Destiny: night strike is inevitable

Awesome here. You guys know that once a week I do something crazy for all of my fellow Destiny lovers out there. I get up at 3 am to create a walk through video for each weeks Nightfall Strike Mission. This week is no different. So…Because I love you, and Destiny a little to much. Here is this weeks Nightfall Strike Walkthrough. This weeks Nightfall is “Summoning Pits” and the modifiers are:

*Nightfall – If all players die, you will be returned to orbit.

*Epic – Heavily shielded and highly aggressive enemies appear in great numbers.

*LightSwitch – Minions of the Darkness deal much more melee damage.

*Angry – Minions of the Darkness won’t flinch, even after massive damage

*Arc Burn – Arc Damage from any source is greatly increased

The Summoning Pits:

You’ll Start out this strike mission up the hill from the entrance. But you can skip most of this area. So hop on the sparrow and ride past the opening area, with Acolytes and knights. Then sparrow down the stairs and through the room where the Fallen and Hive are fighting. Continue Sparrowing (I know it’s not a verd but you know what I mean) down the stairs and you’ll hit the “Respawn Restricted” Message on your TV. Once you hit that, jump off your Sparrow, and drop Dinkle-bot down on the closed door to the right as you enter the room.

Destiny: Rich Stanton on Cheesing

Recently I’ve been thinking about cheese, and not the cow stuff. Cheese as in taking advantage of a game’s weird AI behaviour or a level glitch to bypass the ‘correct’ way of doing things. Surely we’re all guilty of cheesing it up, whether for laughs or more mercenary reasons, but one game has finally managed to… well, make a game out of it.

I’m talking about the billion-dollar investment that is Activision and Bungie’s Destiny, the slick sci-fi MMOFPS hybrid. I have a lot of friends who love Destiny power leveling, by which I mean it’s pretty much the only game they regularly play and talk about. For a couple of weeks it was the same for me, but I’ve cut off the addiction before ending up with three level 32 characters (more people than you’d believe). And it is a universe that reeks of cheddar.

Here’s the thing about serious Destiny players. They almost hate the game. There’s some sort of resentment. And they cheese en masse. Don’t be fooled by last week’s patch that fixed known exploits, it’s only part of a cycle that will see more cheeses discovered and exploited ruthlessly. All my mates talk about is cheesing. All the subreddit and forum talk is about cheesing. But why this game in particular?

First, a story. One pre-patch night a group of six friends were running Crota’s End, the game’s ultimate endgame content – a Raid that’s difficult even for the highest level of player. This hardy bunch, however, had a series of cheeses that let them go through almost every section with the minimum of effort and scoop up all that lovely loot.

I don’t really believe that. It’s an unproveable hunch. All I know is I love playing Destiny moment-to-moment: Bungie is an outstanding developer, and despite all the cheeses this is one of the best shooters I’ve ever played. But every so often I do ponder the miserly structure that squats atop the joy, doles out treats grudgingly, and dictates when I should play – and the methods that, somehow, exist in-game to mitigate that feeling. And something stinks.

Destiny players more ways to cheese Crota’s End

Destiny’s latest patch may have fixed a number of exploit and cheese spots in Crota’s End, but if Jurassic Park taught me anything as a child, it’s that life finds a way. Or in this case, Guardians will find a way.

Over in the Destiny subreddit and on YouTube are a number of videos showcasing new cheese tactics.

The particular video below shows an alternative method to the now-fixed exploit in which Guardians used physics from exploding lanterns to catapult themselves to safety, while also preventing enemies from spawning. With that now fixed, YouTuber Jon Doe has challenged Bungie with a new way to skip the same encounter.

It’s important to note that you need to be a Gunslinger Hunter with max agility and a weapon that increases your agility further. Even then, succeeding in the jump has proven difficult for many Guardians as evidenced by the comments in the video.

Another cheese tactic has been found for the bridge encounter which Bungie’s post-patch notes say will now require players to cross the bridge in order to complete the event. YouTuber Barryhof04 found this new way which, again, is for hunters.

And then, of course, a simple search reveals tons of other videos featuring cheese tactics.If you can need destiny power leveling. find US.

These are just a few tactics but it’s clear that, despite Bungie’s best efforts, players will continue to try and exploit the game.

My Biggest Disappointment Of 2014 is winning me back

Forgiving Destiny: why my Biggest Disappointment Of 2014 is winning me back.

Forgiving Destiny: why my Biggest Disappointment Of 2014 is winning me back

For the record, Destiny is still a crushingly disappointing missed opportunity. Bungie had the duty to introduce us to a brand new universe, to get us excited about and engaged with the setting, and they bottled it. I don’t care about the world. I don’t care about the characters. I don’t care about the story. Because, unlike Marathon, Pathways Into Darkness and Halo, Bungie don’t seem to care themselves. As such, it’s incredibly unlikely that I’ll buy into any future sequels, not to mention the offensively overpriced DLC.

Forgiving Destiny: why my Biggest Disappointment Of 2014 is winning me back

I’m also sick and tired of people defending Destiny’s lack of story, RNG loot system and always-on requirements as if it’s an MMO. It’s not an MMO. There’s nothing “massive” about it!

However, as I often point out in reviews, there’s a difference between the game we want and the game we’ve got. The game I’ve got has dragged me back in, at least for the short-term.

Which brings us to the loot. I hate RNG drops and the Light system as much as anyone, but whatever mode I choose, I’m constantly earning experience and upgrades for my gear and subclasses, continually growing in power and more versatile ways to spec my Hunter. And, even though I know better, the cynical slot machine is still an addictive draw when you get a run of good luck… oh gawd, no, even I haven’t quite fallen that far.

But none of that really explains the main reason why I’ve gotten back into Destiny, which I completely missed the first time around. I can’t believe that I’m about to write this, but the fact is that it respects my time and the time of the people I play with.

Forgiving Destiny: why my Biggest Disappointment Of 2014 is winning me back

This seems ridiculously counter-intuitive, I know. Destiny wastes time in a number of painfully obvious ways, not limited to the aggravating loading times, always-online connection voiding the convenience of resume game functionality, the Tower and the obfuscation of progression and items behind the Light system and RNG loot drops.

Destiny: Can WE Call Destiny an MMO Yet?

I have a confession to make – as much as I love my mmo games, they aren’t the only thing I play. In-fact, I often get a huge hankering for competitive shooters, so when Destiny was announced as Bungie’s next endeavor, I, like many, was overjoyed.

Destiny Strike

As a first person shooter, filled with vast, virtual worlds and the ability to team up for co-operative quests, it ticked a lot of boxes in the shooter camp and the mmo camp alike. However, Bungie were keen to build a barrier between themselves and a large part of their potential market.

If you continue to see this game go, we find destiny power leveling.

Destiny Classes

“Destiny is not an mmo” proclaimed the press releases and gaming headlines everywhere and, instantly, hopes for many had been shattered.

Bungie have been intent on separating themselves from the mmo masses, throwing around terms like “Shared World Shooter” and “Open World FPS”. So, is there any difference? Are the developers dressing their mmo mutton as latter-day lamb?

You can draw some obvious comparisons, with the likes of Borderlands and World of Warcraft in order to see how many similarities Destiny maintained with the mmo mainstream, but the main matter for gamers in the “not an mmo” camp, spurs from a single concept – instanced gameplay.

Destiny Review Update: Four Months Later

vFour months into its existence, Destiny is a better, more frustrating, more expansive—and ultimately, expensive—game than it was at launch. It’s also very different, because after months of tweaks, it has become clearer than ever who we’re really playing against: the people who made it. The player’s greatest adversary in Destiny isn’t an alien warlord or a reanimated moon monster, it is Bungie themselves.

Destiny Review Update: Four Months Later

The Destiny of early 2015 is a notably different game from the one Bungie released last fall, and so I thought it was time to essentially re-review the game. Much has changed. Destiny has been improved, in some ways significantly. It has been expanded somewhat, though it still feels stretched thin. It has all-new levels and bosses, with all-new bugs and loopholes. And it has been thoroughly mastered by players around the world, creatively exploited in ways its creators could never have anticipated. The collective effort to creatively break Destiny down and wring it for all it’s worth has easily been the game’s most fascinating aspect.

When I reviewed Destiny back in September, I had played about 60 hours. The Vault of Glass raid was brand new, elite players were level 28 or 29, and “Crota” was just a name we sometimes heard on the moon.

Apparently, Destiny AI hates dancing

Destiny players risk the wrath of some of the game’s nastiest enemies if they persist in their irresponsible dancing.

destiny_knight
destiny_knight
In Crota’s End, as in several Hive-related areas of Destiny, players face Hallowed Knights – big, tough Majors with powerful weapons, usually more than capable of one-hit killing you.

The video below, courtesy of calidoc, shows a raid team facing one such Knight. For once, it doesn’t seem interested in smashing the whole party. It charges in, dispatches one unlucky Guardian, ignores at least two other players – and just buggers right off.

I’m sure there’s an explanation for this quirk of the AI, but I prefer the obvious one: the Knight was infuriated by emotes. Let this be a lesson to us all: if you are bored while waiting for your teammates, try another activity, like pushing them off ledges*, instead of dancing. And definitely don’t ever go AFK while dancing.

The Biggest Gaming Disappointments of 2014

With technology, artistry, and industry trends changing on a nearly monthly basis, each new year in video games proves that it’s nothing if not a fluid medium. Overblown controversies, divisive marketing strategies, worthwhile conversations, and extreme highs and lows are par for the course. 2014 was no different, but there’s no denying that several things failed to turn out the way we here at Game Rant hoped they would. If you continue to see this game go, we find destiny power leveling.

There are sure to be plenty of Destiny fans who scoff or spit at the idea of Bungie‘s online shooter disappointing in any way; the stunning dedication of the lasting player community confirms as much. But the masterminds of Halo did their job marketing the game: the most pre-ordered new IP in history became the best-selling new IP in history, and Activision made their investment back (and then some) immediately while PS4′s flew off store shelves.

But then people got to playing the game and realized that it was no Halo successor in ways that deeply mattered to many of Bungie’s fans. With a bare-bones story, and empowerment replaced with the endless questing and grind of just about any other MMO players had experienced before, the true nature of Destiny became clear. It makes sense from a business standpoint, but the reviews alone showed that it was far from the “genre-reinvention” promised.
