In the MMO shooter Destiny, the “Queen’s Wrath” event has started today and will run until October 6. We have all the items and missions for you.

Bungie wants to offer players variety and new experiences with Destiny regularly. Two weeks after the release, the “Queen’s Wrath” event has started, giving players the opportunity to gather new items, earn reputation with the Queen, and take on some bounties, indulge in a brief bloodlust, and complete them.

The bounties are not drastically special, but more or less tasks that you would generally do in Destiny – in the service of the Vanguard. The weapons also do not exactly blow the heads off the battle-hardened and well-equipped veterans. More rewarding are the rewards from the story missions that appear as soon as a bounty is completed. Here, guaranteed legendary items await.

The Missions of “Queen’s Wrath”

Vg247 has compiled the individual missions:

• HER WILLFUL GAZE | +100 QF +5000xp | Defeat 20 Guardians with Scout Rifle headshots
• BY THY HAND | +50 QF +2500xp | Defeat 20 Guardians with Hand Cannon headshots
• RELIC HARVEST – FALLEN | +50 QF +2500xp | Collect 200 Ether drops from fallen
• EXTERMINATION PROTOCOL | +100 QF +5000xp | Defeat 200 Fallen with Headshots
• ARCHON SLAYER | +100 QF +5000xp | Defeat Riksis in the mission Restoration on Earth
• LAST DAYS OF WINTER | +100 QF +5000xp | Defeat Draksis in the Scourge of Winter on Venu

The Items of “Queen’s Wrath”

And you can find all the items under this link, that you can collect in this new event. The vendor for the items is located in a previously inaccessible area behind the former Bounty vendor. Now the curtains have been lifted, and the Tower has become a bit larger, as it is said on reddit.

You will need reputation rank 2 with the new faction for the weapons and armor items, while rank 1 is sufficient for emblems and shaders.

We have already gathered the first videos and clips from the internet for you, which show among other things, where the vendor is exactly located. Because let’s be honest: What do you ask first when something new comes to an MMO? “Where is the new vendor, and what items are available?”

This video is about the guaranteed legendary items, that can drop during the event if you complete a bounty first and then finish a level-24 story mission. The trick here is to select weapons that match the enemies waiting for you in the mission:

A new patch has been released for Destiny at the start of the week. What looks like a nerf is, according to the pros, a nerf of Glimmer farming opportunities.

In Destiny, the week starts on Tuesday, then the ID and any earned bonuses expire, and there is an opportunity for a patch in Destiny. The current one, 1.1.0.4, seems like a minor instance nerf. “Nerf” refers to weakening (from “not even remotely fair”). However, some are surprised that these missions, which were hardly mentioned, are now the target of such a weakening.

In the Destiny subreddit, they believe in a farming nerf

The pros on reddit have a solution for this contradiction: It’s not a nerf, it just aims to stop a trick in instances through which players could farm Glimmer, the currency.

Players went into these missions on Mars and Moon, farmed Glimmer, and then committed in-game suicide to respawn and start the game over. With these changes, Bungie aims to put an end to that:

Instances

Shrine of Oryx: Reduced difficulty by removing majors from Heroic tiers
Sword of Crota: Reduced difficulty by removing majors from Heroic tiers
Exclusion Zone: Reduced difficulty by removing majors from Heroic tiers

Additionally, the newly opened raid, The Glass Chamber, will be the target of a fix. This should prevent unfair wipes at the end of the raid.

Raids

Dropping the relic at the end of the raid will no longer result in a team wipe. This will prevent players being stuck at a black screen after the raid.
You will remain dead if you were dead when the mission ended. That will be addressed by a future patch.

The well-known YouTuber Angry Joe now reviews Bungie’s MMO shooter Destiny and comes to a rather negative conclusion.

Angry Joe, a YouTube entertainer with a short temper, has taken Bungie’s MMO shooter Destiny into account in his latest video review. Angry Joe’s videos are known to be polarizing. They are presented passionately and have a high entertainment value: The speech is repeatedly interrupted by scenes from the game, and pop culture clips are also used.

He has created a character called Cobra Commander, a villain from G.I. Joe, to clearly illustrate and symbolize the “commercial side” of video games. And this character appears several times in the review of Destiny. This is not a good sign. Angry Joe believes that the publisher Activision has pressured the developer Bungie to hold back some great elements of the game now to make a business out of them later as DLC. For him, there is no other explanation for why Destiny, despite the huge budget, feels so empty and unfinished.

Therefore, the biggest criticisms are the story, which in Angry Joe’s eyes seems unfinished, and that there is simply so little to do. Bungie has primarily laid the groundwork with Destiny to sell paid DLCs. In doing so, they have overlooked the enjoyment of the base game. This is a dangerous path that game developers are treading. One must be careful that this does not become the norm.

The unfair drop distribution (which leads to one of the mentioned outbursts of anger) and some repetitive quests disturb Angry Joe’s enjoyment of the game. Peter Dinklage’s lack of enthusiasm as the exposition-provider Ghost also provided reason for complaint.

On the positive side, he highlights the graphics and sound of the game. Moreover, the gunplay is fantastic, and he also enjoys the PvP. He seems to have a hard time letting go of Destiny, just like many others.

By the way, in German and semi-vulgar language, a worth-reading and similarly … “enthusiastically” presented article on Destiny has appeared on gameswelt.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , a farming spot for legendary engrams has become well known. The spot, affectionately dubbed “Treasure Cave” by fans, proves to be an inexhaustible source of enemies and thus items.

It is a kind of holy grail in every fresh MMO: a spot, a location in the game, with infinite respawn, that is easy to farm and promises rich loot . In Diablo, the cult around a secret spot with the cow level has been commemorated. In the past, true mysteries arose around such spots; they were only shared among friends or guild members so that no one else could benefit from the precious source of endless looting or EXP.

In every game, treasure hunters have been searching for such an El Dorado since the beginning of MMOs, a land of milk and honey where loot grows on trees. Whether it came about through the developers’ mistake or as a result of a deliberate design decision.

Such a spot has now been found in Destiny: a cave from which an unending stream of mobs emerges, bringing engrams and drops with them.

When decrypting these engrams, with luck, either legendary items come out right away or at least a bunch of green items. Additionally, you can level up the Cryptarch with engrams in Destiny, and he will then send legendary items by mail.

Normally, one would refer to such a spot as a “secret tip,” but after the video from Force Strategy Gaming, which we are presenting to you subsequently, has already garnered over 130,000 hits, US sites like Polygon or Kotaku report on it prominently, and there is even a code of conduct for the cave on Reddit, this secret tip has probably run its course. Destiny is simply so big that nothing remains secret.

What is the “Treasure Cave” in Destiny?

The Treasure Cave in Destiny is a spot from which waves of low-level mobs continuously stream. If they are shot down immediately upon spawning from a safe distance, they fall down, and the next wave spawns.

On your own, the spawn is hardly manageable, but that doesn’t matter: due to the popularity of the cave and Destiny’s fame, someone is always camping there. If the spawn is unexpectedly off, it only means that mobs have escaped and are wandering in the open field. They need to be taken down.

Important for the Treasure Cave: Everyone must be behind the green marker, which can also be seen on the left side in the video; otherwise, it blocks the spawn. Therefore, it should be agreed not to loot too often but only when enough stuff is lying around and it’s worth it. Then it’s best to move forward as a group.

More tips have surfaced in the English-speaking subreddit for Destiny. It is ideal to use a weapon that deals explosive damage and to pick up the ammunition you shoot. This automatically collects all the loot, allowing for uninterrupted farming. The use of a scout or pulse rifle is especially recommended.

As seen in the video, you don’t even have to kill mobs yourself to loot; you can also benefit from the kills of others. At the moment, this cave really seems to be the El Dorado in Destiny: the stuff legends are made from. Until the fix. It is already expected. It can’t be that Bungie leaves such a thing in the game, they say. Some suspect that Bungie intentionally designed this cave to create legends around it that will live on long after its collapse. Somewhat poetic.

How to get to the spot, where to position yourself, and what loot you can expect is explained in this video:

In the MMO shooter Destiny, the Guardian’s power increases through equipment starting at level 20. What tricks are there to increase the Light Level with Marks, Coins, and Materials ?

Those who rely on luck in Destiny are left behind

In Destiny, many players become frustrated with the Light Level. Progress can only be made with better gear. Those relying on Engrams and hoping that a legendary Engram yields a legendary item are often disappointed.

The tiny chance for useful random rewards after Strikes or rounds in the Crucible leads to frustration. Even if something great comes out, it may not fit the player’s class or has poor stat distribution. Is it therefore impossible to level up in Light? And does it all depend on luck? No, it doesn’t. That’s what the pros say in the English-speaking forum on reddit.

Marks, Coins, and Materials – the three Ms of Destiny

Instead of hoping that the Cryptarch or the RNG God takes pity on the poor Guardian, they should take matters into their own hands and rely on the three Ms: Marks, Coins, and Materials.

Engrams and RNG, the pro advises, should only be seen as a “nice bonus” and players shouldn’t invest too much hope in them. Players can earn guaranteed legendary items every week if they just know how. That’s the real opportunity to get a higher Light Level. According to a current guide, players should do the following each week:

• collect the weekly maximum of Crucible or Vanguard Marks. This is easier than it seems by trading materials for the marks and participating in public events or patrol missions.
• increase their reputation with factions. This is also facilitated by trading in materials. Those who reach rank 3 with a faction are guaranteed to receive a legendary weapon from the faction’s arsenal as a bonus.
• earn Strange Coins. These become easier to obtain as you grow stronger. Either through the grind with blue Engrams and as mission rewards or when completing the heroic weekly quests at levels 24, 26, and 28 – then you get three coins each time.

With the Marks, players can stock up on guaranteed legendary items from the faction traders and can even get an exotic weapon or armor piece from the vendor Xur every weekend with the coins. Sounds much better than relying on chance.

It’s important for frustration-free achievement of the weekly caps on these Marks to actively pursue those activities that yield these Marks.

Materials as a key resource in Destiny

According to the guide creator, it is not widely known that the yields from planetary resources double after a Guardian achieves a certain amount of kills on a planet. With this bonus, 50 Materials per run can be obtained solely from chests and farming natural resources.

There are further bonuses of this kind that reward diligent work permanently. Those who complete 25 VIP patrol missions receive higher rewards for city tasks. By effectively utilizing these bonuses, players can save themselves a Strike or a round in the Crucible.

The heavy stuff is really worth it

Lucrative opportunities to use time effectively in Destiny also include patrol missions or public events. The materials can be exchanged for Marks at various merchants, and the Marks can ultimately be exchanged for items.

The stronger a Guardian becomes and the more the challenging missions and tasks open up for them, the less they have to rely on luck or grinding. Particularly the missions on the Nightfall difficulty in Destiny, designed for Light Level 28 and above, are repeatedly mentioned in every guide on reddit as an essential component to obtain excellent drops and unlock XP bonuses for the week. Destiny gives players the choice, as is common in MMOs, between doing an overwhelming amount of simple tasks or tackling fewer but harder challenges.

For missions of this caliber, a full team of well-equipped and coordinated Guardians is recommended.

The point is: There are systems in place that significantly ease and shorten the path to increasing the Light Level.

500-800 Reputation gathering per hour

Also on reddit, there is an unusual method for quickly accumulating reputation. Here, three Guardians team up and divide the Cosmodrome among themselves. Each of the three takes a third of the area and clears it out as quickly as possible, keeping an eye on VIP missions.

During the weekend, Destiny provides more precise numbers about the MMO shooter. An average session lasts three hours during the week, and even four on weekends. The deaths that have already occurred in the Crucible are now in the tens of millions.

100 million hours, Bungie proudly announces, have already been spent by players in Destiny. Enough time to watch the extended version of the Lord of the Rings trilogy (the really, really long one) exactly 8,797,653 times. That’s quite a lot of Lord of the Rings.

Destiny captivates: Typical session lasts three hours

A typical session of Destiny players lasts about three hours. On weekends, the sessions even exceed four hours.

And 167 million “activities” have already been conducted in the game. A Crucible match, although involving 12 players, counts as just one activity.

One last special note: In Destiny, PvP players do not just die once, but a dozen times. A billion deaths of players have already occurred in Destiny’s Crucible, in PvP mode.
