In the MMO shooter Destiny , Bungie has introduced changes to the upcoming Iron Banner event. The Iron Banner will no longer be the same. Players who prefer PvP will now be able to find legendary armor pieces outside of the raid, which can be upgraded to a light level of 30.

In the most recent Weekly Update, which was released on the night from Friday to Saturday, Bungie detailed the planned changes to the Iron Banner event. However, they have not yet announced when it will return. Changes to the PvE event “Queen’s Wrath” have also been announced, which is still in the works.

The Iron Banner was completed in early October and received a lot of criticism from fans. There were complaints about too weak rewards, the lack of incentive to finish a supposedly lost match, and the low advantage that the gear provided. All this feedback has been heard by Destiny and solutions have been devised.

Even without a raid, there will soon be 30-level gear in Destiny

• Loot: Lord Saladin will have armor that can be upgraded to a light level of 30 next time. However, only for two armor slots. Until now, only exotic armor pieces (of which you can wear only one) and legendary items from the raid could be upgraded to the maximum value of 30. A player must wear 4 pieces of armor with this value to reach a light level of 120. Then they reach the coveted light level 30, the max level in Destiny. They plan to increase the weapon drops from 2 to 4.

Gear matters and losing is worthwhile

• Gear matters: In the next Iron Banner, gear will play a significantly larger role than last time. They were too cautious before. In the next Iron Banner in Destiny, only level 20 players will be allowed. Lower-level players can stick to a fireleader to sneak in.
• Losing is worthwhile: At the end of a lost match, losers will receive a medal. In the next victory in Destiny’s Iron Banner, these medals will be redeemed. Each of these medals will be worth almost as much as a victory.

Easier bounties, more for farming

• Bounties will be easier: The bounties, an important incentive for participation, will remain but will be somewhat friendlier.
• Weapons can be reforged: The four Iron Banner weapons could be “reforged” by Lord Saladin. This will re-roll all upgrades on the weapons. This also applies to Iron Banner weapons already acquired. However, all progress will be lost in the process.
• Up to Rank 5: The Iron Banner will be increased up to reputation rank 5. There will be a reputation bonus to help players gain reputation, even if they can only join the event late.

All these changes, it is stated by Destiny, are still provisional and could change.

This will no longer be acceptable: Level 4 players dominate the high-level PvP event in Destiny.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, starting at 11 AM today, strange coins can be exchanged for exotic items from Xur, the Agent of the Nine and black market dealer.

In the MMO Destiny, every Friday is Xursday, a reason to celebrate. Xur, a vendor, appears in the Tower with a variety of desirable exotic armors and always offers an exotic weapon. However, he gives these only in exchange for “strange coins.” Since he is also the only place to spend these coins, it makes sense.

Exotic items in Destiny have special bonus abilities and unique names (and a great sound). A Guardian can only equip one exotic weapon and one exotic armor piece at a time. The items are designed to spark the collection instinct of the Guardians, so that players, even if they’ve achieved everything else, still seek the next exotic item to be more versatile. In Destiny, it is advisable not only to have the strongest weapons but also a wide variety, ideally one of each damage type in the three slots: Primary, Special, and Heavy.

The armor pieces that Xur offers can be upgraded to a light level of 30. That’s the magic number that allows you to reach the light level of 30. This is currently the goal for many players preparing for the next DLC in December.

All about Xur in Destiny from October 24 to October 26

When is Xur in the Tower this week?

Xur arrives on Friday at 11 AM and stays until Sunday afternoon. However, since the clocks will be set back to standard time overnight from Saturday to Sunday, he will likely leave by 10 AM.

Where is Xur?

The location of Xur is in the room with the three Vanguard vendors.

What does Xur have for each class and what does it cost?

For Warlocks, he offers the following chest armor: The Voidfang Vestments for 13 strange coins.

For Titans, he has – as in the last week – the Armamentarium for 13 strange coins.

For Hunters, there is also an exotic armor piece this week, the Alpha Lupi, for 13 strange coins.

The Suros Regime, surely a dream for many, is an automatic rifle and is available this week for 23 strange coins. Yes, primary weapons are that expensive.

Update: The Suros Regime is definitely the highlight of this week. In the forums for Destiny, players are heavily discussing whether it’s worth purchasing after the nerf of automatic rifles. The general mood can be summarized as: Of course, it’s worth it, just buy it already! The Slow perk makes the weapon still excellent in mid-range and close-range and the least affected by the nerf of automatic rifles.

An exotic glove engram is also available for 23 Motes of Light. Here, caution is advised, as no one knows what will drop. It could also be an exotic pair of gloves for another class.

By the way, on mein-mmo.de, we not only publish this Xûrsday report for you every Friday, but also many other Destiny articles. Check outour topic page for the MMO shooter.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, a talented YouTuber has combined the sound effects of various exotic weapons into a beat.

You really have to come up with such an idea. The player EnderGamma has dug through his weapon arsenal in Destiny, specifically selected the right exotic weapons, and composed a little shooting music from them. With this, he thanks the RNG god, who has truly blessed him.

Player composes a little shooting music in Destiny

Viewers can recognize the Vex Mythoclast, the auto rifle Suros Regime, Thorn, the sniper Patience and Time, and many other exotic weapons in the instrumentarium, for which unlucky Destiny players (basically all others) would kill the Cryptarch with friends or at least for him.

The beat reminds of a kind of march, and the guns keep the rhythm. The video was posted by the official Bungie Twitter account, is likely to go viral, and is, in our opinion, a real hit. Perhaps together with the pixel cartoon recently, the coolest Destiny video so far. If you don’t believe us, listen for yourselves:

The MMO shooter Destiny is arguably the game of the last few months, and some celebrities have also expressed their love for it. While former boxing champion Mike Tyson is still gaming, Eminem no longer does. He has grown tired of Destiny.

Celebrities also game

Statistically, celebrities have to game as well. Especially since they often lead an unsettled life, being on the move, they have plenty of free time in foreign cities and hotel rooms, which they then spend with gaming consoles. Consoles are reportedly very popular among athletes. Many football players are FIFA experts, basketball players play NBA 2K, and a savvy football player is obviously a Madden pro. However, not every celebrity admits to their passion, and MMOs tend to be viewed as a bit nerdy (not sure why) and could therefore damage their image. That’s why gamers are pleased when – as in the case of the recently deceased Robin Williams – someone who truly “belongs to the community” is revealed.

In Destiny, this appears to be the former boxing world champion, ear nibbler, pigeon breeder, and, as we know since “Hangover,” tiger lover Mike Tyson. He was a guest on a US radio show and was asked what he does in his free time. Tyson replied that he plays video games. “Which ones?” “Destiny, a lot of Destiny,” was his answer.

Does Eminem really not play Destiny anymore or is it nasty Nintendo propaganda?

Also suspected of being a hardcore gamer is US rapper Eminem. According to numerous tweets from people who listened to an internet radio show, the host claimed that Eminem had stopped playing Destiny because he found the game boring. And he is now buying a Wii U to play Super Smash Bros. The radio show is produced by Eminem, so it’s quite possible they have insider information about what the guy is gaming.

Whether the host’s statements are true or he was just joking is unknown. It would fit Eminem’s image. But it could also be the result of nefarious propaganda from Nintendo fans – or an insider joke. By the way, it’s actually known that Eminem games: he once posted a Donkey Kong screenshot with his high scores, which were indeed quite impressive.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, there is no way to see how a specific shader would look on the Guardian in-game. However, this is now possible on a website. A shader previewer has been developed.

In many MMOs, it has long been standard to view how an item would look on one’s astral body either at the vendor or by clicking on an armor piece. This “preview” or “try-on” function is particularly popular among aesthetes who value shaping their character. In Destiny, this option does not exist. The various shaders practically scream “try me out”. It is one of the features in Destiny that somehow didn’t make it into the finished game.

Destiny has 53 different shaders, you can try them all on

On the website destinytracker, which was recently officially introduced and praised by Bungie, there is a “shader preview”. The player simply needs to enter their Gamertag if they are on Xbox One or Xbox 360, or their PSN ID in a field if they are playing Destiny on PlayStation 3 or PlayStation 4. After entering the Gamertag/PSN ID, the page provides 53 different shaders to choose from, and the player can decide with a simple click which color pot they would like to fall into.

This is a nice feature for players who are deciding whether to buy a shader for Glimmer or who are wondering what goals they could pursue in Destiny. It’s also frustrating to struggle to reach rank 3 in an event and then see Goldspiral (Iron Banner) or Prism Dancer (Wrath of the Queen) on their Guardian going to waste.

Two shaders are free, Chatterwhite and God of War need to be earned

By the way, you can easily obtain two of the shaders; they are available by entering a code at Bungie. If you’re missing them, you can take care of that right away:

• Double Banshee: 7MM-VPD-MHP
• Oracle 99: RXC-9XJ-4MH

Just a quick note about the two super-popular shaders Chatterwhite and God of War: To acquire Chatterwhite, the raid “The Glass Chamber” in Destiny must be completed, no matter how. God of War is random – many receive it after a level-up of the Cryptarch.

Here’s the link to the shader previewer.

The MMO shooter Destiny is now also affected by some cheats. Even if they are not particularly widespread, they still attract attention.

Kotaku discusses the so-called “mods” in Destiny in a recent article. Some time ago, (we also reported about it), a cheat was mentioned that grants unlimited ammo. Apparently, this has now significantly evolved. It is now said that a Godmode is also possible with the program, which is what it’s called in shooter circles when a player becomes invulnerable, and it can also achieve enormous damage numbers through console commands.

Only on Xbox 360, but probably not just for personal use

Kotaku does not seem to have established contacts in the cheating scene and can only report seemingly. In contrast to the situation in MMORPGs like ArcheAge, the problems in Destiny appear to be very limited. Such a “mod” only runs on last-gen consoles, they say. In this case, on an Xbox 360. For that, you also need a “modded” Xbox 360, which the average Destiny player cannot use.

And, Kotaku sees the somewhat strange tranquillizer that the cheater states in his video that the trainer is not for sale, but only for personal use. The source code will also not be released. However, if you follow up a bit, the “cheat” does not come from the YouTuber but from another player. And he is indeed willing to share the so-called “trainer” but only in exchange for financial compensation.

It has been reported by Kotaku that Bungie has now been asked for a statement. Because even though cheats only appear sporadically, their mere existence is already concerning.

Video shows God mode and other cheats in Destiny

In the video, you can see how a YouTuber operates the so-called “mod” using a console and thus achieves all sorts of incredible things in Destiny, including “99,999” damage hits and the invulnerability mode. All of these are dangerous cheats that are likely to cause quite a stir as soon as other players are affected. The use of “mod” in quotes is because nearly everyone outside this small scene does not see it as a mod, but clearly as a cheat.

For reassurance: Some commentators complain that the “mod” does not help at all, stating they have been banned every time after three hours. We will keep you updated on how the story develops.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, the raid “The Glass Chamber” has now been defeated for the first time by a team of only three Guardians on the difficulty level “hard”.

The raid “The Glass Chamber” is currently the only raid in Destiny. Some players probably know it as well as the back of their own hand. For some time now, they have started to perform stunts or have imposed handicaps on themselves.

In the first weeks, top teams had goals like “get through as quickly as possible”, and there were reports of the first speed runs. Later, they imposed handicaps, lowering the number of Guardians as much as possible to report that they completed the raid with just four, three, or even two players. However, this was all on “normal” difficulty level. On “hard” mode, which until recently had been completed by only about 40,000 players, this was rather rare.

The trend in Destiny is towards handicap raids

Last night, for the first time, a group managed to complete the raid “The Glass Chamber” with just three players on hard. This is not available in a fun 40-minute video where all the fails have been cut out (that will be provided later), but in an “Extended Cut”, so to speak, lasting seven and a half hours. Since this might be too much for the hardcore fans among you, we have fast-forwarded in the video and show you the final attack on “Atheon”.

Here, as they say, they also use the only “mjo … trick” to wrap it up. Because Atheon is actually not manageable with 4 players. With only three players, he would always teleport away all players, who would then be stuck in the future or past and would perish without anyone to rescue them. This is circumvented with the Lazarus ability of the Sunwalker: he dies just before the teleport and then gets back up.

Or would you prefer perfect?

Another trend in Destiny at the moment: completing the raid “perfectly”, without anyone dying; there is also an achievement for that. However, rocking this thing on hard with three people is obviously in a different league. There’s a bit of an invitation in the videos for Bungie to release the next raid. It’s unclear what else the players might come up with: one has already soloed the Templar, and the next raid group pulverized Atheon in 17 seconds; there’s not much left.

As impressive as these results are, Destiny has a “little something” of flex raids. The HP of the mobs decreases when fewer players are in the raid. However, it is obviously more difficult to proceed with so few players. Unlike classic MMORPG raids, players also regenerate their health back very quickly in Destiny. Such stunts would not be possible in “classic” raids.

Update 23.10 14:15: In the meantime, as announced, the shortened version of the complete run is now available. For this, they simply cut out all the fails and wipes.
