However, since this is Destiny we’re talking about, there were bound to be players who approached the fight in an unconventional way. And who better to create a self-imposed challenge than The Legend Himself, one of Destiny’s premiere challenge running groups. This is the same group of players that did numerous solo runs through the Crota’s End raid and took on Atheon as a two-man team. And for the King’s Fall raid it appears that The Legend Himself chose two-manning Golgoroth as their first challenge....

For a game whose plot revolves around bringing Chicago to its knees with smartphones, a companion app is a must. This won’t be the first app either, but we’ll get to that in a bit. This new app in particular, titled “ctOS Mobile,” doesn’t seem to be some kind of a pandering farce that only loosely serves as a cheap tie-in for the game it’s advertising. Instead, it looks to be a stand-alone experience dedicated to thwarting your friends with the use of hacked streetlights to send a slew of out-of-control cars into them, in addition to a bevy of other hacked nasties....

Leaving behind Iran’s Kurdish city of Ilam, the journalist had hoped to make it to Australia, where he planned to seek asylum and start building a new life. While the journey from Iran to Australia can be a long and arduous one, with more than 10,000 miles between the two countries, Boochani never could have imagined that his journey to the Land Down Under might take more than six years....

You might wonder what they’re smoking in Ann Arbor. But there is logic to CAR’s prediction. Here’s how it goes: Detroit is on an unprecedented buyout binge. At GM alone, 34,000 workers have walked out the door in the last 10 months (20,000 left in one day, on Jan. 2, 2007). GM, Ford and Chrysler are now offering virtually all of their 166,575 blue-collar workers buyouts of up to $140,000 or lucrative early retirement packages....

The post opens with a teaser telling players to keep their “eyes up” as the sun is being eclipsed by the Cabal’s superweapon the Almighty, a “stark reminder that a great threat approaches” and spells “certain doom.” However, it goes on to talk about how the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has left Bungie employees working from home, which has affected development of the game as well as the studio’s usual pattern of announcing news and milestones at live events....

According to Destiny 2 director Luke Smith, releasing the game two days earlier on a Wednesday instead of on a Friday would not only mitigate a rush of users crashing the servers, but also it will allow Bungie’s technical teams to prepare for the first weekend after launch, which will likely have an extremely large amount of players online at the same time. Therefore, putting Destiny 2 on sale earlier than originally intended benefits both fans and the developer....

Bungie’s Luke Smith made the announcement in a blog post on the developer’s website, explaining the raid team’s thinking behind these latest changes. Over the last few seasons, Bungie has seen the World First race transform into a rush to hoard power level progression and manipulate quests in an effort to reach the highest power possible. For the launch of Crown of Sorrows, the new Destiny 2 raid included with the Season of Opulence, those methods will still be important but only to a point....

The concept of weapon crafting theoretically aims to solve this issue by allowing players to toy with specific guns and grind out the best perks in each slot. This is achieved by introducing several weapon patterns in Destiny 2, which allow players to craft a basic version of those guns and then make the weapons better with time and currency. Unfortunately, even the god roll version of a crafted weapon has limits, leading to random god rolls on seasonal weapons and Adept weapons being better overall despite the RNG....

This new alien race is one of allies, and they will seemingly teach mankind a new power derived from the Darkness itself – Strand, the movement-themed subclass that Destiny 2 players will be able to wield come Lightfall. Because this is the first entirely new addition to the game’s existing subclasses after Beyond Light’s Stasis, Bungie should be particularly careful when balancing the power that Strand bestows upon Guardians, especially after the controversies stirred by its predecessor....

Because Destiny 2 currently has a rather complex sandbox that’s made of hundreds of moving parts, it’s often onerous for Bungie to address all the changes in an extensive manner in patch notes or TWAB posts, and that’s when the developers’ personal Twitter accounts come into play. Quite often, Bungie employees share crucial information about the way the game is designed or about what’s to come in the near future, which is what led to the recent debacle concerning an old Destiny Exotic called Twilight Garrison....

The Destiny 2 outages occurred simultaneously across the world, with some players being more impacted by the maintenance wait due to its timing than others depending on their time zone. As Destiny 2’s servers come back online, players can expect a queue that gets lengthier depending on the platform they play the game on and several PlayStation fans are reporting issues connecting.

The image in question isn’t particularly revelatory. It looks to be a Guardian Hunter wearing the Witch Queen armor teased a few months ago. The character is the focus of the image, but the background is perhaps the more intriguing detail. Despite being out of focus, the background is dark, run down, with bright green marks covering certain indistinct objects. It’s reminiscent of a piece of Old Chicago concept art, but it can’t be compared with any certainty....

Trials of Osiris sees teams of three go against each other in an unforgiving elimination format. After each battle the player participates in, they are matched with more skilled teams until they manage to win seven matches in total or lose three matches. This can be a really fun challenge for those that enjoy Destiny 2’s PVP.

The fan took a clip from the Destiny gameplay and character class debut at E3 2013 during Sony’s Press Conference where they are just outside the walls of Old Russia. Suddenly, another Guardian ship swoops in, transmats in a friendly Guardian, and swoops out just as quickly. That instant drop-in feature never made it into the final game or Destiny 2 and fans are dreaming of what could have been....

According to DeeJ, Bungie’s community manager, Destiny 2 will reward and recognize veteran players who turn up for the game. Speaking during PlayStation’s E3 2017 Twitch stream, DeeJ briefly discussed what the developer would do for returning players. According to DeeJ, the recognition will be some kind of identifier in the game. “If you have played Destiny with us up to this point we will have certain identifiers so players can look at you and say ‘you’ve been around since the beginning, you’re one of the original Guardians,’” said DeeJ as part of the stream....

But truthfully, this week’s major event for most Destiny players is the release of the Golgoroth challenge for King’s Fall. After the surprise release of the Warpriest challenge last week, many were looking forward to this upcoming showdown with Golgoroth, and hoping that the encounter might force them to rethink their strategies. It is a challenge after all. While we’ve already detailed the key components to beating the Golgoroth challenge – i....

A Reddit thread by user TemtemTamerBcamz1 started what became a landslide of lore among Destiny 2 players after pointing out dialogue from the Presage mission in Season of the Chosen. They point to dialogue Savathun-Osiris shared with the Cabal Empress Caital after the latter asks about “voices” they heard during the mission. Savathun-Osiris responds by saying “he” heard “the ignorance of my youth, the pain of change, unproven faith wilted by logic....

While Destiny 2 isn’t known for its crossovers, Mortal Kombat has a history of bringing in characters from other franchises to bulk out its roster. Mortal Kombat 11 has seen the introduction of the Terminator, the Joker, Spawn, and most recently in Kombat Pack 2, Rambo. In fact, the addition of so many outside characters has made it difficult for fans to guess what will happen in the next Mortal Kombat project....

Talking to Gamesradar, Bungie’s community manager, DeeJ, said there would be some “subtle things to change up” Nightfalls. The official reveal of that change will come this coming Wednesday, March 15 on another Twitch stream. That stream will focus on how Age of Triumph will shake up the game’s weekly rituals, which will also include the new weekly featured raid. The first mention of the change to Nightfall came during this week’s Destiny stream, where Bungie officially unveiled Age of Triumph and its massive 13-page record book....

According to the gamer, the impressive feat took a lot of effort. According to his comments, defeating Crota blindfolded took over 20 hours in total, over a period of a few days. A number of strategies were deployed, including relying on audio cues and controller vibration, but the Destiny enemy himself was impossible to predict. Aside from comments praising the completion of such a task, already other fans of the Bungie title are requesting that GladHeAteHer182 ups it to the next stage....
