If there's anything people like doing more than playing Destiny, it's griping about Destiny. So many people love to hate, but today there's a little more love and a little less in the air, as Bungie has patched some of the biggest issues and added a bunch of requested features to the game.

The big change here is the new Team chat channel, which finally allows teammates to talk to each other in Strikes and Crucible matches.
There's a whole massive amount of minor fixes that will make the game more fun to play. For example, there's less camera shake now when you get hit with explosive rounds, and the number of Bounty slots in your inventory has been increased from from 5 to 10.
