In the MMO shooter Destiny today, Wednesday, September 2nd, the third and final live stream on Twitch is happening. It is about the expansion “The Taken King” and the special event “Court of Oryx.” We will accompany the stream on Mein MMO with a live ticker.
One last time we are going to the stream, then next week the patch is coming, the week after that “The Taken King” will already be live. Here you can watch the stream directly:
We will accompany this on Mein MMO just like in the last two weeks with a live ticker and comment and summarize the stream.
Live Ticker for the Stream in English
19:00 : Last time the stream was quite underwhelming. 15 minutes of technical problems, 15 minutes of the strike “Shield Brothers” and that was almost it. Today it should be much more interesting. As a “special guest” Luke Smith, the Game Director, is present. He is currently probably the most important person in Destiny. He has provided the most important information in recent weeks. Additionally, he has distinguished himself with sympathetic, entertaining, and interesting interviews since the “money against the monitor” incident.
19:05: Also announced for this evening: the designer Ben Wommack, whose specialty is probably the Dreadnought; the streamer Laced up Lauren, of whom I know nothing except that she is said to look stunning. And with a bit of luck, we will see DeeJ doing DeeJ-like things. The last time there were some oddities:
19:10: Hmm, upon closer examination of the evidence … it seems that there might actually be something with a sword that Bungie does not want to elaborate on for inexplicable reasons! #NoSwordHype
19:20: My hard-hitting journalistic research has only revealed pictures of Laced Up Lauren and surprisingly videos of women drumming naked while their children are in the same room. Well, and they say we do everything for clicks.
19:25: By the way, tomorrow from 5 PM to 11 PM there will be server maintenance for Destiny. And it would be a good idea to keep an eye on our page in the next few days. We will be doing a giveaway where you can win “Ghost Editions” of Destiny. Those are the original collector’s editions. They are said to be quite coveted, as the cool kids on the street say.
19:30: Slowly preparing mentally for the stream. What is today about? It will be about the event “Court of Oryx.” By now we know a little about it. It is a public event that players can start themselves. It comes in 4 difficulty levels. The players summon what you could call “boss encounters” where it is more about the right tactic than the right firepower.
19:35: By the way, every time I want to write “Court of Oryx,” I first write “Courty of Oryx,” which Cortyn will definitely use against me if she ever finds out.
19:40: To clarify, it will not be about the raid today. Bungie wants to keep that to the last moment. In interviews, there is really hardly any information about it. They only say they are very proud of it; it is supposed to be the biggest raid in every respect, and they have vaguely brought up a third difficulty level or some other special feature.
19:50: Remember, it does not start immediately at 8 PM, but a countdown with music will come first, then the trailer again, and then it will start. It should be around 8:05 PM.
20:00: Colleague Shin, who has already published several guides with us, has now posted on reddit, that we Germans will probably keep the voice of Ghost, Claus-Peter Damitz. Americans ignore this, mock “Claus-Peter bot” and write things like Damitz Bungie! Those Americans …
From here on begins the actual live stream
20:05: I believe the audience includes this incredibly cool sound effect specialist … all Bungie employees so … I see!
20:06: Oh, there is Urk! He is the only one at Bungie who can officially talk DeeJ against the wall, is allowed to, and does so regularly.
20:09: Oh my God, exotic sword Raze-Lighter. Right now hyperventilating x players are fainting and not due to Laced Up Lauren, but because of this exotic sword. Attack value 310 by the way. That’s high! #DocheinbisschenSwordHype
20:12: The Dreadnought is said to provide plenty of reason to visit him over and over again. It should be quite challenging. Players should enjoy their fellow players they meet.
20:14: There will be multiple events happening simultaneously. The opposing factions will also fight against each other again. In the “Hall of Souls,” the Court-of-Oryx event will probably start if you have the corresponding rune. And Laced Up Lauren has found the new material Wormsport with a special ghost shell.
20:16: Now already more information than in all of the last stream combined …
20:18: On the way to the hall, there are statues that symbolize certain challenges. If you sacrifice to the statue, an event starts. In the fire team, there can be 3 players, and 9 players can participate in one of the events, they are in the same bubble, the same instance.
20:19: First boss Vorlog, is a Hive Knight, has as a mechanic probably changing shields, is under-leveled, will be slaughtered. Oh, the player who started the event gets a “debuff” so that they cannot be summoned back immediately. But it probably does not take very long. The one who summoned gets a chest with bigger rewards, other players only get something small.
20:22: There are several bosses per difficulty level, and the same ones are not supposed to appear consecutively. Now it goes against the three witches who must die relatively simultaneously; otherwise, they will rise again.
20:24: It’s somehow funny that they do not let DeeJ play anymore since the “Prison of Elders” incident. I believe he could have managed this until now as well.
20:25: Ah, the “higher runes” with which you summon enemies probably need to be charged first by defeating smaller enemies. There are 4 different boss encounters at level 1. These are the Knights that you have to tether together so that their shields neutralize.
20:27: The thing with the sword looks like a lot of fun. With more players, the events should become easier. You want Destiny players to enjoy seeing each other.
20:28: Difficulty level 2 provides that you fight several bosses from the first difficulty level simultaneously.
20:30: The bosses at tier 2 are stronger than before. The “summoner” who started the event must stay alive and be in the zone; otherwise, the event will be canceled.
20:31: Difficulty level tier 3 should then have its own bosses, roughly on the level of raid bosses. Tier 3 is supposed to be the highest “difficulty level,” hmm, I thought there were 4.
20:33: “I’ll show you my tactic on how I do this solo; stand next to me, we jump up and kill Vorlog.” Urk cannot jump high: I am a Titan, I cannot jump! Lauren falls into nothing. “The plan was perfect, it did not work.” “The plan was perfect, only that every single part went wrong.” So much for: Why does DeeJ not play, actually?
20:35: You can only deal damage to Boss Bracus when all his servants are dead.
20:37: DeeJ promised people in the forum that not everything would be shown, but that some things would be kept for themselves. Therefore, there will be no tier 3 today; they are still holding that back.
20:39: A bit strange. They say they have something to draw, 6 limited PlayStation editions, and then they do not do it right away, but give them to the 5 former hosts at streams so they can raffle them in their communities.
Two new trailers conclude the stream
20:43: Oh dear, that was another new cinematic with Mara Sov, the Queen, and Oryx. You can clearly see that the Queen plays an important role, her brother was also in action. She is fully involved. Impressive images of Oryx as his Taken bow before him. It all looks very action-packed. Here is the story trailer:
20:44: There is Luke Smith and he has a microphone. First images from the new raid! And there is a release date. It is set to launch on September 18th. That is already next Friday. One deep breath! Here is the raid trailer.
Summary of the Stream
- Court of Oryx has three “difficulty levels.” Tier 1 is relatively easy; one of at least 5 bosses appears per summoning. At Tier 2, you will face 2 bosses from Tier 1 simultaneously, which are stronger than in Tier 1. And Tier 3 is supposed to offer “raid-like” bosses, which have not been seen so far.
- Up to 9 players can participate in Court of Oryx at the same time.
- The individual events are started with a kind of pyramid system; you need a rune for Tier 2 and you charge it by completing Tier 1 multiple times.
- Swords are in the game, and they look strong.
- The raid launches on Friday, September 18th.
