Bungie Weekly Update - the buildup to 1.1.1

It's Thursday - and time for another Bungie Weekly Update. This one focuses on the changes coming soon in the next game update - bug fixes and weapons tweaks we already know about, plus stuff we don't. The Heroic Weekly Strike is headed for Matchmaking... and its designer will explain why. And there are some extra bug fixes that will decrease stress levels all over the Destiny landscape. Look for it soon. There's also community news (new mentors, cool/funny submissions from fans, and more), and a cautionary tale. Go read! (It's local, too.)

Cogniting the Terra

A recent Community focus on Bungie.net was shined on TerraMantis, the creator of the impressive 'Crota, the Light Eater' piece we mentioned a couple of weeks ago. It's an interesting read... because TerraMantis is an interesting person. Check out Parts 1 and 2 of his '10 Things You Don't Know about Destiny' series, below.

Rocket Envy

Ooh, almost forgot this - found it yesterday. Check out the Lego Gjallarhorn created by ZaziNombies... it's simply gorgeous. In the thread on our forum about it, slycrel suggested you check out his 'The Last Word' model, too. (He's right.)

Scaling the Walls You Build Yourself

One of the things that tickles me the most is how people find creative ways to challenge themselves within the confines of a game environment. Two examples surfaced this week that I really enjoyed. WiLLiSGaming and crew successfully completed the Vault of Glass with a Sparrow (think about that for a minute)... while DattoDoesDestiny and friends made Crota kneel using only the exotic weapon No Land Beyond. (This is akin to knocking down a building with a Tonka bulldozer.) When the game doesn't provoke you enough out of the box... don't worry, there's always some new mountain to climb! (Thanks to Gamespresso for the heads-up on the first video, and to Korny for the heads-up on the second video.)

Fallout Plays - Destiny PvP Guides

Want to learn to maximize your gameplay with a careful look at your subclass skill trees? Fallout's got your back - last month, he started a new series which will look at every subclass, and the choices available for each. (I could have sworn I posted about this when it was released, but it's not in the news database, so clearly I didn't. Fixed now - check out the Warlock Sunsinger guide below!) This week, he released the second guide in the series, looking at the Titan Defender. This one is just as comprehensive, and gives you a really clear view of what each choice on a skill tree will do for you. If you run a Titan in the Crucible, you owe it to yourself to watch this video - it will make you much more effective.

Destiny, on sale

Still need a copy of Destiny? (Or maybe need another one for a second console?) The Xbox Store is currently having a sale - Destiny is available for $40.19 for the Xbox One or 360, or bundled with the first two expansions as the Destiny Digital Guardian Edition, for $67.49. Not a bad deal!
