While Bungie did change some things around for the Heroic Strikes, Raids still require parties to be created outside of Destiny, and it looks like Bungie is finally attempting to explain why.

Sci-fi shooter Destiny will be getting the House of Wolves downloadable content pack soon, and Bungie has revealed more information on the patch players will be getting prior to its release. Detailed on the official Bungie site, the update makes a few tweaks to the game, including increasing players' in-game vault space.

Redditor btg7471 decided to hunt through his PS4 Destiny trophies and looked at the overall stats on a few of them. The result shows us a rough estimate of how many players have done what in Destiny, and more specifically, what they haven’t done. Here’s the list

Bungie has once again reset the “Destiny” servers to provide gamers a fresh challenge for the week. The latest Nightfall and Weekly Heroic Strike is The Summoning Pits, which takes place on the Moon and sees gamers going up against Hive Ogre; Phogoth the Untamed.

Developers at Bungie are really putting everything they have to make their flagship game "Destiny" one of the most player-friendly titles. For instance, they took care with the animations for first-person camera shots, and even researched fast movements in sports like boxing.

Allowing players to try their hands yet again at completing the various Raids along with the Heroic and Nightfall. As is the usual, this week’s Heroic and Nightfall has changed with players heading to the Moon, in to the Summoning Pits to kill Phogoth.

Destiny has only been on the market since September, but one hyper-dedicated player has managed to sink more than 1200 hours into the game. A Reddit user named comphermc posted a screenshot of his inventory, and, surprisingly, 1200 hours isn't enough time to collect every item that Destiny has to offer. Though, the faction ships/shaders are the only things left on his list.

Reddit user Megamanexe4 has been up to his usual data mining activities in an attempt to try and find out more about upcoming gameplay details for Destiny. Such is his reliable nature, he has managed to turn up the Strike missions for next week, both of which we will detail below for you.

Renowned "Destiny" player, Megamanexe4 has correctly predicted "Xur: Agent of the Nine" exotic items well ahead of its official announcement for past so many weeks. Megamanexe4 exposed Bungie, who claimed that development team has no control over "Xur: Agent of the Nine" items, and it is spawned at random.

As leaked by Reddit’s fabled Megamanexe4, next week’s Strike is ‘The Summoning Pits’, starring Phogoth, everyone’s favorite Ogre. Next week’s Destiny Nightfall will feature

Despite being all anyone could talk about in 2014, Destiny chatter has been relatively quiet so far this year. After the December release of The Dark Below, once that content was complete, all that was left was the eternal grind and periodic events like the Iron Banner. But now, we’re moving closer toward the spring release of the game’s next expansion, House of Wolves, and with it, there are fresh things to discuss.
