In the MMO shooter Destiny , the date for the hard mode of the raid has now been set. However, the Trials of Osiris planned for Friday evening have been postponed.
This week there’s a mixed Weekly Update, and we’ve dug up some extra information from social media.
Hard mode of the raid dated, Trials of Osiris postponed
Currently, there is a nasty exploit with the Nightstalker in the game. Bungie does not want to launch into the new “Trials of Osiris” in the second year of Destiny until this exploit is repaired before letting Brother Vance into the Tower. A new date will then be announced. The Trials of Osiris were originally scheduled for tonight.
The “Hard Mode” of the raid King’s Fall has received a date. It starts on October 23 at 7:00 PM. This is a week earlier than planned, reveals Community Manager DeeJ. The recommended light level is between 300 and 320. Gear with values of 310-320 is expected to be available in hard mode.
Judgment Rune activated and 2000 Silver for some Destiny players
The Judgment Rune has now been reactivated. It had been temporarily disabled since last weekend due to a glitch.
Additionally, it is now known what players who purchased the “Digital Collector’s Edition” at that time will receive, even though they already own the base game and expansions (thus paying more than they should, as there was a cheaper version released later).
It was already announced that they would do something special: 2000 Silver will be credited to the “Early Adopters”. That should be enough for most of the new emotes.
Tougher bans for the Iron Banner coming
Regarding the somewhat bare loot situation at the Iron Banner, Bungie explains that in future Iron Banners, more items from the loot table of Lord Saladin will be added to the game.
To combat the traditionally annoying lag at the Iron Banner, they plan to exclude players with extremely poor connections from the matches. Players who intentionally cause lag will be banned. This also applies to the Trials of Osiris.
Patch next week aims to improve Nightfall loot
Next week, another update is expected to be deployed. This time it is supposed to address the Nightfall strike. The loot is expected to become more lucrative. They also comment once more on the supposedly “consumable items” found in the database. We covered both topics last week. Nothing new came up.
Speaking of loot: Today on Friday, October 16, Xur will appear in the Tower or the Reef. Here, a new mechanic will also be introduced: the Glass Needle. You can find out what it’s all about in our article on Xur.
