Destiny Archives

One of the worst things that can happen when you boot up Destiny is that "unable to connect" error And while connectivity issues have plagued that game in a lot of ways, Bungie are hoping to improve their servers for Destiny 2 so that's no longer an issue. Destiny's connectivity problems are thought to arise from Bungie's decentralized servers[...]

The original Destiny was an interesting game, in so much as it was a bit of a frazzled mess, but one of the many things about the game that spiked a large amount of interest was the game's use of "grimoire cards." Those cards were part of a world-building technique Bungie were trying out to give Destiny[...]

credit//Blizzard After Activision and Blizzard revealed on Thursday that Destiny 2 will be available for PC through Blizzard's Battle.net platform, the price of tokens in World of Warcraft jumped to an all-time high. Destiny 2 being on Battle.net has had some interesting repercussions so far, even though the announcement is only days old[...]

We don't have too many details on which characters will return to Destiny 2 other than our own Guardians and the Vanguard, but thanks to the special edition details Bungie released, we now know that Osiris and Rasputin will return in some form. The two expansions were given to us in a pretty vague image that featured[...]

Bungie confirmed earlier today that Destiny 2 will indeed release on September 8, 2017 This follows a leak of images featuring Destiny 2 posters that included the release date, so we'll be getting the sequel rather soon for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. An open beta for the sequel will be coming later this year and the game is[...]

One of the biggest annoyances for players so far in the last DLC for Destiny is the Hidden Ghosts Kinda like trying to find the dolls in DOOM last year, or the hidden skulls throughout the Halo series They're put in the most obnoxious of spots that are easily passed and people don't seem to[...]

Just after sort of announcing Destiny 2 by posting the above image to their twitter account, Bungie decided to give us all a teaser video The video is a rambling bar tale from Nathon Fillion's character, Cayde-6 The entire video itself is just an announcement that the official announcement trailer is coming March 30th at 10am PST[...]

So first we got some leaked posters last week, which indicated a September 8th release date for Bungie's follow-up to Destiny, and they've finally got around to confirming the date Sort of. The leaked posters featured a logo for Destiny 2 that matches the one in Bungie's tweet. pic.twitter.com/n1M4zdGE5K — Destiny 2 (@DestinyTheGame) March 27, 2017 So most people are[...]

Destiny's final live update Age of Triumph will go live next Tuesday, March 28th  The new update marks the end of content for Destiny as the upcoming Destiny 2 is set to release sometime this year, though Bungie plans to continue supporting Destiny even after transitioning their development teams to focusing on the sequel. The Age of Triumph will pick up[...]

This week's Destiny: Age of Triumph reveal focuses on the updates to the weekly rituals Today's stream featured Tim Williams and Joe Sifferman, who were joined community manager David "Deej" Dague to give us details about the update, which hits March 28, and how it reworks the game's weekly activities. This first change is the Treasure of Ages, which[...]

So Destiny is getting a massive update on March 28 with Age Of Triumph, which includes updating old raids for current light levels and a 13-page record book full of ridiculous achievements It's essentially a  final hurrah for the game, especially coming off the news that you get to keep your character and nothing else[...]

Destiny has had four major content expansions since it's release, with The Taken King and Rise of Iron being the latest two, and there have been several raids introduced in those expansions Vault of Glass, Crota's End, King's Fall, and Wrath of the Machine are all 6-person raids that can take hours to complete depending on[...]

But according to Gitelman, who headed up the defunct FASA Studios that developed Shadowrun for Microsoft, the gameplay did become successful, albeit for a different title by another title. "The mechanics on that game became Destiny," Gitelman said. Dammmmmmmnnn! Did you hear that, Bungie?! Thankfully, Gitelman and Weisman were more successful with Harebrained Schemes' Shadowrun revival trilogy, and excitement is[...]

Credit: Bungie In their blog post telling us all about their character reset plans for the Destiny sequel, Bungie also released details about the final live event for the original Destiny "Age of Triumph" will be the name of it, and we'll be getting it next at the end of March with a full reveal planned for[...]

Bungie has finally, officially started talking about the Destiny sequel Granted, it was in an investor call and later a blog post, but still Destiny 2 news, finally! The biggest piece of news is that guardian race, gender, and appearance currently have the potential to carry over from Destiny to Destiny 2 – which suggests that it[...]

It's a shame they never explored these two after that movie, and instead we wound up with uh, Batnipples. 4) Mystique and Destiny: While the two never came right out as lovers when Chris Claremont first created Destiny, that was his intention However the Comics Code prohibited writing openly gay characters While today is much different, Claremont[...]

Bungie released 59 concept images for Destiny on IGN to celebrate the 100th episode of IGN's Destiny podcast, Fireteam Chat The image dump also included some never-before-seen artwork for the game, which is pretty awesome. You can check out some of those below: #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left:[...]

Bungie has registered a trademark in the US under the name "DestinyCon" which either means they want to stop their fans from launching a fan-run convention for Destiny or they're planning to kick one off themselves The trademark was filed under title 41 under "fan conventions… in connection with the game Destiny," reports Dual Shockers.

From my talks with lots of game developers, it always surprises me how many are addicted to Destiny From AAA, to indies, there is something about the game that drags some developers in in a big way This is all circumstantial of course, but it's true in my experience. Perhaps unsurprisingly, that extends to Bioware[...]

The Destiny community is possibly one of the most tight-knit and rabid fanbases in all of AAA gaming That title has carved out a beatuiful niche for itself, which means the game sustains itself, even when it could really use some content. Activision know they have to bring in new players with Destiny 2 though During[...]

Rise of Iron seems to be going down fairly decently right now, as everyone is just excited to have a bunch of new content to play through in Destiny However, everybody knows the currently unannounced Destiny 2 is incoming next year. Well, a bunch of information seems to have just leaked from a few places This[...]

Randal the Vandal is a little bit of Destiny history that is loved by fans Essentially, he was a Reaver Vandal that existed in the Cosmodrome in vanilla Destiny, that by way of a bug, had an utterly immense health pool He was patched obviously, but it seems he has been revived in a big[...]

So Destiny: Rise of Iron is out today, meaning the drought of content for the game is over and we have more than we know what to do with now. The expansion didn't launch entirely smoothly though As expected, a whole bunch of people tried to jump onto the game's servers and it fell apart a[...]

Destiny Year 2 had a real content problem The game has not kept, at least me, coming back as contstantly as I would have liked, due to the fact there wasn't new stuff on a consistant basis. One idea that has been bandied around to bring a little more to do is bringing up both the[...]

Raids are, almost undoubtedly, the most interesting and fleshy bits of Destiny content They have also long been controversial too The fact that you have to round up six friends to do long periods of gaming, and all those friends have to be in the late game; it's a high barrier for entry for the[...]

Destiny: Rise of Iron is probably going to be a really important expansion for the game It has to breathe life after a few months of being a little stagnant, as well as carry on the excellent work of The Taken King It's also probably the last major bit of DLC for the game until[...]
