The Exotic items offered with the Elder Cipher will now have a chance to drop from the Prison of Elders Treasure Chest. [b]What’s needed for the 2.0 update[/b] •PlayStation 4 or Xbox One: You’ll need around 18GB of hard drive space. We recommend turning on any console features that will automatically download game updates, when available. •PlayStation 3: You’ll need about 20GB of hard drive space to download and then install the update. Once the update is fully installed, you will only need around 10GB free. •Xbox 360: You’ll need around 10GB of hard drive space. [b]Moments of Triumph[/b] •Has been extended to September 14, 2015 at 11:59 PM PDT (6:59 AM UTC). •Your Moments of Triumph are tied to your active character roster. With the new Quest system and 2.0 changes, we understand the appeal to start a new character. However, deleting a character to do so may jeopardize your progress towards the Moments of Triumph. We recommend waiting until you’ve secured your Emblem before deleting any characters that contributed to your Moments of Triumph progress.[/quote]
