The Dawning is a free minor DLC update for Destiny, specifically Rise of Iron. It will bring:
- SRL Racing, rumored to be a three week event
- New Quests, specifically highlighting the Vanguard. It's possible there are some minor quests in here as opposed to the usual holiday nonsense quests
- Vanguard Elite Strike Scoring, as someone who liked scoring in Prison of Elders, I'm glad to see this added to Strikes
- New gear, Vanguard and Crucible updated gear. No light level increase
- Ice Breaker is back
- Solar and Void versions of Thunderlord are obtainable
- 'New' Sparrows, and with new they mean new paint jobs. Same models as before
- New SRL tracks
- Timed Christmas and New Years event that lasts through January, complete with holiday quests and Christmas themed gear
I am looking forward to it myself. I'm glad they are bringing an update that is a bit more beefy than their usual holiday nonsense like Festival of the Lost. I'm especially looking forward to Strike scoring. Should make that more interesting for a bit. Very curious to see what new quests they are talking about, but I won't hold my breath for anything substantial. Not really looking forward to any of the new weapons though. I don't care for Exotic heavies that much. I don't know what those machine guns can do in terms of perks, but if they are just Solar and Void augments of Thunderlord, then I don't need them. Also don't care too much for SRL. I will have fun in there for a bit, but not a huge draw. I do like the sound of new gear though. Always looking to fashion up the best I can.
All in all, it sounds like a pretty decent update considering it's free. Though it won't be enough for long. This is content you can chew on for a month max. If the next update will be in April as before, then that's not good enough. I hope they are going to step things up this year.
