In the MMO shooter Destiny , the leaker “Megaman” has re-emerged with interesting pictures and theories.
Guess who is back
The Japanese dataminer “Megaman” has achieved cult status in the MMO shooter Destiny, especially in the reddit forum. When he shows up, bearded, tough Titans scream like 8-year-old girls who see one of One Direction.
Tuesday might bring a Xur leak, now info about Etheric Light in the Iron Banner
Last night, Megaman reappeared and said: You might be able to check what Xur will sell at the next Weekly Reset through a specific URL on Bungie.net and also see a bit in the Iron Banner now. He claimed it’s not datamining, but just a trick. He expects that this will be fixed soon.
The only relevant information that emerged here at the moment was that Etheric Light will probably cost 5000 Glimmer in the next Iron Banner. It is said to be available for purchase at ranks 3 and 5. Whether we can really predict Xur’s inventory on June 5 remains to be seen until Tuesday morning. We already know Lord Saladin’s inventory in the Iron Banner from the Weekly Update.
The Prison of Elders was designed as a raid
Megaman actually announced his retirement as the unofficial super oracle a few weeks ago, but now he is back again because he has some theories. He believes that the current “Prison of Elders”, the 3-player arena, was originally planned as a raid. He has some evidence for this: screenshots of “earlier” versions of this activity that he unearthed in the database. There were still mentions of “6 players” and “raid”. Even at this early stage, several modifiers and difficulty levels for the activity were already present.
For Megaman, it is clear: The current arena was the Reef raid and was planned as such. The next raid with the new expansion will lead somewhere else. Only relatively shortly before the “House of Wolves” DLC was it revealed that it would not feature a raid, but rather a 3-player group activity. This caused quite a stir back then.
There have also been other changes; the current strike “Shadow Thief” was previously called “Belly of the Beast” and it was against a walker.
Are there new quests about the Queen and her brother coming to Destiny soon?
Additionally, Megaman has discovered hints that the Queen and her brother will still play an important role in story quests. He has pictures of a quest on the Moon that is not live yet.
Moreover, there are teaser images from earlier that tell a different story than that of the Kell of Kells, which we experienced in House of Wolves: In that story, the Queen’s brother has a larger role. Megaman believes this story might also play a role in “actual” Destiny soon – other concepts from early teasers eventually found their way into the game.
Megaman is not the only one with this theory: Parts of an untold story about the Queen and her brother are indeed circulating and sound very plausible. However, this story was not yet told with House of Wolves. Maybe more will come.
Fits with the theory is that the publisher of Destiny, Activision has announced that they want to add game content over the summer.
