With the new patch yesterday, Destiny received a lot of new data, including, it seems, also material for a second social hub, a second tower.
Last night there was a patch in Destiny: however, it hardly brought anything directly “new” in terms of “new game content.” The changes were more technical in nature. No new raid was launched and no new zone or anything like that was added. But with this patch, new data was also downloaded, which will be used later to prepare for the next DLC “House of Wolves.”
Important: datamining is neither “safe” nor official, but a mix of found data and conclusions.
Dataminers suspect they may have seen the second tower in a trailer
The dataminers from destinydb were already busy searching the database for changes. They came across a new “social hub,” essentially a kind of “second tower.” The description here is “Meet other guardians as they prepare for their adventures.” In the social hub, there should be space for 16 players, and it is suspected that it was seen in an early trailer (from 2013). There is also a screen from this early trailer (cover image) and this .gif was extracted from the trailer.
“Meet other Guardians as they prepare for new adventures”
Other data confirm what is already known
In addition to the new social hub, several missions and quests have also been found, which can probably be clearly attributed to “House of Wolves.” The quests seem to still be placeholders, about which little can be learned. There is also little known about the missions.
There is a new playlist that will be called “Vanguard Dragon” and is designed for level 28. The new raid is called “The Arena” and is intended for level 34. According to Planetdestiny, this raid could have “modifiers,” like the current weekly Nightfall strike. But these could also still be placeholders – no one expects that ascendant shards will actually drop in the raid.
The new strike that has been found will lead to a Fallen dropship and is named “Belly of the Beast.”
The intended area for the strike has likely been in the game for months and was already found in mid-October. Here is a video that shows the area “Traitor’s Ketch” and how to get there in live gameplay.
