Destiny Levels Up... Differently This Time!

Destiny's Year One is about to leave behind levels associated with your gear. Game Informer says it well:

Players earn XP by killing monsters, completing missions, and turning in bounties, as has always been the case, but that experience now feeds directly into your level progression all the way from 1 to the new level cap of 40."

The article also touches on a revision to the loot-drop system: it will now check your existing gear so you won't keep seeing repeats and more. (Thanks Speed.)

Taken King Takes Game Informer

Destiny's new expansion will be this month's cover article for Game Informer. They'll be teasing out all the tidbits they learned from Bungie as time goes on at this hub page. We'll hit the highlights here in a moment, but just from their cover-reveal article once can gleam a number of things (as Speedracer513 points out), like new in-game cutscenes!

A Dance With Dragon's Breath

Stuntmutt's crossing the streams today. Happy Friday!

Bungie Weekly Update: The Dreadnaught Awaits

The Bungie Weekly Update is up, and this week it focuses on the Hive Dreadnaught and hints at some of the mysteries we'll uncover within. As is Bungie's style, nothing TOO specific, but there is awesome art, and quite a few good quotes on what they intend to do with this new, enigmatic location. In addition they cover the big winners for Destiny Year One Art Contest, and take a little time to cover the losers who are now suffering from the dreaded Banhammer. [Xenos hates me, but it's local, too. -ce]

I Heard You Like Bungie's Art...

DeeJ enjoyed the Community's reaction (and creations) after the Foundries were shared last week, so he decided to share a LOT more art with us. Nineteen of Bungie's incredibly talented artists' online portfolios were posted to show the awesome work they've done (and are doing) for Destiny's design. Go take a look!

Beating Skolas Over the Head

Oops, this one fell through the cracks, but thanks to Ragashingo for reminding us. CruelLEGACY posted an excellent strategy guide for taking on Skolas in the Prison of Elders a while back. But Skolas is still out there and breaking people's controllers so it's still relevant! Read this post - reference video included!

Diss Mantle

Stuntmutt thinks Bungie is funnier than he is (check today's Xur offerings), but he still served up a comic for you today.

Starside Lounge Podcast, Episode 4

The DBO admins got together over the weekend and recorded an episode of The Starside Lounge! Episode 4 covers the last couple weeks of Destiny and Bungie news, including Bungie Day and Moments of Triumph, UI updates, Community management changes, weapon balancing, and, of course, fashion tips for your Guardian! You can listen on YouTube, or with your favorite podcast app by subscribing to our feed!

Action Figure Inbound!

Although my wallet's been dreading it, my heart's been waiting impatiently for it! Hedge retweeted an announcement by 3A concerning a highly-articulated (and steeply-priced) Titan action figure. It looks beautiful - I can't wait to see more high quality licensed stuff like this for Destiny. More photos and info here.

Exotic Watermelon Exo - Pages 3 and 4

We mentioned this beautifully-rendered digital comic a while back. Here's an update of the pages Jake has published since. Click the image to go to the full page. Great stuff!

Elemental Discussion

Stuntmutt was complaining about the heat...

Seeing Red

From Stuntmutt:

Must have resulted in a ton of codes.
All of which had already been used by reddit forumgoers.

Happy Bungie Day!

It's July 7th again, and Bungie is celebrating! For those that don't want to read the whole article:

• There is an emblem you can earn by completing all of the major accomplishments from Year One of Destiny! (Thankfully making it to the Lighthouse is NOT on the list!) 
  
• A video celebrating the Community's contributions from Year One.
• A Year One art contest with the chance to win a Collector's Edition of Destiny.
• New website avatars for your Bungie.net profile.
• A new section of Bungie.net and called the Armory showing all the gear and perks, as well as the sources where you can find them!

How did you celebrate Bungie Day?

Press X To Skip Joke

This came in yesterday, but... well, here. Thanks, as always, to Stuntmutt.

Exotic Watermelon Exo

Yes, it is just as amazing as that title suggests. Discovered through Hedge's Twitter curation, Exotic Watermelon Exo is both beautiful and hilarious, not to mention an excellent piece of fanart by artist Jake Myler (@Lazsummerstone). I hope there's many more!

Coming Soon - Conversation With Creators

Playstation is kicking off a new series of interviews, called 'Conversations with Creators'. They look to be roundtable discussions with Wil Wheaton as the moderator. Episode 1 will feature Bungie, with Jason Jones, Luke Smith, Ryan Ellis, and Jason Sussman participating. It airs on July 7, and the official page has just a Wheaton-hosted promo... but Facebook has a 90-second excerpt from the interview itself - this looks to be fantastic!

Exotic Sparrows - They're Sweeping the Solar System

This thread introduced me to a really cool group of crazy people at reddit - folks who created hybrid sparrows based on weapons. I want ALL of these. I'm not positive there aren't more, but here's what I've been able to find:

• Things started off with BoldAdaptation's Sparrowhorn (Gjallarhorn).
• SithCorgi followed up with a Sparrowmoon and a Dragon (Hawkmoon and Dragon's Breath), then a Thunderbird (Thunderlord) and a Foul Language (Invective). You can find a full album on Imgur.
• saltshaker911 put together a Sparrow Regime (Suros Regime), an Ass Breaker and Quick Death (Icebreaker and Red Death), and then more recently Queenbreaker's Sparrow (Queenbreaker's Bow) and the latest pair, The Last Sparrow and Lord of Sparrows (The Last Word and Lord of Wolves). A full album is available on Imgur.
• DBMgamer posted Nix Dixon's SparrowClast (Vex Mythoclast), from the Google Plus community.
• Marteaknee put together SuperFastAdvice (Super Good Advice).
• schnuck showed off his Thunderthorn (Thorn).

I love each and every one of these. The creativity of the community thrills me. See them all in the gallery below!

Managing Your Inventory

Funkmon dove into three popular inventory management systems created by fans (and running outside the game) to show you the pros and cons of each, and help you streamline your gear management in Destiny. It's a fantastic read - check it out!

Drink To Win

Last week, Ctrl+Alt+Del took at look at the Red Bull/Destiny situation... and I laughed. Sometimes, it's something you just didn't think of! Thanks, Xenos.

Let's Play Destiny Co-op #62 Skoriks Archon-Slayer

Narcogen let us know last week that Rampancy's Let's Play Destiny jumped into a House of Wolves mini-mission - Skoriks Archon-Slayer. Go watch!

The DBO 'Starside Lounge' Podcast Is Back!

The DBO Starside Lounge is making a comeback! Beorn is joined this month by Claude, Mastrbiggy, Xenos, and Leviathan as we talk about Destiny: The Taken King, distill some details from the E3 show floor, pontificate about pricing, and wax whimsical about our Destiny wishes.

You can catch it on YouTube via the video below, or listen on our Starside Lounge page. The iTunes/RSS feed should be updating shortly, as well. Sit back and relax in the Starside Lounge, then sound off in the forum!

The Taken King Editions Chart

There are several editions of Destiny: The Taken King available for pre-order, and each has its own features and price point. It's easy to get them mixed up, but Black Six has our backs! He put together a nice, easy-to-digest chart of the various Taken King editions, complete with pricing and feature breakdown. If you or anyone you know is confused about which version to order, we've got your answers right here!

Ramifications

Stuntmutt drops by with another wild and wooly Vault of Farce:

Destiny Gives You Wings

The buzz today seems to be focusing on a collaboration between Activision/Bungie and Red Bull - Kotaku has an opinion piece that contains quotes from the press release, along with some... interpretation. Even mainstream press like Time is getting in on the act - with 16 million users, Destiny makes a splash whenever new content hits. Our forum is full of discussion - what side do you come down on? Are you horrified by the commercialization of content (buying Red Bull will give you access to exclusive content in the Taken King, once it drops), or do you see this as a reasonable marketing scheme? Will you dive in and buy the drink in order to get the goodies - or will you hold off until January, when the goodies are available to everyone playing the game, for free? Sound off!
