Bungie, the developer of Destiny, released a new update and told fans about what they should expect in the next year, before apologizing for improper communication.

Earlier this week, senior designer Derek Carroll mentioned in an interview that the gaming company was considering taking Destiny into an "event-based model" for its second game year. The Sparrow Racing League, which brings a racing mode to the first person shooter, is a short event lasting until Dec. 29.

Fans of the game stated their concerns over having to wait for almost a year for the sequel and consistent new content, such as additional planets and raids.

Bungie's marketing director, Eric Osborne, made an attempt to appease the restless fan base.

"You seem worried that there won't be any more substantial content until we ship another full game," Osborne said.

Bungie will bring lots of new "events, activities, content, and features" in 2016, according to Osborne.

He made clear that Bungie wants to launch two events at the beginning of 2016. The first will be quite similar in scale to the event released for Halloween. The second one, however, will be more ambitious than all releases that followed The Taken King.

On the miscommunication part, things happened as follows.

During this week's updates, Bungie messed up the patch notes really bad. Confusion and outrage broke loose among dedicated players, with Reddit threads underlining their disappointment.

After the revision of the patch notes for update 2.1, it became apparent that the modifications to the pulse rifle base damage were substantial: 14.23 percent, 10.69 percent, 8.17 percent and 2.97 percent, as determined by the fire-rate of the weapon. To summarize, weapons who fired faster got nerfed worse than the ones who fired slower.

In the newest update, Jon Weisnewski, senior designer for Destiny, took the blame and explained that his incorrect messaging led to the unfortunate miscommunication. He also fully understands the players' dismay and apologizes for the whole situation.

Bungie also stated that it is working on delivering a "significant update" that will affect both the world and sandbox versions. This means that details such as the gameplay balance will get optimized. The studio mentioned that it makes a purpose out of delivering important updates once every three months.

Many hope that the future patch notes for Destiny will get an extra pair of eyes before going live.
