caused by Qodron’s Gaze is reduced by 25%
Damage multiplier for the Jailbreaker buff increased by 100%

Trials of Osiris

Original Story:

While patch notes aren’t available quite yet (we’ll update this post when they are), Bungie announced that Destiny update 1.2.0.2 is now deploying on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360.

As a result of the new update, you’ll be kicked from activities and required to download it:

Pardon our dust! We are pushing a patch live today. Players will be returned to the title screen from their activities and then be required to log in to Destiny again after installing the patch.

Additionally, even after you download 1.2.0.2, Bungie warns that there might be some connection interruptions between 8am PT/11am ET and 9am PT/12pm ET:

Between 8AM and 9AM Pacific tomorrow, our deployment of Destiny Update 1.2.0.2 will interrupt your conection. Patch Notes will soon follow.

Also today, you’ll be able to check out the improved Iron Banner, with these changes listed by Bungie in their Weekly Update:

Lower-ranked Guardians on your account will receive a reputation boost to catch up to your higher-ranked Guardian more quickly
Rewards cost less Glimmer – the grind is less real
Etheric Light is available for purchase at Rank 3 and Rank 5
The Gunsmith has inherited Lord Saladin’s weapon reforging service
Power still matters, and it matters a little more as the delta between two players increases
The Cauldron and Pantheon have been added to the playlist, along with Exodus Blue on PlayStation

How big of a download was today’s update for you?

PS4 Features

10 PS4 Features We Want Announced at E3
Blu-ray Movie Recognition

While the PlayStation 4 recognizes what PS4 game you have in the disc drive, it fails to display what movie is queued up. Instead, it displays a generic image of a disc and just says "Blu-ray Disc™". There is no reason for the system to not show what movie is currently in the drive, especially when the PlayStation 3 was able to.
Ability to Group Friends

PlayStation 4 owners can have up to 2,000 friends on their friends list. Understandably, having this many friends makes it very difficult to sort through them. So why not implement a grouping functionality similar to Google+ or Facebook?

Being able to sort your friends by groups could make the friends list much easier to use.
DLNA Support

One of the great features of the PlayStation 3 was the ability to be a client to DLNA servers running on a PC. Sadly, it's one of the several features of the PS3 that's missing from Sony's latest system. Hopefully, DLNA support will be added so media streaming will be a breeze.
Upload Videos and Images to Dropbox

While videos and pictures you take on the PS4 can be shared to social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, there's currently not an easy way to put them on a file sharing site. Dropbox support would fix this problem, and allow you to keep your social media accounts free of clutter while still getting to save your photos.
Create Folders

With the Instant Game Collection and the growing list of great PS4 titles rolling out, it's easy to have dozens of games in your library.

Having a ton of icons can make locating a certain game a bigger hassle than it should be. An easy way to fix this would be to give players the ability to create folders and organize their library how they want it.
Followers

One of the best features on the Xbox One is the ability to follow accounts. This allows you to keep tabs on your favorite Twitch streamer or YouTube celebrity without cluttering up their inbox with friend requests. The ability to follow friends would be a fantastic addition to the PS4.
Additional Media Support

With the introduction of USB media playback in Firmware 2.00, PS4 owners can now play several types of files including MP3, MP4, M4A, and 3GP. That isn't a ton though, and more file types (such as AVI, MKV, and FLAC) would make the system a much better media player and entertainment hub.
PS1 & PS2 Classics

The PS3 was powerful enough to emulate PS2 software, which allowed Sony to sell PS1 and PS2 classics in the PlayStation Store. Currently, these classic titles are all missing from the PS4 Store. The ability to play more classic PlayStation titles can only be a good thing, so let's hope it gets added soon!
Turn Off the Lightbar

If you're sick of your DualShock 4 controller running out of batteries so quickly, then you probably wish you could turn off the controller's lightbar. It may look cool in some games, but the lightbar should be optional. Let gamers save their battery, Sony!
Change PSN IDs

Are all of your PSN purchases tied to a silly username? PlayStation LifeStyle feels your pain and it is unbelievable that the ability to change PSN IDs hasn't been added. Many gamers would gladly pay a small fee to change their usernames.
