AimJunkies owner Phoenix Digital Group then argued that Bungie broke Destiny 2’s Limited Software License Agreement and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s anti-circumvention provisions by hacking into May’s laptop between 2019 and 2021.

Per the report:

“May has failed to sufficiently allege that Bungie accessed his personal computer and files without authorisation,” the ruling said. “To support his allegation that Bungie accessed his personal computer, May relies on a document that Bungie purportedly produced during discovery in this matter.

“May, however, does not explain what this document is or how it evidences instances in which Bungie allegedly accessed his computer without authorisation and downloaded his personal information.”

“Importantly, neither May nor Phoenix Digital allege that Bungie accessed any copyrighted work. Further, Phoenix Digital has not pleaded any facts to support that its ‘loader software’ was protected by a technological measure.”

While the dismissal is certainly a blow to AimJunkies, they could still re-file the countersuit with some amendments.

The new season will kick off on February 9th and run through May 11th, featuring three new strikes, a new three-player Battleground activity, Guardian Games, and a slew of new loot to get your hands on.

The season also sees the return of two strikes from the original Destiny – Devil’s Lair and Fallen SABER. It also includes a new armor set as well as the Ticuu’s Divination Exotic bow, which sounds like a beast.

Bungie says that the Season of the Chosen’s Battlegrounds activity is a “three-player matchmade activity where [Guardians] will engage in ritual combat against Caiatl’s chosen warriors.”

Whether or not Bungie listens to their community and fixes the rampant issues with cheating in PvP and the controversial Stasis class ability, remains to be seen, but given their history it seems that the issues that have made the game’s most devout players angry will go unaddressed.

Check out the trailer below:

Bonnell was banned back in May of this year for 24 hours due to “accidental nudity” that appeared in one of his videos, and was another strike against his channel. A lot of streamers are taking issues with Twitch TOS of late

Twitch’s policy is not to reveal details regarding the reason as to why a streamer is banned or suspended, but the community believes this clip is what contributed.

Ummm… this dude is far left as hell.

Per Dexerto, chat logs have surfaced with Destiny stating that “Twitch legal is emailing me telling me they’re revoking my Twitch partnership because of some unspecified ‘encouragement of violence’ using the platform.”

While nothing has been done at the time of this writing, it’s fair to assume that Destiny is at risk of losing his channel where he has over 500,000 followers.

The path to partner is challenging, and with the boom of influencer marketing, it is becoming more valuable to hit the verified checkmark on any platform you’re creating content on. For example. sometimes TikTok SEO can be right for your TikTok content, similarly to how Twitch SEO can help you on Twitch.

But given the TOS issues, it can be a marathon, not a sprint, in finding success.

Bungie and Amazon continue to offer guardians, and subscribers, free loot and now are offering what is being described by Bungie as “a certain Exotic weapon used for booping”. Perfect for the next set of gaming live streams.

Tractor Cannon (Bungie)

Rejoice!

In order to get your hands on the new rewards, you’ll need to wait until July 22nd. However, Bungie is likely to announce even more rewards between now and then, so make sure you get a Twitch Prime subscription so you’re able to cash in when the time comes.

A new trailer has been released teasing the raid that will force assembled teams to delve into the depths of the Dreaming City and “kill that creature and extract its heart.” Keep in mind that you need to be powered up to participate and while no details have emerged outlining the power level requirements, talk has floated around that the required level is 520 and the recommended is 550. You also need to have the newest campaign completed, along with Curse of Osiris and Warmind, to access the location.

If you’re wondering Where is Xur?, we have you covered.

This week, Xur is located on Tower. Upon spawning, turn left and follow the passage. When entering, turn left and head up the stairs at the far end to find Xur.

As far as what Xur is selling this week, here is the breakdown:

• Prometheus Lens (Trace Rifle)
• Young Ahamkara’s Spine (Hunter Guantlets)
• Nezarec’s Sin (Warlock Helmet)
• Ashen Wake (Titan Gauntlets)

Xur is also offering a Fated Engram and a Nightfall Challenge Card, and there are no more Three of Coins, so they are no longer in his inventory.

The post Destiny 2: Xur Location Guide – September 7th, 2018 appeared first on Sudairy.

This exotic, which can be obtained in a random drop, will occupy the second energy weapon slot which is far more appealing for an exotic weapon, and this weapon will serve as a big booster when playing in Crucible, or any other PvP opportunities.

You can increase your chances for finding this weapon by doing a specific set of activities, and Spider can provide you with Wanted bounties to help you along the way.

The event comes on the heels of a recent update, update 1.2.3 which arrived on Tusday, and introduced new bounties, Prestige Raid Lairs, 6v6 Crucible Playlist, among other things.

This time around, Guardians will wear the now-broken ceremonial armor from the day the City was lost to the Red Legion during the Solstice of Heroes event.

Players will reforge the broken gear into “something stronger,” and “meditate on their journey through the Red War.”

Bungie has released the following information on what you can expect:

Destiny 2 – Solstice of Heroes event

New Armor to Upgrade

After you visit the Statue of Heroes, you will receive an uncommon “Scorched” armor set at Power 240. On each armor piece is a series of objectives that you will need to complete to upgrade the armor. Once you have completed the objectives, return to the Statue of Heroes to upgrade to the next set.

After you upgrade your Shattered set, you’ll receive the “Rekindled” set at Power 340 — with a new list of objectives. Once you complete those objectives, your reward is the “Resplendent” Armor Set at Power 400. One final group of objectives to complete, and you’ll unlock the Masterwork version of the armor set.

Each Resplendent Armor Set offers the previous versions as ornaments, so you can pick and choose how each piece looks.

Redux Missions

One of the ways you’ll upgrade your armor during the event is through Redux Missions. Five story missions have been selected and given slight alterations. Each mission can be accessed in the Tower by finding its statue. Here are the five missions for the event:

• I – Homecoming
• II – Spark
• III – Payback
• IV – 1AU
• V – Chosen

Moments of Triumph

Many have already begun completing Moments of Triumph, currently being tracked on Bungie.net. The final five Triumphs will become available at the beginning of the Solstice Heroes event, and can be tracked in-game. Triumphs will be tracked by in-game bounties that are obtained at the Statue of Heroes. As you complete and turn in those Bounties, you’ll unlock rewards that can be redeemed at the Statue.

Extras

There’s also the Solstice Engram available from Tess Everis. You can earn three per account by completing the event Milestone on each of your characters. No matter what activity you play in Destiny 2 during Solstice of Heroes, you’ll receive one Solstice Engram in addition to the Bright Engram you earn for leveling up.

Here’s a look at some of the rewards that will drop from the Solstice Engram:

Armor Glows also come from the Solstice Engram. These can be applied to any version of the Solstice of Heroes armor sets, to provide Guardians with an enhanced look. Armor Glows are unlocked permanently, like ornaments, and they shine brightest when your subclass element aligns with the element of the Glow.

With Destiny 2: Forsaken on the horizon, one of the big plot points is the apparent death of Cayde-6, but, while fans debate if Cayde-6 is really dead, it must be noted that Fillion says he has not been involved with the game for the expansion at all, according to Kotaku.

“Actually, I wasn’t available for this last installment. It’s not me doing the voice for Cayde-6,” said Fillion.

Veteran actor Nolan North, who voices the Ghost, will be taking over for Fillion, leaving many to believe that Cayde-6 will return, perhaps as Cayde-7.

Destiny 2: Forsaken is out September 4 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Now, we get an in-depth look at a new enemy faction that will be arriving along with the DLC, the Scorn, in a new video posted by Game Informer that features two of the leads, game director Steve Cotton, and design director Del Chafe, on the expansion.

Bounties will make their return in next week’s patch, and will be slightly different this time around as Bounties will be available from many different vendors.

Additionally, bounties are going to cost a bit of Glimmer to prevent players from just blindly picking up all of them, and can drop as you explore the world and defeat enemies, and expire if left uncompleted.

As far as rewards, some completed bounties will offer Legendary or better items as a reward.

One are that Bungie has made a lot of ground up in is Crucible, steering away from it’s heavy reliance on team shooting, dramatically improving the gameplay experience and bringing players back in recent Iron Banner events.

Now, in Patch 1.2.3, Bungie is doing even more to improve Crucible, which seems to be the way to get players who have exited the game, to return.

Bungie will now bring Quickplay from 4v4 to 6v6, and thus, Control and Clash game modes will have their point threshold brought up a bit.

Supremacy will be removed from the Quickplay playlist, becoming a weekly featured playlist instead, and Rumble will also become a full-time playlist as well.

Valor and Glory, which are  the new ranked systems added in Warmind, will provide players with even more chances to earn more.

Competitive matchmaking will now match players with similar Glory rank, rather than a hidden MMR, all in an effort to create a more balanced Crucible experience in the upcoming patch, which will be available on July 17th,

Bungie project lead Scott Taylor recently spoke to the Playstation blog about the controversial death of Cayde-6, which was shown during the 2018 E3 cinematic trailer presentation of Destiny 2: Forsaken DLC.

“There wasn’t a single lightning moment where someone unveiled a grand design about killing Cayde,” Taylor said.

”It was much more organic than that and developed from a series of ideas we were trying to explore. We wanted to tell a story with huge stakes, but have those stakes be really personal to the player. We’ve done aliens trying to destroy the universe with the consequences of failure resulting in catastrophe. What if we could get that feeling with something closer to home, and more relatable? That was appealing.”

Taylor went on the discuss the decision process as to where to go next with the game.

“We started discussing what we cared about as Guardians, and it became clear that the Vanguard had really come alive as characters for our fans,” he said. “So each of the expansions over the last year have focused on them: Ikora in Curse of Osiris, Zavala in Warmind and now Cayde in Forsaken.”

Fan reaction was incredible, and something that Bungie expected once the trailer went public.

“Reaction to this has been all over the place across the studio. Some people are mad, sad, frustrated, excited. We think that’s appropriate. It’s a big deal, and we’re taking it seriously.”

Warmind “will send you to new places to meet new heroes and battle new enemies.”

Warmind arrives on May 8th and Bungie also laid out details on how Crucible content with be released moving forward:

“Season Three marks the beginning of a new plan for how we deliver Crucible content. For every player of Destiny 2, we’ll be releasing all of the new Crucible Maps being developed for Warmind into matchmaking. The same goes for the maps we released with Curse of Osiris. To keep the community in the Crucible unified, everyone will see new arenas in matchmade playlists like Quickplay, Competitive, Trials of the Nine, Iron Banner, as well as the new weekly rotators that include Rumble and Mayhem. That means more opponents for everyone. With the arrival of Private Matches, players will need to purchase each Expansion to have exclusive access to play those Crucible maps with other players in a private match. This plan goes into effect on May 8 with the beginning of Season Three.”

Here is an updated Road Map:

Bungie has confirmed that weapon slot changes are on the able, along with public test servers, as outlined in a recent Bungie Bounty Twitch stream.

Bungie’s community manager, David “DeeJ” Dague, design lead Josh Hamrick, and senior PvP designer Kevin Yanes all took part in the stream to answer questions and discuss plans for the game’s future.

“I think that’s a reasonable request” Hamrick said when discussing a potential return to Destiny 1’s weapon slots. “Ultimately though, we want to do something better. Either way, we’re actively working on weapon slot changes right now. Like, right now.”

Hamrick said that they would be able to elaborate more on that this summer.

“We’ve heard the feedback that the community wants more involvement or at least more of a conversation” Yanes said when discussing a public test server for the game.

“We’re actually looking at ways with the stream, but even in-game, you know there’s a big desire for testing builds early so it’s something we’re thinking about and talking about and working on”.

“This is something we’ll talk about when we’re ready to actually begin it,” Dague added.

Change is now here.

Update 1.1.4 is now live, and called the “Go Fast” Update and it introduced a ton of changes including adjustments to multiple weapon archetypes, with updated time to kill stats, and classes, among more. You can see a detailed spread sheet breakdown of kill speed and shot power info right here.

Take a look at Bungie’s official video on the update, which was posted to their official Facebook page:

Many believed the next DLC would be ‘Gods of Mars’ but new product listings on both Amazon and Gamestop showed ‘The Fallen Warmind’ with a price tag of $19.99 and a release date of May 8, 2018.

A leak in the Microsoft store shed more light on what the next DLC will entail

“Destiny 2 Expansion II: Gods of Mars sends your Guardian out to investigate a mysterious signal originating from Mars’s Northern Point, a brand new destination with all new story missions and adventures.

“Rasputin – the last of the ancient Warminds, has been alerted to a dark threat from beyond the Solar System. He has betrayed humanity and plans to construct a powerful weapon capable of detonating the Traveler itself.

“Work alongside Ana Bray, who has emerged from the shadows after being missing for years, and destroy Rasputin before his machinations are realized.”

Bungie also provided details on their upcoming 1.1.4 sandox update, which is due out March 27, and discusses how they’re buffing weapons, abilities, and respawn times to make the PvP experience much better.

Senior crucible designer Kevin Yanes wrote that players have said the PvP tends to feel too slow and complained about the “team-shotting” aspect, something I eluded to in my latest Twitch streams from this weekend.

Bungie is finally acknowledging that they fudged up Crucible and are taking strides to address some of the main issues gamers, such as myself, have with the gameplay.

Bungie are taking the tracker out of Competitive and Trials with the hopes that this will encourage players to communicate more and play for more solo flank attacks instead of sticking in groups for team-shooting.

Pulse Rifles, Scout Rifles, Hand Cannons, Sidearms, SMGs, Linear Fusion Rifles, Shotguns and Sniper Rifles are all having their damage increased in PvE and here are some other tidbits:

• Respawn and Revive were tuned in all game modes
  • Player respawn timers for all Quickplay modes have been reduced to 2s.
  • Player respawn timers for Survival have been reduced to 7s
  • Revive lockout time in Countdown has been reduced to 7s
  • Players no longer lose Revive Tokens on death
• Power Ammo respawn timers were adjusted across the board
  • Power Ammo respawn timers in Iron Banner have been reduced ~50%
  • Power Ammo respawn timers for all Quickplay modes have been reduced ~30%.
  • Power Ammo respawn timers in Survival have been reduced ~40%.
  • Power Ammo respawn timers in Countdown have been reduced ~25%
• Ammo counts have been adjusted in relation to these timers, and in relation to weapon type.
  • In almost all cases weapons either retained the same ammo count or received a buff. Swords and rockets were brought down to stay in line with the rest of the weapon offering.
• Enemy players now drop their Power Ammo on death.
  • This brick is now networked to all players regardless of faction. Secure the power ammo to keep it from your foes or steal off your enemy’s ghost, but be quick because these bricks don’t stay in the world forever.

While the event, which was brought back from it’s one-time run in the first Destiny, will feature a special 2v2 Crucible playlist, players are interested in the new gear that they can earn.

Destiny’s  Valentine’s Day-themed event includes new Ghosts, Sparrows, shaders, emotes, weapon ornaments, and much more, via new Crimson Engrams which are acquired in the 2v2 crucible matches.

Although we’ve heard this all before from Bungie, the Crimson Engram is guaranteed to decrypt into an item you don’t already own until you’ve unlocked everything, so, take that for what it’s worth.

Here is a breakdown on how to acquire the new items, courtesy of GameSpot:

• Tirastrella Ghost Shell + Fire of the Crimson Days Emblem: Complete the “Welcome to Crimson Days” milestone (finish five Crimson Days matches, talk to Shaxx)
• Undeterred Exotic Sparrow: Complete Crimson Days Crucible playlist matches for a “chance” to unlock this
• Dieselpunk Exotic Ornament for Wardcliff Coil: Complete the Leviathan Raid or Eater of Worlds Raid Lair to find this in the final chest
• Flaunting Dance Emote: Complete the Nightfall Strike during the event

Here is how Bungie described the objectives:

• Complete the milestone “Welcome to Crimson Days” by finishing five Crimson Days matches and visiting Lord Shaxx in the Tower to earn the Fire of the Crimson Days Emblem and the Tirastrella Ghost Shell.
• Complete matches in the Crimson Days Crucible playlist for a chance to earn the Undeterred Exotic Sparrow.
• Complete either the Leviathan Raid or the Raid Lair: Eater of Worlds to claim the Dieselpunk Exotic Ornament for Wardcliff Coil from the final chest.
• Complete the Nightfall Strike during the Crimson Days event to earn the Flaunting Dance Emote.

Crimson Days runs until the weekly reset on February 20th, so, get going!

But, just in case you were waiting for the right time to jump back in the action with your guardian, this weekend may entice you enough to do it.

Destiny 2 is launching the Clarion Call, a limited-time event running this weekend that will only apply to clans and requires you to be in a fireteam with at least one other member of your clan.

If you can do that, then you’ll earn double the experience points for everything you do.

It may not be as exciting as a DLC, but it’s something worthwhile to get you back in the fight.

The Clarion Call will run from 10 a.m. PT on Friday, Nov. 17, until 10 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 20. Bungie outlined all the details in their announcement last week.

The post Destiny 2 Launches Clarion Call For Weekend appeared first on Sudairy.

The downtime is estimated to be about 4 hours long.

The maintenance window began at 7 a.m. PT with the goal to bring both games’ servers back online by 11 a.m. PT.

Bungie will also utilize the server downtime to patch out artwork from a piece of Destiny 2 armor that resembled a hate symbol.

Sure, most people experienced a hiccup when trying to log on to the Destiny servers around the midnight hour, but once you were officially logged in, not many hurdles stood in your way afterwards.

To start, there really wasn’t any big surprises if you had played the BETA, the story starts off with the attack on the Tower and places your character in the chaos as you try to fight your way to safety.

What immediately stood out to me was the polished graphics, which seems smoother and more crisp than what we saw in the BETA.

After fighting your way out of Tower you meet Ghaul, who also has the Speaker held captive and is hell bent on being “chosen” by the Traveler. It all indicates that Ghaul will be one heck of a force if he does get what he wishes (it seems he will).

What is really good about the start of this is the storyline mode that brings you from Tower, through chaos, defeat, loss of light, revive and your rise from the ashes.

It is told swiftly enough not to bore you but with enough time to let the details resonate and give your character a feeling of experience that the game is trying to relay effectively without crossing the line to boring a player with the mundane.

The Farm is an interesting switch from Tower and gives a completely different feel to Destiny as a whole.

It’s hard for a game to accomplish this feat but Destiny does it with the ease of some aesthetics, a solid score and a well-executed intro storyline.

New wrinkles have been added, but not at the expense of the game’s experience. Instead of making changes for the sake of changes, the changes seem to be fluid with the game and more beneficial.

I am still rolling through the first part of the storyline but Destiny 2 has already sucked me back into it’s clutches with a feeling of both familiarity and comfort as I am experienced and well versed in the game’s universe.

I am also giving props to Bungie, who has had major server issues in the past with Destiny and although I expect there to be hiccups, the launch was void of any major issues on my end, which can be hard to pull off with any launch, especially one with as big of a player base as Destiny.
