It’s time for a revolution. It’s time for a Valentine’s event that is filled with the kind of bullet tango that only couples can appreciate. And next month, Destiny will have you covered.
Destiny might have a solution to the terror of the humdrum. While it had a miss, a hit and a bigger hit with its three expansions, it’s seeing a more consistent fanbase remain behind to play more of the game thanks to the regular events that take place. Xur draws in shoppers every Friday, the Trials of Osiris are a regular weekend activity for dedicated teams and the Iron Banner is still a big hit that many fans wait for in anticipation.
Destiny’s latest big patch, since the September launch of the Taken King, will address a number of lingering issues that the fans have been vocal about. Changes like a tweaked Crucible Forged quest-line, the option to purchase weapon parts from Banshee-44 and swords from Lord Shaxx. This all ties into the upcoming Iron Banner as well, which is promising better rewards. And more of them. Again. Again.
Year two has seen changes in every single aspect of Destiny. And the Iron Banner has also gotten a tune-up, as your light level will help you shine on like a crazy diamond with god-slaying guns in that event.
like all things in life, you’re missing an old favourite. Favourites such as Destiny’s regular Iron Banner tournament, and the weekend fun of a Trials of Osiris challenge run. Those Crucible modes have been missing lately, with players getting the hang of Rift and Mayhem instead. Well get ready Guardians. Because they’re coming back.
The Crucible has attracted plenty of players with an arsenal of skills dirtier than Ric Flair’s in-ring escape techniques. And that’s the kind of behaviour that results in some good ol’ ban-hammering. The thing is, you might get caught up in it as well.
What happens when you're trying to get the best gear in Destiny and you find yourself facing the most dreaded of raid bosses, Eskom? You make a plan buddy. One that involves a dodgy electrical generator and candles.
Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
