DBO Insight Giveaway: Winners!

Took a little longer than expected, because a couple of the winners that were picked initially neglected to respond to the email informing them that they won - but we've got 6 winners for the DBO Insight Giveaway. Congrats to the following!

• Poster Collection: Ouranje, Up North 65, and darthbob
• Hardcover Journal: slycrel, Cyber-KN, and Chewbaccawakka

Thanks to everyone for playing! When we get our hands on more schwag, we'll be sure to let you know.

Iron Banner Resources, for the Worthy (and not-so-worthy)

The latest Iron Banner went live yesterday... and the competition is fierce! (The prizes, whether bought directly from Lord Saladin through dint of long play or gained through random drops in-game, are substantial.) Are you ready? Here are some resources if you're looking to maximize your advancement, courtesy of the hardcore stats folks at reddit:

• The weapons you use matter in Iron Banner far more than they do in standard Crucible - weapons damage is NOT normalized, so picking your best gear (and making sure it's fully upgraded) is critical. A spreadsheet put together by exxtrooper can help you sort out the weapons that play to your personal strengths. (Thanks, Kahzgul.)
• A more in-depth look at Exotics, put together by maniacgreek using that spreadsheet as a starting point, can narrow things down even further. Thanks, iconicbanana.
• Have limited time, but really want to buy something that's not sold until you're Rank 4 (or 5)? Check out this post from GenericDreadHead - it breaks down exactly how fast you'll earn rep, based on what you're wearing, when you play and how you win. It's an invaluable post if you have a specific goal and limited time to reach it.

Use these tools - and your friends (going into IB with a team is FAR easier than going in alone) - to make the most of this week! (Don't have enough friends to form a real wrecking crew? Ask on our forum - there are folks playing all the time!) And just for fun... mindlessframe created some posters you can use as wallpaper, to get in the mood.

DBO Giveaway Reminder

Just your friendly-neighborhood DBO reminding you that you still have a little time to head over to the contest page and drop in your name for a chance at a Destiny Poster Collection or Destiny Journal from Insight Editions. Submissions end at 18:01 PM, UTC, Monday, March 16. (That's 2pm Monday afternoon, ET, 11 am Monday morning, PT, and so on.)

The Art of Destiny - and Some Goodies

Our very own Levi wrote up a book report on The Art of Destiny, a hardcover collection of concept art and background information on Destiny. You can read it, in four parts, on our forum: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4. Levi rocks. (I'd give him an A for this report.) If you like what you read, we have a special treat for you: Insight Editions, the publisher of the book, has provided us with several copies each of their Destiny Poster Collection and their hardcover Destiny Journal. (They did this independently of Levi's review - but the timing was spooky.) There's a press release covering all 3 products - you can read about them here. If you want to get in on this, just drop your name in the hat! (Insight is asking if they can contact people interested in their products - we told them we'd check with you, first. Your chances of winning are unchanged by your choice.) The contest is open until next Monday - good luck!

Explore the Moon with Bungie and TerraMantis

The next Bungie Ride-Along happens this afternoon, 4:00-5:00pm (Pacific time), where Bungie Artist Sam Jones will join DeeJ and lore fan TerraMantis in a tour of the Moon. You can watch it live on Twitch, or if you miss it, watch it on YouTube next week. Should be fascinating!

Avoiding Motion Sickness

Polygon has as a nice article on one of the Destiny-related talks given at GDC this year. David Helsby, Destiny's Senior Animator, went in-depth on how the first-person animations were created to be smooth but realistic, and at the same time, not induce motion sickness in the player. Interesting read! VG24/7 also has an article on the talk. Thanks CruelLEGACY.

Reverse Engineering the Shaders

uberfoop decided to see if he could figure out how Bungie was handling real-time reflections off of water, based on the problems he noticed. According to Veegie... he did pretty well. I love seeing speculation like this... and I love it even more when Bungie devs play along. Check this thread out!

Mission to Mars - Bungie Ride-Along

Bungie continues to release some fascinating Ride Along videos, this time covering Mars with Deej, Jason Sussman, and our friend Roland. There's plenty of enlightening conversation on everything Mars-related, Cabal to rocks, as well as some hitherto unseen concept art and early shots that led to the Buried City we now know so well.

Highlights from an Iron Lord

CruelLEGACEY dropped off a fun highlight reel of action collected from this week's Iron Banner. Makes me wish I had more free time!

He also posted some neat fanart of his Warlock.

Opening the Array

Hedge also tweeted about Dorje Bellbrook updating his ArtStation. There's a couple of great early sketches and linework of the Cosmodrome like what you see above, plus there's some fantastic views of how the 'The Last Array' you activate at the end of the Earth story missions came to be. I really like the painted variant in the link.

Bungie Ride-Alongs - learn more today!

Last week's Ride Along with the Dads of Destiny didn't get any front-page lovin' when it happened - but if you're a Destiny fan, you should defintely watch it. Lots and lots of behind-the-scenes tidbits on the making of the game and the development of the Cosmodrome from Lead World Artist Rob Adams. If you like this sort of thing, they published another one just a week earlier, with MoreConsole and World Artist Blake Low, focusing on Venus. If this schedule keeps up, there'll be a new one this Friday. They're streamed live on Twitch, so you can watch in real time - or you can enjoy them after the fact, on your own schedule (the Venus one is here, the Earth one is here). Spectacular!

Iron Banner Is Live

Just a little reminder that the Iron Banner is back on again at the Tower (I had completely forgot it was happening), so if you're in need of some +36 light armor, now's your chance. More details at Bungie.Net here, and a DBO forum thread here.

Lessons from Warframe

Korny also put together a nice video comparing factions in Warframe and Destiny and points out what Bungie might be able to gleam from how Warframe handles these elements. Interesting watch.

A Gallery of LEGOs

After posting the LEGO Icebreaker last week, I descended into the domain of Flickr for more constructed marvels. I returned with these, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

The Third Man Gets His Due

SKSProps is obviously talented if you take a look through his DeviantArt gallery. I'm not sure if this Mask of the Third Man recreation inspires me or terrifies me! He's also got another Hunter helm, a lot more shots of this Mask, and he's recently started a chest piece.

Which Bungie.Org Does This Belong To?

In this week's One One Se7en... wait? What? ...Ah, just read it.

Thanks for coming out of the woodwork, Stuntmutt!

LEGO of that Icebreaker!

See - a LEGO pun! Bet nobody's done that before. Anyways, SigbiasSilva let us know about a pretty great fan creation that's been making the rounds: a LEGO Icebreaker. That fiery sniper rifle that keeps on giving!

The Lonely Fall of Andal Brask: Completed

Out of the darkness, he emerged, his mind naked in the dark. There was a light ahead, like a lantern on the trail, rolling and dipping toward him through a starless night."

Since last we mentioned iconicbanana's latest foray into short prose, he's released parts 3, 4, and 5 of The Lonely Fall of Andal Brask. Busy guy!

He's collected all the links to the series in one handy post here in our forum. Easy way to catch up and enjoy the story uninterrupted!

Imagining an Exotic

Community member and treasured artist, TDSpiral, took a stab at imagining an Exotic handcannon called "The Serpent" created originally by a fan on Reddit. The results were awesome, and while I picked my favorite to highlight here, he's got a wallop of variations to gaze at.

The Lonely Fall of Andal Brask: Part 2

Just a quick note to say that iconicbanana posted part 2 of his The Lonely Fall of Andal Brask story. I think it's time we start dusting off our Fan Fiction section, what do you say?

Fanfic Saturday!

It looks like a storytelling bug is starting to go around in the forums! iconicbanana follows up his Eris Origins storyline with a new piece of fiction, The Lonely Fall of Andal Brask: Part 1, and Dagoonite has started his own storyline with two new pieces, The Lost Exo and What Was Unsaid. Go check them out and let them know what you think; I love seeing these community creations!

Eris Origins: Conclusion

Just a quick note to say that iconicbanana posted the final installment of his Eris Origins storyline today. Go check it out!

Beautiful Art from Bungie Craftsmen

Thanks to Hedgem0ny doing my work for me, we've got three different artists posting work from Destiny.

• Mark Van Haitsma has updated his ArtStation with a few different models that he worked on for The Dark Below, in addition to work for the core game.
  
• As well, Corinne Scrivens has poster her model of the Eris NPC in a few different views.
• And Isaiah Sherman posted a handful of screenshots of the skyboxes he worked on.
  

The Journey Continues for Eris

As we mentioned yesterday, iconicbanana's Eris Origins fanfiction is getting rave reviews in the DBO forums. It's already pushed ahead with part 3 and part 4. Go read something creative!

Eris Origins

DBO regular iconicbanana has decided to lift the dark veil on Eris and expand on the mysteries of her past with some interesting short prose. You can read Part 1 and Part 2 in our forum.
