WoW: Legion – The new Legendaries in Patch 7.1.5

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Patch 7.1.5 of World of Warcraft comes with a lot of new Legendaries. We show you the most spectacular ones.

Blizzard made good on its threat and quickly brought the next patch for World of Warcraft into the starting blocks shortly after BlizzCon 2016. The update with version number 7.1.5 can now be tested on the public test server. In addition to numerous balancing changes and the “Micro-Holidays”, it is mainly the new legendary items that are making waves. We present to you some of the most powerful orange items.

The highlight is probably the three new trinkets, there is something for every healer, tank, and damage dealer. (Click to enlarge)

Tanks can obtain Archimonde’s Infinite Command, which not only has extremely high stats but also a “Use” effect: Gain a shield equal to 50% of your maximum health for 10 seconds. When the shield is consumed or expires, 100% of the absorbed damage is distributed to all nearby enemies.

Healers can be lucky enough to grab Velen’s Future Sight, also with a powerful “Use” effect: Increases all healing done by 10% and ensures that all excess healing is distributed to 3 nearby injured allies.

Damage dealers should pay attention to Kil’jaeden’s Burning Wish, as the “Use” effect is a very powerful area spell: Fires a vortex of destruction that seeks your current target. When the vortex reaches its target, it explodes and deals 862,000 fire damage to all enemies within a radius of 10m.

These are just a few of the new legendary items. Overall, there are more than 30 new Legendaries, with something for every class. Even the once unloved legendary items have received an update and now feature stronger effects. (Click to enlarge)

However, keep in mind that this is still a very early phase of the PTR for Patch 7.1.5. A lot can change before the release.

You can find a list of all new Legendaries as usual in our sources.

  • Her submachine gun deals moderate damage, can fire continuously for up to 3 seconds. Its effectiveness is stronger in close combat than at range.
  • The Translocator can be thrown like a grenade and remains at the target location for 15 seconds. Activating the ability again teleports Sombra to the Translocator.
  • The Thermoptic Camo grants Sombra absolute invisibility for 6 seconds. Damage taken or using abilities will reveal her again.
  • With Hack, Sombra can hack enemy characters, turrets, and health packs. Hacked characters cannot use abilities, hacked turrets stop firing, and hacked health packs can only be picked up by her own team and respawn faster.
  • The ultimate EMP hacks all enemies and devices in a large area around Sombra and disables shields and barriers.
  • As a passive trait, she has Opportunist, which allows her to see all enemies through walls who have 50% or less of their maximum health points.

What you can still expect from the Thanksgiving update:

  • Completely new caves. The old ones will be removed from the game.
  • Breeding Phase 3 – Random mutations and family trees for dino breeding.
  • A flute to control dinos. This will help you to manage your groups better.
  • Improvement of servers. Performance will be increased by 20 percent.

Lastly, a small tip: Until December 1, Ark: Survival Evolved is available at a great Autumn Sale on Steam for €16.79. That is 40 percent cheaper than the original price.

If we’re talking about updates, have you seen our article about the Tek Tier update yet?

Ark: Survival Evolved brings the big update v251 in time for Thanksgiving. The update not only includes the Turkey Trial, but also permanent emotes, new caves, and new dinosaurs. Additionally, you will soon be able to enter Breeding Phase 3.

Wildcard is introducing a few new dinos with the new update. Starting from November 23, you can encounter Achatina, Megalosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, and Moschops in the wild. The Thanksgiving update will also kick off a second round of the big Turkey Trial. So far, not many details about the event are known.

It is certain that the Thanksgiving event has a new challenge in store for you, as well as new cosmetic items. The event will also introduce ARK’s first emotes – these will not disappear after the turkey hunt is over. Jeremy Stieglitz from Wildcard has personally promised that the emotes will remain permanently in the game after players unlock them.

Turkey Trial – What lies behind ARK’s Dino Turkey

The Super Turkey is a wild bird that appears only during the Turkey Trial. You can obtain the Wishbone from it to create a hat skin, namely the Chieftain Hat. Be careful! You will not get the Wishbone if you harvest the carcass. You have to check its inventory.

The turkeys roam aimlessly in the game, similar to Dodos. If you attack a turkey, it will fight back. Don’t underestimate the cute appearance of the turkey, as it is a strong beast that can easily kill you! Nearby creatures will either intervene in the fight or flee, depending on their temperament.

Start of the Turkey Trial Event: “Turkey Trial 2” starts for Xbox on November 16, 2016, and for PC on November 23, 2016.

It looks like an Age of Conan 2, but it is not – Conan Exiles impresses with new 360° screenshots

Dawid Hallmann Dawid Hallmann Reading time 3 minutes

At first glance, many might rub their eyes: No, this is not a new Age of Conan, but Conan Exiles. A promising survival MMO that is currently under development and is making waves again with new screenshots.

It is still quite unclear what exactly to expect from Conan Exiles. The game is being developed by Funcom – they are a well-established name as an MMO specialist. However, they are also in transition and have announced a new strategy. They want to create a survival game from the Conan license, with which they already have experience (Age of Conan), because they believe it’s an attractive market, where no game has really established itself as “THE game” yet. Great hopes are placed in the online multiplayer.

Early access release of Conan Exiles delayed, but for more quality?

First the bad news: Players who would have liked to take a peek this year will now unfortunately have to wait. The early access of Conan Exiles has been delayed to early 2017. However, the survival offshoot in the Conan universe has been granted additional development time. The Norwegians justify this with increased quality standards due to potential, and also that Funcom is recovering after averting insolvency.

The company recently received a financial boost, which should especially benefit the new games. The development studio is now showcasing this with new screenshots that they present in a blog post. The message is: A lot has happened here in recent months.

Still, they look even better on the Nvidia homepage – where you can see them in 360° and especially VR users should be able to enjoy them even more.

A little insight into Conan Exiles – young barbarians discover the world

In Conan Exiles, survival is the focus. As a player, you take on the role of a penniless, naked survivor. Gradually, you must hunt, stave off hunger, craft items, explore the world, and build a new home. Brutal battles with flying body parts are to be expected, and it is based on a movie that may be familiar to many: “Conan the Barbarian“.

There is still little information about the roles of other players on the servers – only that they will also fight for scarce resources: PvP is an integral feature in the open world of Conan Exiles. This also includes protecting your established settlements from invasions. These can be built with other players, as seen in the following video. This means: not only against each other, but also together.

WoW: Legion – Hotfix nerfs Shadow Priests and buffs Legendaries

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The next hotfix for WoW brings numerous buffs and nerfs, especially in PvP.

With the maintenance work tonight (November 16, 2016), a new hotfix will be applied to World of Warcraft that slightly ruins the day for Shadow Priests.

WoW Legion Shadowpriest

The reason for the problem is still the talent “Descent into Madness.” To take some wind out of the sails of this ability, the Priest’s insanity is reduced while in Voidform. The insanity now decreases more slowly at the beginning of Voidform (8 per second instead of 9 per second), but the decay increases 10% more.

Aside from that, all legendary items are increased by 15 item levels (now 910), and all items from the Trials of Valor are increased by 5 item levels. These improvements are retroactively valid.

Moreover, there are a number of adjustments that are only active in PvP.

  • Frost Death Knights lose about 10% of their Strength attribute.
  • Fire Mages gain 10% additional Intelligence.
  • Elemental Shamans gain 5% additional Intelligence, but the bonus damage of the artifact weapon ability is reduced to 100% (previously 200%).
  • Rogues receive a bit more Stamina (5%), but Feint now only reduces AoE damage taken by 30% (instead of 50%).
  • Paladins lose 23% of their mana regeneration in PvP, which means they can no longer heal as long as before.
Hearthstone Draenei Embrace the Shadow Artwork Header

A list of the complete changes can be found in our sources.

Cortyn says: As a Shadow Priest, I am quite biased, but I cannot understand Blizzard’s decision. If you want to weaken Descent into Madness, why target the insanity rate of all Shadow Priests? Oh well. Let’s wait and see how it plays out. At least the strengthening of the legendaries suits me well and should raise the average item level by one or two points.

The Division: Doubts about Survival – Does the mode need more “Battle Royal”?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division, there is a lot of user feedback regarding the upcoming survival mode – including criticism and doubts. Should it move more towards “Battle Royal”?

When the survival mode was presented last week, the cheer among the agents was great: a kind of “Battle Royal” where the agents fight against the storm, nasty enemies, and cunning agents. In this hostile scenario, it is uncertain from start to finish whether one will make it out alive. It sounds exciting, it looks exciting, and it is exciting.

However, one question arises: How long can this mode remain motivating? You play it once, you play it a second time, but the agents are currently unsure whether there is long-term fun to be had here.

division-enemy-survival

Many users see a possibility to enhance this mode by focusing more on “Battle Royal”. In short: In a “Battle Royal” mode, several players start on a large map, with little or no equipment. They must fight for their survival and eliminate other players they encounter. Over time, the playable area becomes smaller and shrinks in a circular motion. In the end, the remaining survivors meet in the center of the map and must fight until only one is left.

Last Agent Standing

A mode like this could also be implemented in survival to make it more intense. For example, the snowstorm in the outer areas could become stronger, forcing the playable area to shrink this way. After a certain time, you would be forced into the dark zone, or else you would freeze to death.

So far, it is theoretically possible for every player in a session to escape via helicopter and thus successfully complete the mode. However, this could be changed as follows: There is only one heli per session. And this starts at a predetermined time, for example after 45 minutes. Only one agent or a group of agents can escape and take all the loot with them.

However, it should also remain the case that every agent receives rewards at the end of a session based on their score. Because if after 45 minutes only one agent out of 24 were to collect the loot, this mode would hardly be attractive.

Other changes that could improve the mode:

  • A survival mode should be introduced where only solo players come together. Otherwise, they have no chance against pre-made teams.
  • One user suggested that players could continue playing as a hunter after they die. The goal would then be to eliminate as many agents as possible.

What do you think of these ideas?

Shroud of the Avatar führt Städtebelagerungen ein, die gar keine sind

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 3 minutes

Even during the Kickstarter campaign of Shroud of the Avatar, the developers spoke about city sieges. These have now been presented in more detail – and they raise some eyebrows.

During the Kickstarter campaign in 2013, a video showing city sieges was presented. Enemies attacked a city under siege with siege weapons, while it was ablaze. The heroes had to break the siege, save the city, and repel the enemies. For a long time, nothing was heard about this feature. However, with Release 37 scheduled for the end of December, sieges will find their way into the game.

shroud-of-the-avatar-elad
Sieges of the Wilderness!

Already, there is information that differs significantly from what was once planned. When a city is under siege, the siege does not take place in the city. Instead, it occurs in the wilderness. Those who want to enter a besieged city on the overland map will instead be taken to a new wilderness zone, where enemies and siege weapons can be found. This “siege” must be broken before one can enter the city.

There is no exact reasoning given for why this feature was altered so significantly. However, it could be related to the housing system, which the developers have mentioned before. In Shroud of the Avatar, housing plays a very important role, as the developer studio finances itself mainly through houses, properties, decorative items, and player cities. Housing enthusiasts often spend several thousand US dollars for this. Each city in the game represents a housing zone. According to the developers, it is technically not possible to create different instances of housing zones.

This affects quests, for example. In cities, there cannot be consequences for the actions of players. An NPC cannot essentially die or end up in prison. They cannot leave the zone, and a new NPC cannot enter the zone due to quest requirements. Changes to the area or its NPCs would pose issues. On the one hand, in the multiplayer aspect. What if one player decides to kill an NPC, but another player in the same quest decides to let the NPC live?

shroud of the avatar homes
No Instances for Housing Zones

In order to do this, different instances of the zone would have to be created for each player based on their decisions. Similar to what The Elder Scrolls Online does. However, that presents problems with the housing system, as houses would have to be copied for each instance. This apparently does not work for technical reasons. Therefore, housing zones in the game will not change – and that includes all the cities in the game world.

And this is where sieges come into play. Aside from the fact that housing fans who have spent thousands of dollars on their home would not be very pleased to see it burning, an instance of the zone would also have to be created for the siege. And that does not work. Thus, it will not be cities that are besieged, but the wilderness before them.

Many fans of Shroud of the Avatar express disappointment and fear that the sieges will have no impact on the cities, and that for example, the inhabitants will continue to behave as if nothing has happened. Shroud of the Avatar is, by the way, promoted on the official website as a game where players must make difficult decisions that have consequences. However, that does not seem to be the case…

Overwatch: Sombra-PTR down! Geht sie schon heute live?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The signs are good for a Sombra release in Overwatch. Will the patch come today?

Update 20:45: We were right. Here is our latest news article with the recent events: Overwatch: Sombra Patch 1.5 is now live!

Original notification: 
 
A little more than a week ago, Sombra, the newest hero of Overwatch, was unveiled at BlizzCon 2016. After the test server (PTR) with the hacking lady was available for almost 7 days, it was surprisingly taken offline last night.
 
Sombra is considered a master hacker in terms of story, which is also reflected in her abilities: In addition to the solid damage from her submachine gun, she can hack enemies, turrets, and medkits. Hacked medkits respawn faster and can only be picked up by her own team, hacked enemies can no longer use abilities, and turrets cannot fire for a few seconds.
 

Additionally, she has her Stealth Cloak, which allows her to move completely invisibly for up to 6 seconds. Together with the Translocator, which she throws like a grenade and can teleport to, Sombra is never more than a shadow that confuses her enemies and strikes from behind.

However, this news should of course be taken with caution. It’s also possible that Blizzard will restart the PTR to test a new version of the patch. But in the past, it wasn’t necessary to take the PTR offline for such a long time.

Cortyn says: I actually expected that the test server for Sombra would undergo several changes before going offline. However, I even like it better if she transitions into the live version of the game later today – because then you could experience her at the “Free Weekend” with friends who aren’t yet convinced. The problem will probably be in the first weeks is actually getting to choose her, as most players will likely go for her as an “Instant Pick”.

Watch Dogs 2: Launch without Multiplayer – is broken

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time < 1 minutes

Watch Dogs 2 will launch without a multiplayer mode. It doesn’t work and causes issues.

According to Ubisoft, they encountered problems with the “Seamless Multiplayer” feature during the prelaunch phase of Watch Dogs 2. This caused lags and crashed the game occasionally.

To solve the problem and ensure players can enjoy Watch Dogs 2, they decided to temporarily disable this multiplayer feature. Ubisoft will wait to activate the Seamless Multiplayer until the issues are resolved.

They promise that this will not hinder the core gameplay. Players can still enjoy Watch Dogs 2 in single-player mode without any limitations, and the coop mode is still functional.

However, the Bounty Hunter mode and other activities – they will not function. They thank the fans for their patience.

Black Desert will become even more beautiful with silicone

In Black Desert plans for a graphics update – and it is already beautiful.

Pearl Abyss, the developers, plan to enhance Black Desert graphically. The game is already known for its great graphics – a kind of “most beautiful in the whole land” – but they promise to reach a new level.

For this purpose, they signed a kind of declaration of intent, a letter of intent, with “Silicon Studio”, which states: We want to elevate Black Desert visually to a new level. It is intended to look even better and more realistic. Silicon Studio’s technology “YEBIS” was used, among other things, in Bloodborne and Dark Souls III.

Twilight Spirits: Entwickler macht Revelation Online nochmal?

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Twilight Spirits is an upcoming MMORPG from China that looks very much like the recently started Beta of Revelation Online. This is because both games are developed by the studio NetEase.

“What is better than Revelation Online? Another Revelation Online!” These thoughts went through my mind when I first saw the announcement along with the first images and trailers for Twilight Spirits, as the new game from the Revelation developers closely resembles its unofficial predecessor.

twilight-spirits01
Swords, Cannons, and Bunnies

The similarities to Revelation Online begin with the presentation of the game. It simply looks like a polished version of Revelation, featuring colorful, Asian-inspired scenarios, winged heroes, and extravagant character designs. This includes, as is typical for most Asian MMOs, barely clothed heroines with large breasts.

The gameplay of Twilight Spirits is said to be even more action-packed than Revelation Online and will showcase a dynamic combat system without fixed target locking. Additionally, like in Revelation Online, classes such as the well-known gunslinger are included, who can even utilize bullet-time slow-motion when dodging specific attacks.

twilight-spirits03
Will it also be released here?

In addition to these gameplay features, there is expected to be a hefty portion of PvP with guild battles, and story fans can also look forward to many voiced stories and cutscenes in an anime look. So, just like in Revelation Online, but probably a bit prettier. Twilight Spirits is currently in its second closed beta in China.

Whether and when the game will be released in the West is still unknown. However, since developer NetEase, together with publisher My.com, is already pushing Revelation Online into the Western market, the chances for a Western release are not looking too bad according to the website Freemmostation.

WoW: Legion – Which race/class combinations made it to 110?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

What combinations of race and class are the most popular in World of Warcraft? We have the numbers for you.

With its millions of characters, World of Warcraft is still one of the most popular MMORPGs in the world. But which characters are particularly popular in the current expansion “Legion”? To find that out, the user Krainz took on the task and analyzed the data from realmpop. Thus, we now have a list of the most and least popular race/class combinations that have made it to level 110.

wow-legion-classrass-chart-110

As a newcomer, the demon hunter is doing strong – since it is only available to 2 races, it is not surprising that both lead the list. As one can start playing at level 98, the demon hunter is often the first choice for secondary characters.

The least popular are Tauren priests. Anyone who encounters one here can consider themselves lucky. With only 1590 Tauren priestesses in Europe (at level 110), such a meeting is surely a good omen.

Cortyn says: The reasons for certain class and race combinations being unpopular can be attributed to many factors. First of all, there is the aesthetics, which is why particularly blood elves, night elves and humans are among the most popular races. Conversely, there is the “core fantasy” of a race. When I think of dwarves, I immediately picture warriors with axes and certainly not mages or warlocks. The same is true for the Tauren, where one might first think of shamans, warriors, and druids. I must honestly admit that I wasn’t really aware that one could even play a priest as a Tauren.

However, I am shocked that “night elf hunter” does not appear in the top 5 – that would have been my clear favorite. But I guess I am still influenced by Barlow’s blog.

EVE Online: Ab jetzt Free2Play!

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

With the Ascension update, the largest change to the space MMO EVE Online is being introduced: the Free2Play mode.

However, Free2Play does not quite correspond to what CCP Games is now introducing. Anyone who wants to play for free can create an so-called Alpha clone from today. However, this comes with some limitations compared to the Omega clones of those who still have a subscription to the MMO. While it is possible to play for an unlimited time with an Alpha clone, you are restricted to certain ships and skills and level up more slowly than Omega clones. Nonetheless, this offers a good opportunity to find a free entry into the game.

CCP Games is asking EVE players for some understanding, as this major change essentially affects the entire game and the game service. Therefore, unforeseen problems may arise, which is why today could bring some surprises.

EVE Online - Skills
Tips for Getting Started

If you want to get started with Alpha clones in EVE Online, you can follow these tips:

  1. Since Alpha clones are restricted to the skills of a race, you should create clones from each race. However, you should keep in mind to create four accounts and create one character of a different race in each. This is because you can only actively train one character per account. In this way, it is also possible to get to know the ships of other races.
  2. You should set goals right from the start. For example, train the skills to be able to fly a specific ship. The sandbox of EVE can be overwhelming, but with clear goals in mind, you always know what to do.
  3. In EVE Online, you usually gain ISK through mining and missions, but that can take quite a while. You can get the currency faster by looting the wrecks of other players. While the wrecks belong to the players who destroyed the ship, they usually cannot take everything that the destroyed ship was carrying. However, you have to be very quick, as others will also try to get to the loot.
  4. Let yourself be introduced to the game and the story through the new story tutorial.
  5. If you ever get stuck or come to a point where you have no idea what to do next, join a corporation or your faction’s military. You will always receive new tasks.

Let us know about your first forays as an Alpha clone if you plan to start playing the space MMO EVE Online now.

Gigantic: Beta event starts – But is Gigantic the next Overwatch victim after Battleborn?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In the MOBA Gigantic, the next beta is starting, but somehow the game barely gets out of the starting blocks.

Gigantic will start its next beta event this Thursday. It kicks off at 6 PM our time on November 17th. The fun will be over on Monday, November 21st, at 9 AM.

There will be 4 fixed heroes featured, 4 other random heroes will be unlocked for players on their accounts, 3 maps will be played, and everyone can talk and report about everything – there is no NDA.

There will also be no “wipe” – those who participated in the last beta weekend can continue where they left off.

Gigantic – What is going on?

A brief look back: Last year, when the games were still in development or an early stage, it looked like a wave of hero shooters was coming our way. Games like Paladins, Battleborn, and Gigantic looked promising.

Overwatch Tracer Disappointed
And there she looks so innocent … this monster!

But in reality, Blizzard’s Overwatch hit like a bomb, painted by someone a sweet girl. Overwatch took over the entire genre and now threatens to suppress the other games, vampirically sucking away their attention.

Even though there are significant differences in the games, they seem hardly recognized. It’s as if Overwatch is telling the other games: Resistance is futile, your attention will be assimilated. Welcome to our vast shadow, where you will stay for the foreseeable future.

Gigantic Screenshot-Naga

This has hit Battleborn quite hard and the fans complain about it. Gigantic is also struggling immensely to get out of the starting blocks – the studio Motiga seemingly lacked money and resources on all fronts. Recently, the publisher Perfect World took over the game, so it will still be released. At one point, it seemed that it wouldn’t be so certain anymore.

What do you think of Gigantic? And do you believe it has a chance to hold its ground in the market?

FIFA 17: Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Solution for the new Squad-Building Challenge

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 17, a new Squad Building Challenge is live in FUT. This one revolves around Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Manchester United.

Since FIFA 17, there have been Squad Building Challenges, or SBCs, in the “Ultimate Team” mode. Here, you create teams based on specific requirements. You use your own cards from the club. Once you meet the conditions, you exchange the cards for rewards. But be careful: Your players will be gone forever.

In addition to fixed challenges, there are also live challenges that must be completed within a few days if you don’t want to miss out on the often exclusive rewards. Currently, the Ibra challenge is active. We will show you what you need to know about it.

This is how the SBC “Zlatan Ibrahimovic” works

fifa17-ibra-movember

Every fan dreams of having Ibrahimovic on their team. With this challenge, you have the chance to get the Swede – but only for a few matches. The reward is a Movember card of Ibrahimovic, which is a loan item for 15 matches. It is not a permanent reward.

If you still want to own Ibrahimovic for at least 15 games, you must meet the following conditions:

  • Nationality: Exactly three Swedes must be in the team.
  • Premier League: Exactly 7 players.
  • Team Overall Rating: At least 81.
  • Team Chemistry: At least 90.
  • Number of Players: 11.

A possible solution is presented below. Keep in mind that many other solutions are also possible.

  • LM: Arnautovic (Premier League)
  • CAM: Bojan (Premier League)
  • RM: Navas (Premier League)

Destiny: Does the Archon Forge hold a secret? Guardians stumble upon curious mechanics

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny, Guardians discovered something previously unknown in the Corrupted Lands. Is a secret hidden here?

Guardians are still eagerly exploring the Destiny universe, hoping for new secrets and rewards – preferably in the form of cool Exotics. One does not want to come to terms with the idea that every mystery may have already been solved in “Rise of Iron”.

The greatest puzzle was already solved with the discovery of “Outbreak Prime”. However, some players are sure that Bungie has hidden more secrets – they just have to be found.

Recently, there has been a clue to a possible new secret. This is related to the Archon Forge. Guardians are currently investigating the matter.

Let the Forges Smoke – But How?

The YouTuber CoS Gaming presents the possible secret in the video. Just this morning, it was able to achieve thousands of views:

In the area of the Archon Forge, in the “Archon Spire”, there are three “Towers”, three forges, from which lava flows. And these towers can be “activated”.

destiny-forge

Under each tower, there is a pile of rubble from which SIVA strands rise. Additionally, particles swirl towards the respective forge:

Now stand on the rubble and look up at the tower: On one hand, you hear a noise, on the other hand, the tower suddenly starts smoking. This way, you can make all three towers smoke.

And what happens then? Unfortunately, nothing. So far, Guardians have not been able to discover any mechanics that would trigger a secret. They are still in the dark.

There are theories that the towers must be activated in a specific order, that time plays a role, or that a daily mission must be active in order to access the area. After all, there are three towers. A mission can be started with a maximum of three other guardians. Therefore, a connection is suspected. Maybe this would grant access to an area inside the Archon Forge.

destiny-archon-forge

However, as of now, there is still no solution. One thing we can be sure of: The Guardians will not give up easily.

Note: We just passed the patrol to the Archon Spire. All towers were already smoking. When we stood on a pile of rubble with SIVA strands, only this tower was smoking. The others were deactivated.

What do you think? Could there possibly be another exotic item hidden here?
