Server down for midseason update 7.0.5 on 04/18. – All times and information

earthpressnews

Today Destiny 2 will release the big and pre-announced midseason patch with version number 7.0.5. Players can expect not only a server downtime in the evening, but also a changed sandbox. MeinMMO says what is included in the update and especially when you cannot gamble.

What you need to know today: As with all online play, there are times in Destiny 2 when the game is unavailable for updates, patches, and maintenance. Although such downtimes can be frustrating for many players and the times never fit, they are still necessary.

Today, however, there is no normal update but the big midseason patch 7.0.5 on the agenda, which will bring the players a modified sandbox in addition to the usual bug fixes. Bungie made far-reaching announcements on March 30th.

  • The update includes a large amount of weapon tuning for PvE and PvP, Crucible playlist changes, a new Crucible division emblem, matchmaking tuning and much more.

    • MeinMMO first lists you the downtimes and then, later in this article, the most important highlights that will be included in the midseason update.

    Maintenance on 04/18 – All Midseason Update times

    These times are important today: As always, Bungie has communicated the exact times via Twitter and, despite the big update, keeps them very short as always. If everything is going well, you should only have a small limitation on today’s gamer evening.

    Here is the exact maintenance schedule:

  • At 5:00 p.m. German time, maintenance work will start in the background on all platforms.
  • From 5:45 p.m. the servers will go offline and players will be automatically kicked from all activities.
  • Midseason Update 7.0.5 is rolling out and ready to be loaded on all platforms.
  • Officially, the servers will be back online around 7:00 p.m.
  • However, the ongoing background maintenance will not end until 8:00 p.m. if everything goes smoothly. During this time you can gamble again, but you have to expect server problems.

    • Important: Even if you have downloaded the update and are back in-game, you may experience connection issues until the end of maintenance at 8:00 p.m. You may also have to expect queues when logging in.

    Also, keep in mind that third-party applications and the official companion app may not be properly accessible for a while after the update. However, you can always use the in-game loadout system introduced with Lightfall.

    That changes with Update 7.0.5 in Season 20

    The highlights of the midseason patch will change things.

    That brings the hotfix today: The Midseason Update is always a major milestone for Destiny 2 as it includes many changes and new content.

    MeinMMO lists you some of the most important changes included in Midseason Update 7.0.5. From activity adjustments to balance changes, these are the highlights players can expect.

    The most important changes to Midseason Update 7.0.5 at a glance:

  • The difficulty of activities like the Apex Dawn “Battlefield: Mars” will be reduced.
  • Decreased the frequency of fighter spawns on higher difficulties in the Towers phase and added another ammo box.
  • Twilight scores will be adjusted to make them easier to achieve.
  • On “Legendary” you need 115,000 instead of 130,000 points, for “Grandmaster” 180,000 instead of 200,000 and for “Leader” 210,000 instead of 230,000 points.
  • The point multiplier for the Lake of Shadows strike is increased to 1.0.
  • A whole range of weapons will be adjusted in PvE and PvP.
  • Thus, damage from fusion rifle salvos is increased by +15 in PvP.
  • Trace Rifles are designed to deal increased damage in PvP, but the precision hit multiplier will be reduced.
  • Sniper rifles with rapid-fire frames gain more ammo but also reduced recoil.
  • In PvE, primary weapon damage is increased against enemies with red and orange bars:
  • Auto Rifles +25%
  • Pulse Rifles, Handguns, and Pistols +20%
  • Scout Rifles +10%
  • Some exo-weapons, like Tarrabah and Revision Zero, are getting a balancing rework
  • Reduced the amount of energy Tarrabah generates when taking damage with Ravenous Beast from 3% to 1% and reduced the zoom from 16 to 15.
  • With Revision Zero, the All Good Things Come Four perk will now reset when Hunter’s Trace is active.
  • In addition, the PvE damage of heavy Häkke salvos is increased by 75% and Hunter Track ammo is increased by 25%.

    • That changes in the Crucible

    Finally, the Crucible playlist is getting an update, a new Crucible emblem, and matchmaking tuning.

    This is what the new overview map will look like in PvP after the update
  • Conflict will leave the Quickplay playlist, leaving only the more popular Control mode.
  • Loose SBMM (skill-based matchmaking) changes skill and link filters to expand latency windows as slowly as possible. Note, however, that this will not 100% avoid lag in PvP.
  • All remaining Freelance nodes have been removed and Fireteam matchmaking is being introduced.
  • Also, the current rotation will be split into two separate playlists.
  • Crucible Merciless Rotation: Conflict, Rift, and Zone Control
  • Crucible Party Rotation: Cauldron, Scorched, Dynamic Control
  • The Competitive Division, Rumble, and Private Match options always remain active.
  • Lord Shaxx will have a new badge for you if you are Level III or higher.
    • What do you think of the changes in the midseason update?

    Next sandbox change in Season 21: In the “Season of the Deep”, i.e. Season 21, further adjustments are planned. Including reducing the damage of aggressive frame submachine guns.

    This is where the currently most successful weapon in PvP from Season 20 will probably be under attack:

    Weapon from Destiny 2 kills at lightning speed, is taking the community by storm, and is now easier to obtain

    While downtime can be frustrating for many players, it is necessary to ensure the game runs smoothly and without interruptions.

    Error codes ruined last Destiny weekend: However, it is still unknown whether Bungie will also address the problem with the horrible failures of the past gaming weekend in today’s update.

    This is where the Xbox servers seem to be messing up and causing Bee, Weasel and other error codes during the game. In some cases, players on other platforms were also affected. However, Bungie Support has not yet commented on the events and what happened there.

    No part of the Destiny 2 community is currently a well-known Twitch streamer and content creator, having been banned by Bungie for a serious breach of trust. Now his fellow creators are mobilizing under the hashtag #FreeEkuegan:
