The Week in Destiny

destinyI haven’t written anything in the last couple of weeks due to real life getting in the way. Curse you work stuff! So we have a bit to catch up on. I did start writing an article about how the loot cave was shutdown, as soon as I had the article finished, reports started coming in of its replacement being open for business. And now we have the Loot Stairs. Expect this to be patched out soon.

Deej has once again been putting out his weekly updates. Not much exciting news really. Probably the most interesting stuff has been patch 1.02 which saw the Cryptarch get taken out the back and sack of rocks smashed round his head. Legendary engrams now will give a legendary item. Also for those having connection issues a hot fix on Tuesday was put out and has hopefully fixed it for you.

In other more interesting news, a bug revealed some of the upcoming expansion content, if not all. And then Bungie pretty much confirmed that it was future content, but all of this is still subject to change.

Yesterday the Iron Banner event went live. It’s not really for me as my gear drops haven’t been kind to me. And if you already have great gear you won’t really get much in terms of upgrades from it but you can still get stuff that looks pretty.

And finally if you are still struggling with the lack of story in Destiny (at least its lack of telling it to you), YouTuber Marszie has given a pretty good run down of the story so far.

Hopefully between strike playlists, Shadows of Mordor, and 12x Experience Boost in SWTOR, I can get a couple more purples and stand maybe half a chance in the Iron Banner. I doubt it, but I’ll try.

This Week In Destiny News

Destiny_Multiplayer_Gameplay__-_The_Asshole_Move_of_the_Century___Destiny_Funny_Moments___-_YouTubeThis week in Destiny:

  • New patch released today reduces difficulty of a few missions and some raid fixes.
  • Deej posted his latest Weekly Update, covering the latest stats for the game, Primeguards world first raid downing and also the weekend bounty on the Bungie crew
  • Reviews are finally popping up around the net. Take everything with a grain of salt. I actually agree with a lot of the negative criticisms out there, but I’m still having a great time with the game and will be going back in to play more when I get home from work. I think Kotaku and IGN pretty much is the most accurate at the moment, but that’s my opinion.
  • More event news is coming The Queens Emissary should be in the tower now
  • Over the weekend people discovered the loot cave in Old Russia. I don’t know of any others yet but keep your eyes out. Also I’m not sure if this is an exploit or not, or if there is a fix or anything coming, but be warned before using it.
  • People have taken to using the sitting and dancing animations for trolling purposes in the crucible…. Yeh I am doing it too….
  • And this guy may take out the asshole of the year award for this move:

Till next time guardians.
