In the MMO shooter Destiny, the weekly Nightfall strike for the week of April 14th is against Sepiks Prime on Earth.

These are turbulent times in Destiny. The news is overwhelming, there are some blazing flames attracting attention. Maintenance is also scheduled for tonight, and the patch is coming, but everything is overshadowed by the DLC House of Wolves and the information that comes out of it.

By the way, speaking of panic: There is no Iron Banner launched today, April 14th. So that was not a trick by Bungie.

Anyway: In such restless times, it is nice to rely on the Weekly Reset. With the reliable punctuality and ruthless relentlessness of Liam Neeson in a “Liam Neeson” movie, it is also happening on Tuesday, bringing new things worth shooting at.

In the week of April 14th, the Nightfall takes place in the “Devil’s Lair” against Sepiks Prime.

The modifiers for the Nightfall strike on April 14th

The 5 modifiers are:

• Nightfall – If all Guardians die, it will go back to orbit, the strike must be started anew.
• Epic – the difficulty is increased, the Nightfall is the hardest among all strikes.
• Angry – enemies cannot be halted even by damage hits.
• Lightswitch – enemies deal double melee damage, and the lights may go out.
• Arc Burn – both Guardians and enemies deal greatly increased Arc damage.

In the heroic Weekly, Lightswitch is active.

Which weapons are recommended for Sepiks Prime’s Arc damage?

As weapons, guns with Arc damage are recommended:

• Primary weapon: One might grab the scout rifle Ir Yûts Fang or pull out the Gjallarhorn again. Soul’s Release is also a sought-after weapon.
• Special weapons: As special weapon, perhaps the sniper rifle Patience and Time. Of course, Whisper or legendary sniper rifles with Arc damage from the Iron Banner are also possible, or the LDR-5001
• Heavy weapons: A machine gun like Thunderlord or Ir Yûts Song can clear here.

Are there any tips, tricks, guides, or safe spots for the Devil’s Lair?

Throughout the day, we will upload videos of successful runs. There you can take tips and tricks, and maybe find a safe spot for Sepiks Prime.

Until then, you can check out this article, where the strike with modifiers was active last time. Here you will find videos of previous runs.

In this video, a level 31 Titan goes for a solo run. It’s a video without commentary to enjoy. Especially the Gjallarhorn is in use. Here you can see how carefully and methodically one can play Destiny successfully. And as a treat, after about 23 minutes, a special reward awaits the precise and patient-playing expert.

Since some changes, the Nightfall has become extremely tough and difficult for solo players, so even the loneliest wolves should find a pack. This article helps you with group searching in Destiny.

Details about the MMO shooter Destiny’s DLC “House of Wolves” have emerged. This time, there will be no raid for 6 players.

This is a surprise. As Bungie announced, the DLC “House of Wolves” will not include a 6-player raid. The two previous raids were considered highlights of the game.

Bungie states that the decision was not made lightly, especially since the reactions to “The Glass Chamber” and “Crota’s End” were very positive. Although no raid will come with House of Wolves on May 19, they plan to bring another raid this year. They are currently preparing that.

For “House of Wolves,” they have planned two brand new endgame activities, which they want to reveal in the week after next and the following week. These include a 3-player arena, “The Prison of Elders,” and the event “Trials of Osiris.”

However, next week they want to first present how they envision upgrading equipment. They suspect that this is where players will have the greatest thirst for information. An initial image shows that a legendary weapon with 300 damage from the raid “The Glass Chamber” can be upgraded to the new value of 365.

What do we know about the two new in-game activities?

Now we come to the unofficial part of the news.

We have had some information from the database about “Trials of Osiris” for some time. This is likely to be a PvP event on Mercury. Players will compete in a type of 3-vs-3 “deathmatch.” Those who achieve multiple victories in a row will likely be rewarded increasingly. This event is also associated with the exotic scout rifle “Fate of All Fools”. The special aspect seems to be that one must purchase a “life,” an “entry to the tournament,” for a high price.

A selection of legendary weapons that could be rewards circulated some time ago. But these could still all be placeholders.

Little is known about the second activity, the arena Prison of Elders. Many speculate that it could be a type of “horde mode,” where 3 players must fight against increasingly stronger waves until they are overwhelmed. It seems that this will be a 3-player activity with modifiers, comparable to the Nightfall Strike.

But these are still just speculations at the moment. We will learn more in a few weeks.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, Patch 1.1.2 will be deployed this evening, April 14th. The update is expected to bring a larger vault, a different ammunition distribution in the Crucible, and numerous other changes.

Yesterday was really busy in Destiny: The new DLC got a release date and a trailer. But that’s not all. Last night at 1:00 AM our time, Bungie tweeted that Patch 1.1.2 is set to be deployed on Tuesday evening, April 14th, our time. The exact time is not quite clear. One can possibly expect that the servers will be shut down between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM for the deployment of the patch, Update 1.1.2.

Update 1.1.2 will deploy to your consoles tomorrow morning, Pacific. The wait is over. Stay tuned for the Launch. pic.twitter.com/Y6HQLQb4v5 — Bungie (@Bungie) April 13, 2015

Update 1.1.2 brings mainly small improvements to daily life in Destiny

We have extensively introduced the content of the patch over the past few weeks. While no new game content is coming, there are several improvements that should significantly ease life and gameplay in Destiny.

• Some strikes will be made easier, which have so far been considered too long and tedious
• The bugs in the raids “The Glass Chamber” and “Crota’s End” are to be eliminated, especially those of the final bosses Atheon and Crota
• They want to significantly enlarge the vault

• Expanded options for graphic and sound settings are coming, especially color-blind players should benefit from this
• Players will be able to wear the helmet in the Tower
• Players can report others if they are not playing during strikes
• A sort of “child safety lock” will be introduced, so that one cannot accidentally delete exotic or other important items
• The ammunition distribution in the Crucible will be regulated differently, both green and purple ammunition will become rarer
• And much more that has not been revealed yet

The patch notes are not yet available. It is expected that there may also be some balance changes for weapons.

Update Tuesday, 6:00 PM: It is now 9:00 AM at Bungie. They have confirmed via Twitter that players can expect the Update 1.1.2 in the next few hours.

We’re deploying Update 1.1.2 this morning. Stay tuned for updates within a matter of hours. Break out the launch keys. — Bungie (@Bungie) April 14, 2015

Update 6:40 PM: The patch should be coming soon, players are being kicked from activities and must download the patch before continuing.

7:20 PM: The patch notes are now available, we will summarize them here in German.

Is there news from the data miners in the MMO shooter Destiny? This time it’s about the PvP event “Iron Banner.” Could it start tomorrow, but Bungie keeps it from us.

The Japanese leaker Megaman has addressed players with a cryptic message. For a long time, hot information about Xur’s inventory, the weekly Nightfall strike, Bungie’s scheduling, or the release date of House of Wolves came from his messages to the subreddit DestinyTheGame.

However, the source of information seems to be drying up.

Have the gaps been found and closed; no more predictions possible?

Although Xur’s presence has diminished, he still predicted in recent weeks what would happen on Tuesday in Destiny, whether a special event is coming up or which Nightfall strike it would be. This weekend, that was absent.

And apparently, this will be the case in the future. Because the “weekly Nightfall” strikes can no longer be predicted accurately, according to Megaman. Bungie has likely taken measures to block access to information. So while Megaman thinks that tomorrow, on April 14,, Sepiks Prime is up, he’s not sure.

It is even trickier with the Iron Banner: Originally, an “Iron Banner” was scheduled for April 14 and predicted as such. When Megaman tried again to confirm the information, it was missing. It could therefore be that Bungie has changed the plans and that no Iron Banner will start on April 14.

Megaman himself expects that it will no longer be possible to access data about House of Wolves in the future. At least not with his method. This will likely end with patch 1.1.2.

Fans have their own theory

Some fans have developed their own theory about the Iron Banner. In the past, players could bypass the reputation farming in the current Iron Banner with a special trick and directly pick up solid items. They had to wait in orbit beforehand and then log in precisely. They could wait because they knew exactly when the Iron Banner would start.

The theory now suggests: Perhaps the Iron Banner will indeed start on Tuesday at 11:00 AM. But Bungie tells us nothing so that we cannot use the glitch and that we do not experience this again:

The theory is fueled by the fact that the Bungie event calendar does not list any Iron Banner, nor any marked “date to be determined.” However, there could be a much simpler explanation for all of this: The Iron Banner will not come until a week later on April 21.

In any case, it seems that not only Fridays in Destiny will become more exciting in the future, but also Tuesdays. However, there will surely be some cautious players who would rather wait in orbit shortly before 11:00 AM tomorrow.

In the MMO shooter Destiny the release date for the DLC “House of Wolves” has been announced. Apparently, a video is also expected to be released in the next few minutes.

As several US sources report, Activision has announced the release date of the next DLC “House of Wolves“. It is set for May 19.

This is the date that has been circulating for several months. It was brought into the game by Japanese leaker Megaman in February. Earlier this year, there were leaks from October suggesting that “House of Wolves” would be released in March. But that was resolved with the official announcement that House of Wolves would not be released until the second quarter of 2015.

A video is expected in the next few minutes. Currently, US sources only have the date as information. They expect a video by 7:00 PM our time or even earlier. We are curious to see how this will develop.

By the way, this is supposed to be the video. It is currently set to “private” and should be visible at 7:00 PM! Those wondering why this is all so strange, allegedly the press release was sent out to US sites too early due to an error.

Update 7:00 PM: This is the trailer now. It tells the prologue, the backstory, to the next DLC House of Wolves. The prologue is told from the queen’s perspective. She wants to take revenge on the traitors she let into her house. And she is prepared to place the riches of her realm as a bounty.

Little is officially known about House of Wolves so far…

Currently, there is little confirmed information about the gameplay contents of House of Wolves, but there are many leaks and speculations. An statement by raid designer Luke Smith is considered certain. He stated that they want to avoid repeating two mistakes made with “The Darkness Awaits”. The upgrading of exotic items should not be “reset” this time. Additionally, vendors would not sell items stronger than those players looted in the previous raid.

… but a lot is speculated

Even though the official statements are sparse at the moment, there are plenty of speculations and leaks, but it is not certain that this is true and similarly makes it into the game:

• it is suspected that a second social space, a second tower will be introduced
• there are already pictures of the supposed raid gear and the exotic weapons and armors
• and also the vendor weapons and armors can already be admired

Update 7:00 PM: The trailer is now here and tells the backstory to House of Wolves. Those who were hoping for more information will have to be patient. While a homepage for the expansion has been published, there are still no facts there; these are expected to appear in small portions in the coming weeks. On Wednesday, April 22, further information is to be revealed.

So far, we only know:

• there will be new story missions
• three new competitive multiplayer maps
• a cooperative strike
• a new elimination mode in the crucible (could be Trials of Osiris but does not have to be)
• and a new arena activity called The Prison of Elders (here it is suspected to be a kind of horde mode, but it is not known whether it comes instead of or in addition to a raid)

So there’s still a lot unclear.

In the MMO shooter Destiny the next DLC “House of Wolves” is still a mystery. Now, the voice actress of one of the main characters gives hints.

Actress and voice actress Kirsten Potter lends her voice to the elegant “Queen of the Reef” in the original. And the queen will likely play a central role in the upcoming Destiny DLC “House of Wolves” alongside her brother. Now, Potter tweeted over the weekend:

Just recorded some cool stuff with Team Bungie. House of Wolves shaping up to be pretty intense. There are dark days ahead, Guardian!

— Kirsten Potter (@kirsten_potter) April 11, 2015

She recorded some cool stuff with the Bungie team. House of Wolves is shaping up to be a pretty intense experience. Dark days are ahead, Guardian!

Well, that sounds exciting. Bungie’s schedule provides for the first information about “House of Wolves” this week, maybe we will see a first trailer on Thursday.

The last expansion “Darkness Awaits” also featured Eris Morn, a character who went through a lot. It was already quite dark back then.

The MMO shooter Destiny is characterized by legends and myths, rumors, and tales. How do you increase your chances of getting exotic weapons like the Gjallarhorn? How exactly does Xur work, and what about the Nightfall strikes? We investigate 6 of the most popular misconceptions.

In our daily work, we frequently encounter statements from fans that leave us puzzled. “Xur can’t bring the Gjallarhorn anymore!” they say. “A Bungie employee tweeted that! Don’t you know that? And you want to be experts!

Or we hear: “I’m saving my Icebreaker. I already have three, and when Bungie introduces the trading system, I’ll trade them for the Thunderlord, which I still need.“

“Where did you read that it would be like this?” we ask.then.

And then they say: “Someone told me.” Or: “On Twitter.” Or: “That was posted by you once, right?“

No … probably not.

Destiny is a game where many of the mechanics are hidden. It is a game where you often cannot take your fate into your own hands, where the developers remain silent about their plans, where much depends on luck, and where so many people talk so much that often quite a bit of nonsense comes out of it.

Today, we will take a look at the 6 top misconceptions about Destiny. We are on the trail of the “Tower Legends.”
