You're probably in the Help Forum at this time and may have questions related to the first Destiny Expansion: "The Dark Below" and what is changing, what things are getting added, tweaked and/or how do I obtain the expansion. This is the place to get you in the right direction.
Please take a minute to read through and find what you're looking for. If you're not finding what you're looking for, please post a comment in this thread and we'll point you in the right direction. Cheers!
[b]What is "The Dark Below"? [/b]
[spoiler]It's the first expansion of Destiny, an "add on" for all game modes of Destiny. There are new missions, gear, armor, crucible maps and more. [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/event/darkbelow]Check out the full details at the link.[/url][/spoiler]
[b]When does The Dark Below release.... exactly?[/b]
[spoiler]The Dark Below is announced to release on December 9th, 2014 at 1am Pacific Time as stated in [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_Bungie-Weekly-Update---12042014/en/News/News?aid=12447]this Bungie Weekly Update.[/url][/spoiler]
[b]Do I have to purchase Expansion I for upgrades? [/b]
[spoiler]Nope! Some of the changes, including weapons and story/nightfall missions and more are changing. Destiny is ever changing and expect new things to be discovered even if you don't buy it. [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_The-Dark-Below-Preview/en/News/News?aid=12442]Check out the list of what's changing across the board[/url] in one of Bungie's most recent patch updates.[/spoiler]
[b]I thought Exotics and material acquisition was changing? [/b]
[spoiler]Yep! That's already been implemented. [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Update---12012014/en/News/News?aid=12433]Check out these patch notes for the full details.[/url][/spoiler]
[b]I still have more questions about Xur and Exotics...[/b]
[spoiler]That's okay, you'll want to check out Bungie's most recent [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_Bungie-Weekly-Update---12042014/en/News/News?aid=12447]Weekly Update[/url] for more clarification.[/spoiler]
[b]Am I eligible for the Destiny Expansion Pass?[/b]
[spoiler]The following Destiny bundles have the Expansion Pass INCLUDED within the bundle.
Digital Guardian Edition
Destiny Limited Edition
Destiny Ghost Edition[/spoiler]
[b]I bought one of those Destiny bundles but I didn't get my expansion pass![/b]
[spoiler]You will need to check the game case (for physical copy) and/or talk to your retailer about obtaining your pass. You can also fill out an [url=https://support.activision.com/DestinyCodeSupport]Activision Support Limited Edition/Ghost Edition[/url] form if something is wrong with your purchase.[/spoiler]
[b]Where do I purchase the expansion pass? [/b]
[spoiler]All consoles: [url]http://www.destinythegame.com/wheretobuy?bundle=expansionPass[/url][/spoiler]
[b]I was suppose to get the EV-30 Sparrow with my Expansion Pass, why didn't I get it?[/b]
[spoiler]Please see [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_EV-30-TUMBLER-Sparrow-FAQ/en/Help/Article/12410]this article[/url]. The EV-30 will be available when The Dark Below launches on December 9th if you haven't received yours already. You will need to check the Special Orders (Tess) in the Tower to see if it's available. Use the link provided for troubleshooting.[/spoiler]
[b]Does the expansion pass transfer from console to console?[/b]
[spoiler]Yes! As long as you've purchase it for Xbox 360 or PS3, you can re-download the license on Xbox One or PS4 (must stay in console family). [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/12122]You can check the specifics here for details.[/url] However, this is not "retro active", meaning if you purchased the expansion pass on PS4 or Xbox One, you cannot move it "backwards" to Xbox 360 or PS3, you will have to purchase an additional license.[/spoiler]
[b]I redeemed a code to get something in game, what do I do now?[/b]
[spoiler][url=http://www.bungie.net/7_I-redeemed-a-code-to-get-in-game-content-Now-what/en/Help/Article/12132]You will need to see this article depending on what you're referring to.[/url][/spoiler]
[b]I have some questions related to the Destiny TRIAL and DEMO! Help!?[/b]
[spoiler][url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/12406]This article is made specifically for you![/url] Check it out and report back if you have more questions.[/spoiler]
[b]Why isn't my Xbox Live or PSN membership recognizing that I purchased the expansion pass? [/b]
[spoiler]You will need to [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_Accessing-licenses-on-all-platforms/en/Help/Article/12181]restore your licenses[/url] on your console. Make sure you're on the console account that purchased the license/redeemed the code to get the content on your console.[/spoiler]

Edited by Spawn: 12/9/2014 10:12:06 AMAnd we're live with The Dark Below. Please ask questions that you don't see listed!
-
Why am I locked out of the new missions after playing them? Surely they should still be there like the rest are?
-
Please explain exactly how commendations work. I just ranked up vanguard to level 2 and didn't get a commendation which I expected.
-
Paid £19.99 for an error code? Lol This is sad
-
Edited by Naruto062188: 12/9/2014 5:51:15 PMSo far nobody answered any questions. You still ppl that followed all the steps to correct the dlc not being purchase issue. Its pissing me off i spent $20 on some bull that wont work and its only a matter of time before this dog comes back to bite bungie is the @$$ for not addressing this issue.
-
This is a great post hopefully it will answer a lot of people's questions.
-
I can't add the Dlc to my cart (PS4)... I have tried logging on/off, shutting down and restarting etc etc. I can see the €20 ready on my ps account. But it just wont let me add it, any help please???
-
Edited by Rakonei: 12/9/2014 12:10:16 PMMan wird gezwungen das DLC zu kaufen? Wieso habe ich für dieses Spiel 60€ gezahlt?? Am liebsten würde ich mein Geld von Bungie zurück verlangen....das ist eine Frechheit!!! Ich bin davon ausgegangen, dass ich das Kontent weiter spielen kann auch ohne das DLC.....unfassbar! BUNGIE = CRIMINAL!!
-
I have done everything suggested but my copy of the Season Pass still isn't registering. Is the DLC region-locked? If so, what do I do?
-
Hey does the expansion pass spread across user s on the same ps4?
-
I'm on ps3 and anything works for me... The expansion I doesnt upload at PSN error 404
-
I'm using a asia disc but I brought the uk dlc from the store as my account is UK based. I can't restore my license, having the error CE-30002-5. I went to delete my destiny game file, and re-inserted the disc. Downloaded around 2gb of data, went in and the missions says that I need the expansion. Got back to the store library and my destiny says "1 add-on" and still didn't work
-
ok so I logged into the dark below on my lowest lvl character and I got 2 packages the tumblr and another for some gear I don't want the gear for my low lvl I want it for my lvl 29 why is this package not account wide?
-
Great post Spawn! That's a lot of work for a Mentor to take on. Won't find too many people working so diligently for the sake of helping.
-
Is this update safe?
-
Will there be any server down time before the DLC releases?
-
Will Xür come tomorrow?
-
Do you know what's going on with people using ps4 digital version, being unable to play/locked out of the game, since yesterday morning, because of a countdown timer for the dlc?
-
When i go to the xbox market to buy the dark below and the dark below only for the 360, it doesnt show that i can buy it separately. Why is that?
-
Is it not possible to buy just The Dark Below? Whether I even want the second expansion(when the time comes) will depend on if I enjoy the first one enough to come back and play so I have no desire to pay for the second expansion as well.
-
Can u guarantee that if i do the update my characters and or gear will b safe????
