In the MMO shooter Destiny three players have now found the craziest method to spend their time in the “Prison of Elders”.

The balls in the Tower of Destiny are sometimes called “busy measures for bored” Guardians, a kind of IKEA ball paradise when the little ones need something to keep them entertained. But not many probably know that there is also a kind of “ball” in the Prison of Elders, which Guardians have affectionately dubbed “our radish”.

Well, the prison ball is not round and it is quite fussy when it comes to the main property of a ball: “I really like to roll”, but you can actually get it to the treasury. A group of Guardians has achieved this now and they captured it with a fantastic video. There is Gjallarhorn billiards, rebounds, achievements, triumph – all the good stuff.

For us, it is clear, the craziest method to spend your time in the Prison of Elders.

There are also some opportunities for such stunts in the Tower of Destiny: Fantastic and completely nonsensical things Guardians do in the Tower

In the MMO shooter Destiny, fusion rifles are among the special weapons. We present to you 6 of the best and explain how you can reshape them to possess the ultimate fusion rifle in Destiny.

All good things come in threes. After our reshaping guides for shotguns and pulse rifles in House of Wolves, we will this time focus on a sadly somewhat forgotten weapon class: fusion rifles.

A warning upfront: Since the last weapon balance patch in Destiny fusion rifles are no longer the first choice for using special weapons in the Crucible. The last patch made the projectile spread larger.

This means you have to be very close to the enemy for as many projectiles as possible to hit the target. However, this often puts you within the range of shotguns, which, unlike fusion rifles, have no wind-up time. A duel you cannot win. For this reason, almost no one uses fusion rifles in the competitive multiplayer mode anymore.

But don’t throw in the towel. We will show you how to improve the relevant stats on your fusion rifles, master the spread, and achieve one-hit kills at longer distances.

Consider it a future investment, should Bungie tweak things again with the next big expansion “The Taken King” and strengthen fusion rifles. Furthermore, all weapons and perks shown here are also fully recommended in PVE mode.

With the House of Wolves, the possibility has also been introduced to re-roll every new weapon from the add-on with the gunmaster. This was previously reserved only for the Iron Banner weapons. To be able to reforge weapons, you need the following materials:

• The weapon you want to re-roll
• 1x Light Particle
• 3x Weapon Parts
• 250 Glimmer

In this article, you can read how to obtain a lot of Light Particles.

On the following pages, you will learn everything about fusion rifles:

In the MMO shooter Destiny , the Warlock’s Cleansing Robe is an exotic chest armor designed for the Sunsinger. What can it do in PvE and PvP?

Xur had two new exotic items from the “House of Wolves” DLC available for the first time on Friday. One of them we want to take a look at today.

The Warlock received three new exotic armor pieces with the House of Wolves:

• the exotic gloves Handcuffs of Nothing
• the helmet The Ram
• and the chest armor “Cleansing Robe”, which is exactly what we will discuss today:

What can the Cleansing Robe do?

The robe is the only exotic “Split Chest Armor” in Destiny, which means it increases not just one stat, but two, Discipline and Strength. The maximum values that the robe can reach here are 103 per stat. So it can go extremely high.

The perks of the Cleansing Robe are:

• Serpent’s Bite: When you deal damage with a grenade, your melee cooldown is reset
• Serpent’s Tail: When you deal damage in melee, your grenade cooldown is reduced
• Burn Bright: When “Illuminate” is activated from death, nearby enemies are confused

Grenade and melee support each other. The “Burn Bright” occurs during the Lazarus action of the Sunsinger, resurrecting from the dead. It affects enemies in a radius and blinds them in PvE or PvP for a few seconds.

How good is the Cleansing Robe in Destiny’s PvE and PvP?

As is often the case, there are opposing opinions on this. In a review by the experts at Planetdestiny, it is said: The grenade/melee thing is nice in PvE, but the “Burn Bright” effect does not bring enough there because it is too rare to be surrounded by melee enemies. And dying just to kill enemies would often be quite silly; it would be more practical to deal with enemies from a safe distance. In PvP, however, the element of surprise is great and can turn a fight, especially when you die at choke points. So to speak: If you’re going to die, do it in the right place.

Our friend Nexxoss sees it exactly the opposite. He says: At a high level in PvP, Burn Bright does very little because strong players know exactly what trick is coming and won’t fall for it. Even if they are blinded, they turn off the Sunsinger’s light that has just been activated again. He could definitely imagine using the robe in PvE, especially in tight situations in the Prison of Elders or the Nightfall strike, where a safe resurrection is beneficial.

The optimal situation, as here, probably occurs rarely:

Conclusion: Just ask yourself how often enemies are right next to you when you return from the dead and whether you really want to give up the Exotic slot for that and the nice melee/grenade synergy effect?

Or what experiences have you had with this thing?

In the MMO shooter Destiny , the DLC “House of Wolves” was released a few weeks ago. Will it bore players faster than Darkness Lies?

It’s something like background noise that can be heard: House of Wolves is better than “Darkness Lies”, but you can also get through it faster and end up playing less. Due to changes in item mechanics, there are “fewer” special weapons or armor that players desire. Most have their “favorite weapons” already and can upgrade them to the new maximum values thanks to Etheric Light.

You reach the max level faster and there is no raid – why play anymore?

A lengthy grind to the max level is also eliminated: Back in Darkness Lies, you had to raid heavily and regularly to reach the max level. You needed 63 radiant shards to upgrade the raid armor enough to reach Light Level 32. Today, it’s different: With 3 etheric lights, anyone can bring any legendary armor to the new maximum value. One exotic piece of armor too and the Guardian is at the limit.

With the increased emphasis on PvP and the absence of a raid, many feel that “House of Wolves” has less potential for prolonged play.

Is that really the case? Is Bungie already noticing a decline in players? No, says Bungie’s statistician on reddit. However, this statement is now 11 days old. It dates back to the end of June.

House of Wolves was played even more in the first month than “Darkness Lies”

The account “Bungie User Research,” associated with Bungie, explained on reddit that players “HAVE PLAYED A LOT” of Destiny in the first month after House of Wolves was released. Even more than during “Darkness Lies,” and in some respects even more than at launch of the actual game last September.

In the last weeks of June, the number of hours invested by players has declined somewhat and is now closer to normal. The hours still remain above average, but “now they aren’t skipping Grandma’s birthday just to kill Skolas again.”

If you look at the numbers of players logging in daily, there hasn’t been a mass exodus. During the week of May 19, there was a significant spike, since then the player numbers have declined a bit, but not noticeably. The figures suggest that House of Wolves is doing a very good job of keeping players engaged.

And these are not just newcomers: The overwhelming majority of day-one players who were active at the launch of House of Wolves have also played in the last week of June.

In September, it continues

My MMO states: These are interesting numbers that align with player statements. In the first weeks, the impression created by the new story and the Prison of Elders was that there was much more to do than ever before: “How am I supposed to accomplish all of this?” was often lamented.

However, after a few weeks, a disillusionment set in, particularly among frequent players who place a high value on their loot: “What? That’s all? The same thing keeps coming up in the Prison of Elders? Why should I do this, I don’t need any more weapons. It’s not worth it anymore.”

On the other hand, PvP players found a significantly increased incentive to go into the Crucible with House of Wolves. Rewards have been improved, with the Trials of Osiris also introducing special gear for them. This may have led to an increase in playing hours there and also converted some “only PvE players,” ensuring that despite the lack of a raid, they still spend some hours in Destiny.

Nevertheless, a trend is emerging that “House of Wolves” is front-heavy, with a lot of playtime at the beginning of the expansion and a more significant decline already after the first weeks compared to “Darkness Lies.” But to say that definitively, we would need the numbers from the ongoing July and August. And it seems unlikely that we will ever get them.

However, it seems Bungie anticipated that the “House of Wolves” DLC would fade relatively quickly. The next major expansion is already announced for September: King of the Possessed. So if there is a “dry spell,” it is likely to be quite short.
