Today's patch details (might be a repost sorry if that is the case)
DESTINY / 9 SEP 2014
DESTINY'S FIRST PATCH TWEAKS CLASSES, WEAPONS AND MORE
334 Get the details here.
BY LUKE KARMALIBungie has released Destiny patch 1.0.1, which makes several changes to weapons, classes and multiplayer maps.
Anyone booting up the game for the first time will be required to download the patch in order to play, as it makes a number of big changes from beta.
Assault Rifles are weaker across the board with damage, accuracy and stability all reduced, while Pulse Rifles have received higher damage and stability. The biggest winner is the Hand Cannon, however, which now boasts a 20 per cent better zoom along with higher damage and ammo capacity.
The other big change from beta is the fact Bounties now unlock at Level 4 rather than Level 6, and the nefarious Spidertank boss is slightly easier than it used to be with its health reduced by 16 per cent per leg. The full list of changes is below.

You need to go to Settings> PSN> Restore licenses. Then the vanguard quartermaster is next to the ship right vendor in the hanger.
This is assuming you bought the guardian edition from PSN
Picked this up for PS4 but have no idea what it's about...
Is it like a mix between Halo and WoW? FPS with raids and loot?
That's how I'd describe it.
I also been thinking of buying this game and I have no idea what it like.....Picked this up for PS4 but have no idea what it's about...
Is it a single player game or multi player game or both ?
(As I only really like playing single player games)
Edit: I guess it must have a multiplayer side to it as I just notice that there a long Destiny multiplayer thread a few down from this one...

It is single player, in some quests some other ppl can jump in your game but you can do whatever you want and there are quests where you need other ppl to finish the quest
I bought the standard edition from PSN. I thought this had some extras with it?
I'm loving crucible mode
Just think of it as an MMO.
You need to be online and connected to the Destiny servers, but it is up to you whether you actively seek out other people to play with, or try soloing missions. Some missions are easier with (or require) a certain number of players, so you can't do everything on your own.

or the 6 ppl "raids" won't be soloable
. Game is great fun thoughI believe you can belong to multiple clans, but can only have one 'active' at a time, as it displays your clan tag under your name in-game.
