It has been confirmed today when this PvP event returns next. Fortunately Destiny fans don’t have to wait for too long because they will be able to take part in the Iron Banner event in just a couple of days. Bungie brings back the Iron Banner PvP event after every few weeks and sure…
Destiny data miners have dug their way into Update 1.1.2 and unearthed plans for two new social spaces. This information became available thanks to Reddit user ShdwFlm. It was already covered previously on IGN that the new expansion, House of Wolves, would have a new social space in the Reef. That social space now has a name: Queen’s Bay. At Queen’s Bay you will collect Reef bounties and get involved with the new The Prison of Elders and Trials of…
Bungie announced earlier this week that the studio has already “completed” their work on the next update for their hit first-person shooter video game, “Destiny.” As indicated in the official Bungie blog post update, Patch 1.1.2 will see the new feature that could help prevent accidental item deletion. Meanwhile, there’s also the improvement of weapons and ammo features for Crucible. User Interface Engineer Daniel Hanson speaks about the item deletion issue: “One recurring story we keep seeing involves Legendary and…
The House of Wolves was originally set to hit download markets in March, but was postponed by Bungie and has yet to be given a set release date. An arrival window has been set between April 1 and June 30, which could mean the release could be set for this month. However, Other leaks in the past year have suggested that House of Wolves could be released on May 19, and will feature an array of new missions, strikes and…
Sekrion is your main target but as is the case with Nightfall missions, several modifiers are in effect. These include Angry (enemies don’t flinch), Epic (heavily shielded and plentiful enemies), Juggler (no ammo for your currently equipped weapon), Void Burn (void damage is greatly increased and this works for both you and your enemies) and Nightfall (return to orbit once your entire team dies in a Darkness Zone). The weekly refresh for Bungie’s Destiny has come and gone, replacing the…
Detailed on the Bungie blog, Inferno Clash will contain a few characteristics that were present in Inferno Control mode but has a heavier emphasis on scoring kills. These include the removal of the radar on the HUD, placing only one set of heavy ammo crates per match, and simplified scoring. For the latter, Bungie has removed “as many scoring events as possible” and made it so that assists will no longer be awarded points. The map rotation will also be…
While Bungie did change some things around for the Heroic Strikes, Raids still require parties to be created outside of Destiny, and it looks like Bungie is finally attempting to explain why. In an interview with VG24/7, Community Manager David “DeeJ” Dague explained, in a nutshell, that matchmaking simply cannot compare to pre-made teams, and pre-made teams make challenging Raids or activities easier to deal with. The community always engineers the best solutions for bringing players together. While Matchmaking is…
Destiny has only been on the market since September, but one hyper-dedicated player has managed to sink more than 1200 hours into the game. A Reddit user named comphermc posted a screenshot of his inventory, and, surprisingly, 1200 hours isn’t enough time to collect every item that Destiny has to offer. Though, the faction ships/shaders are the only things left on his list. Here are a few highlights, as told by comphermc: I have all the Iron Banner gear for…
Destiny’s success is based on a simple premise: keep people playing. The gameplay is good, the story is…not so much, but where Bungie Inc’s sci-fi shooter really excels is dangling the carrot of better gear in front of players’ noses in a manner similar to what MMO fans have called “the gear treadmill.” While some players could grind for weeks or even months to gain certain items, the game has a built-in shortcut that a players can take advantage of…
Over the last couple of months, Reddit user Megamanexe4 has managed to data-mine Destiny and successfully leak Xur’s stock over a number of weeks. This prediction fell flat a couple of times when Bungie changed Xur’s stock at the very last minute, right before he was due to arrive in the Tower. ‘How does this work?’, you may ask; Megaman has posted a Q&A to answer all your Xur-and-Destiny-related questions, revealing what really happens during those changeovers, and hinting at…
