The MMO shooter Destiny is rumored to receive a series of new PvP game modes in March. According to a source, this is intended to bridge the gap until the release of “House of Wolves.”

Since Friday, the Destiny subreddit has been buzzing with so-called “leaks.” A Japanese user had previously delivered “gold” a few weeks ago, showing real screens of weapons and armor from the upcoming DLC “House of Wolves” that had never been seen before and were impossible to obtain. And even though the weapons and armor in this form are unlikely to go live, it was an impressive find that granted the user a fair amount of credibility.

On Friday, the Japanese user correctly predicted Xur’s inventory and made some statements about his inventory in the coming weeks, and also mentioned when the PvP event Iron Banner would return and what would be available there.

Amount of PvP in March in Destiny

Now he is making further statements about various game modes that Bungie apparently wants to use to keep players occupied until the release of “House of Wolves.”

These mainly include the so-called “Inferno Mode.” These are Crucible rounds where the radar is disabled. Furthermore, only “kills” will award points, meaning it is somewhat more stripped down compared to the “normal” Crucible.

According to the user, the schedule is as follows:

• On March 3, Inferno Control – a 6vs6 mode focused on capturing control points.

• On March 17, the Doubles Skirmish will return, and Iron Banner will also be active here – featuring a 36 defense armor, the machine gun Jolder’s Hammer, and an automatic rifle Silimar’s Wrath.

• On March 31, the Inferno Conflict mode is expected to be active, also a 6vs6 mode without the radar. Along with the event, there should also be a round of Combined Arms.

• For April, an Iron Banner is planned again, as well as a round in the Inferno Recovery mode. These are 3vs3 battles. However, the user does not mention a specific date for this.

By the way, no one needs to wonder about the German screens as they were also available in many other languages.

Officially, this is certainly not. It should be noted: Even if these screens and data are real, which can be assumed: It only takes one decision and a patch from Bungie to undo all these plans.

Many fans are likely to react with disdain to the March plans, should they be true. Many are rather longing for PvE activities, but there is neither unofficial information nor anything new officially.

In Destiny, the excitement about Xur, the Agent of the Nine, is high. The community manager DeeJ now promises to advocate for the players’ interests and look for solutions with the team.

This Friday marked the third time in three months that the DLC sniper rifle “No Land Beyond” was available from Xur. Those who needed the weapon purchased it during the first two times, making this weapon offering a dud this time. And the worst part: a pattern emerges. Once every 4 weeks, it seems Xur sells the DLC weapon No Land Beyond, followed by the DLC rocket launcher “Dragon’s Breath” the following week. Then there are two weeks of other weapons, and then it continues with No Land Beyond.  Now it was “No Land Beyond’s” turn, so is there going to be the rocket launcher Dragon’s Breath for the third time next week? Grim prospects for Destiny players and enough reason to be upset.

Destiny Community Manager: They fixed the Cryptarch, they can also fix Xur

Surprisingly, DeeJ, the community manager of Destiny, agrees. He made unusually clear statements in the reddit forum. To a player who thought it was outrageous that Xur sells Dragon’s Breath and No Land Beyond once a month, DeeJ agreed: “I see it that way too. That’s my argument. They fixed the Cryptarch. I think they can also fix Xur.”

I agree. That’s the case I’ve been making. They fixed the Cryptarch. I think they can fix Xur.

In the coming days, he will clearly address the responsible designers about the problem and talk to the team about solutions.

Instead of making house calls here to offend people with conversations about the issues, I’m going to focus my efforts on talking to the team about solutions.

DeeJ also commented on the “prophecies” of the Japanese user who predicted Xur. Xur’s loot table is “randomly” generated. But even if a player can predict it, that has no influence on the outcome. DeeJ asked the team if it was possible to manually influence Xur and his offerings. They told him that manipulation was not possible.

Mein MMO says: Xur remains a mystery after so many months. If it really is programmed to sell “Dragon’s Breath” and “No Land Beyond” once a month in its random pattern, then it urgently needs to be changed. It doesn’t help at that time anymore, no one will buy “Darkness Awaits” because of that.

We have dealt with the disproportionately represented DLC content in the game’s systems and the negative effects it has in this article: Fans are angry: Too much DLC stuff in rotation – especially with Xur

A fifth grader has become a victim of a troll in the MMO shooter Destiny. The troll promised to show him a trick to become stronger if the boy handed over control of his account through Shareplay.

A few weeks ago, we posted the video of a man who deleted all of his exotic items: He wanted to do this when the hand cannon Thorne dropped. It dropped, and he did it.

Now there is a similar video, but it is much more brutal. An 11-year-old boy is playing Destiny when a malicious figure named “Kermit the Frog” appears, promising to show him a cheat to become stronger. This does indeed sound a bit like “Get in my car; I have candy for you.” The boy hands over his account to the stranger, steps away from the TV for a moment, and well … yes, the other one deletes two of his Guardians and his third Guardian’s exotic fusion rifle Plan C.

The video raised some doubts about whether it is really real. After all, it looks almost too brutal to be true. And what mother would upload a video of her son humiliating himself to her own YouTube channel?

There are now answers to those questions: The boy’s mother spoke with the US site GameInformer and said she only uploaded the video to her account to show it to Bugie’s support for review. Her son learned a “valuable lesson” from the events: to also protect what you have worked for. The troll had previously gained her son’s trust while playing together.

Meanwhile, the video has been noticed by Bungie and featured in the Weekly Update as an example of “Be careful out there.” Well, more than 300,000 others have seen it, too.

At the moment, some hope that Bungie will make an exception and that the boy will get his account back. Meanwhile, the fifth grader is confronted with the reality of the internet. While some empathize and cringe at the sight of the event, feeling for him, taking his side and appealing to Bungie’s leniency, he has to endure some ridicule from others, questioning how he could have been so naive. By handing control to “Kermit” in the video, believing he would gain illegal advantages, it also takes on a moral tone. The fifth grader here says he was lured into it. Before the video started, the troll convinced him to do it.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, a player recorded a YouTube clip showing which materials he could hit with a special sniper rifle, the LDR 5001.

The LDR-5001, a Vanguard sniper rifle with armor-piercing rounds, we have already introduced to you. Meanwhile, we even know, what the name stands for: LDR is a long-distance relationship, 5001 could be 5001 feet, almost 1.5 kilometers. Above that, a deadly shot is still possible.

The LDR-5001 is not an “Exotic” and the kills with it are not as spectacular as with The Last Word or knife kills, but it is a true wonder weapon, as it can shoot through just about anything in Destiny: as long as it only has a single layer.

The special “Wallbuster” ability of the LDR-5001 is impressively showcased in this Crucible video.

Oh … and because today is Saturday, we’ll add this bonus shot: Someone takes aim at a heavy ammo crate with the LDR5001. The shot is titled “4 in one shot.”

In Destiny, a user has now accurately predicted Xur’s inventory a few hours before his arrival and is now engaged in further prophecies.

During the night from yesterday to today, a Japanese user who surprised everyone a few weeks ago with all the pictures of ‘House of Wolves’: Back then, he posted all the vendor weapons and vendor armor that are in the database for the next Destiny DLC .

Now he is back. And he said he could foresee Xur’s inventory. However, in the original post, he did not provide specific details about today’s inventory. He only mentioned that Xur would have heavy ammo syntheses – which proved to be true.

To further prove his point, he uploaded a screenshot of Xur’s inventory on imgur. This was dated this morning at 6:00 AM and indeed reflects the inventory, that Xur should have four hours later. The user likely linked to the previously uploaded screen just before Xur’s inventory was finalized, supposedly so that Bungie had no opportunity to change it last minute.

According to the user, both Hard Light and Thunderlord (cover image) will be featured with Xur in the coming weeks. However, Gjallarhorn will not.

Whether all of this is legitimate is currently doubted by some, but it looks extremely real. Until now, it was thought that such “time travel” tricks wouldn’t work. However, no one has yet been able to explain how the Japanese user got the screens of the “House of Wolves” weapons and armor. They were also confirmed by Bungie to be real and in the game, although they probably won’t go live as such, but rather serve as placeholders. But somehow he managed back then to access data that no one else found.

Further predictions for Iron Banner and Nightfall

The user further claims that he can predict the upcoming Nightfalls and Weeklys, and he also mentions what will be available in the next Iron Banners.

So, according to the user, in the next week, the Nightfall and the Weekly Heroic will feature “Valus Ta’aurc” on Mars. In the Nightfall, it’s a tough no-burn week, no damage modifier is active, but Lightswitch, Angry, and Juggler.

The next Iron Banner begins on March 17. As a reward, there will be 36 armor pieces for the chest and gloves, with the purchasable weapons being the machine gun Jolder’s Hammer and the auto rifle Silimar’s Wrath. Another Iron Banner is planned for April 14. However, this could all change with the patch that is supposed to come next week.

According to the user, there are currently no hints in the database regarding Trials of Osiris, nor the event Queen’s Wrath.

How does he know all this?

Allegedly, the user knows all of this due to a peculiarity of the Japanese version. Here, “Darkness lurks” was released later than in other countries and the season pass is also not available here. This makes certain tricks possible that are known to some in the Japanese community.

Even though all of this is exciting, it is important to point out: Even if this data is all real and the process is as intended, a simple patch from Bungie would be enough to throw all plans out the window.
