In the MMO shooter Destiny a Guardian of level 31 has been sighted. This is actually not possible yet. The community is wondering whether this is a fake or real?
It’s a bit like a Yeti sighting or what happens when photos of a UFO appear. Although everyone knows there’s probably some catch to it, speculation persists. In the player database of Destiny on destinydb a mysterious Guardian has been spotted, who is already running around with level 31 – two weeks before the DLC. He has equipped some of the new items from the DLC and seems to be having a good time: Dominating the Crucible with stronger gear and achieving outstanding stats there.
DrCrispy93 is the name of this anomaly. He already carries the new, actually not yet available exotic Rocket Launcher “Dragon’s Breath” and new armor. On “destinydb.com” they introduce the Guardian, teasing that his level at the Cryptarch is probably too low to get this new gear. They then call on him to get in touch and analyze his stats.
In the English-speaking forum reddit, there is also lively discussion about this “Yeti” sighting. Some say it might be an employee of Bungie who is having fun with company equipment as part of “tests”. Others think it’s simply a “hoax”, a prank by this destinydb.com site, which aims to draw attention to its offerings. They might have just filled the database with some new items, guessing their stats and faking the player’s profile, essentially manipulating the photos (which is similar to most photos of Yetis).
Shortly after the release something similar happened: Suddenly, level 5 or 6 newcomers were facing a grown veteran in Destiny. A Guardian who was already running around with a high light level. Someone from Bungie had indeed taken a trip. How it is now, may clarify soon, or maybe never: That’s just how it is with mysteries.
